What is the PROBLEM?
Ever since I was a little boy, going back to my first purchase, probably something like a cap gun for a dollar at my local grocery store, I've had experiences; great, good, bad, etc. with products. In my forty years of purchasing things, I have never been so confused, aggravated, annoyed, and downright flummoxed by a product as I have been with this pressure washer.
I purchased, via Amazon, almost two years ago. I followed the directions on assembly. I have assembled things before. I think I am not a moron, and yet, it did not work. It did not turn on. So, I read the troubleshooting guide. When a product has a lengthy troubleshooting guide, walk away. I tried a new plug, a different extension cord, reset the GFCI, uttered spiritual incantations, and then, miraculously, it turned on! Then it shut back off. That was the summer of 2018. I never used it. It never worked.
Then summer of 2019 dawned. The world was introduced to Forky. "Old Town Road" topped the charts. And me and Joe decided to square off again. I was ready to battle, but unfortunately, he wasn't up to the challenge. Turn on, kick off, never come back on. At one point in the summer, he did spray for 10 seconds, and by the time I walked over to the house to begin, glorious, he had returned to hibernation.
Here we are. 2020. COVID. Time to clean the virus off the shingles. I cleaned the filter. I bought a new hose. I checked multiple faucets. Same. Result. I have given up. I am reminded of that cap gun I bought when I was five. Sure, it broke almost immediately, but at least it gave me a little bit of joy. When I order a pizza and it is wrong, at least I can still eat it. Joe, you broke my heart.
