User Reviews
used once – it died days after the warranty was up – get what you pay for. Cheap piece of garbage
It works ok but why can’t I find nozzles to fit my gun? Now the unit is useless!!!
I like my power washer. You can turn the nozzle to get more power. I was washing dome moss off the tar by garage and nozzle must of blow off can not find it. I’ve looked had a friend come look. No luck hoping Harbor Freight can help me with a new part
Sadly I bought it new very excited power sprayed the deck had to keep it real close inch by inch took forever it did the job that’s the only time I used it put it away for the winter pull it out to just rinse off a window it didn’t have hardly any power for being brand new used once it was worse than a garden hose you had to have it right up against something otherwise it was just a week low pressure stream or mist. I’m going to try an old ring kit tonight but I feel that using something once it should still be new.
