To be clear, I didn't want to go all out and get an expensive and/or space-consuming pressure washer. I was just looking for something small that would perform well washing my siding, cars, driveway, grill, deck, etc. I came across the Westinghouse ePX3100v and was intrigued by how it matched what I was looking for. I bought it a few weeks ago.
What I DON'T LIKE: -the hose is not flexible, and difficult to straighten out. I will be replacing this immediately. -there is no swivel to help straighten out the hose. I bought a quick-connect that swivels, so that is no-longer an issue -no wheels, no storage for the wand...I would prefer having wheels
What I DO like: -it was inexpensive, and still had a lot of great reviews online -it has the same pressure, but higher gpm than other similar washers, which I see as a positive feature -it doesn't take up a lot of space -it doesn't have to constantly run...only when you're spraying it...and it is pretty quiet -I've tried it out on quite a few things and it has done what I wanted it to do, including making quick work of caked on dirt on my deck and siding -it is easy enough to use that I keep finding more things I can clean with it -based on my research, I think I would need to spend quite a bit more to get something I liked better
