Generac 6922 pressure washer accessories Reviews & Ratings - Product Discontinued

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.

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.

You can't go wrong with this purchase!

We are so glad we purchased this pressure washer! It is very powerful! It gets the job done...FAST!!

Very good price,don't hesitate buying this pressure washer! Very easy to assemble.

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!!

Works awesome. Easy setup. No complaints- neighbors jealous.

Originally bought a Riobi 2800 but it did not have power! Took it back and got this one. Better price and more power.

Also, delivery was fast.

Worked great. Better than advertised.

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!

Unit worked great the first time I used it. Easy to assemble.

One thing to watch out for, when I installed the hose to the soap tank I put it too close to the exhaust and melted it.

Box came and within 5 minutes it was assembled.

Oil in the crank case and all. Put gas in as directed hooked up water hose and it fired up first pull.

Front side walk clean as it was new!

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.

Easy to put together out of box. The hose should be longer. Other than that it starts right up and does a good job.

Easy to start and easy to use.

I washed our very large deck off this spring. The PW made this so much easier.

Next I will use it with deck cleaner to prepare for stain.

Great product.

Love this pressure washer and the price was good.

The product is amazing. Cranks easily, Runs great, performs excellently. Also, I was amazed at how little gas it uses. Small tank but runs for hours.

Great experience.

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.

All in all, I'm happy with this unit.

So far has been a great product. Starts right up and have already used several times. Definitely happy with it so far.

Certainly a quality unit, that exceeded my expectations. Great for even the toughest residential cleaning.

Fast shipping. Easy to use for both wife and I.

Arrived in a timely manner, easy to assemble and works as advertised.

Would recommend this to anyone looking for a quality power washer at an excellent price.

It was delivered in record time. Easy to assemble and works like a charm. Great value.

I have used this pressure washer on 2 cars, my work van, and half of my garage front and never turned it off during any of the scrubbing and I can still see gas below the screen filter.

It runs strong and steady, a lot better then my Troy Built with the Briggs and Stratton engine ever was.

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. Online PDF manual extremely difficult to locate.

I'm very satisfied with the quantity and performance of this pressure washer.

Great product and great service.

So far I used the power washer to clean 24 pieces of aged teak furniture... it was fast work with the cleaning nozzle. 1 pass cleaned off the mold and the grey, leaving the furniture looking like new.

House siding and deck are next.

Right out of the box no problems- easy to start, easy to use!

Spent some time looking around for a good power washer......read the reviews and decided to take a chance ordering over the internet.......this was not only the best deal ever...the machine works like a charm!

It did a super job and after reading the reviews I went and bought the turbo sprayer and as everyone had written it does cut cut the cleaning time down and with this great machine did a wonderful job....we are so happy!

Works great.

Easy to get started. Worked like a charm on first weekend for multiple hours....also bought the disc and love that too.

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.

So far it has started on the second pull every time I have started it. The pressure is as advertised and has done a great job for all my needs so far.

This machine is well worth the price. I have had other pressure washers and this is the first to perform as advertised.

A good unit for the money, will do most things you need.

This pressure washer did all I expected and more. Lots of power, great versatility, starts on the first pull right out of the box.

For a "homewner" product, it truly rates at the top of its class. If you want to get the job done, and get it done right at a reasonable price from a great and responsive company, this one is for you.

Only used once so far but very pleased!

This was our first Generac purchase and it's performs as expected, being thorough yet gentle our our soft redwood.

A painting contractor for many years. Would not hesitate to use this as a backup to a professional machine. Can't imagine a homeowner needing anything more.

Easy to assemble. Well built. Easy to operate.

Good product. Easy to assemble and started on first try.

Before the Generac washer we had a Sears. We really like the Generac, easy to start, & has a lot of power. Glad we switched.

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!!

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 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.

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.

By in large the instructions are very good especially assembly, but under (operation) it is not totally clear what the position of the choke should be at start up.

Starting was a tad bit difficult at first but now fine.

Only used it once but it did a nice job. Starting for the first time took a little bit.

Very noisy

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!

So far it performed well.

Did what it is supposed to do. Most time it started on the first pull. Happy with the purchase.

Pressure washer works great. Starts really easy every time.

The frame itself is my only complaint. Rivets instead of bolts hold it together. They are now loose. Let's see how long it lasts before I drill them out and put in quality bolts.

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.

I have used this washer for car and driveway so far. Starts easily and does as expected.

I wish the reservoir had a drain plug. Just flushing doesn't work very well.

I initially got it to pressure wash my home, but it works so good I was able to pressure wash 2 driveways and made my money right back on it.

This is a very good washer for home use, I don't believe that it would hold up for commercial use because of the frame.

It also has a water leak from the output side that had to be repaired, this leak was evident as soon as I took the washer out of the shipping container. Once the leak was repaired the unit has worked extremely well, happy with washer and would recommend it.

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.

It is a beast of a machine for a good price and a few more features would make it perfect. Too soon to comment on longevity.

Easy assembly. Manual is easy to read and follow.

Does not provide the amount of pressure I was expecting, but it does the job.

Use for cleaning siding, boat, cars and concrete. Easy starting, great product.

From the finding on the internet to the purchasing process to the fast delivery and the easy start up of the Generac I could have not have anticipated a more successful experience.!!!

This is my second power washer. The pump went on the first one after only a year. I have only used the Generac once but it started right up and did a great job washing aluminum siding.

It was a snap to put together out of the box Took about 30 minutes. So far so good.

This is a medium duty unit. It will get the job done around my house blasting mud off my off-road toys and cleaning the decks before painting.

It is not as solid as my previous Generac but should work just fine.

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.

I used this pressure washer 3 straight days. Not hard to start even for a 60 yr old woman. Cleans very well.

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.

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... more

So far so good but I used it three hours. Ask me in a year how I like it.

Great product. If I had to say anything to improve the product it would be to have an established no-burn tube to put the plastic "soap hose" in.

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.

I bought this washer for small jobs around the house, washing cars, equipment, house siding, decks and it is everything I wanted and expected.

It was easy to set up and started on second pull. Works great and does exactly what I wanted to do.

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.

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.

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.

All in all, very satisfied with my purchase and believe I got a great price and service from PW Direct.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great.

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.

I always loved the Generac generators so I thought I would try Generac pressure washer- absolutely love it.

I am extremely satisfied and impressed at the quality and functionability of this power washer. It is powerful, starts easy and reliable.

The price is great compared to other brands and I would recommend this to others.

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.

Runs and works 10 times better than the piece of junk i had before.

Love the light weight and easy start.

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. I didn't have any conversations with Pressure Washer Direct's people , but they seem to handle my order without any problems.

First off, received this product tremendously faster than ever expected. Secondly, response time for questions was unheard of fast and helpful. Lastly product is everything I was wanting.

Proudly have recommended many people to this site would gladly order from again!!!!!

Replaced a 10 year old Craftsman/Sears unit with the Generac 2800.

Out of the box. Delivered on-time!+

It works!!! Used the power washer to clean my patio deck, pontoon boat and driveway.
