When you put together the handles they kind of loose ,

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

love this machine. It does exactly what I have been wanting!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Runs great and works great with 18" surface cleaner. House looks fantastic. Thanks

So far I had the power washer for approximately two weeks. It works great! I did all around the house and it made it look like new. One day we were Bar-B-Qing and some grease got on my porch. The best day I pulled out the power washer and it came off. It’s easy to set up and use, even on small jobs.

The thing I like the most is the adjustable pressure pump. When you are doing different jobs this is great. Cleaning Driveway to washing vehicles they need different pressures. This pressure washer is a beast and will remove paint so be careful. I been using the machine for two weeks so far and love it. Honda motor is great too, after putting machine together it started on first pull. Well pleased with it. It's worth the extra money to get extra fetchers.

I'm beyond pleased with the performance and value of the PS4240 I recently purchased. The level of quality of the pump and the Honda engine is outstanding. The adjustable regulator is a great feature - and a key reason I bought this unit. I think Simpson should make more of a point that this feature exists, it does not receive adequate mention in your online info. I'm looking forward to years of service from this unit. I also purchased the SIMPSON Universal 15 Inch Surface Scrubber when I ordered the washer. This is an incredible accessory and a must-have for floors and driveways! Keep up the good work Simpson!

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.

This is only review but the pressure washer is much better than the previous system that I owned. Plenty of power a bit awkward to move around. They might as well put a third wheel in the back or four wheels but this thing will clean anything. Oh yes, and I wish it was just a Key start for that amount of money it should be.

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.
