This is a great product. I made a video.

In short:
I have used it about 5 times now. Works wonderfully. You can putz around with the electric ones, this one is outstanding and far superior.

There are 5 nozzles. The black nozzle is only for applying what you put the suction hose into. It is a very slow application jet, and I have used it to pre-wash my house with a product called Home Armor, also the car with a Maguires product. It goes on with 7 parts water to 1 part solution, but it is far easier and faster than the dispensers that come with the Home Armor.

The rest are for respective uses...so there is a red one for very fine high pressure spraying (I haven't used it yet)

Overall it is easy to use, easy to store, comes at the right price, and represents real value for money

After resolving several issues, the machine works acceptably. However, in order to get it to work I needed to:

1) replace a missing cotter pin that attached one of the wheels to the axle and

2) repair the handle--the actuator had excess clearance that did not allow the water to flow (Simpson customer support was useless).

Another problem that is not as easy to fix is changing the oil. It is exceedingly difficult without removing a wheel, and even then, it is not easy. A minor redesign would made it much easier to both drain and fill.

After the repairs the machine works as advertised. This unit is fine for periodic residential use, but I suspect that it will not hold up over multiple seasons without additional maintenance. The engine and the water pump seem fine, but the frame, handle, and engine controls are unimpressive.

Here's the story: ordered this unit with the Kohler and axial pump. It was supposed to ship directly from Simpson to my house. Instead it was shipped to PED's facility. Ooops. So I called PED and they promptly shipped me another unit overnight (that must have been expensive) so I had it in time for an upcoming job with a deadline.

Unfortunately this unit arrived with the garden hose fitting completely broken off the pump (see the attached pic). Broken during shipping? Defective production run of pump housing castings? Design flaw? Who knows. So I sent a pic to PED and they readily agreed to take the unit back. No time to wait for another unit by mail so I walked into a Big Box store and bought another Simpson washer with the beefier AAA pump (other attached pic) and higher end Kohler engine. It was $200 more than the PED system, but I'm glad I did.

Already a few hours on it, and it's great. So I gave Simpson another chance and I give credit to PED for being very responsive to a delivery error and taking back a broken system.

This was one of the worst investments I have made in a long time. in less than two months the poorly made wand had to be replaced twice and now the on off switch also made of plastic has broken loose from the machine due to vibration. Simpson tells me I have to take it 45 minutes from my house to an authorized dealer for them to decide whether or not its warrented. No thanks.

Really enjoyed using great pressure. Not a bit of problem putting together. Easily cranks.

Just what I wanted, extremely satisfied.

Will not maintain water pressure-followed all directions in trouble shooting suggestion-if it does prime up if u let off trigger-it's over with. Very disappointed in performance.

I'm pleased with the Simpson. I give it a good rating. The inflexible hose is a drawback, and there should be a heat deflector on the exhaust as it will melt any vinyl along side of the unit when running.

I keep the nozzle ends in a bottle rather than on the rubber inserts on the handle as they vibrate out and can get lost.

Best pressure washer on the planet. Absolutely BIGLEY!!

Arrived undamaged in a very beat up box. Recoil starter handle poorly located. Wheeled cart hits back of ankles when unit is pulled. Has fuel shutoff

Runs well, compact.

Arrived next day undamaged works good but the soap nozzle is plastic and doesn't fit the quick connect. Starts a bit hard but always starts.

The hose is much better than our last one and the handle is also better than expected. The soap filter got lost before we used it the first time
