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 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 bought this in January this year. PROS It is surprisingly powerful. It cleans concrete like magic. It starts very easily, and idles correctly It is easy to wheel around CONS The wand has no way of holding open the trigger, and cannot be placed in a manner to do so. This means when starting the motor you have to hold the trigger while pulling the starter. A minor inconvenience.

I got this as a residential model for cleaning bare concrete. It’s beyond powerful enough. For the price, you will not find more cleaning power. If your looking for a washer to regularly use on a car, I would suggest something with less power, this has taken small bits of paint off of my car.

The machine was delivered on time and without issue. Easy to assemble. Followed instructions, pulled the cord and started on the very first pull. Impressive!!! After about 20 minutes or so the machine started to violently vibrate and 'almost' lifting entirely off the ground. It stopped vibrating after about 20-30 seconds. Scary.... It does well on gas. The second time I used it, again it also started on the first pull. And again the vibration occurred and stopped in about 20-30 seconds. It does a great job, has plenty of power. Another issue to me is, the manual is poorly written. There are things on the machine that are not identified in the book; such as, one black twist off cap without a dip stick. Overall it's a good machine to this point. I have about 5 total hours of use. My fingers are crossed.

I couldn't get it to start at first but finally figured out that I had the throttle setting wrong. The diagram in the Honda Engine manual was a bit confusing. Once I had that sorted out it started right up. I ran it for about 40 minutes and the gas tank was still nearly full. I purchased the dial n wash and found it very effective at controlling the pressure. I love that I can throttle it down and leave the machine running while I reset something to be washed. I still pull the trigger every two minutes or less but at the low running speed I'm guessing there is a lot less stress on the pump as the water comes out of the lance at what seems like household pressure. If it continues to perform as it did today I will be a very happy customer. If not, there is always the warranty.

This is my first pressure washer and I decided to get this particular one because it offered commercial quality at a reasonable price. This is built so well, it will be the first and last pressure washer I will need to buy. It was very gratifying to clean the filthy sidewalk in my front yard with this machine.

After some minor assembly and then scanning the manual for the start up procedure the Honda motor started in just a few pulls. The washer itself does a good job. The first day I used it for a couple hours to clean a large driveway, deck and rails without a problem. The next day I fired it up and noticed the hose already had developed a few pinholes and was leaking. The fittings were watertight, it was the hose itself. After only two hours of use.....really? To cheap out on the hose for what is an otherwise excellent washer is aggravating, hence three stars.

3 years now and it's super. 2 Flaws: The choke is not marker properly. Closed is open on the molder plastic part. Once that was figured out..starts on 1 easy pull every time! Gotta love HONDA power! Next: Exhaust shield gets very hot. How hot? Hot enough to melt a hole in your hose just as your patio is 3/4 clean the night before your big party. So rig something or make sure every coil of the hose is off the machine because it will get stuck in there.
