I purchased the Westinghouse 3400 power washer after reading the reviews in Consumers Reports. I wanted a heavy duty washer that was versatile for light work and powerful enough to do my large concrete driveway. I have had past experience with power washers, and after assembling this washer, I am confident that I will be happy with it for years to come. Very well made.

I received the pressure washer and opened it the following day. It securely pack in a sturdy box. The assembly was about as easy as could be. Attach the handle, a couple plastic holders, rubber foot, hose, and wand. Add the included oil and ready to fuel up. I was impressed the it started on the first pull. I tried a couple nozzles and they worked extremely well. I noticed right away that the pressure and water volume appeared much stronger than my previous washer. I'm very satisfied with my new pressure washer.

Easy final assembly out of box. Easy to understand operating instructions. Quick connect on wand makes nozzle change easy. Very light weight makes it possible for one person to load into vehicle. Not a complaint, but just an observation, the light weight also gives it a tendency to wander a bit when operating at full capacity, but easily solved by scotching the wheels.

I have only used this for a few hours, but it completed the job well. This is a good machine for the price I paid for it. I was able to get this plus all the attachments for the same price as the Sampson Machine. Biggest complaint is that it was hard to start simply because the machine wants to tip over when you pull the cord. You either need someone to hold it or be creative with your feet to hold it in place. It could used a flat spot some where on the starter side so you could place a foot on it to stabilize it while pull starting. This did make it a bit of an issue starting it by my self. The hose is plastic or some compound close to plastic. Not flexable at all, but it does do the job.

I bought this power washer 2 months ago to clean & paint my barn, and I am so glad I did! From removing loose paint to cleaning the surface before painting, this washer did it all and quickly! It packs quite a punch and the price is outstanding. I can't with til Spring to do my house, roof and other buildings!

I bought a Simpson, more expensive, pressure washer many years ago. I finally broke down. I was skeptical on purchasing this one since it was much less expensive. I am amazed on how well and how easy it is to use. I then purchased a Westinghouse surface cleaner and they perform great together. Good units.

The good reviews don't lie... excellent product! We had to return a competitor brand cause it wouldn't even reach the roofline of our ranch home, but this one has no problem at all! Hubby is extremely impressed, amazing! He said "now THAT'S a pressure washer!" Well made, very satifsified! Highly recommend!

Time will tell. I just assembled the machine and I have not used it yet. I've read good reviews but give me 3-5 usage 1st before I can give a real review. it's easy to assemble looks sturdy but time will tell if all these reviews are legit. i'll come give a honest usage review later.

I have had an opportunity to try this out for just a bit so my review is based on just using the unit for about 20 minutes. The setup a was pretty straightforward but after reading a few other reviews, I added a 45 degree elbow to prevent the garden hose from rubbing against the tire and a length of PVC pipe to the frame in order route the hi pressure hose through so that it is guided away from the hot exhaust. Access to the fill port on the soap container seems to be blocked by the engine. All of these areas could use a design review so that they aren't a problem for the customer right out of the box. Aside from this, unit was an easy start on first pull and looking forward to tackling driveway and walkways with surface cleaner attached to this high power washer. Unit seems well built and I expect to receive a good service life from the pressure washer. I am completing this review as part of a promotion to receive 5 bonus spray nozzles from the manufacturer.

Bought this to replace an older one from another company. I couldn't pull the cord and had to contact Westinghouse for troubleshooting. I didn't love the multi-day email back and forth with instructions to disassemble part of it, then later another part (pull the spark plug). Had to send a video showing the problem before I was allowed to return it for replacement. But in the end I got a replacement that works fine. Just had bad luck with the first one (it happens). I like that it is smaller than the one I used to have but appears to have about the same power.
