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.

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.

Living on a lake, with three decks, boat dock, and a walkway down a hill to the shore... I clean wood, paving stones, retaining walls, etc. with this pressure washer and it is a pleasure to finally have a reliable starting, powerful aid to my efforts {I'm 75 years old}. After years, since buying it back in 2014, this review is based on experience. It runs as if brand new. Starts easily as can be! I did put some non-marring tires after changing to a cedar deck, and noticed that despite the drain holes ~ the heat shield over the muffler rusted at the attachment screws. I also am delighted at how it folds down compactly to fit under my workbench, and after winterizing it happily gets hoisted into the attic over the garage until next season. Conclusion: Simpson has done a fine job here and demonstrates a company commitment to quality and fine engineering.

I purchased this 3 months ago it has awesome power when you can get it started ! but this is very hard to get started I use non oxy premium fuel it is getting plenty of fuel and the throttle and choke are set correct according to the manual but once it starts and is warm it will start on the first pull after that !

GoRiver Marine has been using this pressure washer for a few years without any issues. We have worn out the original hose and gun, which were upgraded with commercial grade parts. We use this equipment hard and it keeps on running. Thanks for making a great machine.

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.

I researched reviews of various power washers before choosing the Simpson Power Shot. I wanted one with a Honda motor and high quality pump. Sam's Club had the best price on this model. It is smaller and quieter than other power washers I've used before, but still has plenty of pressure for my needs. It starts easily, usually on the first pull. No problem with the spare nozzles shaking loose which was a complaint I'd read about. Very pleased with this purchase.

To date this is my second Simpson machine in a year. The first one I bought was for my home and after how great it worked I decided to buy another unit for my business. I own a small car repair and oil change shop. I wanted something that had plenty of power to help get rid of oil stains but also didn't break my bank seeing as that I am a small business. Simpson created the perfect model on this one. Tons and I mean tons of power and at the most competitive price in the market. I only use it about once or twice a week for an hour or so but its been perfect. 2 Simpson pressure washers in and I love the product and the brand.

I shopped around for a few days and found the cheapest price at Sams,even though some companies didn't charge sales tax,it was still cheaper.I have used it once and found it to be very good.I would recommend on getting another hose to connect to the 25ft one it comes with.If you are planning on using a surface cleaner with this pressure washer ,check to see if this has enough GPM to run it effectively you may want to spend extra money on a more powerful unit

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.
