9 months later won't work. Simpson not responsive

I wouldn't buy another unit. I took it home and it was great. Used only a couple of times. Now 9 months later it won't work. I called the company hotline and they told me to take it to a local repair shop. For a large purchase like this, I wan't a experience where I can simply return and exchange for one that works. This is too expensive and too time consuming to put it on a member to remedy. The manufacturer needs to stand behind their product.

Common oil leak MS 60773

Purchased MS60773 pressure washer March 2016 (after approximately 20 hours of machine total usage) in July 2018 and oil leak from the Honda engine GCV 160 occured due to a damaged oil seal. After reading other reviews on the Simpson site it appears that this is a common problem. I contacted customer service and they were very polite with numerous apologies for the oil leak. I asked to speak to a technical person to ensure that this wouldn't occur again after the oil seal was replaced and was told no one from Simpson was available and was given the names of two repair shops in my area to contact. It appears that a key way between the motor and the pump shaft damages the oil seal as noted in other reviews. I am replacing the seal myself at a cost of $7.00 (big deal) but I want to ensure that this doesn't happen again and wanted some technical assistance for guidance. The contacts I was given were repair shops that wanted to fix the unit at my expense. I understand they are businesses and need to make a profit but Simpson should be able to provide support. A reviewer noted a technical bulletin had been issued on this problem but once again Simpson technical support was of no help to get me this info either. I'm a 67 year old man and had the blow off many times in my life but this is one of the biggest.

Pump failure imminent. Not a good choice

I used this about 10 times in the last 4 months, this last time the cast aluminum pump just FELL OFF the bottom. When I called them today they sent me to a local repair facility. He stated to take it back and buy a good brand... DO NOT BUY THIS JUNK!

Poor assembly and packaging

Upon opening the box I found the bottom of the box completely soaked with oil. It actually soaked through the bottom. Apparently the Air filter is soaked in oil during assembly process. It took more than an hour to clean up this mess from poor quality assembly, Power washer works great

Good pressure washer but hose sucks

The pressure washer worked great but the hose got a bubble in it the first time I used it. Hose is cheap

Great features

Cord to start is short enough for my short arms to pull. My dream would be a button to start instead of pulling a cord
