Very Happy With This Pressure Washer
By Mike B.
Amherst, New York
Purchased 11/08/2014 |
Review Posted 07/19/2017
This pressure washer has exceeded my expectations for home use. We've used it to wash our cars, vinyl siding, and deck - and have successfully cleaned all of them without using any detergent!
The unit is easy to start and easy to use. The nozzles included have so far covered everything application we've needed.
There is one main drawback: the unit is light, mostly plastic, and mounted on large wheels - this makes it easy to move, but it tends to "walk around" when the compressor is running. If you're not paying attention, this can lead to the unit actually running over and cutting the high-pressure hose! (That was my wife - not me. Really, I swear...) I avoid this problem now by using logs or concrete blocks to hold it in place.

Bought this based on reviews. So far I am not impressed. Getting ready to take in for service the second time.
First time just after getting it with probably about 3 hours of running it developed a high pressure water leak.
Now with about 12 and no more than 15 hours of use on it, there are times it does not have pressure and the stop switch does not work.

Good Solid Machine

This model has plenty of power for the typical homeowner. Does a good job of cleaning the boat bottom after it has been in the water for a few weeks.

Excellent Pressure
By Mark G.
South Bend, Indiana
Purchased 06/08/2016 |
Review Posted 07/06/2016
Fairly easy to use.
The connection to the water supply is in a tricky place on the machine, but not a big problem. Easy interchangeability of the nozzles is a big plus. Excellent pressure and easy-to-use wand. The pressure hose frequently gets in the way of the wheels when moving the machine.

Double 5 Star Rating !
By David B.

Purchased 05/31/2016 |
Review Posted 07/04/2016
The first 5 star rating goes to the Generac # 6596. Great unit. From unpacking to set - up, and on to using it, everything went flawlessly.
Product arrived without a scratch, very well packaged. Set - up went without a problem, everything was included and went together perfectly. Start up was the best, followed all the instructions. Added oil & gas and on the second pull it was going.
I have used it for approx. 15 hrs an have no problems what so ever, and it has always started on the 1st pull- amazing! I don't believe there is a better product for the price available elsewhere.
The second 5 stars goes to Pressure Washer Direct. From when I placed my order to when it arrived everything went great. I would also like to add that the price and customer follow up was second to none.
A great job by Pressure Washer Direct. Thank You.

The Real Deal ...
By Jim C.

Review Posted 06/27/2016
Totally satisfied with my purchase and the quick handling of my order by PED (arrived at my door 2 days before the expected delivery date).
This power washer came highly recommended in the reviews I researched, the unit not only met but exceeded my expectations. The engine starts the first time and every time, the pump is reliable, powerful and the water connections/header is located for easy access.
I would recommend this unit to a friend looking for the top end of affordable equipment.

Hard to Assemble
By Jennifer L.
Old chatham, New York
Purchased 05/30/2016 |
Review Posted 06/21/2016
I found the directions somewhat difficult, although I see that others didn't have this problem!
Once I got it figured out, it did a terrific job and has tremendous pressure. It took years of black mildew and moss and gunk off of the old brick steps and they look as if they're brand new!!
Some people reviewing this model say that it's really loud, but I actually disagree. In fact, I've used MUCH louder pressure washers!

This machine went together quickly and started on the 2nd pull. Strong cleaning power for my deck and driveway- the chemical cleaner worked perfectly on the deck. No problem with hoses melting like others have reported. Small storage footprint.
Overall, a very nice purchase!

Great Purchase ( So Far)

Review Posted 06/06/2016
This was a quick delivery, simple installation out of the box. Started on first pull, works great.
Used it five times so far with zero issues. Easy to maneuver around. Plenty of pressure to do jobs around home, siding, bird bath, chairs, driveway,etc.
Well designed, just need to be careful hoses stays away from engine.
