Generac 2800 PSI (Gas - Cold Water) Pressure Washer

With easy-access hose connections and an on-board half-gallon detergent tank, Generac's 2800 PSI residential grade pressure washer provides a convenient solution that delivers maximum cleaning performance.

Powered by Generac's large OHV horizontal shaft engine and an axial cam pump, this 2800 PSI unit can be used to clean a variety of surfaces including home siding, driveways, porches, lawn furniture and everything in between.

First, let me say, I really love this pressure washer and with the sale price, free super fast shipping, with no taxes, it's hard to beat this 2800 PSI slice of home owner heaven.

The packing is sturdy and came unharmed. The gun is excellent and easy to hold. It started first pull and sounds strong. The output is impressive. It's easy to navigate around. And, for a pressure washer, looks pretty good. The heavy duty gas tank and lid are sweet.

There are a few nits to pick. Attention to detail was lacking on the labels and decals. A number of them were curling up at the edges. Make sure to hand press them all for a good stick.

The washer fluid siphon tube is heli-curled and doesn't sit in the fluid well. There also isn't a good way to route the hose to the tank. I'll have to think up a better way.

The gun handle holder was not attached to the cart handle. No hardware was supplied to attach it. Based on the manual, it looks like it should have been installed at the factory. Generac is supposedly sending me hardware.

Finally, the cart does slowly and slightly bounce around on hard surfaces such as a concrete drive. I recommend setting it in the yard for better tractioning.

I have upgraded with a longer wand, a surface cleaner attachment head and a 40' hose for 65' total. I see this lasting many years.

This Generac pressure washing is not built as well and the Generac pressure washer I purchased three years ago. Pop rivets are used to connect the frame parts an the ones that hold the motor mount to the frame at loosely installed. Also, the motor mount plate is bent. The wand holder is very flimsy and has to be modified if a longer wand is used.

This pressure washer starts first pull every time and runs a good long time with each fill of gas.

My only frustration involves the oil. The two openings to add the oil are so close to horizontal that any typical funnel doesn't work and the oil pours out on ground or unit. I had to tilt the unit up on its side to refill. Also, the place to drain the oil is close to impossible to access so again it just becomes easier to tilt it on its side to drain.

That said I've only had mine a couple of weeks but have used it many hours and am impressed with its performance .

I buy this about a month ago and I use it to wash the cars and the house it works fine, i wish it would be a little more stronger.

Functions well. Used it twice for a total of six hours. Initially had difficulty starting up because I didn't check the manual for what the icons meant.

Soap siphoning system is OK. Hose was a little stiff and due to its memory was hard to coil. Also a little difficult to attach the hose, could use a little more clearance.

Pressure washer was consistent in what was presented on the website. Products operates as advertised.

Great price however, only used it once for about 3 hours.

Nice pressure washer but why do you cut corners on the details? Think people would pay a little more for better quality of frame work�

In assembly your instructions say pour in complete bottle of oil in engine, well engine does not hold that much engine oil and the rest is on the garage floor.

Hard to move around since the wheel axle is bent and the cheap tires wobble and rub on the frame of the pressure washer.

Last do you make an extension for the frame handle to move the machine around if you are over 5�4� tall you have to lean way over just to grab the handle to move it?

I was impressed with the fact that on the first pull the washer started and ran fine during a 30 minute pressure washing job, however, after I had followed the shut-down procedure, the second time I tried to use it the starter cord was locked and the engine would not budge - - now having to take the washer into a service center for repair.

Not a good second impression.

Recently received my Generac 2800. For one, there is PLENTY of power for the average homeowner. If I had to do it again, I think I could get by with less power.

One afternoon I was washing off a boat in my driveway, I used the soap nozzle, and then switched to the white fan spray nozzle. After powering up, the nozzle was not quite seated in the wand, and poof, the nozzle was gone. I was aiming out into space so as not to destroy anything, and then spent the next hour or two searching for that darn nozzle in my crushed rock driveway. Never found it, so went to the local ACE and got a replacement. And then the next day, voila!, there was my old nozzle 50 ft. out from where I had been standing. ACE took the unused replacement back, and all is good.

The engine has 2 levers. One for the choke, and one for the fuel. The one for the fuel doesn't seem to do anything. Slide to min or max, the engine still seems to run at full throttle. Defective lever? Not needed? Seems like "idle" would be useful feature. I need to contact Generac and see what the normal situation should be.

Otherwise, great machine.
