Briggs & Stratton 020570 pressure washer accessories Reviews & Ratings

Works great for everything I've used it for.

Purchasing large items can be tuff if the store doesn't offer delivery. My option was to buy a power washer from Power Washer Direct because I could have it shipped.

I asked before I ordered it, what if it arrived damaged or had any problems and I was assured they would stand by the product. Well it did arrive damaged and it's been 4 months of chasing different companies to try and get help. I haven't used it yet and I'm hoping come spring (in live in the northeast) it'll even work. That is after I duck tape the broken pieces together. Very disappointed....

Does what a good pressure washer is supposed to do.

My husband and I looked at several models and chose the one best suited for both of us to use and was the best quality.

I was able to assemble it and get it running by myself without my husband's help. I did watch the web site videos which were very helpful.

Unit works great, starts with one pull.

I have always used someone else's pressure washer. Pressure washers that I have used were sometimes difficult to start or difficult to keep working with consistent pressure.

I used this one for the first time last weekend. It was not too difficult to put together. Once I figured out which hose connected where, it ran very well with lots of pressure.

The only thing that I don't like about it is: the water and pressure hose connections on the machine are located on the very bottom front of the machine. The only way I can connect the water and pressure wand to the machine is to tip the machine onto its back. It works but when I do it the machine won't start with the electric start so I have to use the pull start. I really wanted it to always start with the electric start.

Otherwise it works very well.

Gets worse every time I used it. Now it won't clean at all, just makes a lot of noise. Total junk !!!

I took the new pressure washer to a local dealer who put the battery in and charged it. I had to pay an up front cost which I should recover.

I would suggest someone change the manual or get better quality control. More use of quick- fits for pressure hoses and NOT thread connections.

About a month before buying the Briggs & Stratton Powerflow Pressure Washer, I bought another brand from a well known manufacturer. It did a good job but was much too difficult to start. Thankfully, a friend of mine offered to buy it from me.

That is when I began looking online and found Power Equipment Direct. In reading reviews about your company and the Briggs & Stratton Model, I made a decision to buy this unit.

After using this unit fora few weeks, I am extremely happy with its performance. It has the power to do the jobs used on and all I have to do is push a button to get it started.

I have use different pressure washers and this is the Best ever. Cleans, Easy to Use, Saves time, and not strenuous on your body.

Thanks Pressure Washer Direct & Briggs & Stratton! :)

My new pressure washer is pretty awesome.

It's just that forever I've been taught how important it is to idle the engine down before shutting off. I can't do that with my 3,000 PSI pressure washer.

Please advise me on how to go about idling down.

We have owned a couple of pressure washers over the years with various brand names and engines and our biggest complaint has been the difficulty getting them started. I am a petite 5 foot 5 inch tall woman weighing 115 pounds and I would ALWAYS have to get my husband to help pull the starting cord after I was flat out exhausted from trying to start our old washers. So, we decided to buy the Briggs and Stratton with Electric Start.

I got it out of the box myself, used the easy to follow directions and set it up, and tried it out. It started on the first press of the start button! It's as easy as that. There is no choking or priming involved. I have used the washer about 10 times since our purchase and each time it has started on the first start. The pressure washer does an excellent job with the multi-nozzle head that is included and it's easy to make all the connections with the water hose, etc.

This is not a weak unit! It gets the job done, but for me, the electric start has made all of the difference in the world so I can use it anytime I want without having to get someone else to help get it started. The only thing wrong with the unit was the red plastic cover on the front bottom of the unit was cracked when I received it, but it is just a cosmetic cover and hopefully I can get a new one to replace it. I give this unit rave reviews.

I bought this power washer because it has an electric start and i'm getting older. This is my third power washer and it is the best ever !!

When I open the box the unit was damage I will attached the pictures:

I did use the unit and I am very happy with the results. the unit mechanically operate great

Purchased for an 82 year old man who couldn't pull start. Runs great except when water is connected and the trigger is not pulled. The pump has serious flaws. Unit will start and immediately dies as water pressure builds and kills the engine. I have another generac 2,700 psi and this Briggs may, I stress may, produce 1,500 but more than likely about 1,000. Very weak performance by Briggs and Stratton on this product.

Mike was a great help, delivery was fast, and it's a very good machine.

Works great and I really like the electric start. Just wish the handle was a little longer.

Bought this about 2 years ago and from the get-go it was a near impossibility to start. Pull and pull and pull and pull . . . Well, you get the idea. I used it about 4 times in 2 years and it is still terrible to start. Nothing easy about it in any way, shape or form.

In pulling the starter cord you will, however, experience the exhilarating feeling of your heart beating nearly out of your chest. Quite the sensation. I am extremely tempted to simply leave it at the curb, but I fear someone will take it, try and start it, suffer a coronary issue and sue me.

Awful machine. Avoid like the plague.

So far I have washed my house with this machine. Works well.

Now the bad points: One of the soap tanks was not seated in its mount and there is no mention in the instructions of the correct way to secure it. I finally got it properly installed and added soap solution. This immediately began leaking out on the ground from the same tank that was not seated initially. Had to fight it back out so as to see what was leaking. It was a capped outlet on the tank whose cap was not installed completely (loose). I tightened the cap and fought the tank back in place.

The soap I had on hand was used in an old pressure washer with a different delivery system. It didn't do well on the house (despite of the good performance of the washer itself). I was expecting to find in the directions some recommendations and tips on what soaps should be used in this machine but there was nothing. I will be using on vehicles so I better search out information on the soap situation.

I think I am going to like this machine but also I hope the faults noted are not an indication of further problems.

Thanks for listening.

When received, the battery was DOA. B&S sent a replacement out right away so all is well. Works as advertised. Loud and small gas tank. love the electric start.

The engine does not recharge the battery so you need to plug in the charger from time to time. I can't seem to get the soap dispenser to be consistent-but i was not counting on this feature anyway.

It's cheap and poorly made, tanks fall off moving it around, hose connections leak, spray wand is an absolute joke and multi spray pattern nozzle is about the worst idea ever, it sprays erratically and doesn't want to "change on the fly".

Also the advertised pressure is not even close.... Maybe 1000psi it's less than the local car wash. Electric start lol.... Battery isnt powerful enough to spin the engine. I've charged it for 72hrs and still nothing.

To sum it up this was the biggest waste of my money I have ever spent, the machine is worth about $150.

I purchased this washer to be used in my vacation home specifically for the electric start feature since I already had a Troy-Built machine in good condition. I am a 128 lb woman and could not crank the motor with the pull cord, hence my choice of this one.

Assembly was fairly easy the wand seemed a bit complicated, with an extra safety button to coordinate. The nozzle was intriguing—six different settings in one, all by twisting the head to the desired point. I charged the battery the requisite 24 hours. The machine cranked reassuringly with the first push of the start button...Wow. And it was downhill from there...

The fit of the clever multi-pattern nozzle to the wand was so poor that more water was squirting back on me than was washing the deck. Problem #1 solved—a clever friend switched the Troy-Built wand with this one and I was back in business. Not so fast....the next time the electric starter gave barely a half-turn...and then fizzled to nothing. My friend cranked it manually and it worked beautifully...retro-fitted power wand and all. BUT...it never started again with the battery despite another overnight change.

I will be bringing it to a Briggs & Stratton service center over 150 miles away to see if it can be fixed, but the power nozzle seems hopeless. Needless to say, I am very disappointed.

I love this pressure washer. It is wonderful to have the option of electric start or pull start. I work at a lake and needed to get a lot of power washing done at the facilities, and It did a fantastic job, and will for years to come. It's small but powerful, and I take it in the back of my work truck and use it whenever and wherever it's needed. Great investment.

I got my Briggs & Stratton pressured washer less than 3 months ago. Arrived ok. Starts like a charm, but while washing the pressure disappears for about 30 seconds. This makes the product very frustrating. Help me please determine the cause.

The plastic front was broken when arrived. When it received the shock, the governor spring attachment was bent rendering the governor unresponsive. Therefore the motor would not run.

When I tried to put in a claim, they told me to have it repaired and they would reimburse me. The authorized dealer said that the broken shield was part of the frame and it would cost $350.00 just for the parts..

I did spend $75.00 to get the governor fixed but I will not risk you refusing the reimbursement.

First shipment was damaged. No problems exchanging it with second product.

Follow directions on use. Starts every time. Runs well. No more pulling recoils will save my neck and back.

Excellent product.

The electric start did not work but it was easy to pull start the pressure washer. It may be the battery but I haven't had time yet to check it.

My wife loves to run my power washer. However, she doesn't like to start it because of the pull rope. She went looking for one with a push button start and found it here.

We purchased the unit and it arrived quickly. Upon unpacking the box and inspecting the unit we noticed it was damaged. It was the fault of the shipping carrier. We called the support line and they issued an RMA and immediately sent out another unit. The entire process cost about a week but again this was no fault of Pressure Washers Direct.

We setup the new unit and charged the rechargeable starter battery. My wife loves the new unit and I would recommend it to anyone that doesn't like pull starters. It works wonderfully! Thanks!

Unit arrived in great shape and we unpacked it and set machine up, put in fluids and it kicked over first time out after charging for about 20 hours.

Very happy with it, my bud wants to borrow it already and that is a no-no.

This power washer works well with good power. My wife loves the electric start.

The multi function nozzle causes it to lose power. I replaced it with a regular one and it works fine.

Purchased this item in March 2015. Used the first time and it kept stalling. Used the second time it got worse. The third time, it wouldn't start.

Took to a Diamond dealer at the beginning of September, and still don't have it back Oct, 25, 2015.

I removed the pressure washer from the box and followed the instructions to put it together, was quite simple and started right up ran for apporox 10 seconds and died. The battery was discharged that quick. I let it set for a few minutes and starter still would not turn over so I used the pull starter and it started on first pull but while using the machine if I let off the handle it would die immediately also the plastic fron cover was broken, not a big deal as I cannot see any use for it anyway and it blocks the way to the spark plug. I now have to take it 50 mi to have some rep look at it so at this point the jury is still out.
