I bought this to use for washing my cars and I am glad I did. I had purchased a different unit from another retailer but when I took it out of the box the plastic plate the motor was mounted to was broken. So when I was assembling this unit I was interested in it's construction and was very impressed. The motor is mounted to a metal plate, the bolts on the cord wrap brackets screw into a metal nut, and even though the hose/nozzle storage plate is plastic it is thick and connects to the metal handle using 4 large screws. The unit performed as well as it was made and did a great job washing my truck that had just traveled several miles of gravel roads. I also purchased the Westinghouse foam cannon which is a great accessory! Looking forward to years of use from this unit.
I bought this a month ago and the set up was super easy with easy to read instructions. I love that there is a handle to put all the cords up so it all stays nice and neat without things everywhere.
