Very happy i paid a little extra and got the Honda engine. It performed fantastic, no more than 2 pulls to start the engine each time. Unit had plenty of power to soft wash my two story house. I already upgraded with an additional 100 ft of simpson monster hose so i can leave my unit stationary and clean the entire house.

I ordered this for general use around my home including cleaning siding, concrete, my tractor and its equipment, plus getting river mold off of my boat. It does a great job. It was very easy to assemble and I had it ready in just a few minutes. Make no mistake. This washer is a brute!

Used twice since purchased a month ago. I was disappointed it did not take out rust stains in the concrete using the 40 degree nozzle. Didn’t try the 25 degree since it might remove concrete. Has a kick when using. Started with one pull. Followed instructions to the letter. Hold trigger while attempting to start. Depending on project I used one gallon gasoline at a time with gas protector as instructed. The machine ran out of fuel and no worries of gasoline issues having it sit unused for over 30 days.

Worth spending more to get a commercial grade pump and honda engine. This unit should last a very long time assuming you take good care with it. I wanted at least a 4gpm pump so i can clean faster. One thing to keep in mind is to turn off motor if not spraying for more than 1 minute. This will greatly add longevity to your pump life.

I choose the 4240H because of the Honda GX390 motor and this unit can handle a 20 inch BE surface cleaner. My spouse wanted to use it to clean our brick house. Well, it's a bit to powerful for her 110 lb frame. The "kickback" when she pulls the trigger almost knocks her over, but she has learned to handle it. I recommend you buy from a local store because mine had a few dents from the UPS guys. You may have to pay an extra$20.

I bought this to pressure wash my house and driveway. Using only the green tip it works great. The best thing about all this power is time. My son in law has an 1800 psi electric pressure washer and if I would have used it on my project I'm guessing 12 hours. With the 4400 psi I did the entire project in 4 hours.

I read a lot of reviews before buying this unit and Simpson's reputation as a leader in building these played a key role in my finally selecting this unit. I might have overdone it; the thing is a BEAST of a machine. With normal proper care, I'm assuming this will end up going to my grand kids. 4400 PSI will blow away anything you need to blow away. The whole unit is strong, big motor and the AAA pump is one of the best out there. Engine may be Chinese, but they may have learned a thing or two by now, it looks like a quality-built unit & it started on the 2nd pull. The hose is as stiff as a steel cable - guess that's what you need to hold 4400 PSI. One drawback is that once the engine runs, it tends to vibrate around in circles when placed on concrete or flat surface. I have to place it on the ground/grass to hold it in place. Those are about the only negatives. Make sure power is what you want, because if you are looking to get this unit, that's exactly what you'll get!

I bought this machine just under a month ago and I could have not been any more impressed. My machine did come with two scratches one on the pump and the other by the pump oil cap but not a big deal (probably just from shipping). I have used it twice already probably running about 5 hours total. Had the pressure gauge set in the middle and the throttle only up to half way just to ensure break in period was smooth and even with that it was more than capable with what I needed it to do. The wand and hose with the quick connects were definitely a huge upgrade and super simple. Overall I do not think anybody could go wrong with this. From the once a year user as a homeowner or even a business owner could get some serious work done with this machine.

This thing is big, and heavy. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the typical terrible handle and lance holder. Other than that expected deficiency, setup was easy and started easy, sounds tuned. The power is something you have to get accustomed to when in use.

I am a homeowner with 9000 sq ft of concrete, rural property, with big driveway. In addition, I have a large garage, with 1100 sq ft of concrete and a boat garage with 1800 sq ft of concrete. I clean all a couple of times a year and this machine powers my BE 24" Whirl-A-Way easily, gets the job done fast.
