Q: Hello Bill, I purchased a Briggs & Stratton 1800 psi electric pressure washer from your company that I am very satisfied with. (Is a spare inlet water screen available?) In re to Karcher gutter cleaning wand: Is it compatible with the B&S pressure washer? My gutters are totally packed with wet leaves. Would the Karcher wand blow out such an accumulation, or is it best to remove the leaves by hand? Tom by Tom Willard from Florida on August 27, 2011
A: Unfortunately we do not carry spare parts such as the water inlet screen for that machine. You could contact Briggs & Stratton directly at (800) 743-4115 or check your local hardware store to purchase a water inlet screen. As for a gutter cleaning wand, this is a great tool for blowing out leaves and would definitely speed up the process. Also, your 1800 psi machine with a gutter cleaner attachment would definitely be able to clean your gutters with ease.
However, this Karcher gutter cleaner attachment would NOT be compatible with your Briggs & Stratton model 20358. Karcher attachments are only compatible with Karcher electric pressure washers. I am posting a link below to a gutter cleaning attachment that would be compatible with your pressure washer. See below:
Even with the best intentions, stuff happens. The lance that went into the garage straight sometimes comes out looking like a pretzel.
Replacing your high pressure spray wand is easy if you follow these tips:
GAS PRESSURE WASHERS
Keep your eye on two important things. First, get the right grade. There’s no point in buying a professional-grade spray lance for an ordinary consumer-grade power washer.
Secondly, get the right tip. Spray wands have two types of ends.
If you like to switch spray patterns frequently, get one with a quick-connector, you simply snap your spray tips or turbo nozzle into the end of the spray lance.
If you want something simple, get a spray lance with an adjustable nozzle instead. You simply adjust the spray pattern from narrow to wide by twisting the nozzle.
ELECTRIC POWER WASHERS
Electric power washers lack the strength of their gas counterparts. As a result, they’re spray wands are made of plastic instead of heavy-duty aluminum or steel.
They’re easier to connect too. You simply push the bayonet-style fitting into the gun and twist to lock the connection.
If you have a Karcher electric power washer, you’ll need to purchase Karcher attachments. Other brands are not compatible and will not work properly.
If you have another brand, get the Powerwasher version. These universal kits contain up to 5 adapters to fit all of the major electric pressure washer brands.
TELESCOPING WANDS
Pressure washer lances will extend your gun by 2-3 feet, so you don’t have to bend over to clean the floor.
If you want to extend reach by 18-24 feet, check out our telescoping wands instead.

Good value, as expected.
Delivery and shipping from Pressure Washers Direct was outstanding. Assembly was easy, although a small hose retaining clip was missing. Customer service had another shipped from the company in a couple of days.
This unit looks a bit like a toy compared to more robust gas powered washers, but according to its performance, which is generally good, I believe it lives up to specifications.
I use it for washing the car, cleaning the BBQ, and cleaning the concrete and deck. The supplied nozzles cover the range needed for these tasks. I also bought the underbody & gutter cleaner. This is really useful if you need to get under or above areas easily powerful, too.
Per other reviews, the quick connect plastic hose connection broke the first time I was careless and tipped the unit over. Unless you're a really careful person, you may as well order the brass replacement at the same time you purchase the unit. I bought mine at the hardware store.
A drawback to the unit is its lightness and lack of stability. It will tip over if you get in a hurry. On the other hand, you don't have to hurry. No worries about the pump overheating if you release hand pressure on the trigger. When you do, the electric motor turns off. This saves pump overheating, power, water, and enables the user to just take a break without having to be constantly using the unit or restarting a gas engine. (Be sure to turn the unit off if you walk away for more than 5 minutes!)
If you need more power and are looking for something really heavy duty to take a lot of abuse, this washer is not for you. If you want something that's ready to be wheeled out, plugged in and used moderately for the types of things mentioned, I can recommend the Karcher K5.740.
