I originally bought a less powerful model from another manufacturer. I wasn't pleased and set out to get a better power washer for my home. I checked many models, features, and cost. The Simpson PS4240 is the bomb -- by far the best product and cost. Has the power to do any job and the durability to last a long time.

I read a lot of reviews before buying this unit and Simpson's reputation as a leader in building these played a key role in my finally selecting this unit. I might have overdone it; the thing is a BEAST of a machine. With normal proper care, I'm assuming this will end up going to my grand kids. 4400 PSI will blow away anything you need to blow away. The whole unit is strong, big motor and the AAA pump is one of the best out there. Engine may be Chinese, but they may have learned a thing or two by now, it looks like a quality-built unit & it started on the 2nd pull. The hose is as stiff as a steel cable - guess that's what you need to hold 4400 PSI. One drawback is that once the engine runs, it tends to vibrate around in circles when placed on concrete or flat surface. I have to place it on the ground/grass to hold it in place. Those are about the only negatives. Make sure power is what you want, because if you are looking to get this unit, that's exactly what you'll get!

I picked up machine yesterday and tried a few attempts to start it up. The machine did not start up the first few times. I decided to try starting it with the choke lever in run and it started right up. I have no idea why. The choke is supposed to be closed. After started it up i decided to test it and i believe it worked fine. Just a bit worried about weather the choke lever is backwards or something. Just hoping run is run and choke is choke

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.

So far I had the power washer for approximately two weeks. It works great! I did all around the house and it made it look like new. One day we were Bar-B-Qing and some grease got on my porch. The best day I pulled out the power washer and it came off. It’s easy to set up and use, even on small jobs.

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.

The Simpson PS60843 is a great machine I couldn't be happier with it, our building exterior has never looked better. The first two days we had it we ran it 8+ hr non stop and not a is single problem. The PW is quiet and has plenty of power, the 4400 PSI is great. We rented a sidewalk attachment to see if it was worth the cost and it was a great time saver and we will buy one in the next few months. If i have any complaint it is the two feet at the back of the cart they are wearing down quite fast.. The vibration of the unit on ruff concrete is no match for the hard rubber but I don't know what you could put their instead that wouldn't leave a mark on your sidewalks. all in all I love it and am very happy with it.

I went with Simpson on the recommendation of a friend since he already had a Simpson. I really am glad that I took his advice. I already had a smaller power washer from another manufacturer but was having an issue with it and decided to purchase a new unit. I also wanted to purchase one that was a little more powerful. I couldn't be more pleased with my selection. The Simpson completed the patio cleaning job in half the time that it took me with my previous washer. Thanks Simpson.

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'm beyond pleased with the performance and value of the PS4240 I recently purchased. The level of quality of the pump and the Honda engine is outstanding. The adjustable regulator is a great feature - and a key reason I bought this unit. I think Simpson should make more of a point that this feature exists, it does not receive adequate mention in your online info. I'm looking forward to years of service from this unit. I also purchased the SIMPSON Universal 15 Inch Surface Scrubber when I ordered the washer. This is an incredible accessory and a must-have for floors and driveways! Keep up the good work Simpson!
