Pressure Washers Reviews

I've been blasting moss of my sidewalks and paint off of my house (as well as cleaning garbage cans and litter boxes) with this for about a month now. It's not as powerful as a gas-powered power washer of course but with the turbo-nozzle it's powerful enough to blast through three layers of loose paint and gouge the old cedar siding it was on, so that's powerful enough for me. It's much quieter too (about the noise of an air conditioner) and much more convenient since I don't plan to use it very often.

Just remember that it can't be treated like a professional tool so you have to be careful when moving it around. Obviously the wobbly plastic wheels are a potential weak spot. The weakest however is the connector included to quickly attach (and detach) a garden hose. Not only does this plastic connector leak but it's very weak. One yank on the hose to the side caused it to snap in half. I decided to replace this connector with two replacement garden hose connectors on a short length of garden hose (use extra gaskets to insure a tight seal and prevent leaking).

The other weak part is the GFCI plug. An accidental knock to this can cause it to trip and refuse to reset. This may be related to temperature because it was warm when this happened and it eventually reset once it cooled down. In any case, be careful not to let it hit hard objects when you're moving the cord around.

This fills all my needs for a power washer. The only inherent disadvantage is that it has a narrower blast than gas-powered washers so it takes more time for it to remove paint or clean a large area of concrete.
