Appears to be a well constructed piece of equipment of good quality. It has a Honda engine that I have great success with on other power equipment. It is very stylish and the color (basic black with silver accent) compliments my other equipment . I hope this helps those considering a power washer..

Fantastic pressure washer, only problem is that the needle/seat doesn't seal so it drains the tank into the cylinder and I had to remove the plug and pull the rope to get all the gas out then from that point on I have to close the fuel shut-off valve every time I stop the engine.

Brace yourself before you pull the trigger, this baby will knock you on your butt. I am able to rinse 3 story gables from the ground with just the 30” extension. My 12’ extension wand and the soap nozzle applies the solution to that height. I added a 5000 psi gauge and, sure enough, I get 4400 psi with the Simpson motor using a 100’ hose. The pull cord location is a little awkward. The entire unit wants to turn as you pull. I put my foot on the wheel to hold it still but watch that you don’t damage the valve stem like I did. I wish it had an optional battery starter, I’m in good shape and I have to pull real hard for a one-pull start. When shutting it off, bring the wand back to the machine with you because you need to pull the trigger to release pressure if it doesn’t start on the first pull. The unit is well balanced and easy to roll up a ramp into my van. This unit paid for itself with one job. Of corse it was a big place...

I bought this pressure washer as a starter unit for my pressure washer business. This pressure washer is very powerful. The hose is very well made however it is quite difficult to handle since it is steel braided. The Wand is of top quality. When it comes to starting, the motor starts almost instantly and it can hold a high rev for a very long period of time.

After a long and arduous delivery debacle, the unit arrived with cosmetic damages to the gas tank, I followed the initial fluid and start up procedures, by the book. The unit worked great for a while. I initially changed the pump and engine oil at 40- 50 hours, checked that the spark plug and air filter were in good condition. The unit worked relatively well after that....for the time that it did work. I used it for about 80 hours total and, while washing a livestock trailer, the AAA pump started grinding and releasing pump oil out of the water discharge and the motor would not stay running. This after it sat unused and idle for a couple of months. I performed the long term storage and winterization procedures to the letter and the unit worked well the first couple of times I used it. It was good at first and then it seemed to just fall apart....

I choose the 4240H because of the Honda GX390 motor and this unit can handle a 20 inch BE surface cleaner. My spouse wanted to use it to clean our brick house. Well, it's a bit to powerful for her 110 lb frame. The "kickback" when she pulls the trigger almost knocks her over, but she has learned to handle it. I recommend you buy from a local store because mine had a few dents from the UPS guys. You may have to pay an extra$20.

This machine is more expensive than the one it replaces but has some better features like a chrome or maybe it's SS gas cap. My old machine had a cheap carbon steel one that rusted very soon after purchase. This one runs well I just hope the pump doesn't explode like my last one.

I had no previous expereince with pressure washers. The purchase of the PS60843 was my first experience. The packaging was good, the labeling and literature was good. I felt the literature could have discussed/identified the pressure offloader and the thermal offloader some more. After about 2 hours of using the unit, water started leaking out from the pressure offloader valve (I think it is). This is the brass spring loaded valve pointing downwards on the water output. I thought this is how the valve should operate, but the leak was costant, even when the engine was shut off. The leak caused the engine to pulse when the trigger was not depressed. I then checked the valve and it needed tightening. This should have been tightened at the factory and should not have come loose after 2 hours of use. However, this was a minor inconvenience. The engine starts well, if you turn down the pressure regulator to the lowest, and trigger the wand to release pressure. If the engine did not start after two firm pulls, depress the wand trigger again to release the pressure. I would like to have seen a simple fuel level indicator. Currently you have to remove fuel filter from the fuel tank and look inside. This should be fairly easy, but the filter has no real way to be held on too and lifted out without getting jammed against the surfaces of the tank surrounding it. Removing the filter is actually a very delicate and somewhat timely exercise. I made a wire hook to lift the filter out. It is simple and works, but another factory supplied method would have been nice.Perhaps a transparent fuel hose from the tank would be a good indicator. The lowest pressure I was able to get is 2000 PSI. I ran the unit at 3500PSI, but I could have gotten 4,000 or more. I did not want to max out the unit as it is new....break it in slowly. I am yet to play with adjusting the engine trottle using the supplied lever, and see if the pressure would decrease. I have not used the unit since, but will in a few days time. I cannot comment on reliability as yet, but sure hope this unit is reliable....very reliable. Overall, as of now, I believe this is an excellent unit. I am so far pleased with it. Would I purchase it again, yes.

I bought this to drive a General Pump Hammerhead 20" surface cleaner. That think was floatin' like a hovercraft. If you need the pressure and can afford it, get the Honda. I never cranked it that it didn't start on the first pull INCLUDING the very first start.

I bought this pressure washer a few weeks ago. I was hesitant about buying it with Simpson engine rather than Honda but the Simpson engine starts easily and runs fantastic With 4400 PSI, you can clean anything in no time especially with the 4500 PSI Simpson turbo nozzle. This is a Great pressure washer. Took about 5 minutes to assemble and put in supplied oil.
