Great power washer...

Honda motor,cat pump,aluminum frame = Superb Simpson power washer. It starts easily and is seriously powerful. I bought my 1st Simpson in 1991...used it commercially for 21 years. Am retired now and wanted a reliable lighter yet powerful machine.The ALH3228-S is just that...

Smooth MACHINE

After filling the fluids and only 2 pulls it started right up has all the pressure you need for the shop and home. I washed a engine on a John Deere tractor with years of grease and oil build up. It came clean with little effort . The wire mesh hose is awesome making it tangle free. The aluminum frame makes it lite and easy to manover

Well made and well packaged

Have only used the washer twice and it works well. Particularly impressed with the care taken in the packaging of the unit. It was clear that the transporting companies had shipped the unit upside down at some point since some oil had leaked out of the pump. However, due to the packaging, the unit did not suffer any ill effects.

Power, and Ease for a beginner!!!

I bought this powerwasher a couple months ago. After the first 20 hours I just did my oil change last night and ran it some more. Im a professional detailer, this machine makes my life a lot easier. The engine is so simple, I can do all of the maintenance myself, even if something were to go wrong I KNOW HOW TO FIX IT.

Small but mighty

I wanted a pressure washer that was powerful enough to do jobs but light enough I could easily lift it into the trunk of my Toyota Prius. I found it in this one! The first time I used it a couple nuts came off and bolts were loose. I was thankfully able to find them in the yard and tighten them up. I only use ethanol free fuel in it. I also upgraded to a longer hose.

Great engine, great pump

the on-line information list the unit at 3,400 PSI. The manual indicates 3,200 PSI and the pump mfg says 3,000 PSI. The actual static pressure is 2,900 PSI The unit needs a un-loader. After 2 pulls to start, there is so much back pressure you have to trigger the gun to get it to start. Very un-safe!

Great pressure washer

I used this once and it worked great. There was some spray foam on the tank and spark plug wire that I had to clean off which wasn’t a big deal. I was a little disappointed to see that Honda change country of mfg. on the motor so I’m hoping it’s bulletproof like the old gx motors. Overall I’m pleased and would purchase again

Good for the size.

Im happy with it. But what I have found is that you have to understand what the GPM is good for. I have another pressure washer that is 20 to 25 years old, because I bought it used 17 years ago. Honda Motor and Cat pump are still going. But it is 4.5 GPM. If your washing down and cleaning a driveway the 4.5 GPM is much better. If you are washing a car, washing down a truck bed, using a small surface cleaner to clean the garage floor, the 2.5 GPM is good. The smaller pressure washer is much more quiet than my larger one. You can not adjust the pressure and it does not have a pressure gauge. But you can use an inline pressure gauge and use larger tips to reduce the pressure. I have 4.5 GPM tips from my other pressure washer and some warn 4.5 GPM tips. So, I can use those for lower pressure.

This is a very good pressure washer

I bought this a couple of months ago. The packing was more than sufficient. I had the normal problems in starting it the first time, once I realized that I had the throttle shut off instead of full on it started and run great. I washed a small building and it performed without a hitch.

The best quality/price unit on the market

I needed a new power washer, and after years of dealing with poor quality Big Box store consumer units with bad pumps and motors that took 10 minutes to start, I went looking for a better solution. First off, the motor. I have several Honda motor products from a track driven snow thrower to an edger trimmer system. They all start on the first pull...I mean ALWAYS. So the Honda motor was a must-have. Next item was the pump. I refused to buy another non-rebuildable pump. After looking at all types of models, it was clear the only pump to go with was the CAT triplex. Last, the frame and wheels. Water causes rust...duhhh...so the idea of an Aluminum frame was exactly the ticket along with pneumatic tires that can be refilled with air after a season of storage. This unit has all of what I think are the minimum requirements for a power washer that you plan on keeping for many years. I was also pleasantly surprised on the quality of the wand and hose, which are both dramatically thicker and stronger than consumer units. The only negative is because the hose is much more rigid, it takes a little getting used to in preventing coil ups. The power is amazing and although I bought the same PSI as my previous unit, this one is far more powerful. (probably more accurate than the consumer version). Don't even consider the "Big Box" version of the Simpson products. They are scaled down and cheapened versions with painted metal frames, lower quality pumps and probably a lot of other cut corners. If you're a homeowner or small business owner, go with this exact commercial grade model and you will not regret it! .
