Strong Performer With Few Flaws
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.

Design Flaw Render This A Useless Long-term Machine
A pressure washer is just an engine and a water pump so where are the differences between models?
Model 6922 has three major design flaws.
1. The water connection is made of plastic, not metal so it is not durable it can deform or wear out before a metal connector would. This leads to design flaw #2
2. The water and pressure connections are oriented sideways, not directly backwards. This means when you move the pressure washer during operation your hose will exert a lateral torque on the plastic water connector which causes you hose connection to pull out of the connector. Water sprays all over the hot parts of the machine, you have to shut off the machine and water to reconnect it and you don't dare move the machine again without disconnecting the hose. This is a major productivity hit.
3. The vibration of this machine causes it to move during operation. The front foot will then scratch a jagged line into your concrete which will be permanent. Or, if you are pressure washing near your pool the machine could vibrate itself into the pool. I tried wedging a piece of wood under the wheels but it's only partially effective, and I never had to do this with my Craftsman machine. I am very disappointed, and now hate this machine.

Cons: Durability, Low Quality, Difficult To Use, moves with vibration Ed Does Not Recommend This Product Product Expert Ed, First and foremost thank you for your purchase of one of our Generac pressure washers. We are sorry to hear you are having issues with your pressure washer. The machine does come with feet vibration pads to prevent this problem, please let us know if you have those. Excessive vibration can also be caused by air in the pump, leaks in the inlet hose, This unit has a 2-year Factory Warranty from the folks at Generac, we would also highly recommend having a service look at the pressure washer if you do have the vibration pads. I have attached a link to the service center for you to reach out to them, Generac Local Service Center Locator.

Good Power Washer
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.
Pros: Easy To Use, Light Weight, Easy To Store Cons: Expensive Manuel Recommends This Generac Product Product Expert Manuel, If you'd like a more powerful spray, this 3.0 Turbo Nozzle may help you. It's rated for a higher flow than your pressure washer, but what matters is the size of the opening- 3.0 will be good for your unit, and the spinning high pressure spray will deep-clean durable surfaces like concrete and pavement.
Please be careful using this nozzle on any surface and test in an inconspicuous area first. more Manuel's Experience With Pressure Washers Direct "I had no issues with my buying experience in Power Equipment Direct." more Was this review helpful? 2 0 |

Great Purchase!
Great purchase! It starts on first or second pull every time. A tank of gas last several hours which is very nice.
If I have a criticism it is that it is hard to roll and hang the wand cord when finished.

Impressed!
I bought this power washer after getting burnt on a Troy power washer. It wasn't worth $1.00 much less than what I paid for it. I would not own anything with the Troy name on it. But back to this review...
I purchased this a couple of months ago and wanted to use it for awhile before writing a review of it. I have now used it on several jobs around the farm here. On one day I ran it through almost two tanks of gas and it still performed well.
Out of the box assembly was easy and I was sort of surprised at how few parts there to assemble. Once together, oiled and gassed up it started on the first pull. Ah, so far so good. started power washing brick and two hours later took a break. Returned and again it started on the first pull.
I have used this to clean the deck, house, carport and the the cement floor of the carport which took a long time due to me having put something over the concrete which didn't hold up and had to come off. I'm glad to report that if I had to get another power washer at any point. I would again get this one.
I gave it less than 5 stars on the feature category because they could have made the handle taller. When pushing it around you have to bend over and walk like that to get to where you want it. This is not a problem if you are 4'2". Would it kill them to make the handle taller? That's it, the only complaint I have but it's a minor one......unless you have to walk a long way pushing it.

Used it for the first time to clean the fins on a A/C unit. WOW. very nice job. Fins looks brand new and with cotton trees in the area which means a lot of cotton, we have noticed a change in the A/C performance.

Good Pressure Washer, Not Perfect
My only issues that keep this power washer from perfection the holder does not support the wand very well, occasionally my tip/nozzle would contact the ground and I'm worried about breaking it.
The high pressure hose is very stiff, however every unit I have ever used is the same way. The siphon hose that draws up the soap concentrate flaps around loosely, count on adding 5-6 of your own zip ties to secure it to the frame. The black rubber foot is made from a material that leaves marks on my driveway. It was frustrating having to clean up marks left by the power washer I am trying to clean with.

Easy To Setup
All ratings are very limited usage at this point. It would have been unfair to limit the rating until a major workout has been performed.
Unpackaging and assembly was very easy. Started on first pull. Pressure seems adequate. The location of the serial number and model number not convenient at all.
Initial testing appears to have very good performance. Once I take on my patio I will have a better feel for the performance. Generac website needs some major work and overhaul. It defaults to generators and leaves you hanging on whether you are dealing with the pressure washers or generators.
The account area needs a major overhaul to be more user friendly. It was difficult to understand the "contact us" e-mail page was very limited in question space. Customer Service responded within 10 hours but response was limited in determining what they were saying. The user manual should be clearer and can't locate a parts schematic for future ordering.

Generac 2800 Psi (gas - Cold Water) Pressure Washer Review
I have used it twice, the second time I used it I had a problem with very little pressure found out it was a worm clogging up the input, after removing it, it worked great.

Dead After One Day's Use. Very Disappointed.
We used this pressure washer for an entire day and it worked great. Tried to start it up the second day and no luck. Tried everything. Decided to check the oil level and water came gushing out. A seal must have blown during the first day's use.
We ended up driving to the closest service center for warranty work which took over an hour round trip. Hope to have it back by mid-July. We shouldn't have this problem or inconvenience after one day of use. Clearly we were dealt a defective product as we did everything by the book.

Dies Frequently While Washing, Full Of Oil & New Gasoline
Dying and having to stop and restart is not acceptable.
Pros: Easy To Use, Price Cons: Unreliable Doyle Does Not Recommend This Product Product Expert Doyle, I understand your frustration- you'd rather be cleaning than messing with the engine. One thing you may want to try is loosening your gas cap to see if that makes a difference. Sometimes a stray piece of the cap plastic will block the vent on the gas cap- as gas is used, it creates a vacuum and starves the engine.
If this helps, please give the folks at Generac a call at 888-436-3722 so they can send you a replacement gas cap. (Be sure to have the serial number of your pressure washer handy when you call- they will ask for it.)

Beware Generac #6922
I would love to write a review of the performance of my recent purchase, the Generac #6922 pressure washer but I have not been able to use it yet. On receiving the unit I assembled it as instructed, added oil and gas, connected and turned on the water hose to the unit. I attempted for several minutes to start it but was unsuccessful.
I then contacted customer service and received no help as the technician read back to me the instruction manual I had already closely followed. When the unit still refused to start I was given the names of a couple authorized dealers in the area where I could take the unit for service.
I have waited over 3 weeks for the service company to find the time to get to the unit for "repair". I will never purchase a Generac product again, and will certainly not ever purchase an appliance or mechanical equipment online again.

Great Machine
Glad I bought this pressure washer. Assembly was easy, and the initial start up went smoothly.
I've used it three times now, cleaning years of dirt and scum from my driveway, front walkway, and patio. Surprised at how little water it uses. Soon will tackle the exterior of the house.
Pressure Washers Direct had the best price with no sales tax and no shipping charge. What a deal!

Can Not Recomend
I replaced a power washer that was over 15 years old that was just worn out that was a great piece of equipment. I purchased this one in March, it ran fine for the first four times that I used it, starts easy, ran great, etc., burned 2.5 tanks of gas, no problems.
In early April I set it up to wash the house and it started on the 2nd pull. I proceeded to use it, then suddenly,after 3-4 minutes of running the engine shut off as if it had run out of gas (I had just filled the tank up with non ethanol gas). I pulled the start cord and the engine fired one time then died, four pulls of the cord and it would do the same thing, fire one time then die, the on the fifth pull it stopped firing completely.
I double checked the engine to make sure every thing was set properly for starting. After ten minutes of pulling, checking all settings, and 20-30 pulls I quit and decided to let in rest because it was probably flooded by then. I tried to start it the next day, and it started on the 2nd pull. I proceeded to use it, then it died after about 3-4 minutes, just as the day before, and just like the day before, it would fire one time then die. The first 3 pulls it fired then died, then it stopped firing after the 4th pull, exactly like the day before.
I called Generac they refered me to a repair shop and they said it ran with no problems. I brought it home and used it two more times with no problems, and it has started doing the same thing. I spent over an hour with "tech support" and the lady who helped was really nice but I could see that she was frustrated, because, apparently, she couldn't find anyone to help her, she told me she hadn't been there very and was trying to get a superior to help.
She put me on hold for several minutes while she tried to find someone who could help, she said all of the superiors must be busy helping other, customer service can't be much worse. I am taking it back to the repair shop to give another chance. I will up date the status as things progress. I replaced a power washer that was over 15 years old that was just worn out that was a great piece of equipment. I purchased this one in March, it ran fine for the first four times that I used it, starts easy, ran great, etc., burned 2.5 tanks of gas, no problems.
In early April I set it up to wash the house and it started on the 2nd pull. I proceeded to use it, then suddenly,after 3-4 minutes of running the engine shut off as if it had run out of gas (I had just filled the tank up with non... more
Mike Does Not Recommend This Product Product Expert Mike, The only suggestion I have is to loosen the gas cap if the engine is acting as if it's starved for fuel. Sometimes debris will block the vent in the cap, so a vacuum forms in the gas tank preventing the fuel from flowing.
Intermittent issues are tough to diagnose- hopefully the repair shop will be able to track down the problem. I didn't find a record of your purchase from us, so I'm sorry; I'm not allowed to ask our Generac rep to step in. You may want to check with the place you purchased your unit if you need additional help. more Was this review helpful? 12 0 |

Works Great But Ohh The Plastic Wand Holder!
This pressure washer did the job as expected. Started on first pull after being received.
Well put together except for the plastic curly thing that acts as a resting place for the wand. That snapped in half before firing up the unit. I tapped the wand with my foot to end the life of the plastic wand holder.
Has 2 oil dipsticks that I haven't figured out yet. There is also a black plastic nipple on the pump that is not described.
Steve Recommends This Generac Product Product Expert Steve, Page 4 of the Owner's Manual shows Figure 2-4 where the siphon tube needs to be connected to the barb on the pump- if you remove the black plastic nipple, that sounds like what you're describing.
Also on page 4 under Figure 2-5 it says "Note: some units have more than one oil fill location. It is only necessary to use one oil fill point."
If you didn't get an Owner's Manual, you can download a PDF version from our web site. It's under the Specs tab for this unit on the right-hand side.
I'm sorry to hear the wand holder broke- you may want to give the folks at Generac a call, toll free, at 888-436-3722 to see if they'll send you a replacement under warranty. Please have the serial number of your unit handy when you call them, and please do it soon- plastic pieces are usually only warranted for 30 days or so. more  Brand Rep Steve, Thank you for providing us with your review. We're sorry to learn of the damage incurred to your unit.

Good But Much Room To Improve
The good:
It's quiet compared to a Honda powered PW I used last year.
It started but not as easy as the Honda engine.
It's light. This was very important to me and a top reason why I picked this model
It's fuel efficient.
Washes good.
Great price!
The not so good:
The starting instructions are poor. Hard to see the tell the gas from the choke levers.
Not well made. The whole unit is flimsy. The wheels wobble and the handle is not solid.
The plastic piece that holds the gun broke first time I used it.
The soap dispenser is not reliable. Sometimes it takes the soap, sometimes it doesn't. The good:

I'm Glad I Bought It
It arrived a day later than scheduled. The carton was damaged, but there was no damage to the unit. I put in the recommended 20 oz of oil, which was 6 oz too much. There must of been some left from the factory so I drained some out.
It started right up and ran great. I pressure washed my front walkway for painting and then washed my concrete pool deck. It did a great job and runs well. It has been starting on the first or second pull every time, even when running out of gas.

Great Machine
Super fast delivery. Assembles easily. Quick start. Great power.
The only downfall is that it takes about 30 minutes to get the air out of the system the first time. In the directions nothing stated to this situation causing you to think the machine is defective.
Pros: Price, Easy To Use, I'd Buy It Again, Exceeded Expectations Cons: Bad Instructions, See Above Steve Recommends This Generac Product Product Expert Steve, Step 6 on Page 8 of the Owner's Manual says to "relieve spray gun pressure" before it says to pull the starter cord.
A better explanation of that would be to hook up the water and, before trying to start the engine, pull the spray gun trigger and let the water run for a minute or two to drive out all the air in the pump. This will allow the engine to turn over more easily.
Since the pump and the engine are directly connected, doing this each time you wish to start the pressure washer will save you a lot of effort. more Was this review helpful? 7 1 |

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

Easy To Assemble
Just want to let the ladies ordering this that it is hard to start. In fact I have never been able to start it. Will need to wait for a male neighbor to get it running.
Pros: Can't Evaluate Until I Can Use It Marlene Does Not Recommend This Product Product Expert Marlene, I'm sorry you're having problems starting your pressure washer. The steps to starting this unit are on pages 7 and 8 of your Owner's Manual, but the very important Step #5 is glossed over as "Relieve spray gun pressure" without saying how to do that.
It will be very helpful for you to squeeze the spray gun trigger and let water run through the system BEFORE you try to start the engine, every time you try to start the unit.
This drives all the air out of the pump, and will allow the engine to turn over much more easily since the pump and engine are directly connected.

A Nice Unit
Yea, the wand holder could be better; yea, it could have a gas gauge on the tank- but this thing runs great and has no vibration, has hard wheels so no flats and it has a fixed soap tank which you can zip tie the hose along the frame to where it's got to go so there is no problem with it hitting the exhaust.
Great washer for home use- get yourself one.

Works As Expected
I purchased this product mainly because of the Generac name. I own a portable Generac generator and found it to be a quality product.
Yes I have used it and it works great. If I have one beef it's the price. It went down $10.00 a week later! I did compare prices and Power Equipment Direct was the cheapest by $10.00 at that time.
Donald Recommends This Generac Product Product Expert Donald, We post the best price we can, every day. Promo prices are sponsored by the manufacturer and cover a specific time span. If your order hasn't shipped yet we can apply the promo price, but if it has shipped before or after the promo dates usually the manufacturer won't cover it.

Great For Home Use
For the money this is a very good machine. I had a Ryobi with the Honda idle down engine and hated the idle down feature.
This easily does your driveway, patio, window screens, gutters, etc. The only thing I don't care for is the clumsy way they have the soap hose going into the cap of the dispenser. I feel sure at some point the hose will melt when coming in contact with a hot engine part.

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.

Bent Axle & Bent Wheels
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?

Good First Impresstion. . . But
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.
Pros: Price, Light Weight, Quiet, Features Cons: Unreliable, Durability Tom Does Not Recommend This Product Product Expert Tom, Since the engine and pump are directly connected, you need to drive the air out of the pump by squeezing the spray gun trigger and letting the water run for a bit each time before you try to start the engine (it's called vapor lock, and it can make the engine seem jammed).
The Owner's Manual covers this on page 8, but they don't really explain why it's important. I hope this saves you a trip to the Service Center. We appreciate your business, and apologize for any inconvenience. more Was this review helpful? 2 0 |

Make Sure The Nozzles Are Seated!
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.

Does Not Start
I put the unit together properly according to Generac customer service. The pull cord was very hard to pull. After a number of pulls the unit wouldn't start. I tried all sorts of choke configurations, first following the owner's manual, A professional mechanic who is a neighbor, also tried to start it.
Too bad a brand new unit won't start. Now I have to take it to a service center to see what's wrong with it.
Anthony Does Not Recommend This Product Product Expert Anthony, I am so sorry you're having issues with your new pressure washer- it sounds like you tried everything you could. We sell a lot of these and don't see many with problems- but I realize that doesn't give you much comfort when the problems are yours.
The one thing that caught my eye was the pull cord being hard to pull. Since the motor and the pump are directly connected, each time before you try to start the unit you need to squeeze the trigger gun and let water run through the unit for a minute or two. This drives out any air in the pump and prevents vapor lock from jamming the pump and motor. The manual covers it as "relieve spray gun pressure" but doesn't really say why- and it's easy to forget in the heat of the moment.

Amazing Job
Bought in May, but with other projects didn't use until Labor Day Weekend. I never used one before, but the job it did was amazing.
I purchased the Simpson 3.0 Turbo nozzle along with it and it can get very aggressive if you get too close to the work. It also will take off 3 layers of skin.
Richard Recommends This Generac Product Product Expert Richard, That's why every pressure washer Owner's Manual will tell you not to point the spray at anything living (pages 2, 8, and 11 in your edition, also available online).

Tara Does Not Recommend This Product Product Expert Tara, I'm sorry you're having trouble with your pressure washer. Most folks will check to see if Warranty Service is available in their area when making a major purchase; just in case Factory Warranty Service is needed during the 2 year Factory Warranty that comes with this unit.
As we explain in the Return Policy link at the bottom of every page on our website, there are Federal Regulations that don't allow the re-shipment of an engine that has been gassed because it's a fire/explosion hazard. That's why we only sell items with a national warranty service network to support them. Your local bricks-and-mortar store has to follow this policy as well, unless they have a repair technician on-site (some do, some don't- it's a good idea to check first).
There are troubleshooting tips on the last page of your Owner's Manual; and we would have also suggested that you squeeze the spray gun trigger and let water run through the unit before you try to start it. This drives all the air out of the pump and allows the engine to turn over.
If you feel you aren't being treated fairly by the repair facility, you can contact Generac's After Sales Support Team at 'retailcustomersupport@generac.com' with the name & number of the shop- they will make sure you are receiving the attention you deserve. You aren't out hundreds of dollars; if the After Sales folks can't resolve your issues just let us know and we'll escalate your situation to our Generac rep.
We appreciate your business, and apologize for any inconvenience. more  Brand Rep Tara, If your issues persist after you are able to squeeze the trigger to release water pressure prior to attempting startup, please contact us directly at 888-GENERAC (436-3722) so that we can explore troubleshooting and servicing options for the issues that you are currently experiencing. We hope that this recommendation provides an applicable remedy and look forward to providing further assistance in the event that it does not. more Was this review helpful? 3 1 |

Keep Away From This Unit
I have purchased three Generac pressure washers in the last 6 years! The first two pumps died in under three years. Fortunately, so I thought, I purchased a warranty for the second unit. After fighting with the warranty company for two months I was shipped the 2800PSI unit.
Guess what, it doesn't work out of the box! Smokes, leaks oil and runs rough. I was told by Generac to bring it to an Authorized Dealer. I was told if the carb is bad it is my responsibility!! So much for the Generac warranty. Generac produces pure crap pressure washers.
By the way I use non ethanol fuel, drain the tanks after each use, replace the oil after 5-10 hours of use and spray the pump after each use. I take care of my equipment.

Great Pressure Washer
My old pressure washer died after years of use. I came across this unit while surfing the net and decided to purchase one. This machine is fantastic! For the money you can't beat it.

Overall A Good Machine
I have used this pressure washer a number of times now. My experience is mostly positive. Here are my impressions:
Pros: Large gas tank for long run time, comfortable spray wand, easy hose hook up in the back, easy starting, powerful, good value for the money
Cons: Awkward to start with no convenient place for your foot, detergent hose needs a lot of repositioning to stay in the fluid, flimsy wand holder
The pros outweigh the cons so I recommend this washer.

Very Pleased
Ordered on Wednesday morning, and got my machine on Friday. The washer assembled easily, and works like a champ. The gun holder is kind of flimsy, but could easily be fixed with a bolt instead of those plastic plugs.
The washer is great, and shipped and arrived very fast. My only regret was that I didn't wait two more days to order it, because it went on sale the day it arrived at my house, Still kicking myself for that one haha.
Pros: Price, Easy To Use, Light Weight, Easy To Store Greg Recommends This Generac Product Product Expert Greg, When we run a promotional price it's usually underwritten by the manufacturer to cover orders in a specific period of time. If your order hasn't been shipped yet we can usually get it included in the special pricing, but once your order ships we aren't allowed to back-date them and get them included.
We appreciate your business, and I'm so sorry for any disappointment! more Was this review helpful? 2 0 |

Just What The Doctor Ordered!
Had an electric washer, but there is no comparison. Only have about 3 hours use on this Genaric, but I am blown away on how much better it cleans vinyl siding and paving bricks.
Starts after one or two pulls and was a breeze putting together out of the box.
Excellent pressure washer and at a reasonable price.

Thumbs Up!
My new pressure washer shows a lot of promise. I have washed a few cars so far w/the white tip and black soap tip. Both have performed well, remember this is a cold water washer so right off the bat you will not get the same results as at the pay car wash.
My machine is especially good for mud build up in wheel wells, behind tires and other areas along below doors. I have noticed a quick wipe down with a damp towel after a wash does wonders on the finished look.
Motor is easy start. So far the pressure hose needs to be laid out proper before starting engine as it is extremely stiff otherwise.

Follow Up On My Last Review
Well I finally got in touch with a rep at generac and he told me to pull the spark plug out and pull the recoil. With doing so the motor spun. Just to remind you I have maybe 10 hrs. Use on this machine.. The rep told me that the valves need to be adjusted and it's not covered under warranty because it is considered maintenance. How and why after only 10 or less hrs. On a brand ne,w machine would I even have to do maintenance like that??
I have owned some real cheap pressure washers before that lasted years before any type of real maintenance had to be done. I guess you get what you pay for because even Generac won't stand by this machine to help me out when there should not have a serious maintenance problem with such little use on a brand new machine!!

The Frame Is Flimsy
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.

Happy Ending
I purchased this power washer in August and found it easy to assemble and use. Initially had trouble with engine shutting down after a period of use and contacted Power Washers Direct.
Brian Teitelbaum responded suggesting that a vacuum was forming inside the gas tank and thus starving the engine of fuel. He supplied me with a phone number and recommended a call to Generac, which I did.
About a week later I received the new gas cap, installed it and the problem was rectified. Satisfied customer! I purchased this power washer in August and found it easy to assemble and use. Initially had trouble with engine shutting down after a period of use and contacted Power Washers Direct.

Works Great After You Get It Started
This pressure washer has plenty of power to clean anything I have used it on. The only problem is getting it started. I have only had the unit for a month and used it four times, but each time I have to use starter fluid to get the motor running.
I'm hoping it will get better with a little more breaking in but as of now starting it up is a real hassle.
William Does Not Recommend This Product Product Expert William, You might find it easier to start if, before starting the engine, you squeeze the spray gun trigger and let the water run for a minute or two. This drives all the air out of the pump preventing vapor lock, and since the pump and the engine are directly connected the engine will turn over easier if the pump isn't locked up.
If that doesn't help you may want to give the folks at Generac a call at 888-436-3722 for more tips and/or Factory Warranty service in your area. Please have the serial number of your unit handy when you call them.

Starts First Time
I have never purchased a Generac product before. When I took it out of the box I noticed it had a good build quality unlike B & S engines. I put gas in it, pulled the starter- it started first time.
When I ran out of gas I filled it up again. First pull and it started. The engine was smooth- no misses just steady running. The pressure was good also.
The only thing I did not like was the holder for the wand should have more holding power.

First Pressure Washer
Out of the box impressions: It was easy to assemble although I had to go on the internet to find out where the soap dispenser tube should be attached. That should have been in the directions.
There are two places where you can check the oil but both appear problematic as they are close to being horizontal. Maybe it is only me but I'm having a hard time obtaining an accurate oil level.
Most disappointing initial aspect of the out out of box experience is the flimsy wand holder. Appears to be built to fail and does a less than satisfactory job of keeping the wand in one place.
Nice tight seal from the hose to washer, no leaks. Engine started easily. It is loud in my opinion. Power was adequate to clean off the drive and make the wheels on the truck sparkle.
I selected that I would recommend this unit to a friend but this is only because of my inexperience at this juncture.

Jury Is Still Out
Have not used yet but did start once and was very hard starting.
Joe Recommends This Generac Product Product Expert Joe, Since the engine and the pump are connected directly, it's important to purge the air from the pump before starting the engine- this is covered on Page 6 of the Owner's Manual.
Before starting the unit, turn the water on and squeeze the spray gun trigger to let the water run for a minute or two. This drives all the air out of the pump, preventing vapor lock.
Then try starting the engine- it should turn over much easier. Please make sure you are using fresh gasoline for the best results. more Was this review helpful? 2 1 |

Didn't Last 5 Uses!!
I just purchased a home so while paperwork was being done on the sale I purchased this pressure washer to clean the house up. Well it worked great, started right up with no problems.
Since then I've used it twice to do the driveway, and once to do my boat. Everything has been great. Last use was just over the weekend and I pressure washed my wife's grandparent's home for them because they are selling it. It's now Friday and I needed to wash the driveway again because I just reroofed my home. Put everything together turn water on and go to pull and I get 2" and I thought I was going to dislocate my shoulder... the pull rope won't go past 2". It feels like if the motor locked up or something for no apparent reason.
All oil levels read perfect and oil color is still brand new looking.. Now I have to find out what the warranty is on this unit because I can't find anything about it anywhere!!

Before you start the engine, squeeze the trigger gun and let the water run for a minute or two. This drives all the air out of the pump, preventing vapor lock.
Then try pull-starting the engine. Since the engine and pump are directly connected, vapor lock in the pump will keep the engine from turning over. This is covered on Page 6 of your Owner's Manual and should be done each time before you pull the rope. You may also want to walk through the

Started Once Then Needed Repair
This started once... then never started again. It needed repair and it wasn't covered by the warranty because they claimed it got tipped over. It was never tipped over, but it does have a bad design that would make it non functional if tipped.
It started once again..And never started again after that. This was a piece of crap from the start. The repair person told me that they had 3 of them in for repair for the same design flaw in the past week. Plus the solution tube melted coming in contact with the motor...Just overall poorly designed. You don't want to purchase this. This started once... then never started again.

Best Pressure Washer For The Price
This is an awesome product. Having the soap container is excellent. Comes w 4 tips & they have a holder on machine.
This paired w the Generac surface cleaner, makes the job so much easier. Would definitely recommend all homeowners have one of these for maintenance.

Great Value & Works Great
First of all I followed the assembly instructions. It went together rather easily.
Filled it with gas, opened the gas shutoff valve, waited a few minutes, put on the choke, turned on the water source and then pulled the starter cord. It started with the first pull.

Pros: Easy To Use, High Quality, Durable, Fast Cons: None yet Thomas Recommends This Generac Product Product Expert Thomas, When starting any (non-belt drive) pressure washer it's a good idea to squeeze the spray gun trigger and let the water run for a minute or two before trying to turn the engine over. This drives all the air out of the pump and makes it easier to start the engine.
You should do this every time you're going to start the engine, not just the first time of the day.

Worked Well, Kept All The Male Visitors Occupied. New Toy!
I didn't get to use it as all the guys brought cars and trucks. If the time they spent out there is any sign of a good product this washer's rating is off the charts They did do some scrubbing on wheels,etc. but that maybe is expected. Overall, the remarks were positive.
For myself, I was pleased with the storage for tips and hose,and ease of fill with mounted detergent vessel. Washed one pickup, four cars, two tractors, one lawnmower.
Did notice for anyone not wanting to get wet while a spectator, you can stand where the spray won't hit you, but be aware that it creates a sizeable mist cloud which you don't notice until you realize you are wet!

Great Pressure Washer For The Price Point
The machine is excellent. The nozzles it comes with are perfect (I use it for my house/siding, concrete and vehicle undercarriages). I am very pleased.
The only nit pick I can make with it is that the engine requires a choke start and several pulls even when the unit is warmed up and that has stayed consistent from the first day until now.
I would buy the unit again even with that minor issue.

So Far So Good!!
This machine is a HUGE step up from my electric pressure washer. I have only used this machine a few times but it should be able to handle any task around the house. It easily removed brake dust from my car, the leaf stains from my concrete and dirt from my siding.
It does a good job for a fair price. It is too soon to comment on its build quality but so far it has been flawless. A few options which are probably on more expensive machines would make this machine perfect. The detergent pick up tube has no permanent place to mount it. I used cable ties to attach it to the frame. No big deal.
The detergent container has no drain plug to wash out the remaining soap or whatever you use. This is a big deal in terms of convenience. One other thing is every time you pull the trigger on the wand the entire machine moves slightly from the kicking action of the pressure. Keep it away from your car!! That's it.

Wow!! Better Than Expected!! Great Value!!
I've had a couple of power washers in my day for when I was racing bikes. It's been a while since I've owned one, but decided to pull the trigger so I could have one around the house.
Set up tool about 15 minutes with the exception of pouring too much oil in so I had to suck some out. Once I got gas in it, took just a couple pulls to get it fired up. This thing has POWER!! For 2800psi this thing can do just about anything.
I primarily use it to wash my car, but I've also used it for siding on my house as well as cleaning a couple spots on the driveway. For the money I think I stole this haha and not to mention shipping was fast and free!
If you're in debate of spending $150 on a used one... don't. You will appreciate this a lot more and it will last you a lot longer too! Thank you for the great product!!

Received my power washer two days after I ordered it. Took it out of the box and set it up. It would not run longer then 1 to 2 min. After the third try it started then blew.
It has been in repair for two or more weeks. Sorry I bought this product. I understand a new motor is on its way soon. So I bought a used or rebuilt power washer.

Horrible Oil Fill Routine & Oil Level Indicator
First of all, my experience with PWD was fantastic. Got the machine within 2 days of placing my order.
Here is my review, which I also posted as a 1 Star review on Amazon, based on only one feature disappointment.
Got this to power wash my 2 story home, prior to painting. I also purchased a 7' extension wand to reach the upper eaves, while standing on a short ladder. That worked well, however I would not recommend an extension of this length, because its length caused it to bow a bit too much in order to maintain control of the tip's position. I would instead, go with no more than a 5' extension.
I preface my review by saying I would have given this 4 to 5 Stars for its overall performance, but Generac's design and engineering should include intelligent consideration of every functional aspect of their product, with anticipation of what a user has to do, in order to use it properly. Generac fails miserably on its utility, related to adding oil and maintaining a "machine safe" level of oil in the unit.
The only way people can be forewarned about a potential aggravation, is to put your review in the most likely "to be read" category, which is 1 Star ratings. I know that those are the first ratings I read in any review, when trying to find real weaknesses in a product, since I don't want to make a bad purchasing decision. leading to buyer's remorse. So, I am venting about this very basic element, before I share what are the positives for a pretty darned good power washer for home use.
My biggest gripe, which is a huge aggravation, for which I deducted 4 Stars is the absolutely ignorant oil fill port and its "fill level" indicator. There are ports on both the right and left side at the base of the engine, through which you add oil and check the oil level (using only one or the other, per your preference). First of all, it is almost impossible to tell what the oil level is on the dipstick since the damned thing sits almost horizontal, going into the threaded oil port, which is also at the same shallow angle. When first adding oil to the unit, I kept pouring it in through a ridiculous paper funnel that they send with the machine, and which barely fits into the mouth of the oil port and which also has to be almost horizontal to do so (is Generac familiar with the laws of gravity).
It doesn't help that you can barely discern the oil level, due to the lightness (color) of the oil. Forget about the stupid and useless dipstick, since the oil port at such a shallow horizontal angle, causes oil to coat the dipstick at such an extremely shallow slope, that the machine is filled to maximum by the time it reaches only the very tip of the dipstick (and not at any of the traditional incremental "fill point" markings which are also existent on this dipstick).
The threads are the only way to visually assess where the oil level is. It would have been nice if Generac had the courtesy and foresight to advise you that the initial oil fill should not exceed a specific number of ounces (plain and simple). Instead, they leave it to experimentation, in which, by trial and error, you are not supposed to fill it beyond the point at which oil touches the bottom-most female threads in the interior of the filling port (which is at only about 20 degrees from being level).
Generac includes a 20 oz. bottle of oil to get you started. And I ended up using the entire bottle, waiting for the oil level to reach the threads as indicated in the manual. Being puzzled by that I finally discovered that I had ended up overfilling it substantially, when I realized my machine was sitting on my slightly sloped driveway, with the slope of the machine being such that the port which I used, was on the high side of the slope. It is that sensitive to level ground, in order to be accurate.
So here is the totally absurd and ridiculous part...I had to get out a carpenter's level to find a level place on my sidewalk to move the machine to, in order to properly assess the oil fill level. I placed a sheet pan underneath the machine, in case oil came out, after moving it to that location and removing the plug. Surprise, surprise. A considerable amount of oil ended up in the sheet pan and I also had to tip the machine onto its edge to drain quite a bit more oil, before it finally receded to the point at which the manual said it should not be overfilled (just touching the threads located towards the inside of the thread cavity). OK....SO that is what you need to be aware of, "out of the box".
Use of the machine. Overall a very good experience. I carefully read all instructions and followed them step by step, which were pretty straight forward and easy to perform. The first thing you do is to measure the gallons per minute that your faucet puts out, to insure it is adequate for the machine to function as designed, which I did by running water straight from the faucet into a gallon container, and timing its fill speed. Most homes have sufficient water flow to achieve what is recommended in the instruction manual, which as I recall was 2 gpm.
And most importantly, as instructed, you hook up both hoses and you must run water through the machine and the wand (without a tip inserted) BEFORE you start the engine, in order to bleed air from your garden hose and the pressure chamber in the machine. If you don't it is very difficult to "fire" the engine due to back pressure "air lock". I did as instructed, then inserted my pressure tip. Engaged the choke. Turned the engine switch to on and the throttle switch to full open and gave the cord two pulls and it fired immediately. Once it fires, you disengage the choke And every subsequent "start up", while power washing my house, was achieved with only one or two pulls of the cord. Very reliable for me on that count.
I used the 20 degree tip for blasting dirt off of the siding, which did a great job. It does blow of some loose paint chips, if held within a couple inches of the tip, so you need to be vigilant if it starts doing more than that. But at 4 inches away, there is no risk of inadvertent removal. The handle is very comfortable for long periods of non stop use and is shaped in a way that you can very comfortably hold it with both hands (much like the ergonomic position that a police officer takes with both hands on a gun when aiming).
I also tested the 20 degree tip on a dirty sidewalk, at a distance of about 4 inches and was able to blast it clean in about a 2" to 3" wide swath. Knowing that I might use this on my driveway and deck, I elected to purchase the 14" round accessory that does wide swath cleaning and which I found to be extremely fast for large areas, versus being able to only blast about 3" sweeps, back and forth. I highly recommend this accessory.
I have seen quite a few complaints about the plastic cradle on the side of the machine being too flimsy to cradle the wand when in storage. I do not agree with them. The cradle is strong enough to do what its supposed to do, if you take simple care with how you use it. There is a pressure hose hook on the back side of the machine, just behind the plate where the tips are stored, which is perfectly situated and designed to hold the coiled hose when not in use. The machine could have been a bit better if Generac had a foot plate at the front to stabilize the machine for cord pulling. As it is, I simply rest my foot on the front of the detergent tank to do so.
The gas tank is very easy to fill, with a generously wide and deep throat, which includes a micro filter screen to insure contaminants or bugs do not enter the tank itself. The tank holds about a gallon of gas and I used it for several hours, nonstop, before it ran out. I really like the fact the the very large gas cap (size well suited for filling the palm of your hand for comfort), has a chain on it which prevents getting away, or falling to the ground.
I can't speak to the use of the detergent tank, since I have not had the occasion to use it. I suspect it is functionally suitable for washing cars, but don't know from actual use.
The 25 foot pressure hose is adequate to maneuver as needed for a fairly generous work area, but I caution that it is a bit stiff, so it is best to uncoil it and walk it all the way out from the machine to straighten it (turning the end to uncoil it from its coiled "memory" state), before you fire up the machine and put pressure on it. That way you won't be fighting it wanting to twist on you.
I definitely encourage the purchase of this machine, since I found it to be very good, and the fact that this one had the highest number of positive versus negative reviews (relating to other brands) on multiple websites. But gave it only 1 Star (on Amazon) so that readers would be aware of the oil fill aggravation. If I had given it any other star rating, you probably would not have bothered to read it, buried within all the other ratings. First of all, my experience with PWD was fantastic. Got the machine within 2 days of placing my order.

I found the website on a simple Google search for power washer. I was a little skeptical when looking at the operating parameters and the price. I have owned other professional pressure washers before and they were much more expensive but I do like the Generac Brand.
I received the unit on time and after filling with oil and gas it started with 1 pull. I was extremely happy!! After 2 runs it developed a gas leak which I tightened the 2 bolts on the carb and took care of that.

Leaking Gas
I buy one new Pressure Washer form this site. When my first use I saw gas is leaking. I tried to exchange the item but they told me no returning. They gave me service center address. I given for repairing . The service center people told me to buy some parts for that item.
If I order new item why should I buy again parts for that ? Its more than 25 days now. So far I did not receive my pressure washer or my money.
Pros: I'd Buy It Again, No Good Cons: Never Buy This I Benny Does Not Recommend This Product Product Expert Benny, As we explained to you during our phone conversations, it is against Federal Regulations to re-ship an engine that has been gassed up- it is a fire/explosion hazard.

Just Right
I run a kennel, raising hunting dogs. My old pressure washer gave up after 25 years, a good unit but overpowered for what I used it for to clean the kennel floors.
The Generac 2800 PSI was just what I was looking for in a replacement washer. It is light, easy to start, and does an outstanding job on the floors, off road vehicles and the right price.

As Expected
I finally used my new Generac PW. After Hurricane Matthew came by, my house was covered in debris, stuck to the siding etc... I cleaned the whole house, including the wrap around porch.
It ran for probably 6 hours straight, cranked on third pull and performed as I had expected. I will admit that it took some doing to find and put in the quick connections in order to add a length of hose for ease while on my porch roof (to keep from moving the PW every few minutes), but determination prevailed!
My one wish is that there was a rotating brush for use on the painted porch. I am afraid to use my high pressure rotating attachment as it might strip the paint. Guess I'll have to try on a side porch to see if it is safe on the wrap around section.

Bob Recommends This Generac Product Product Expert Bob, Generac has a Water Broom accessory that might work for your porch- but it depends on the condition of the paint. You would still need to test it someplace inconspicuous to be on the safe side. more Bob's Experience With Pressure Washers Direct "PW arrived timely and was easy to put together. Called for assistance for quick connectors. Based on what I needed, the representative suggested I go to a local big box or Ace to get the parts, as what they offered would be a lot more expensive than shopping local.
I VERY MUCH appreciated his honesty and the fact he was looking out for his customer." more Was this review helpful? 0 0 |

Very Pleased
The power washer was easy to set up. I've used it twice and it did a great job and was easy to start.
I've read the manual and some what confused on winterizing it. Any helpful hints you can give me would be appreciated.
William Recommends This Generac Product Product Expert William, Here's a How To Winterize Your Pressure Washer video that you may find helpful.
One thing that will harm a pressure washer pump is water freezing in it over the winter. Using a Pump Saver product will exclude any water droplets from your seals and help keep them lubricated and flexible. It attaches where the garden hose goes, and the can stays on over the winter. If you can store the pressure washer someplace it won't freeze that is a good thing.
Winterizing a gas engine is pretty easy- drain all the gas out of it or run it dry; or add a Fuel Stabilizer to your gas tank to keep the gas from separating into water and varnish. Some folks will use fuel stabilizer in their tanks all year long to keep their gas fresh and so they don't have to worry about remembering to add it during the last use. more Was this review helpful? 0 0 |

Great Machine
Got my washer at last, believe it or not. The first time I did not have to use a ladder, cut my work in half.
Even after using one time I would buy another. The red spray nozzle went bad after washing my house. I got on the phone that day and in two days UPS brought me a whole bag of new ones from Generac- a very fast response. I was amazed how fast I got it.
Great, great product.

Pw Direct Are Really Good To Deal With
I ordered the unit on a Friday. Over the weekend, I checked to see if it had shipped. Much to my surprise, they had a Saturday and Sunday only sale marking the unit down from $300 to $255. I called on Monday to see if they would honor that price. Since it hadn't shipped, they gave me the sale price by cancelling the original order, and resubmitting at the sale price. I will deal with them as much as possible.
It works as described, though I was surprised that I could hold my hand in front of it with the black soap nozzle attached. Even though it's designed to dispense soap, I would have thought it would still be a very strong spray. I used the white nozzle to then clean the moss of the house.
Cleaned some concrete and heavily mossed pavers that have been a grayish green so long I forgot their original color. Overall it worked great. I have two complaints. One is the "holster" for the sprayer. There is no way to secure the bottom end of the sprayer so it flops around when moving the unit. I burned the rubber handle a bit on the engine.
I have since used a round conduit hanger around the frame tube with a block of wood screwed into it and a forked rubber coated broom hook to resolve the issue.
The second is there is no drain for the soap container. I will be correcting that myself with a Coleman cooler replacement drain plug. I ordered the unit on a Friday.

Cons: Mentioned In The Review Mark Recommends This Generac Product Product Expert Mark, Soap is applied at low pressure so it doesn't get driven into the surface, making it hard to rinse off. Pressure washer-safe detergent breaks the bond between grime and the surface so the powerful rinse can flush it away. Please make sure your detergent is thin like water so it will spray effectively; if it's thick like dish detergent it won't siphon well.
If you need more foam or more powerful soap application you may want to consider a Foamer.
I believe the soap container on this unit can be removed so it's easier to rinse out. Please make sure to run fresh water through the soap siphon after you use it to keep it from getting blocked up. more Was this review helpful? 0 0 |

Nice Washer
Seems powerful enough but could be even more so to reach second story. It cleans mostly with the power of the spray---the soap does almost nothing.
Nice washer though, not too large, good instructions. Would not clean the mildew off the siding on the second floor from the ground. Not sure what the best solution is. I have an extension but it is heavy to manuver.
Dan Recommends This Generac Product Product Expert Dan, Pressure washer-safe detergents will loosen the bond between grime and siding so the spray can wash it away, but it has to be mild enough that it won't damage the seals in your pressure washer pump. That means it won't be very effective on green mold and mildew.
To use more aggressive chemicals you need to introduce them to the water stream after your pump. You may want to think about a Foamer that will also increase the range of the spray.
Please use care when using mildew-killers (bleach, TSP, Jomax, etc.) in a spray. Protect your skin & eyes, make sure you don't breath it in, give your landscaping a good watering and shield anything close by- especially if there's a breeze. more Was this review helpful? 0 0 |

Amazing!
I love my Generac pressure washer. It is so easy to start and change the nozzle heads. I highly recommend this for females. It starts like a charm!
Watch the pressure hose. The hose somehow ended up against the engine muffler. I was losing water pressure and when I looked over, there was smoke. The hose had a hole in it and it was burning. I had to purchase a new pressure hose. The engine wasn't damaged, thank goodness.

Generac 2800 First Use
Great performance after my first time use. (a 6-7 hour continuous)
Only disappointment for me was the wand holder that attaches to the frame. It is made of some type of rubberized plastic material and is attached to the frame with push pins made of a similar material. That make the wand holder a bit flimsy.
Everything else is as advertised.

Outstanding Performance
I was a bit reluctant to purchase a pressure washer on line. But after doing some research, not only on the pressure washer (Generac Model #6922) but also on Pressure Washer Direct. I was very satisfied with the results I found out about both.
I followed the instructions to the letter in assembling and starting the washer for the first time. The washer started right up and it performed outstandingly. The only thing I don't like is the nozzle/handle holder. Its a bit flimsy.
Generac got one of the highest ratings of all pressure washers. When I get ready to use it again and it starts right up, I will be a very happy camper. So far so good.

Powerful & Easy To Use
I have only used the pressure washer once so far. It did the job very well and the interchageable tips were easy to use.
One issue which I need to follow up on the next time I use it is this. After using it for about two hours I shut down and let it cool off. Later I could not get it to restart. After several tries there was a backfire which I think might mean I have to clean the spark plug. I will do this the next time I use it.
Robert Recommends This Generac Product Product Expert Robert, If the engine is still warm you probably won't need to keep the choke in the On position to start the engine. Cleaning the plug won't hurt, either.
Since the pump and engine are directly connected, you will also need to squeeze the spray trigger & let the water run for a minute or two before you try to start the engine, every time you try to start the engine. This drives all the air out of the pump and makes it much easier for the engine to turn over. more Was this review helpful? 0 0 |

I ordered the Generac 2800 PSI pressure washer a few weeks ago. It arrived within a few days of the purchase. The assembly/setup was very straight forward and only took a few minutes.
After putting in the oil supplied with the purchase, and proper octane gas, the unit started up after only a few pulls on the starter rope.
So far I have used the unit to wash cars, clean the concrete driveway, and remove spider webs from the eves of the house. I am very satisfied with the performance of the unit.

Steven Does Not Recommend This Product Product Expert Steven, I am so sorry you've run into an issue with your pressure washer. Last season we heard about Generac gas caps that had the vent hole blocked. As gasoline was used a vacuum would form, starving the engine. If you take your gas cap off and the engine runs fine, that's your problem- and a quick call to Generac at 888-436-3722 will get a new gas cap shipped out to you. (Be sure to have the serial number of your unit handy if you call Generac- they will ask for it.)
If that doesn't work, then you would need to take it to a Generac Factory Warranty location in your area since Federal Law won't allow an engine that's had gas in it to be re-shipped (it's an explosion/fire hazard). Their Pressure Washer Service Locator shows 3 within 20 miles of your zip code, so you may want to call them first to see who has the shortest turn-around time: Q's LANDSCAPE ENTERPRISES, INC 315-945-2888;
TWO GUYS SMALL ENGINE REPAIR 315-310-5293; R&D MOWER & SNOWBLOWER SALES & SERVICE 585-383-8075. If you give Generac a call they may have others in your area that haven't made it to their website yet.

Not Too Happy
I bought this a month ago and got it put together and tried it out by washing my deck and front of house and that power wash my garage out and it ran great.
Then the next time I got it out it started up and I started to wash some things before painting and it just quit tried to start if again and it did the same thing, for some reason it is not getting enough gas to keep running. Not sure why so its off to the repair shop.
Greg Does Not Recommend This Product Product Expert Greg, I'm sorry your pressure washer isn't starting easily. Taking it to a Warranty Repair location while it's still covered is a good idea. The only additional thought I can offer is that sometimes the breather vent in the gas cap will get blocked, so as gasoline is used it creates a vacuum and starves the engine.
Opening up the gas cap to break the vacuum may help restore the flow of gas, and calling Generac at 888-436-3722 would allow them to send you a replacement cap.

A Great Buy
I never owned a pressure washer before buying the Generac 2800 PSI model on-line. After receiving my 1st pressure washer, I noted that right out go hr box that the axle was slightly bent - a factory defect vs. a shipping damage issue - forcing one of its two wheels to not roll straight.
Normally, this would be a problem, but after immediately contacting Generac's (excellent) Customer Service Dept. in WI directly, they not only arranged to pick up the damaged unit for free, but to send me a new replacement pressure washer before receiving their return of the damaged one. Within 4 days after notifying Generac of my problem, they picked up the damaged unit and delivered a new model 2800 to my front door.

Not A Great Start
The box came on time delivered to the front on my garage. I picked up the box to move out my car and the bottom of the box opened. One strip of packing tape for 60#, really.
After assembly and oil addition I gassed it up and started it on the second pull. It ran for 30 seconds and would not re-start.
I followed the troubleshooting instructions and still it would not start. I called the help line and they just read me the troubleshooting guide a gave me the number for a dealer in my area.
I didn't want to give up that easily. Removed the gasoline, removed the screen, turned the unit up side down and shook. Out came some debris. Refilled with gasoline and started the unit.
Now it is doing the job I bought it for. If I had bought it locally, it would have been returned. I guess that is the chance I took buying it online.

The Best
I started out looking at pressure washers at the two major box stores and consider buying one of two models. When I told the sales rep. that I had thought about buying a Generac online, he replied not to waste my time buying the lower grade models. He replied that Generac was the best on the market.
I have used the Generac 6922 twice now and I am extremely impressed. I don't believe you can go wrong with this pressure washer.
