I just received this so I cannot comment on long term use. But using this along with the 15 " surface cleaner really does a great job on my old driveway and walkway path to the front door. It seems to have nice power to it when using the different nozzle attachments. The build quality of the washer seems very solid and really does make it superior to other electric washers. It was not hard to put together. It is nice that is does not run constantly like a gas powered one so the neighbors will not be too annoyed by it. I am looking forward to using it more to keep things clean.
I almost purchased a gas operated Pressure Washer and decided on the electric since I would be using 3-4 times a yr. Glad I did….all the pressure I need around the house.
