Was looking to get a new pressure washer for a while. My old one finally gave out and was lucky to get this one on sale. It was really easy to put together. Pretty much two screws, pour in oil, connect hoses,turn on water and you are good to go. First start was concerning since it ran for 5 seconds and died. Started up again same issue. Took choke off and it ran. This is a noticeably more power than my old 2600psi one. It clean the driveway and fence with ease. So why only 3 stars. Well the spray gun trigger was noticeably harder to pull than my old one which was an aftermarket brand. I decided to use my old one with made it much easier. My biggest problem was going to shut the machine off. I go to turn the fuel lever from on to off, still running. Tried it a few more times. No change. So I decided to turn it off using the switch. It turned off but gave me a surprise when it backfired a little flame from the exhaust. I continue to use it to finish my project and each time I shut it off. There's some backfire. Make sure you read the yellow paper that comes in the box. There's number on there for warranty issues. I called them and was told that if the repair shop deems the problem is not a manufacturing issue I will have to pay for the repair. Which was not what I expected with a product that I bought 2 months ago. Now I'm deciding on returning or taking it to warranty repair shop. I like that is powerful and easy to move around but kind of disappointed with the customer support. By the way, Sams didn't offer me an exchange. They only offer a refund and rebuy. I didn't want to because the item is no longer on sale.
