Ive had nothing but trouble with the motor since I started the engine. It continues to backfire as the engine is running.

the only thing I did not like about the pressure washer was the lack of quick connects between the high pressure pump and the spraying wand.

I bought this pressure washer a year ago and pull it out to clean the driveway and patios along with any other things around the house that need to be blasted clean. This unit has proven to be reliable and effective. The Honda engine starts easily with one pull and the washer is a powerful cleaner. I like to use it in the fall to blow leaves out of the landscaping beds onto the lawn for disposal. Great piece of equipment.

I live in north central Alabama so mildew grows on areas not exposed to direct sunlight. Simpson pressure washers are highly rated and durability is very important to me. After much research, I purchased my Simpson commercial pressurized sprayer 5/11/18. I also bought the 15" surface cleaner and a 3 foot wand extension. The boxes arrived on time and undamaged. A few days after reading the instructions and completing assembly including adding crankcase oil, I cleaned concrete - sidewalk, driveway and front porch. The GX200 Honda engine is easy to start and runs strong. I have also cleaned 3/4 of my soffits (underside of roof overhang). For reaching higher areas the 3 ft wand extension which works great. I first applied a chemical cleaner to the soffits using the black tip, let it soak for 15 -30 minutes and then sprayed until the soffits were clean. Works great. Still have the back porch and back side soffits to do but am waiting until weather gets cooler.

Bought this unit 2 months ago. I’ve had no problems with it after 10 jobs. Plenty of power! A quick squirt of the wand releases line pressure to pull start. If it doesn’t start on first pull, release line pressure again. When starting, don’t put your foot on air stem of tire, it will break.

The product works great you definitely have to buy the extra nozzles and attachments to get the full capabilities out of it though. Also I read in some reviews that the machine shakes too much and it will spin in circles or uneven ground i didn't have any of those issues.

I've had this machine for only a week and only 1 hour and 20 minutes of run time on the hourmeter I installed, so this review is only an initial assessment. The machine is a beast and not for the frail, it's heavy, the monster hose needs to be rolled, not lassoed, and the recoil from the pressure is a good 30 pounds, so be prepared to get a good workout in. Otherwise, besides it's few flaws, I love it. I ran it at 2750 rpms on the first use to break it in and really, that's more pressure and volume than most other machines put out at full power, and at that rpm the engine sounds like it's just cruising along rather than screaming. The one major flaw is the pressure release valve installed on the pump, when you shut the machine down it sometimes squirts cold water on a very hot engine resulting in a cloud of steam and the engine complaining with all sorts of crackling sounds from the sudden and unequal contraction on one side of the cylinder wall. I solved the flaw with a rubber elbow and a stainless hose clamp, something Simpson could do for pennies. The other issue is the grab handle that goes over the engine, it doesn't fit squarely against the other handle and I had to leave it off.

Started on first pull. Has performed well the first week or so. My only complaint, and the reason for 4 stars and not 5, is that the unit is so compact and low to the ground I pretty much have to carry it instead of using the wheels. I'm 6'-5" tall and the handle is way too low. An extension to raise the handle 12 +/- inches would be very easy for Simpson to design and offer as an accessory. Please do this.

I can't speak on the longevity of the product at this point, but so far it's a great unit. Plenty of power and took less than 5 minutes to assemble and put in service. It comes with a bottle of oil and plenty of signage reminding you to put oil in it, but mine already had the correct amount in the crankcase. Has a nice long hose and seems to be very well built and with a Honda engine it's hard to go wrong!

I bought the Simpson PowerShot 3200 PSI pressure washer and it started on the first pull. It is simple to use and the Honda Motor indicates a quality which I have relied on in the past. Over all the pressure performed up to what I had intended its use for. Here are some of the problems that caused a delay in my initial use of this pressure washer; 1. The pressure hose that came with the unit is of the screw on type and not the quick connect which is sold in most stores. I counld not find these hoses sold any where locally. It took me several trips to different hardware stores to find the necessay adapters so I could add on an additional quick connect high pressure hose. The additional cost was Approx. $50 and made the purchase from Sam's less attractive as far as savings go. 2. I tried several times to get the soap pick up to work, but was unsuccessful and will try to contact MFG. to see if they have any ideas. 3. The pressure washer nozzles that come with the machine all work very good. The problem is that they will not stay in the tray provided on the pressure washer and tend to get lost. If I had to do this purchase again I would have bought locally knowing what you see is what you get. Even after buying all of the connectors I can only use the pressure washer with both hoses connected unless I want to remove all connectors and then use the screw on connector hose my itself.
