Q: Bill, I'm home owner looking for a power washer. Intended use is to clean lawn furniture, my dock, house siding---cedar shakes, and other power equipment. What would you recommend. by Joe Tansey from New York on June 17, 2011
A: You can do gas or electric, but gas gives you the most options to do whatever you like. Something in the 2500 psi to 3000 psi would be more than ok. If you are looking to ever remove some paint, 3000 psi would then be your best bet and anything higher from there would be getting the job done quicker.
Thanks,

Q: I see the Generac 6022 has a "soap" nozzle. I also see the "ladder saver" will not work if your pressure washer requires a "black tip".
Will the ladder saver work with the Generac 6022?
Will the ladder ssver work with the Briggs & Strattton 20418? by John from Georgia on May 15, 2011
A: You can use the ladder saver with either of these models. The only problem is you cannot dispense soap with the ladder saver and would have to purchase a down stream chemical injector. Basically what you would be doing would be keeping the detergent out of the pump.

Q: Does the psi of water flow going into the washer have to be 50 psi. Can it be less and still function properly? by Tim from South Carolina on May 14, 2011
A: The pressure going into the pump does make a difference, but what you can do is take a 5 gallon bucket and fill it up, if you are able to do this in under 1 minute, you should have enough flow in order to use the pressure washer. Another thing to keep in mind would be the length of water hose you would be using going into the pump. This can dimish flow and pressure as well.

Q: Bill, I have a question about the power washers. I'm looking for a power washer with a brass pump. Does the Generac or Briggs & Stratton 2700 PSI pressure washers have brass pumps? Thank you, Norman Purzycki by Norman Purzycki from Michigan on April 30, 2011
A: Both Generac and Briggs & Stratton have pumps installed on their units that have aluminum housings (body) with brass heads. This is going to be typical on all residential grade gas pressure washers. by Bill, Product Expert
Q: What is the warranty and how would I would it get fixed if there was a problem? by David from Pennsylvania on April 18, 2011
A: This model comes with a 2 yr. manufacturer's warranty. If you were to have any mechanical issues with the unit within that timeframe, you would simply contact Generac directly for a location of a Generac authorized service center. You may also visit their website www.generac.com to find a location in your area. The service center would then inspect the machine and make any necessary repairs under the warranty at no charge to you. by Bill, Product Expert

Bill's Recommendation
This is an extremely versatile pressure washer. It's strong enough to tackle most household chores, yet affordable enough to match the family budget.
Generac is known for quality power equipment, and this unit is no exception. The engine is a robust 196cc, and it has a sturdy axial cam pump.
We like the completely redesigned cart, too. It's balanced and easy to maneuver, with an easily accessed detergent tank at the bottom. The unique wand holster is in the middle of the frame, where it won't get knocked off in the garage.

Generac Does The Job!
My first pressure washer was an 1800 psi unit from one of the big box stores. It did an OK job, but only lasted 3 seasons of light use around the home. A neighbor & I decided to chip in for a better pressure washer.
The GENERAC 6022 had the features & price we were looking for. After a very informative phone consultation with a sales rep at Pressure Washers Direct, I placed the order for one. The unit arrived in about 3 days and was very easy to assemble.
Our first job was my neighbors white siding, which had green and black mildew stains. The GENERAC started right up on the very first pull and those stains were no match for it. Didnt even presoak with chemical cleaner.
Now on to the patio furniture. Another great result. This week its my turn to use the pressure washer. I plan to clean some of the built up dirt on our wood deck.
So far, we are both very impressed with the machines build quality and ease of use. The assortment of tips and an on board detergent tank are other good features.

I think its great.
I have been doing some shopping around for a while for a P W. I do a lot of research before I invest my hard earned money into a tool. I read all the reviews to see what folks are saying about certain products.
I received the Pressure Washer today, very easy to assemble. Three pulls started right up.
Did my drive way front of house including my porch. Started on the side of my house where the mold is growing. Only reason I stopped- need a 30 foot ladder.
It was very easy to start every time I had to shut it off, big complaint with Honda motors and their competitors, not this puppy. I had it on a slope never shut off, it is well worth the money thus far.
I can not wait til I get a ladder to finish the job.

Power washing a deck
I received my Generac a few days ago. After opening up the box, it took me no more than 5 minutes to assemble the pressure washer. This morning I proceeded to begin to power wash my 20 x 22 deck.
This deck has been neglected for the past 5 years and would be a true test for any pressure washer. Well, after 7 hours of continuous spraying, the Generac started up on the first pull and ran without any problems. The power of the water was exceptional. I was even able to bring back the natural color of the wood!
This is an exceptional piece of machinery. The hose connections are in a clear unobtrusive location, the wand is sturdy and comfortable to operate, and the wheels keep the unit stable while working. I am very impressed with the quality of craftsmanship that went into this machine.
I am so glad I went with Generac and I would highly recommend this product over any other residential unit available.

So far it has been great
So far it has been great.
Used it for 3 days without problems. Easy to assemble. Using green nozzle for decks. It doesn't like the high pressure nozzle for very long but that nozzle has limited use anyway.
Hopefully, it continues to be trouble free.

Needs to be level
So far its a great unit. Only issue is that it must be level at all times while running it or it will shut itself off. The Oil level sensor is very sensitive.
This will however, make it last by not allowing it to run with improper oiling of the crankshaft due to sitting on an uneven surface.
We are very happy with the unit and Generac in general.
Thank you for a fine product.

Works well
The washer seems to work well. I did find that a big box store has something similar; the model number was not the same but the machine was the same in different box.
PWD RESPONDS: Please check carefully when comparing units with different model numbers. The Big Box Stores will order specially made units to hit a specific price point, so the details can differ- hose length or size; pump manufacturer, number of spray tips, etc.

Mean washing machine
Purchased this pressure washer sometime ago and it has not failed me yet.
To start, the assembly was so easy right out of the box. Within a few minuets, I was washing the entrance way to the house. It handles very well when it come to getting around.
