This was an out-of-box failure. The power switch button is a push-on/push off configuration, but it would not latch in the on position. When I inspected the switch I noted that the button had not been properly installed in the switch housing - one of the three retainers was on the wrong side of the housing rim. This prevented the button from being fully depressed and the mechanical latch was not engaging. It is obvious that Westinghouse is not doing an operational final check before shipping, and even a simple visual inspection would have revealed the improper assembly. I was able to easily fix the problem with the switch myself, but I wonder how many returns are due to Westinghouse's faith-based quality control.

Very easy to assemble. Directions for assembly are very clear and well illustrated. The unit is lightweight and well balanced making moving from one spot to another pretty much effortless. Locking wheels will hold unit in place to avoid drifting or rolling on hills. I used for washing car and it worked extremely well with soap tank and tip.

So far, this has been a great electric pressure washer. I've used it to clean the patio and driveway. Worked very well. Just a warning, the 0 degree nozzle will eat into concrete. So be careful. I am anxious to try it out on my vehicles. If I had one recommendation, please label the nozzles better or color code them in the manual. Other than that, this is a great product.... so far

Ordered August 1 arrived and start August 14 picked up August 16. I started with the fence. The fence hasn’t been cleaned in 12 years. What an awesome unit. Very happy and highly recommended. My fence looks like new, superb! Can’t wait to use on other projects around my home!

This is my first pressure washer so I don't have much to compare it to. So far it has worked fine but it's fair to say I haven't been blown away by its performance. I bought it primarily to clean some brick patios that have been caked in desert dust for a couple decades. My first attempt just using the included tips did not produce a great result -- it took a really long time and I had streaky marks on the deck afterward. I then bought the Westinghouse surface cleaner attachment and cleaned another patio with it. This time it worked much better and was much faster, but still didn't get off all of the caked on dust. I will keep trying. It did a great job cleaning up my mountain bike and gas grill grates/interior. In any case I like the compact size, light weight, and it's all super easy to assemble and use.

Assembly was straightforward, and initial use worked well except for 1 issue - the bottom holster that holds the wand does not stay in place and drops out. There's a tab that looks like it should catch when inserting, but it doesn't catch and then drops out with the weight of the wand. The bigger issue is that on my 2nd and 3rd use, it seems the unit almost has to warm up before the stream is consistently powerful enough to use. It will surge a little and then die, and then repeat. It's frustrating, but the problem goes away after 2 or 3 minutes. I'm not sure if this is normal behavior or not, I haven't looked this up yet. Once it's running consistently the washer does a great job - I've cleaned brick steps, hardwood decking, and metallic patio furniture successfully so far. I haven't used the soap dispenser, but have used 2 of the nozzles with good results.

I received the Westinghouse epx3100v for my birthday in May and I'm just now trying it out in June but it is so easy and convenient started up the first time and I was able to clean a tiller off oil that was everywhere highly recommend this product for ease of use and always starting up every time you need it

Recently purchased this 3500 power washer. Assembly took just a few minutes. I love the way the unit stands in an upright position having 4 dual locking wheels. The attached power cord is heavy duty and is of a sufficient length. The user manual is easy to read (a refreshing change from most manuals these days). Already used it to clean a section of fencing and a garage door. Next up the driveway (removing moss) and back stairs.

Like most things, some assembly but no big deal. Most everyhting fit together intuitively with translating from a foreign language. First use is still waiting but product appears to be well-built and easy (for some other models) for a woman to use. It's also very compact to most any other pressure waqsher.

Used the power washer for the first time this week. Easy to assemble. Clear directions for use. Effectively cleaned my vinyl deck without using chemicals. So far the power washer has performed very well. Am happy with its effectiveness and its price, a good value.
