1573001 pressure power washer,
January 6, 2009
By JohnPineapple
from Sebastian, Fl
"Purchased above washer 12/28/08. Have used it a total of 16 hours over 3 days. It does the job of cleaning gutters, fascia, stucco, driveway after 5 years of grime buildup in east central Florida near the coast. I am a snowbird, and will only use the washer in the fall and late spring each year. Was looking for a very good electric unit. Finally found this unit afer much search. This is the lowest price unit that uses a triplex pump using an electric motor. Beware, this unit draws 14.9 amps when running the sprayer, but only half that when idle and not spraying. I will be inserting a tee where the overpressure bypass is and adding a pressure gage to monitor degradation of pressure with time.
This is a nice small unit, easy to move around, quiet when operating, and no gas or carb to worry about after 6 months of storeage. Fortunately, I already had a 100 ft 12 gage extention cord which allows me to move it arround the outside of the house. Did not used the chemical siphon, and will plug that hole next. Instead, I used a 15:1 mixture of Simple Green HD Pro(purple) in my 2 gallon hand pressure sprayer, coated the surfaces, let it sit for 3 minutes, then used the power washer to clean off the surface. Comes off very clean. Did the same with mold on the driveway. Had to finish the whole driveway to match the clean color. Only problem is now I can see the mud being tracked in from the street when we use the driveway.

1700 psi Electric Power Washer,
November 17, 2008
By kmomaha
from Nebraska
"Washer works fine for washing cars, general cleaning of concrete floors, and house walls. Also worked great for degreasing a lawn mower transaxle, and for stripping paint in conjunction with application of paint stripping chemical.
Soap solution siphon quit working after about 4 uses, but could only be used at low pressure anyway, which isn't of much help."
