I received my pressure washer kzitem.infoUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP over the weekend and decided to wait for the sun to come out before firing it up. Was needed to clean the deck. Our last pressure washer broke a couple of seasons ago, and I just hadn't replaced it yet. This one had great comments, so here we are. It was easy to assemble, and the trigger wand is comfortable and easy to hold for long periods of time. The pressure washer worked great and made quick work of the "TN North side algae" that inevitably grows every year. I also washed all of the deck furniture while I was at it... it all looks great! So far I am happy with this purchase. I plan to climb the ladder to wash siding over the next couple of days, will update if I have anything else to add after that!

This particular unit looks to be the one I can get things cleaned up all around outside of the house without spending a lot-although I would take your good advice on the few upgrades for the hose and pressure gun. So glad it’s got such good pressure counts! Thanks for the good tips!

I don't have any problems with the accessories that came with the unit. I use it for cleaning house gutters, siding, garage doors, concrete driveways and sidewalks. I think the rated working pressure is supposed to be 1340 psi and 1750 is the max possible. It says this on the back of the unit. It makes all my concrete white again even if it's got years of oil stains even though the manual says it's not designed for deep concrete cleaning. Ladies and older people will have no problem using this.

Just a heads up. At least on mine, a 2.5 tip will make this pressure washer run EXTREMELY HOT. I didn’t realize it until the wind shifted and I could smell it. This happened during the rinse after the foam application. I don’t think it moves enough water to keep it cool. Unless I just got a lemon. Just something to pay attention to.

Or should you turn off the water source? Just wondering if it’s bad on the water system or the pressure washer if it’s left on with water flowing to the machine without the trigger being squeezed.

The portland pressure washer works good. The only draw back i experienced out of box was gun safety button did not work fixed it myself also if you plan to use other guns with it expect to buy new hose,quick release adapters new gun and the nozzles for it some thread sealing tape. You can get the quick release new wand at hf tools.adapters ,gun & nozzles at home depot or lows. The portland pressure washer is not universal with standard pressure washers. The gun and hose in this kit are garbage but dont throw them away you will need them for now. Until you upgrade hose,gun i spent 200.00 more than i wanted to with my portland pressure washer. Just making people aware of this before buying it funny how nothing on utube lets you know this.

I'm torn between several units, just not sure what direction to go....a lot of people seem to be having problems with the Active units. How do you think this HF stacks up against the Active 1650? The HF would have extended warranty and its local if it needs exchanging. It looks like the HF flowed half a qt more with 1100psi vs 800psi, so that's nice, but theres other things like loudness, ease of use, not having it break every time I use it hahaha.
