User Reviews
Does not have storage and zero nozzle as previous versions. Their attempt at improvements only resulted in an inferior product.
Very disappointed in this item. Found it easy to use. Found it to be lightweight. But after using it once a year to power wash my porch on the 4th year it would not start. It would briefly run and then stop. Very poor quality and very very poor customer service
