This was almost a 1 star review, like many others. Similar to many others, after 1 year in storage, the pressure washer ran for about half a second and then quit. For about 30 minutes, I could not get the pressure washer to work and I checked absolutely everything, power, water, etc.. Here are the facts. 1. If the spraying hose is pressurized, then the motor will turn off and stay off. It will not turn on again regardless of how many times you toggle it on/off or how many times you unplug/plug it into the wall. 2. If the unit isn't getting enough water from it's input, and the sprayer hose is not pressurized, the motor will run continuously. 3. If the nozzles get wet, they will rust themselves shut. 4. If you pull the trigger on the spraying hose, it will not spray anything and will not depressurize the spraying hose if #3 has happened. 5. After use, due to adhesion properties of water, there are droplets of water that gets stuck in the tip nozzle. This causes #3. Items #1, #3, #4 combined led me to believe my unit was dead after only one use (most likely like many other one star reviews). So what I did was I took the tip off the spraying wand and took a #00 flat head precision screwdriver and pushed it through the rust blockage in the nozzle from the outside of the tip. Once I did that, reattached the tip and then the unit functioned normally. Very important lessons learned for this pressure washer: 1. NEVER store your pressure washer with your nozzle tip still attached to the sprayer wand or it will not dry properly and rust out. There is a place to fit all the nozzle tips on the unit so they don't get lost in storage. 2. Take a paper towel and dry your nozzle tips off after every use. Otherwise they will rust out. Now my question, if anybody has the answer. Where can I buy nozzle tips that work with this modle and do not rust out? 4 stars for rusting nozzle tips. I really like the different types of tips, but the fact that they rust out is no good.
