An excellent Value
Cranked on the first pull. Very powerful; much mores so than my previous 2600. The only issue I have is that the rubber stoppers seem to be wearing down already. This is from when the machine is idle and bouncing around. Also there was a screw missing for gun holster which after a quick phone call, was sent to me. Overall, an amazing value and simple enough that my kid can help.

      Best bang for the buck
      This is a bare bones unit, substituting power and utility for frills ... no fancy housing ... no detergent tank ... and the handle rattles when in operation ... but I bought it for the pressure and flow rate ... I shopped around a LOT (Amazon, etc.), and this is the one I found to be the best for the money ...

      Quite a machine for the price
      It is an excellent pressure washer. the front is not level, had to replace the front grommets and use spacers to keep it from circling. Other than that, it has more power than my 3200psi Karcher. Very pleased with it

      best pressure washer for the price
      Was very easy to setup and use. Unpacked and had it running in 20 minutes. The only draw back was the engine cutting off when you moved the machine around, if you tilt the machine back too far the low oil pressure drops off stopping engine. Very easy to start and restart. Engine produces plenty of torque to power pressure pump.

      Excel Pressure Washer
      I ordered the pressure washer online and waited a few weeks for delivery (as expected) and the spent 1+ hours assembling it. After all of that the pressure washer didn't operate for more than 10 seconds before the water intake connection failed. The brass female connection cast failed. I had to return the pressure washer and pickup a less powerful one as their were none in stock. The HD folks were nice about it but I just wasted a lot of time due to poor quality construction.

      A great pressure washer
      Three caveats with any gas powered equipment, the gas tank has to be run dry after every use, and to keep the carb clean, use rec 90 fuel which has no alcohol to gum up the insides of your pressure washer, treat the fuel with a proper stabilizer and after every job flush out the pressure washer with antifreeze, briggs and stratton have a kit, or make up one of your own with a short length of hose and a container to pour the antifreeze into. Specifically about this pressure washer, the first time I ordered it the axle was bent, but Home Depot Customer Service ordered another one for me right away. The second one was intact, assembled quickly and I used synthetic oil instead of what what shipped with the unit. It powered on right away, provided me the power to do the work I need, and the wheels make it easier to move around.

      Good value
      Powerfull washer. It was easy to assemble. The only negative is the panel screw getting loose from the shaking so you have to keep an eye onit

          Works good after finally getting delivered
          It works good with plenty of power for jobs around the house. . Takes up to three pulls to start sometimes and the vibration of the unit while running causes the unit to circle itself while being used tangling up the hoses. Have used it for about 5 hours so far.

          Good deal ...
          Went together fairly well. Parts were scattered in the box but all were there. The tires are not pneumatic but are foam filled and developed a flat spot from sitting in the floor. Don't really like the "soap" dispenser mechanism for there is no way to turn off and on except to pull hose from the container. It is worth the money for the twice a year user.

          a bigger project then i anticipated
          challenging to put together and two of the main bolts were missing. Back to the store to secure the necessary hardware. Once together it worked fine... If I have to submit a picture of the product to win your $1,000 then maybe you should keep the $1,000 and hire a good photographer and take your own pictures. no thanks, i'll opt out.

            Easy to use.
            Easy to assemble and use. Instruction manual is useless except for steps to start and stop engine, follow those closely.

              Working just like it should
              Have used it several times now and am very happy with this washer. After putting it together it seems very sturdy. The motor starts easily and it's easy to operate. It's still new so I will revisit this after I've had it for a while.

                dissapointed
                Did not listen to original reviews posted of poor starting problems. Started well first time, but restarts after period of running was intermittent at best. Used several starting tricks with choke and gas supply, but nothing worked every time. Was frustrated at times. Best policy was to let rest for some time and try to restart later. Would recommend an auto or electric start for future customers. An additional problem exists with the front stabilizing pods. Due to running vibrations the unit wanders on hard surfaces leaving black rubber trails on patio--not good!
