I bought a Chemical Guys foam cannon for my cars and knew I needed a pressure washer for it. The problem is, my pressure washer is a nice, 6HP Honda powered. beast. More washer than I need, and fairly loud. I like to wash the cars early in the morning before the sun comes up and I'm sure the neighbors would love hearing that thing every Sunday at 7 AM.So I went looking for an electric washer. Normally, the cheapos have a crappy washer hose and wand that you can't use regular accessories with. A decent electric unit is over $800 and has only half the pressure/GPM rating of my gas unit. This Chemical Guys unit looked like it was just what I wanted. Small, cheap, used regular Quick Disconnect hardware. But I read the reviews and there was a lot of bad words about the connections cracking and breaking. And water spraying all over the place. But since it said "Free Returns" I figured I'd give it a try.Lets go with the good firstIt's compact and lightIt uses standard QDs for the hose. In fact, I use the hose for my gas washer with it, which is larger diameter and longer. I also can hook it up to a standard pressure washer handle.It puts out enough pressure/water volume to allow you rinse your car off, operate the foam cannon, and rinse the car off.The washer detects when you squeeze the handle and starts the pump automatically. This is really handy because you don't want the pump running when you're not spraying and you don't have to walk over to the box to turn it off. The bad news is that the system still leaks enough that the pressure drops and the pump will run momentarily every 30 seconds or so to keep the pressure up.The not so good:While the unit seems capable enough to operate the foam cannon and rinse, the pluming fixtures are poorly made and look like they'd fail after a short amount of use. Especially bad is the garden hose/filter/quick disconnect that feeds the machine. I had to replace the hose washers and use teflon tape on the threads to keep water from spraying out of the fitting. It still dribbles quite a bit, but it's acceptable. The supplied hose/want works ok, but again is really cheap and I prefer my regular washer gun handle.The pump box is so light, that the weight of the hose constantly causes it to tip over. This does not seem to hurt anything, but because of the cheap plastic construction, I can see some important connector cracking and breaking off eventually.I have no ideal how long this thing will last. When the pump is running, there is a definite smell of something not quite burning, but like it's overheating.Conclusion: I literally took this out of the box this morning and washed 2 cars with it. The first one went pretty slow, but once I got the hang of the foam cannon and the washer, I knocked the second car off fast. There is plenty of pressure and water volume to get the heavy dirt off the paint before applying the foam. My final rinse is with DI water from my Spotless system, and this is nice because it gives a thorough rinse with a minimum amount of water. If I keep this, I'll be buying a metal QD to replace the clear plastic garbage the garden hose hooks up to. It's a pity because if they spent an extra couple of bucks there a lot of the bad reviews you see would not have been written. If I replace that part, I'll also have to find some sort of filter or screen to keep junk from going into the pump. The fact I can use my standard pressure washing hose an hardwire with this unit is a definite plus, and the main reason I rated it a 4. If I were just rating it based on what came in the box, I'd have given it a 2. I'll update this review assuming I don't return it during the return window.I bought this because of the size. It is a very compact and easily organized unit. For 2000psi it does a very good job with a foam cannon and does a half decent job with house hold work. The plastic quick connect is currently spider cracked and now acts as a sprinkler but other then that it works pretty well.Chemical Guys usually produce good products and I have many friends in the auto dealing business that use their products and come highly recommend. Maybe their chemicals but not this pressure washer. Recieved it on the 5th of October and attempted a trial run today on the 7th by doing a light cleaning of my concrete patio. Worked great at first right out the the box and easy set up. And by worked great I mean for the first 20 minutes. Then all it did was hum when trigger pulled and there was no water pressure. All connections & power good with no water restrictions at the hose. Highly disappointed. Amazon was unable to reach anybody in Chemical Guys tech support which is frivolous anyways because its obvious the pump fried. Stay away from this unit until the bugs are worked out or next model comes out. Now I gotta try and box this thing up after being all hooked up and running the best I can to send back. I'll give it 2 stars just for the fact its a wishful thinking design being on casters, mobile, & lightweight. Other than the fact it only lasted twenty minutes it also needs some kind of storage for the hose. Theres nothing on this unit to store the hose on.It was a little had to setup correctly the first time but after talking to customer service I got it working. It's super small and works great even with chemical guys large foam cannon.This is my new favorite toy! I’ve already used it to clean my patio furniture, driveway and front porch. A few days after it arrived, my lil had a small accident in her car seat. Cleaning a car seat is a HUGE pain, so I decided to see if my new pressure washer could make my life easier. It took me less than 10 mins to make my car seat sparkle! I was able to get all the crud out of the nooks and crannies, and the material basically looks brand new! I’ll be doing this on the regular from now on! It’s also quiet and compact, so it’s not a hassle to bring it out to clean.UPDATE: When you turn on the PW is makes a noise for a couple seconds, then turns off. Your machine has NOT FAILED! It has turned off by design to conserve water and energy. Once you unlock the trigger and squeeze, it will work. This confused me for a moment, and it looks like it has confused others as well. Hope that helps!Chemicals Guys really hyped this product by sending me no less than 20 text messages, emails, and videos, so I bought one. It's a great pressure washer and the machine, nozzles, hose are all quality. Quiet, too! The nozzle holder does not stay attached to the pressure washer as designed. Some new thought needs to go into that aspect but overall a good product.This pressure washer is a fantastic value and a breeze to operate. The motor only operates when you depress the trigger and there is plenty of power to clean the car, deck and house siding
