Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had to wrestle with myself with this purchase. I'm an all or nothing guy. The man in me was telling me to get a gas powered 3800-4000 psi pressure washer but the practical side of me (and the wife) was telling me to look at electric washers in the 1600-2000 psi range at a significantly cheaper price than the gas powered ones. I know that feel, bro. This is a great electric pressure washer for home use. Got the package in 2 days per amazon Prime free 2 day shipping, no problems there. Assembled the unit in about 15 minutes with the aid of the instructions, no sweat. Hooked up the sprayer hose to the unit and to the spray wand, simple. Hooked up the water hose to the OEM connection provided with the unit, cake. Plugged the unit into 120v outlet and primed the hoses with the power off. Put a spray tip into the spray wand, fool proof. Turned the power on and pulled the trigger. Everything worked with no problems or issues. No leaks or anything. Unit has plenty of power for home use. I cleaned my back patio concrete slab and part of my very long driveway with ease. Took the grime out of the concrete and made it look like new. I was surprised at the power this unit has and how quiet it runs. The pump only runs when you pull the spray trigger. This sprays with a little bit more power than the drive in do-it-yourself car wash sprayers and those will take the skin off you if you put your hand in the spray. The strength in this unit is its versatility. You can apply this unit to multiple jobs quickly with the changing of the spray tips. I washed my truck with this sprayer and it worked great. I feel I even used less water than I would have if I had just used the water hose with a garden nozzle. I have used this washer to clean a lawn aerator (rental) that was clumped with mud. I cleaned mildew off of my yard fence and stripped some of the stain out of the wood so this unit has enough power to damage some surfaces. The spray wand is long enough for me and I'm 6'2". The build quality is sturdy and solid. The sprayer hose is a flexible rubber that is wrapped with a protective layer of something but it appears high quality. I gave this 4 stars because the unit is a little cumbersome to move around with all of the hoses connected to it. The water hose connects to the front of the unit and the sprayer hose connects to the back of the unit. I found myself wrestling with hoses when I needed to move the unit. If both the water hose inlet and the spray hose outlet were on the back of the unit then it would be easier to move around without potentially damaging the fixtures. All in all, this is a good machine and it will suit a homeowners needs well for average use.
