Does not work, worn out hub, broken tube after one use

Would not buy, bought for one project and it was the only one in town that I could get day of. I saw the reviews and figured I would give it benefit of the doubt. Used to clean an area 120'x50' smooth warehouse concrete. Worked great for first hour and a half, then stopped spinning. Checked the spinner and hub had some play on the bushing. One of the spray tubes was loose and adjusted angle back. Horrible vibration issues after, the 4 small mounting screws that mount into plastic housing had to be tightened every 30 min they worked out multiple turns and were not stripped. The Bushing wore enough through vibration and wear that it was rubbing on the housing.

Crap

Stopped working after one year and 4-6 hours of use. Do not buy.

Never works

I bought this & got 1 use out of it. It appeasrs that maybe there is a black lining inside the minuscule hole where the water is SUPPOSED to come out. Only 1 side works. Curious if anyone else has had this problem.

no

Bought this to start my pressure washing company, i finished one job. The next day i went to another job and it doesnt rotate anymore. Used the tool and cleaned it very well, still no good. Great way to waste money trying to start a business.

Stopped spinning

Worked great for 30 mins then would not spin and water going everywhere. Thought it was operator error. Did not have time to look at since I was cleaning for a grad party. Leaking around where the fitting rotates.

Terrible buy

This hasn't worked once since I unboxed it. I have 2 filters before it hits the surface cleaner. I'm running a 3200psi pressure washer and it spins at a rate of 1 rpm.

Broke...just like so many others.

Worked for several applications then the arm stopped spinning. Same issue as many others. No blockages and did not find any replacement parts. Do not buy this product. Go with a different brand.

Good machine, poor accessory

As all other's have said, complete junk after one use. Solid machine, especially with the Honda motor, but the surface cleaner clearly needs help. I hope they have pulled this design from the shelves.

Worked for a minute

I hooked this up to my simpson pressure washer. It's rated at 3200 PSI. It worked for a few minutes then stopped spinning. It worked great while it lasted. Adjusted the pressure up and down with nothing making a difference.

Hi, Jayp98. We're sorry to hear about the trouble you've had with the surface cleaner, but we have a couple of steps you can try to get the product running as we expect. First, check the water inlet filter where the garden hose attaches and make sure nothing is clogged. Second, use a small wire (or an inexpensive pressure washer nozzle cleaning tool) and make sure nothing is lodged in the spinning nozzles- it's possible that a very small piece of dirt or debris is preventing the surface cleaner from operating properly. If you're still having trouble with the unit after these two steps, please give us a call at 877-362-4271 for additional support from our product experts. Thanks for your feedback & we hope you're up and running again very soon!

RR

Fresh out of the box. Spins slowly and is useless. Performed recommended lubrication and nozzle cleaning procedures with no luck. Called customer support, the item will be replaced as this issue is well known.
