Almost as perfect as I had hoped for. This machine is so well thought out, and it's design is very thoughtful. As sharp and well designed as it is, there are a few finishing touches missing which, if product-tested these things would have been done right and THEN I would have to say it's the most complete and perfect Power-Washer on the market.
1. The hose connection is plastic! That's right, PLASTIC?! ?ARE THEY KIDDING?! Forget how easy it will be to strip it if not careful ... the power washer weighs 100+ pounds - AND IS ON WHEELS! Although there's a 'brake', I'm sure the hose will be used to pull the unit as it's needed to creep along. Certainly not designed-tested before production.
2. The hose reel placement and function is great. It' works well, and is easy to spool the hose back onto the reel with a cleverly designed folding handle. However, once the hose is wound up, there's no place to secure the wand-end. So as you wheel the cart it unravels (fast) and you're constantly drop-dragging the hose. Not good as it's a threaded end and will certainly damage. It completely unravels when transported in a trailer or vehicle. Why they didn't put a clip on the reel is another mystery that wouldn't take place if they product tested it before manufacturing.
3. There are only two heads (or tips) that come with this unit. Cheaper units come with multiple tips. On a good note, the fan tip it does come with is without doubt the finest, most precise, and perfect spray pattern I've EVER seen. If they offer other tips with such perfect machined-quality like this, I'd gladly pay for them ... if they were offered.
In review, other than the points listed, which are things I'll make/fabricate solutions for, this is the finest Power Washer I've ever had, and I've had a lot. I went electric as the area it's being used in now has noise code restrictions, and I had reservations about it being as powerful as my gas powered units, but all my concerns are satisfied. This is one incredible unit and it performs outstandingly well. It's rugged, balanced, and easy to manuver. It's also quiet which is great on the ears and the complaints have stopped."..." Read more
