Was impressed with metal and brush design, but it stopped working after 30 min.

Wished I didn't throw out my old surface cleaner when I bought the new Simpson power washer that came with a surface cleaner. I had another manufacturer surface cleaner and cleaned great but this Simpson surface cleaner was not rotating quick enough to effectively clean and had to use the typical spray nozzles to finish the job.

The unit seemed be a quality unit. The problem was the bearing/bushing for the rotating spray wand seized 15 minutes into use. Used a 2200 PSI Power Washer so I know it wasn't spinning too fast to melt the components. No parts support from factory. Was considering a new Simpson Power washer but having second thoughts now.

Got it on clearance for $30. Came with a turbo nozzle and pressure reducing nozzle as well. Fantastic value at that price. Cleaned about 2500 sqft of concrete in about 4 hours. That included me foaming soap on. I had a lot of mud from new construction so half my time was washing that away after I used the surface cleaner. Cleans fairly well for what it is. It won't replace you blasting close up for stubborn stains.

The first one of these that I purchased was replaced as a warranty claim, even though my product was just outside the normal warranty. While I appreciated the courtesy of a free replacement, the replacement didn't fare any better than the original. The replacement worked fine for two uses over about a two-month timeframe. When I tried using it a third time, the heads would no longer spin. Water would spray just fine, but the spinning action was non-existent, rendering this tool useless. This complaint is so common that Simpson really needs to fix this or stop selling these. I have two other surface cleaners (off-brands from Amazon) that have lasted for several years with no issues.

Should have read the reviews before I purchased this last summer. Used it one time last summer to clean a small patio area. Went to go use it again last week and what does it do? It doesn't spin. It sprays out the nozzles just fine, even tried lubricating inside to help it spin better and nothing. What's sad is Walmarts brand surface cleaner works better! Do not buy!

Hello , i got this unit last week 09-29-23 and for the first couple of hours it worked great . then it started to spin slow . checked the nozzle and it was clear . i even cleared the center hub with Air . tried it again and it worked for a couple more hrs. . what kind of lube or grease to you recommend for the center hub . I think from all of the concrete debris it gets into the center hub and causes it to spin slow . or is this a poor design , i have a SIMPSON Cleaning MSH3125 MegaShot 3200 PSI Gas Pressure Washer, 2.5 GPM, Honda GC190 Engine

After 30 minutes of use this stopped spinning.  I looked at the reviews after my problem (mistake!) and Simpson suggests cleaning nozzles and Checking screens.  I don't understand why this needs so much maintenance - I've had a slightly cheaper unit that lasted 4 years with zero problems and zero maintenance.   I'm returning this.

I purchased this about 6 months ago and just like all the others it worked for about 35 minutes and stopped rotating. Followed all directions in the manual about what to look for if stops rotating. No good. This cost way too much money to work for 30 minutes and then have to go buy something different. I hope the Simpson power washer I bought with it doesn't heave a rod in 2 hrs worth of work. Sucks!

This product was included with Simpson power washer that I bought about 1 month ago. It worked great on two driveways but now doesn't want to spin. When trigger first pulled, it spins normal for about 10 seconds then slows down to a stop. Suspect binding in shaft. Plastic parts? Love the concept but will buy competitors product as a replacement. Other reviews state no replacement parts..?
