unexpectedly good for an electric pressure washer
I didn't really want to buy an electric (I have a Briggs & Stratton 6hp gasoline powered washer), but had an area where I needed something that was less noisy (more on this below). I had an electric a few decades ago, big name, useless. So I was leery. I was very much surprised. This worked really very well. It's not as powerful as my gasoline device, but it's not so far off either. I think this device is really quite adequate for most residential/homeowner applications. I would buy it again, no question. Strengths and weaknesses:
STRENGTHS:
like I said, it did a darn good job, only a little slower than my gasoline;
there is a good selection of nozzles, and they change in a snap (pun);
although the high pressure hose is not very long (20'), the electric cord give you a pretty good range;
no oil, no oil change, no exhaust.
WEAKNESSES:
the assembly instructions were absolutely appalling;
it is far from quiet. You don't really need hearing protection, but it's close;
the trigger needs a very firm grip to keep it engaged. I'm pretty strong, and after an hour my hands were tired. no reason for this;
yeah, the aluminum garden hose connection is really going to have a short life, junk. Why cheapen a good product with this?;
did I mention how appalling the assembly instructions are?
Nonetheless, overall pretty good, even surprising, and I would indeed buy it again.
