I bought this to replace my old power washer of many years and I wish I would have traded up sooner. This unit starts perfectly and everything works perfectly. The only problem for me is that I am in my sixties and the unit is very powerful, to help with this I bought the extra handle grip to use and being able to use two hands makes it a lot better.

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.

Honda GX200 engine is perfect for any residential cleaning effort. Starts on a single pull whether cold or warm. Fuel efficient. Recommend to use 90+ octane, non-ethanol fuel. AAA pump is strong. Catches prime quickly and never struggles to deliver pressure. Frame has low vibration with sturdy rubber feet, doesn't "walk". Only improvement could be to provide a 31" wand vs. the included 16" wand.

I bought this unit after reading positive reviews and its compact design was also a selling point. I have used it four times so far and I am satisfied with the purchase. The Honda engine is easy to start and this model has power. The throttle on this unit can be adjusted to suit the need of the project. The extension wand was too short for comfort so a replacement was bought after the first use on the concrete driveway. Overall, I am a satisfied customer of this unit.

Delivery company arrived and carton was upside down. After previous posts viewed expected the worst. Not the problem. Packed well and no leaked oil or broken/damaged parts. Assembled and started in about 1/2 hour with no effort. Everything worked properly. Unit is small so it does walk a bit, but is easy to move. Wand works as should with no leaks, but it would be nice to have a 40 or 50 foot hose. Replaced a commercial unit and have not given a complete workout yet. Appears to be a quality unit and should do fine for my needs.

the unit just as presented in ads. while this unit will be used in my farm application it will perform a commercial level job. I compared many brands and spoke with my brother who has a cleaning business. he had a smaller simpson it works great. he is waiting for my review to order one. Please note to anyone reading this review be honest with yourself as to want type of job you are doing. don't buy less and expect more.

This thing is a beast. Very powerful. With the 15"flat surface cleaning disc I cleaned my driveway in no time. FYI this is so powerful you have to help pressure towards the surface or the disc will take off like a UFO.... starts with one pull, would recommend to anyone looking for power.

I have now used it twice. The first time I went to start it, I had a little trouble but I think I may have had the choke in the wrong position. The second it started with one pull! This is a great machine and I am happy I replace my old Karcher, although it served me well. The only thing negative I can say, which is why it gets only 4 stars, is the spray tips will not stay in their holders on the handle. The design is too loose and the vibration of the machine causes them to fall out very shortly after starting up. To avoid losing one, I take them out and put them all in my pocket before I start it now. Simpson needs to make the grommets tighter. Otherwise, very good washer.

More power than I need, had a hard time holding wand from recoil... take the crome off a trailer hitch!!! had to turn down the volume on this one pressure is off the hook! Great machine, no issues yet. Works like a champ! Very pleased and would recommend this unit to all...

I bought this pressure washer as a replacement for a residential duty washer owned for 8 years that experienced an engine failure. Used primarily for cleaning walkways, wood deck and vinyl siding at home. Very powerful and had to dial back pressure so as not to remove baked on enamel paint from aluminum window trim! Engine starts easily and runs strong. Fuel tank size allows washing for long periods before refueling is needed. Engine vibration under pressure washing load is severe causing rapid wear of the rubber feet and shaking the washer tips out of their holders. Tips not in use need to be removed from their holders and rags placed under rubber feet to prevent them from wearing away. Overall satisfied with performance but concerned the severe vibration will eventually result in failures of other components. Use of pump preservative is awkward.
