I can't believe more people don't buy this. It's got the best value of warranty, pressure, and price out there on the market. It started up on the first pull and easily cleaned up our Adirondack chairs. I can't wait to keep using it for all kinds of other tasks.

Great machine for use with a 20" surface cleaner. Starts easily and has plenty of power. Might have a 2nd qt of motor 10w-30 oil to fill the machine from what is included. 1qt barely fills the engine with 1.2 qt capacity. Also, oil drain opening in frame could have been lined up better for servicing.

I purchased this machine about a week ago to replace my Karcher 2400 psi pressure washer. I have only used it for two days so far, washing my home in preparation for painting. It starts very easily, and compared to my old machine, has PLENTY of power. It cleaned the siding very well, and stripped some of the old paint off in several places, but by being relatively careful, it didn't gouge the wood. I purchased an extra 50' hose for it, as the 25' that comes with it is a little too short. I ran all 75', plus my 20' extendable wand, but saw no discernable line loss in pressure. So far I'm highly satisfied. I'd highly recommend this model. Hopefully I'll have this unit for the rest of my life, as it is only intended for limited use at my home.

I bought this pressure washer to replace my old one that finally went to pressure washer heaven after 15 faithful years. The Simpson PS3228 comes with a great Honda engine (GX200) that unlike the consumer grade GC series it is expected to last forever. The engine is matched to a Triple Plunger Triplex pump producing 3300psi (3350psi measured at the pump outlet) at 2.5 gallons per minute. That is more than enough cleaning power for any homeowner or even for light commercial use. I would had preferred a CAT pump but Simpson provides a 5 year warranty on the pump so I have no complains there. The machine comes with everything you need to start power washing in the box. I was pleasantly surprised that No Assembly Required. After fueling the engine and put the supplied oil, the engine started on the first pull. I put the high reach nozzle on the wand (bought separately) pulled the gun trigger and the water reached the roof of my two story house with enough force to clean the siding. I am happy that I do not have to climb a ladder any more for cleaning the siding of my house. Overall the 3228 is a very nice pressure washer, priced right and stands out as the best value of washers with similar features. However, in my opinion there are a couple of things that Simpson could do better. Firstly the hose supplied is a 1/4, 25 feet light duty hose. It is a hose that someone would expect from an electric washer in the 1700 to 2500psi. It would be nice to include a 50 feet 3/8 hose. Secondly and most important the handle of the cart is positioned right if you are 4 feet tall. For normal people that are 5 to 6 feet tall Simpson must provide a taller handle or at least a handle extension.

The unit has great power. The specs indicate the unit has pneumatic tires. It has solid tires which adds to its inability to absorb its own vibrations and “walks” across pavement. I plan to take this up with Simpson and HD. Vibration isolation pads or mounts should be incorporated into this design.

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.

Best machine I have used. Plenty of power, well made. I used to clean concrete at large church property. Cleans great, fast and easy. Seriously good engine, pump, accessories and frame. Easy to move around and has a long hose, reducing time needed to move machine.

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.

After 3 straight weekends of failures on my old pressure washer I ordered the PS2338-S to replace it. This thing is awesome. Assembly instructions are very well thought out and written. I filled it with oil, filled it with gas, and pulled the cord very lightly and slowly a few times to get the oil and gas flowing inside. On the fourth very light very slow pull the engine started! The engine does backfire when you release the trigger on the lance for the first few uses but after the second or third use it stops doing it, so don’t worry. The included hose that everyone complains about in reviews is in fact stiff, but not in a way that makes it hard to use. I immediately went out and bought the Simpson 50ft braided hose just to have a longer length, nothing wrong with the included hose. My only complaints would be: 1: It’s needs a larger fuel tank for longer jobs. 2: The pressure adjustment knob is too close to the water inlet, it’s not very easy to adjust when the inlet hose is attached. If it was longer, pointed up, or was farther to the left it would be perfect.

I have only had this machine for 2 weeks. Used it 3 times and has worked great. In the instructions it says to be careful of the muffler . They say it gets hot and don't touch it. It is close to the pull cord and you may have an inkling to put your hand on it while pulling it. PAINT THE COVER TO THE MUFFLER RED GUYS !!! That would help. Safety first. It is so easy to want to put your hand on the muffler cover when restarting this machine.
