First of all, I knew that the CH Pressure Washer I bought was a consumer level unit not designed to blow paint off of Battleship Hulls. My use is simply to do patios, sidewalks, driveways, and areas around my pool deck.
I bought this unit to replace an old CH washer that blew up after about 12 years. For my purposes, the PW1805 functions just fine.
My suggestions for the PW1805 have more to do with design rather than performance. As follows:
1. The power cord hook is too small to coil the entire cord easily. In addition there should be a bottom part of the hook to turn it into a cleat not unlike those on a boat deck for dock line.
Speaking of the cord, the GFI Reset plug is a real pain. I realize that codes are there, but any way to integrate that function into the main unit as a separate button by the power switch?
2. The garden hose connection swivel piece is too short and the connection point to the main unit is recessed too far into/under the case. Makes for some tough finger tightening in the confined space.
3. The connection to the wand should be a soft nose, hand tighten knurled collar wheel than a metal nut that requires a 16MM or 1116 open end wrench.
4. I like that the pump shuts off when I release the spray trigger. Longer diaphragm life undoubtedly.
5. The wheel are cheesy. I end up carrying the thing around for the most part. No big deal...Its not that heavy.
6. Connecting the wand hose to the unit could be easier. Create a better O Ring connection. Or make it a push in, turn, camlock design.
Would my suggested changes cost more? Of course. It might be worth it.
The PW 1805 is running just fine despite minor glitches.
