Q: What pressure washer is good for gum remove. by Anthony Vasquez from California on August 14, 2016
A: If the gum is stuck to a durable surface like concrete, using a Turbo Nozzle and 3,000 PSI or more will remove stains and the occasional chunk of gum.
If you are cleaning an area with a lot of chewing gum, a Steam Pressure Washer will get the gum off faster. by Brian, Product Expert

Q: Are the M22 connectors metal threads or plastic? by Spencer Lovette from New Hampshire on July 30, 2016
A: They are metal threads with a plastic outside for grip. If you would prefer this to have quick connect fittings I have included a link to the kit you would want to purchase.
Q: Will this particular model (PPS3030HCI) work hooked directly to a water tank on a trailer with a 1" outlet? by Tim Hauber from Georgia on April 25, 2015
A: No, this unit and all the direct drive units need to be attached to a pressurized water source. In order for a unit to be gravity fed, it would need to be a belt drive unit. I have attached a link for you to view the belt drive unit I recommend that could be gravity fed from a water tank.

So Far So Good!
I tested it out on a rental home and have big plans for the house I am purchasing. It made short work of the garage.
I do need a 50ft house and am having a bit of difficulty find one for this machine.
Pros:Easy To Use, Light Weight, Fast, I'd Buy It Again

Susan,
These 50' Hoses with M22 Connectors will work with the M22 connectors on your pressure washer, or you could use an Adaptor Kit to change your M22 connections to 3/8" quick connect, widening the Hose Options available to you.
The problem I have with the unit is related to the engine. When using the pressure washer for anything over 30 minutes and then shut it down it will not start until the engine cools down. It can take up to 30 minutes before it will start again. Not good when trying to accomplish a task. Cooling is not sufficient for this Honda engine.
If it did not have the engine issues, it would have received 5 stars.
Pros:It washes.
Cons:Difficult To Use, Unreliable, Once the engine gets hot, it will not start until it cools down.

Geri,
I'm sorry your Honda engine doesn't want to start when it's warmed up- that is unusual. There are a couple things that might help. First, please be sure that you've turned the choke off when you try to restart the engine once it's warm; it won't need the additional gasoline.
If that doesn't help, you might want to try taking the gas cap off, then putting it back on before you restart the engine. Sometimes a piece of plastic or debris will clog the gas cap vent and a vacuum forms as gasoline is used, starving the carb. Taking the cap off breaks the vacuum, allowing the gasoline to flow.
If you're still having problems re-starting the engine, Honda GC engines have a 2 year Factory Warranty warranty. I used the Honda Small Engine Service Locator to find the closest Warranty Service to your zip code:
7.9 miles: Woodmaster Supply 221b S Piedmont Ave Rockmart, GA 30153-2629 (678) 757-1007
14.9 miles: Lost Mountain Outdoor 3185 Macland Rd Dallas, GA 30157-9332 (678 )363-7615
20.2 miles: Bells Ferry Ace Hardware 6437 Highway 92 Acworth, GA 30102-7524 (770) 926-0957
Since this is a busy time for pressure washer repair, I suggest calling to see which shop has the quickest turn-around time. You will need a copy of your invoice for Warranty work. Just click on My Account in the upper right corner of our website and follow the prompts to print one out.
We appreciate your business and apologize for any inconvenience.
Great compact size and portability which is a plus for me. Some other units have huge chassis which I do not need.
Performance is a little weaker than other units I have used in this pressure class but does a decent job.
After research and experience I wanted a Honda engine and a CAT pump which this has. This company is on it!
Pros:Easy To Use, Light Weight, Easy To Store
Cons:A bit weak

Excellent Experience
Smaller than I expected, and very well built. Took only a few minutes to get everything set-up, even with a bit of a SNAFU with filling the oil.
Started right up, and has worked like a beast without missing a beat since then. All told probably twenty hours on it so far and I remain very satisfied.
It's worth it to get the 50' hose, and quick connects, and the turbo nozzle is the only tip I've used. Works well for nearly all applications, once I got the hang of it.
The only thing I'd do different is order the 100' hose and and set of quick connects for the stock hose that comes with it.
Great machine.

This is a well built unit. I like the placement of the handles. It is easy to maneuver, the fittings are all top quality. Everything works well and I would buy this again.

"excellent company and the sales people are great to give you advice on products."
First the good news - this is a nice unit. The Honda engine with the Cat pump is a nice combination. And the chassis they are mounted on uses good materials with a handy place to store various nozzles.
Now the bad news -
- the handle is so short only somebody under 5 ft tall can cart it without bending over. Note to Pressure Pro - spend a dollar more on materials and use a real handle!
- the machine disassembled itself in the box because somebody didn't tighten the fasteners enough so the too-short handle and base became loose... bending the base, mashing brass threads on one of the fittings and scratching the handle.
-Some oil had leaked out of the machine, covering half of it. Lucky it is packed in a plastic bag so the mess was contained somewhat.
-But the documentation is the worst. One document covers the pump - but not the model I bought. A bag of parts is included but there are no true set up instructions so hope you are mechanically inclined to figure it out.

Neil,
I got your 11/3 email reporting the issues with the shipment, and asked the folks at Pressure-Pro to send you replacements as well as asking if there was a longer handle available. Pressure-Pro wanted pictures of the damage, so I emailed you on 11/3 asking if you could send me some, so I could forward them to Pressure-Pro.
When I hadn't heard back from you by 11/10, I emailed you again to follow up: " I still have not received any pictures of the damages done to the unit during shipping. Just send those over when you get a chance and we will get the issue handled right away. Any questions give me a call at 800-710-7499. "
You may want to check the Junk Mail folder on your email to see if that's where the requests are ending up. We are ready and willing to help- we just need the pictures for the folks at Pressure-Pro.
If you'd like more information on the CAT pump, you may want to check their website at www.catpumps.com.
Starts easily, works endlessly, CAT pump is flawless, never needs new fluid, The Honda is a Honda- it runs and runs.
3000 PSI is perfect for cleaning a concrete driveway. Recommend the turbo head attachment for faster cleaning, but be careful, it is powerful- use the 30 degree head for wood or composite deck, 15 degree for fiberglass boat.
Remember to change the engine oil after the first 5 hours, easy to forget. The cart is nice for maneuverability.
I would recommend getting quick connects for the high pressure hose and the water inlet.

Needs A Wand Holder
Yes, the handle is too short for anyone taller than 5', and there is no place to store the wand and hose........BUT....... by taping a 3' length of plastic electrical conduit to the handle on the right side, I have a place to holster the wand and since the conduit is taller than the handle, a place to wind the hose for storage.
The unit will not allow you to pull-start when there is water pressure in the system...... you will need to press the wand trigger to relieve the backpressure when restarting it during a job.

Not For Professional
If you are more than five feet tall it is difficult to move because the handle is so short. There is NO place to hold the hose or the wand. The only place to put the jug of cleaning solution on the cart is where the spray tips mount.
Trying to move this unit dragging the wand, hose and cleaner is extremely difficult If it is any kind of rough terrain it is even harder.
Great motor and pump very poor design. If I had not already thrown away the box I probably would have returned it.

Thom,
The shorter handle on this unit allows the package to meet UPS shipping regulations, so it can ship inexpensively by UPS instead of having to ship at a higher price by freight truck.
We would be happy to check and see if a longer handle is available for your unit- just give us a call at

This is first washer pressure I ever had. Every year I need to wash my driveway, walkway and patio floor. I used to rent the machine, but now second thought is to own one for myself.
I chose Pro Pressure brand name because I overheard people talking about and a research over the Internet learning people comments. I got the machine very quick after put in an order.
My first use was couple week ago, the machine was good as expected, small as easy to store in a garage and 3000 psi is just enough to do clean around the house. My problem only was I did not know exactly how to start! Several attempts was made to make the machine running.
But now it is easy and I am happy with it. This do a good job, my around house looked fresh and the side walk looked like new and clean.
I think I made a right choice to purchase this Pro Pressure Washer. Hoping it will last long as it cost.

Plenty of power for washing all varieties surfaces. The nozzles included can tackle all the jobs from cleaning the cars to concrete floors. Have done a lot of removing mold around the outside of the house.
Starting can be tricky but once I got used to it it was easy, only problem with performance. Great gas usage and easy to assemble, was very surprised at how small it was, easy to tuck away.
