Assembled unit in minutes. Filled motor with oil provided and gas and it started on the first pull. The Honda engine on this unit has plenty of power for the pump that comes factory filled with oil. The 3200 psi realy did a nice job on cleaning my wood deck that was dark gray and made it look almost new again. I looked on-line at several wb-sites and this unit sold for $749 to $799. $499 at Sam's plus tax and only $13.50 to ship.

This unit (Model PS3228) has a MSRP of $899 and Sam's Club offered it for $499! No other retailer came close to matching Sam's price. Being a commercial unit, it has a Honda GX-200 engine and a Triplex plunger pump versus smaller engines and axial cam pumps in consumer units. It's simply built to be durable under heavy duty use. Easy assembly; started right up; great power and acceptable noise level. However, I'd suggest you pick up a 50-ft. hose. The 25-ft. hose supplied forces you to move the machine too often.

Powerful enough for residential home. Easy to use. Unfortunately, handle bar doesn’t align to place bolts easily. (I had this issue with the DeWalt I purchased and returned bc of this issue). It also does not have an internal tank for soap. Requires premium gas which makes it more difficult to maintain. Incredibly loud. I would spend the little extra on a different brand or model.

Everything has been great thus far. All of the instructions were very easy to follow in putting the pressure washer together and getting it ready for first use. After following all of the instructions, and starting the pressure washer up, I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was and smooth running.

1. Received 1day before earliest date of expected delivery listed 2.As others have listed, box arrived pretty well beat up,and, of course gas tank has small dent in upper corner from handle laying loose in box. 3.Added oil, gas, checked pump oil, connected water hose after I found and installed a hose gasket to keep water from spraying all over the pump. 4.No hose in box, have read other complain about length of hose,but, I received no hose or quick connect fittings. 5.Emailed Simpson to notify shortage so, hopefully that gets resolved easliy as I have confidence in the great Honda engine and Simpson name. 6. I will add final review after I receive everything and try it out.

I bought this Simpson PowerShot pressure washer about three weeks ago and have now used it several times and all that I can say is what a machine! The 3200 PSI w/2.8 GPM is stronger than I originally expected and is perfect for the type of clean up that I am using it for. The Honda GX200 commercial motor has not failed to start on the first pull yet, even when I first took it out of the box! The frame is compact enough not to take up a lot of space in the garage. This was/is the best machine for the money in my book and I have used many different brands through the years.

Best value available. Same machine from other sources measurably higher. Does the job and then some. Fast delivery. Only complaints are minor and easily remedied: As reported by others, the storage for the tips is ineffective. With the machine running, the tips vibrate out of their "sockets".Will fashion a retainer strap (velcro?) to hold them in place. Hose length is too short. Had to buy additional hose. Don't park it on an abrasive surface while operating. The rear feet abrade.

Love it. Looks durable. Starts easily. Excellent price for 3200 PSI/ 2.8 GPM and highly rated pump. After learning how to adjust pressure with nozzle changes and distance from object being cleaned, we cleaned 50 year old patio, black with mildew, in good time without damaging it. Washed pool before re-plastering with ease. Made diving board which had previously looked trashed, look like new. Cleaned house siding quickly. Cleaned mildew from slate patio with 1/2 inch grout lines without damaging slate or washing out grout. We now plan to wash outdoor furniture, remove paint from wicker furniture and blast asphalt driveway to prepare for sealing.

I was able to use this pressure washer on the pool deck over the weekend and wow, it is so much quieter than my previous smaller engine Honda washer. It started on two pulls, brand new. It was very easy to assemble, add oil, add fuel, conned to the hose, and ready to go! I do wish the throttle handle was a bit longer or had a comfort-type grip on it. Everything seems like excellent quality. I did have an issue lining up the holes to attach the handle…I had to hammer it in with a rubber mallet. When I finally got the screws through it was all downhill from there. Again, I’m delightfully surprised at how quiet this thing is, and it never hesitates when starting the water flow.

I've gotten to use this twice and I'm impressed with the power and ease of start up. Literally, one pull, and it fires to life. When it does, it's loud. Wear ear protection. Lastly-When I unpacked the pressure washer, at the bottom of the box, was a nut and bolt. It was just randomly there. There's no indication in the manual about this, I'm hopeful that it was just accidentally included?? Simpson, reach out to help ease my concern.
