I am very pleased with this pressure washer. I have used it twice now. It is very powerful. It is easy to set up, very easy to start, and flexible with the multiple spray nozzles. They are useful for concentrated work or for far reaching up to gutters, etc.

A couple of years ago, I purchased a Simpson MSV 3100 at Sam's that had an amazing Honda GSV 190 engine. When it failed, we decided to buy a replacement and to have the MSV 3100 repaired as a back-up. We then purchased the Simpson Mega Shot 3100 at Sam's. After using it for one day, it vibrated so bad (most likely an adjustment) it would shake your eye-teeth out. So, we returned it to Sam's. We had considered the Simpson Power Shot 3200, but Sam's was out of stock and everyone else was selling the same unit for over $800. We then purchased a Troy Bilt pressure washer from Lowe's with similar specs as the 3100 and the same Honda motor for $399. Not a bad unit, but it comes with a .25 gal fuel tank, which will last about 40 minutes, you can't fill the fuel tank (poor design) with anything other than an one or maybe two gallon fuel can, the 30 ft hose must have been the cheapest thing they could find and cheap, plastic wheels...guess what...it also went back. I then checked back on-line and Sam's was showing the Simpson Power Shot 3200 back in stock for online purchases. (Point being, if you want this unit and Sam's shows it's available online, don't hesitate, buy it. The day after I purchased mine, Sam's was out of stock again.) I now own this Simpson Power Shot 3200. WOW, what a difference! I now understand why the prices jump up so much when considering a 3100 psi unit @ 2.5 gpm vs. a 3200 psi unit w/2.8 gpm. The difference is simply amazing. This monster cut my cleaning time (for concrete) by at least half...and more like 2/3. Bottom line, if you need a serious unit, this by far is the most bang for the buck. After using it for the first time today AND using it's predecessors, I would have gladly paid $200 more for this unit. Please note: The instructions clearly state you must have a water supply that can supply 5 gallons of water per minute. You need to apply that math with this unit. When I first hooked it up to the hose and tested it, it "burped" after a minute or so. I then cracked open the manual, read the water psi and gallon per minute (gpm) requirements, found a spigot that put out 5 gpm and the unit preformed flawlessly. Also, a longer hose will greatly diminish water pressure...just grab a 5 gallon bucket and see if you can fill it up in 60 seconds before you connect it to your unit. Again, this is by far the BEST pressure washer for the $$$. Also, purchase the service agreement for this unit, it's stupid cheap from Sam's and the Simpson's customer service leaves a lot to be desired, especially during this time of year. Cheers!

I just bought this last week and we have already used it for multiple projects around the house, including washing all the pollen off of multiple cars and my motorcycle. It has been great at getting them all clean and road ready. I am ready to use it on other projects around my house.

Upgrading from an electric pressure washer, I was blown away by the power. A slightly longer hose would be nice. The interchangeable nozzles are easy to quickly change for different surfaces (wood vs concrete, etc.). I would highly recommend this pressure washer.

From the second I unboxed this machine I knew it was going to be phenomenal. It’s a beautiful piece of equipment and it performs just as beautifully. I purchased this for my power washing business and it constantly outperforms its price tag. Stop looking and just buy it already.

I received my first sprayer quickly in good condition from FedEx. I followed all the set up instructions and used it for about 1/2 hour cleaning the car. It had great power. Towards the end of using it, it seems to be vibrating more than at first. I put it away in the garage and later noticed all the oil had leaked out of the pump. The owners manual says the pump is filled at the factory and you never have to change or add oil. But on the pump it says to change the oil every 100 hours with 15W-40 oil. I called Sams and they took it back and shipped me another one. I used the new one today and the oil is OK and did not leak. I searched online and found that DeWalt labels this same sprayer with their name and in the DeWalt owners manual it says to change the oil the first 50 hours and then every 500 hours and use 30W oil. I have no idea why no one can agree, but I will change the oil the first 50 hours and every 100 after that and use 15W-40 as that is what is on the pump. The DeWalt manual also says you can tell if there is the correct amount of oil by looking at the clear round plate on the pump and the oil level should be at the dot in the center. The Simpson manual said nothing about the oil level as they said to never mess with the pump oil. So now I am happy with this 2nd unit and feel it is a very good value for the $499 price and free shipping. I gave it only 4 stars for quality as I am still a little leery of the pump.

This thing is big, and heavy. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the typical terrible handle and lance holder. Other than that expected deficiency, setup was easy and started easy, sounds tuned. The power is something you have to get accustomed to when in use.

Just picked this up and got it assembled and running today. Startup was easy and it fired right up. Build quality looks solid and everything feels heavy-duty. Haven't had a chance to run it on a full job yet, but first impression is very positive. Looking forward to putting it to work.

Very powerful and customer service of simpson was great I am glad to buy from sam's and had no issues with it yet and I have washed every where and used it more than 5 times better than my friends 3000 honda much better,if you need one this is it.ty sam's

I bought this a couple weeks ago to replace my broken unit for home/farm use. Great performance without breaking the bank! Easy to operate and small enough to load up in the side by side and transport around the homestead. Love the actual pump versus the lower unit style pumps that fail after a couple of seasons.
