I bought this power washer to replace an 18 year old power washer that gave up the ghost after a rebuild or two. This Simpson power washer is an upgrade in every possible way. The gas cap is in an easy to fill location, it has a great Honda motor, and the pump is beefy. So glad I got this. The only negative is the oil cap/tank is in a tight location unless you have a tall skinny funnel.

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.

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.

This is my first pressure washer, first time i have ever used one. Instructions were easy to follow and had it up and running in no time. I cleaned a 30yd long asphalt driveway and a fair sized mold stained patio deck the first weekend with no problems. The delivery i thought was very quick. I was looking for something with a Honda engine and a triplex pump and this the best price i could find.

In my book, there is no better pressure washer made. There are many sizes depending on the purpose, but the Simpson 3300PSI is the best all around for both general and business use. I have owned a construction company for 10 yrs and have used many pressure washers, nothing compares to this thing. I absolutely love it and will not use anything else.

This is the best power washer made for the money. The same power washer sold at Lowe's for $250.00 more than what I paid at Sams Club. Suggestion, buy one with a Triplex pump, the cheaper pump will go out long before the engine let you down. My PW is 3200psi Gpm 2.8 They even delivered to my house for a few dollars, I order on line.

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 ordered thisSimpson pressure washer online from Sam's Club and received it last week on time and in perfect condition. I chose this washer based on extensive on line research regarding its reported quality and Sam's excellent price (well below others). Since then I have used it to clean up my concrete and brick patio, walks and driveway that have not been pressure cleaned in almost 20 years. So far it has been run for about 6 hours. It had plenty of power for even the tough 20 year old dirt and mildew and the concrete looks nearly new again. The Honda engine starts easily with one pull. It is not exceptionally loud but it is a gasoline engine and hearing protection is recommended. This unit includes 5 quick connect nozzles but does not include a rotating turbo nozzle like some other brands so I bought one separately. These nozzles are not cheap ($50) but they are fantastic at speeding up the cleaning. I highly recommend purchasing one of these if you will use it for concrete and brick cleaning. The quality and build seem to be excellent but only time will tell how well it will last so at this time I can only give it 4 stars for quality. From my research I expect it to hold up well. Overall I am very pleased with this unit.

I purchase two of these units with one eventually will be given to my sister. I am going to try to write the review and rate each major components of the pressure washer as I always find it useful when reading other reviews in this format. I am not a pressure washer pro, the review is based on my two units that I purchased and looking at other reviews as well as other reviewer's comments. Price: I thought the price for the unit is excellent. Both Amazon and Sam's Club sell for $499. Although I am not sure why the model number sold by Sam's Club is PS3228-S vs regular PS3228 sold by amazon and other stores. Many other stores sells the unit for about $750. An email to Simpson regarding the two model version was never answered. I give the PS3228 a five star for price. Engine: The engine is a Honda GX200. I think its the entry level commercial engine. The spark plug on each of the two units I purchase is different. One is a Denso and the other one is a NGK. Both are equally good in my opinion and a Japanese spark plug in a Japanese engine makes much sense to me. As the mechanic "ETCG" on youtube said "the Engineers design the whole engine around the spark plug". There are two more small differences on my two unit with regard to the engine. on the top of the fuel tank there are two wide grooves or indentations. One of my unit the groove faces the left wheel while the other unit it faces the front of the engine. The other variance is the knob for the air filter, one is metal and the other one is hard plastic. These variances is also visible when I looked at the pictures of the GX200 on the Honda small engine website. I give the engine five star and is also mainly the reason I purchase the units. Internet research showed the Retail price of the Honda GX200 engine alone is about $350 to $450 with shipping. Tractor Supply sells it for $440. I give the engine five stars simply its a Honda. Frame: The frame is very nice. Feels sturdy and strong. I am 5'9" and its about the right height for me. I think for someone 6' or taller may find the unit low. However this can be fixed by adding couple pipes to the vertical handle. Many people complained the nozzles pops out of their holders when the engine is running. I personally did not experience this but if it did, It would not be much of a problem. Just put it in the plastic bag or something. I gave the frame four stars due to other many reviews regarding the nozzle coming out of the holders. Pump: This is the component that I find why the unit sold for $499. The pump is a AAA "Industrial triplex with powerboost" which I do not know what that means but all I know are the following facts. It is my understanding that "CAT" or "GENERAL" makes the best pressure washer pumps. I did an online research and found the CAT pump that is compatible with the GX200 sells for about $350 retail. So one can do the math. One website listed the AAA pump for about $226. As other as mentioned, The oil filled at factory in the pump is low. The owners manual says the oil level should be at the center of the pump "window". I had to add two more oz to each of the pumps on both units to get the oil level to be at the center of the pump "window". The Owner's manual indicated the pump oil capacity is 6.5 oz but the label on the pump itself indicates 8 oz. I wonder if this is why there was a 2 oz short. If 6.5 oz is correct capacity then why did the owner's manual said the oil level should be at the middle of the pump window then it would take 8oz? so which one is right? 8oz or 6.5 oz? The other thing that I dislike about the pump is that it indicated to use 15W-40 oil. This grade of pump oil can not be found anywhere at HD or Lowes or any local hardware stores near me. Whats interesting is the Dewalt owner's manual for the DXPW3228 which is the same pressure washer as the PS3228 indicated nothing about 15W-40 but You can use any pump oil or a non-detergent 30W oil. The pump on the Dewalt model is the same as the PS3228 and the label on the pump for the Dewalt indicated to use 15W-40 so another controversy(I actually went to Home Depot and physically looked at the Dewalt unit and the pump). I finally found out the pump oil that goes with this pump is the Karcher 15W-40 part number 6.288-050.0 which is not sold anywhere near me. The retail price plus shipping is about $20 per liter online for this oil. One bottle of this oil can probably last 4 oil changes. For many of us, one or two bottle is probably all is needed for the life of the pump. I gave the pump a two stars simply because I know its the not the best pump in the market and the 15W-40 oil plus the contradiction on the owner's manual resulted for the two stars. If its not for the price of the unit at which I got it for, I would rate the pump a one star. Hose and Wand: The hose is 25 feet. I find this is sufficient for me but many complained that the quality is not that good and too short. The wand is ok in my opinion. The hose connectors are not "quick" connectors. But to me, its not a big deal. I rate the hose and wand four stars based on other reviews and my personal opinion. Other Thoughts: The unit came with a bottle of engine oil. Both of my units had residual gas in the fuel tank as well as residual oil in the engine. This is due to the manufacturer testing the units. You can due a search online for Dewalt machine and there is short video on "how the pressure washers are made" which did showed the manufacturer tested the units before its ready for sale. Overall its a good unit and I am just not sure how long the pump will last. As a reviewer of the Dewalt unit mentioned that the engine will outlast the pump for sure. Simpson's Customer service and warranty services from what I gather reading of other reviews is that its poor.

I've used my pressure washer about 10 times and probably has 20-30 hours on it. This week the pump broke! I think I've had it for over 3 years, so the pump warranty has expired. The pressure washer cost about $530 and the pump alone is over $300 without labor. I had another Honda pressure washer for 20 years and it never failed, but the pump was different. I gave it to my neighbor and it still works. I bought this one for more pressure. Worked great for about 20 hours. If anyone from Sams would like to help you can reach out to me . Thanks!
