Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Briggs and Stratton is synonymous with quality motors for lawn equipment. Some equipment like ride-on lawn mowers will use Briggs and Stratton engines. The assembly was pretty simple and took under 10 minutes and the power washer is relatively light. A few items worth noting: - The instructions show two screws to attach the holster, although I only found one and holster held in place without incident. - Petroleum or synthetic grease is needed to lubricate the ends of the hoses, but none is included. As this is an electric-based unit, I knew that this would mostly be effective for smaller jobs. To be fair, the manufacturer's recommended uses are patio furniture, vehicles, and walkways. Nonetheless I figured I would try it on the siding of our house, which faces north and builds up moss over time. I uploaded a picture showing the siding before being power washed and then a picture after a good portion of the siding was power washed. Overall I was impressed with the results for an electric power washer. I did have to use the turbo tip as it was the only one strong enough to clean the siding. In addition, I did have to hold the nozzle no further than 18 inches from the siding. Less than ideal, but again the model rated for siding is almost $100 more expensive, so I realized I was pushing the extents of the power washer. I also used the power washer to clean our patio and cars. I used the smaller black nozzle to soap up both before power washing. The soap stream does not come out as strong as the yellow nozzle or the the black turbo nozzle. My only minor gripe with the unit was the holster, which I was disappointed was plastic and not very strong plastic. It looks like it may eventually break, which is not the end of the world. Another thing to remember, this is electric, so the power cord will only stretch so far - this is why power cords were invited. :) Overall I was quite pleased with the power washer, especially since I was able to use it not just for the patio and the cars, but also the moss build-up on the siding.
