I needed a power washer to clean resins from a sweet gum tree off the siding, AC cover, sidewalk, and other surfaces that had collected sap for many years. This one had received good reviews and it seemed an appropriate power for my use, but I still had a little trepidation over its ability. Well, I got over them quickly. This thing works! It's even kinda fun. I find myself looking for things to clean with it.
Depending on the surface being cleaned, the washing may take several minutes of blasting or it may be instantaneous. The vinyl siding took longer than I expected, and I experienced a lot of splashing in the face before I learned not to point the wand up and perpendicular to the wall, but it eventually restored the original color. Concrete, brick, and asphalt surfaces gave up their grime easily. I had forgotten what my patio looked like when it was new.
I have used the washer three times for about eight hours total, so I can't rate the long-term reliability. Perhaps I'll amend this review next year.
Others have mentioned the recessed hose connection on the body of the washer, and I agree that it would be a real pain to use. I strongly recommend a quick-connect.
I must comment on Amazon's shipping service. I placed my order at 12:40 AM on a Friday and received immediate confirmation. At 11:30 AM the same morning, I got notice that the item had shipped, and it was delivered to my door before noon on Saturday. That's roughly 35 hours from order to receipt.
