Received this from Amazon yesterday and have spent the day doing a number of projects with it (driveway, vinyl siding, engine compartment of a car I am working on, etc…). Overall, I am very pleased. The pressure is pretty impressive for an electric unit and the nozzle allows for easy adjustment of the stream width.
The quality of the device is similar to what you would get from a residential vacuum cleaner, which means that it seems like it will hold up ok, but there are parts that could easily be broken if you were careless. The water input is probably the most likely thing to break as it is plastic and someone tripping over the hose could break it off. Also, you have to push pretty hard the first time or two to get the quick-connect to catch. That said, for a non-commercial unit, it is not bad at all and seems as good as anything else in the price range if not better.
The biggest complaint I have is with the instruction manual. It tells you nothing. I could not figure out how to get the detergent dispenser to work and called their customer service number. I mentally prepared myself for the multiple phone prompts and broken english, but I was pleasantly suprised as person with an American accent picked up the phone immediately, was friendly, and had the information to help me (the detergent only works on low pressure - again, something that should be in the manual, but isn’t).
If you are looking for an inexpensive, around-the-house pressure washer and need something a little more powerful than the baseline units, this one would be a good consideration.

I only had this item for a day. That is because after I unboxed it and set it up to use, the plastic quick connect they use for the incoming water, from your hose, was actually blown off the pressure washer. I have several other plastic quick connects, of better quality, I use for changing sprayers on my garden hose. I figured maybe the included quick connect had a hairline fracture or was just faulty in some way. So, I exchanged the broken one with one of mine. Again I squeezed the trigger and the same thing happened. The pressure washer cycled on and the second I let go of the trigger, the back pressure again blew the new quick connect off the back of the machine. Though this time it didn’t just snap the teeth that hold it on the nipple (this quick connect actually grabbed much better), but snapped the entire quick connect in half. It takes an awful lot of sudden high pressure to do that. This is when I knew it was poorly designed, so I packed it up and sent it back. Unless you have an anti-syphon valve at the faucet outside, then all this pressure will be forced back into the pipes in your house. If you do have an anti-syphon valve, then the hose used to supply water to the pressure washer will need to absorb the additional back pressure and depending on the quantity of water and quality of hose, that could mean busted hoses. I don’t understand why they would design a pressure washer that builds pressure in both directions, it seems stupid to me. Or, on the hand, I received a lemon in which case I still wouldn’t want a product from a company with that little quality control.

The product came in with a broken basket,after I notify you rebate was issue for the purchase of a new one…I thank you for that. However, the machine comes with a very poor manual on how to use it. My biggest issue was trying to connect the house…….had I not called I would have never got it going. Another problem was on mixing the chemicals, there is nothing there that tells me it only works on low pressure. Other than that it is a good machine..Please issue a more informative manual in order to keep people from call back. Thank you for all your help….n.Rod
