On the first use of this hose the water blew through the hose near the coupling.

We live on well water and many power washer pumps don't work well on well water systems.

Bad, bad things will happen when the remaining water in the machine starts to freeze.

But now less than a year in with what I would characterize as a very light workload, it leaks water like a sieve where pump meats motor and it sounds like a piston is ready through the motor

Next, they told me to "hit it or pour warm water on it"

Faster but lower quality work or go slower, waste more water.

If and you don't start squirting the pressurized water in 3-minutes the over heat bypass is supposed to open to let some fresh low temp water into the pump to prevent melt down

Also never run the pressure washer without priming the pump with cold running water, running a dry pump is sure path to dissatisfaction

also never running the washer more than 120 second with no water going through the pump or it will overheat.very happy with this

Reading similar reviews shows there is a manufacturer defect with the water pumps they refuse to address.

1 hour on this washer , the water pump hosing broke & 2 bolts snapped .It took 2 weeks to repair .had to rent power washer to complete jobs .would not recommend !!

I was surprised to see a pool of oil under it and rusty water coming out the handle.

WORKS WELL, STRONG WATER STREAM

This machine acts like it has a brain and if you give it a couple of minutes, it adjusts to the well water pressure and gives you constant pressure throughout the job you are doing.

After letting it sit for a few weeks I went to use it again and it leaked water everywhere

MDA muddied the waters since any residual gas from setup and testing would have run through with the first tank of gas, when you said the unit worked fine

Need to have a good water supply, and connect the water supply first then the hose to gun.

motor gets water inside and burns happened 3 times in 2 years.

Just cold water.

It had all of the power I needed, it didn't leak water at every hose connection (a surprisingly common problem with these types of things given the amount of water pressure).

According to the user manual the pump draws 10 gallons of fresh water for every gallon of solution but gives no explanation on how to mix concentrate if the mix calls for a different ratio.

And I'm not using any type of detergent or cleaner that might degrade them - just water.

The cold water inlet came broken on the

The pump also leaks water, and the nozzle/gun holder plate arrived bent

After normal use for 2 summers the water pump housing cracked

My problem was a broken O-RING between the wand and handle, spewing water all over my feet.

Works as it should.

Simpson will send new part as soon as available (6-8

I use it to wash vehicles, decks, vinyl siding and concrete so far and the variety of nozzles and everything works as it should.

Disappointing as they are responsible for the misleading documentation).

Highly disappointed as it was shipped broken, took forever to get a replacement part, and it failed with the replacement part.

I took some time to clean it and make sure that it should work as it's supposed to.

n’t go wrong with model and company.

n’t take it apart to clean

t a great machine i live it.
