Simpson PowerShot Professional 3200 PSI (Gas-Cold Water) Pressure Washer w/ Honda Engine

Simpson has been around for many years. They make all kinds and sizes of pressure washers and pressure washer accessories. Big names even use Simpson as an OEM and put their brand name on them. We have been using Simpson pressure washers for about 3 years now and one thing that we can say about them is that they are reliable and get the job done. All Simpson pressure washers start with a rugged welded tube steel frame design that provides years of service. Rugged 10″ pneumatic tires will easily get you through any job site with ease.

The Simpson PowerShot PS3228 is an industrial duty unit. It has a commercial Honda GX engine that provides reliable starts every time. The GX200 motor has features that the PRO wants like low oil shut off, separate choke/fuel controls and a big steel 3.3 qt gas tank for long run times. The engine is mated to a AAATM industrial triplex plunger pump with ceramic pistons and a thermal relief valve. Triplex pumps are proven to last for years of trouble free service. On the pump is a sight gauge so you can keep tabs on the oil level. The unit puts out 3200 PSI with a flow rate of 2.8 gallons per minute.

In our tests, we gave the unit to A-list Handy Pros a local company that had the perfect deck and driveway job for the unit. Right away Joe the owner liked the low stance of the unit compared to his old one. It easily stows underneath the shelves in his van. He also liked the fact that he was able to lift the 85 lb unit by himself in and out of the van. When using the PowerShot he commented how quiet the unit was even at full throttle. This allows him to get started earlier in the day and not worry about disturbing anyone. Although our test unit did not have quick connects the PowerShot does come with quick connects. This saves time when hooking up the hose and wand. The hose is 25′ long. Professionals like to use 50′ hoses and we would like to see that with future models. The wand has a plastic handle and comes with 5 quick connect nozzles – o, 15, 25 40 and soap. The downstream injection system is easy to use. Simply put the included hose in your chemical, attach the soap nozzle and you are ready to go.

For the professional, you cannot go wrong with the Simpson PowerShot PS3228. It has all the features a PRO would want. Simpson also has a 50′ flexible non marring Morflex hose that is available separately. Simpson is a name you can trust and this unit screams quality and it performed flawlessly. The unit has a 1 year commercial warranty, 3 year engine warranty, 2 year pump warranty and 90 day accessory warranty. Tools in Action recommends this unit.

The only thing I have to compare this to is my trusty and reliable Craftsman 2700 psi pressure washer I used for 8 years to clean my 800 sq. ft. composite deck with aluminum railings and sidewalks.

But this PowerShot Pro blows the previous pressure washer out the window. It cleans three times as well in one third the time.

I cleaned my composite deck, rails, sidewalks, and driveway far better and in less time than the previous 8 years.

All in all, a wonderful machine to own and a beautiful thing to behold the way this machine powers away grime and dirt with ease.

Makes me very happy.

I was happy with this unit for the first year. (Check your reviews for people who have owned them for longer than a few months)

After 1 Year and 9 months the PUMP FAILED. Even though it is advertised as 3 Year Pump - FNH said that the valves are 'wearable parts' and not covered.

SO MUCH FOR THEIR 3 YEAR WARRANTY!

The Honda motor is great - but LOOK FOR A BRAND WITH A BETTER MODEL OF PUMP!

Nice washer for the price. I like the Honda engine and the commercial quality pump.

I used the 3200 after about a month of purchase! It is a great power washer!

I used it on my Weber grill. The grill looks like the grill the day I bought it ten years ago.

I bought the 3200 Powershot. It has the better pump on it as well as the bigger Honda motor. I also bought a power nozzle and used it to clean old concrete. Did the job as advertised. Looks great!

I like how it starts so easy! I had heard of these units shipped with oil leaking. Mine did not. I am fully satisfied with the power washer.

Back fired every time I let off the trigger. Call Pressure Washers Direct they routed me to Simpson. Simpson told me to bring it to a warenty shop. The closest one is over 60 miles away. It is still there.

Bought about a week ago from TSC as open item, they reduced price by 150.00 and I bought the wand, spray gun, and hose to the missing parts. Got home, read the instructions carefully. Had to get some oil for the pump, it looked a little low and I did not want to take any chances of just running it right away. Also had to get quick attachments for the hose to the pump and the nozzle gun.

Used three times so far for about 3 hours each time, not problems. Honda engine starts up after 1 to 3 pulls.

I would recommend a buy as long as you understand the operating procedures carefully.

I have not used it a tremendous amount yet but It has not failed me at all. I've used it to wash many vehicles, the garage, and the house prior to painting etc.

As compared to others I have used in the past it doesn't seem to shake as much and move around on its own. The nozzles that are in the handle therefore, will stay put and not rattle out which I've had happen before with other models and then actually lost nozzles before too.

This model is a bit expensive but so far has not let me down at all.

Hose provided with powerwasher lasted approx., 8 hours of run time before it developed a huge blister and failed. all fittings are not compatible with our local suppliers so we cannot replace hose locally and quickly.

Provide better quality, heavy duty hose.

My only complaint with this pressure washer is the design and quality of the nozzle holder. It does have rubber bushing to hold them in place but this system vibrates a lot. Every time I come back to the system after spraying my nozzles are all over the ground and I have already lost one.

Best to keep them in a bag or something because you are likely to lose them if you put them in the holder.
