 Generac is known for quality power equipment, and this unit is no exception. The engine is a robust 196cc, and it has a durable axial cam pump.
The frame on this unit is a very well thought out design with the consumer in mind. It's balanced and easy to maneuver, with an easily accessible detergent tank at the bottom.
The unit included a Soap Blaster which reaches further than traditional detergent nozzles and a turbo nozzle which will clean those hard to remove stains.

My First Gas Pressure Washer
This is my first gas pressure washer. I had an electric that took forever to use.
My new Generac did a great job on my driveway, sidewalk, and pool deck. It took no time at all. The wife's happy and we're ready for the summer.
Pros: Features, Price, Exceeded Expectations, I'd Buy It Again Patrick Recommends This Generac Product Patrick's Experience With Pressure Washers Direct "It was easy to order the pressure washer over the phone. The person I spoke to was very helpful. Even though it was backordered I was informed about the status and it actually came earlier than I was expecting." moreWas this review helpful? 80 |

Most Helpful Critical Review  Still Waiting On Parts!
This unit had a bad turbo nozzle!! Been 4 weeks still wating on nozzle! :-( Customer service not good!!
Pros: Easy To Use, Easy To Store Cons: Low Quality Product Expert Jerry, It seems like you have contacted Generac customer service to replace your nozzle since I don't see anything in our files. A follow up call to the manufacturer will generally get good results, but it is the busy season for pressure washers.
I've asked our Post Sales folks to send you a replacement turbo nozzle at no charge from our stock so you don't have to wait any longer. They will post the tracking number to your account when it ships so you'll know when to expect it.
Please be sure to always have the turbo nozzle pointing down when you pull the trigger, then raise the wand up to start cleaning. This ensures that the spinning disc inside that provides the turbo action won't be jammed in the wrong position by the high pressure water slamming into it.
We appreciate your business, and I'm glad we've had this opportunity to be of service! moreWas this review helpful? 20 |

 Thumbs Down The pump started leaking the second time I used it. I talked to a service dealer and he said he wouldn't sign with them again. He wouldn't fix the pump. Sooooo frustrated.

Great Little Machine! We wanted a pressure washer because we have a cedar house and got tired of borrowing other people's washers. I was afraid an inexpensive model would mean we got a cheap disappointment. Not with this one! Love it.
We've finished power washing the house - it did a great job - and it was easy because the wand is light and easy to hold. It works on the car, on the sidewalk, we're finding that now that we have our own, it's great for all kinds of stuff. Still starts on the first pull.

Good Machine Satisfied! Good machine. Good delivery time. Hose hanger was missing, but was sent quickly. Lance holder is lame, plastic push pins. Preferable is bolts and metal hanger.
The pressure dial is a great feature.

Not Too Happy When we received the pressure washer everything was done per the the manual. The pressure washer would not start. We syphoned out the gas. We purchased a new gas can and refilled. The pressure washer still would not start. We contacted Generac and they gave the service centers near us. No one could get to it for two months.
Finally after setting a week it finally started. They recommend removing the detergent so it will not thicken. What a disaster that is. There is no drain.
Pros: Price Cons: Difficult To Use, Bad Instructions Carolyn Recommends This Generac Product Product Expert Carolyn, I am so sorry you had problems getting the pressure washer started. I'm glad you got it started after it had a chance to sit for a while, although that sounds like the fresh gas dissolved some debris that was blocking the fuel line.
Usually detergent tanks that don't have a drain can be unclipped from the frame for draining and cleaning. I'm sorry if that isn't the case with this model. Keeping the detergent thin so it can be picked up by the water flow is key- you can always add a little water to it if it's not thin enough.
We appreciate your business, and apologize for any inconvenience. moreWas this review helpful? 00 |

Happy With The Purchase This unit is not as easy to start as I thought it would be. It's mainly because there is not really a place to put your foot when you pull the cord. It also vibrates a lot inside of the frame. That vibration does not carry through the hose to the wand however. Now for the positive-
I got it out of the box and immediately started cleaning about 700 sq ft of decking and steps. The high quality hose is light and stays out of the way. The wand has 4 settings. I thought it would be gimmicky but I really like it.
The unit is easy to transport. It's easy on the gas. I started with a full tank and filled it again once. I probably used a 1/4 tank after that. I like having the chemical tank attached. However, it is in the way of putting your foot on the frame when you start the engine.
If I had to replace it tomorrow I would buy this one again. I'm very happy with it overall. This unit is not as easy to start as I thought it would be.

Finally!!! Finally A Power Washer That Meets My Expectations! I got this 2 days after I ordered it- set up was quick and easy like 15 minutes. I have had issues with a different brand that was supposedly one of the best and fought with that one and a new replacement- both very disappointing, ended up demanding a full refund.
I ran this for 7 hours on the machine the first day- ready for a quick oil change now per the recommended requirements. I used less than 2 gallons of fuel. Machine has a ton of power and made cleaning my cedar fence a breeze- especially with the turbo nozzle. I also am so happy with the no-kink hose that comes with this product- I don't miss monkeying around with the one I used to have.
Machine starts easily cold or hot. Very happy with the pump being enclosed and not having to mess around with that- my old one had a breather vent and spewed oil out all the time from vibrating when filled to the recommended level- killed grass in several spots.
I don't very often write reviews and only do when I am overly pleased with a product or severely disappointed. I am delighted to write an excellent review for this product!
