I purchased this unit for my home needs: driveway/patio cleaning, brick siding, deck cleaning etc. This thing is a powerhouse! Assembly was easy and starting is almost a breeze. The PSI and GPM may seem to be a bit much for residential use, but I was concerned more with time in getting a job done. Definitely quicker than a smaller unit and variance in price. Very happy with purchase.

Fantastic pressure washer, only problem is that the needle/seat doesn't seal so it drains the tank into the cylinder and I had to remove the plug and pull the rope to get all the gas out then from that point on I have to close the fuel shut-off valve every time I stop the engine.

Bought the Simpson 4240 at Lowes along with a Surface Cleaner. First use was our front driveway and side walks - the combo did a GREAT job. Between the Simpson's high pressure/high volume output with a stainless steel 15 " surface cleaner - the job went quickly with wonderful results.

I had no previous expereince with pressure washers. The purchase of the PS60843 was my first experience. The packaging was good, the labeling and literature was good. I felt the literature could have discussed/identified the pressure offloader and the thermal offloader some more. After about 2 hours of using the unit, water started leaking out from the pressure offloader valve (I think it is). This is the brass spring loaded valve pointing downwards on the water output. I thought this is how the valve should operate, but the leak was costant, even when the engine was shut off. The leak caused the engine to pulse when the trigger was not depressed. I then checked the valve and it needed tightening. This should have been tightened at the factory and should not have come loose after 2 hours of use. However, this was a minor inconvenience. The engine starts well, if you turn down the pressure regulator to the lowest, and trigger the wand to release pressure. If the engine did not start after two firm pulls, depress the wand trigger again to release the pressure. I would like to have seen a simple fuel level indicator. Currently you have to remove fuel filter from the fuel tank and look inside. This should be fairly easy, but the filter has no real way to be held on too and lifted out without getting jammed against the surfaces of the tank surrounding it. Removing the filter is actually a very delicate and somewhat timely exercise. I made a wire hook to lift the filter out. It is simple and works, but another factory supplied method would have been nice.Perhaps a transparent fuel hose from the tank would be a good indicator. The lowest pressure I was able to get is 2000 PSI. I ran the unit at 3500PSI, but I could have gotten 4,000 or more. I did not want to max out the unit as it is new....break it in slowly. I am yet to play with adjusting the engine trottle using the supplied lever, and see if the pressure would decrease. I have not used the unit since, but will in a few days time. I cannot comment on reliability as yet, but sure hope this unit is reliable....very reliable. Overall, as of now, I believe this is an excellent unit. I am so far pleased with it. Would I purchase it again, yes.

Great pressure, starts easily, works great. Highly recommend it

I took this thing off the truck and right to work. Great Product.

Just purchased great power and water pressure. Great home cleaning machine!

When you put together the handles they kind of loose ,

Very clean. Easy to use. Good purchase. Lots of accessories. Powerful.

I just assembled not used yet but looks like it is very robust
