I have only been able to use this twice because it's getting close to winter. The times I have used it, I am very happy with the power and the engine/pump combo. My one gripe that would probably get me to rate it at 4.5 stars is the hose being so stiff. Especially on the colder day, it was a lot to wrestle but I keep telling myself that will make it last longer. Hopefully, that's the case.

I bought this to replace my old power washer of many years and I wish I would have traded up sooner. This unit starts perfectly and everything works perfectly. The only problem for me is that I am in my sixties and the unit is very powerful, to help with this I bought the extra handle grip to use and being able to use two hands makes it a lot better.

Worth spending more to get a commercial grade pump and honda engine. This unit should last a very long time assuming you take good care with it. I wanted at least a 4gpm pump so i can clean faster. One thing to keep in mind is to turn off motor if not spraying for more than 1 minute. This will greatly add longevity to your pump life.

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.

More power than I need, had a hard time holding wand from recoil... take the crome off a trailer hitch!!! had to turn down the volume on this one pressure is off the hook! Great machine, no issues yet. Works like a champ! Very pleased and would recommend this unit to all...

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.

I’ve been pressure washing houses for about 10 yrs. This is the best washer I have bought. It also comes at a good price. I have had no problem with the Simpson motor. I couldn’t pay for the overpriced Honda motor. From my experience Honda makes a good motor but the pressure washer usually wears out before any motor I’ve ever had. This washer has so much power it is hard to hold onto if you have it at full psi. It does adjust, but does not have a gauge. I just bought a new gauge to see how much power it actually has with my 150 ft hose. Great product, easy to start.

The first time I used this unit, oil began leaking from the pump. Tractor Supply stepped up and promptly replaced it with a new one. I have since used the new unit for approximately 10 hours total with no problems. I mostly use it attached to a 20" surface cleaner. I wouldn't go any larger than that. The only draw back is the filter at the bottom of the fuel tank is long and points straight up. So, while the tank has a little fuel in it, it will stop running. It's not a big deal. You just have to understand how it works. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a powerful pressure washer. I did add on a quick connect pressure guage, and it does put out 4400 psi. I dialed it back just a little under that. The only reason for the 4 stars is because of the pump leaking and the way the fuel filter is designed. Just fill it with ethanol free fuel so you don't have to worry about ethanol issues and you'll be fine. I only noticed the filter characteristic in the unit because I tried to put just a little fuel in it to test it out. I simply wasn't putting in enough. Also, people tend to skip the 5 star reviews to see what potential issues there are. Glad I bought it. Great price. Not a Honda engine, but the price is also lower because of that. At this time it has the most power for the money.

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 purchased this unit recently and used it for a couple days. It is very powerful and exceeded my expectations. The engine started with a couple pulls and I had no operational issues. The hose is very heavy duty but is somewhat cumbersome to use. The wand was great and nozzles met my expectations. The one area of improvement could be the hose.
