This is a great machine. Strong enough to clean concrete (get a surface cleaner, it will save you hours and clean much better too). But be careful with cars and homes. I bought a 40° tip with a 4.0 oriface to greatly reduce pressure. The supplied tips have a 3.0 oriface (hole size that water passes through) and produce enough pressure to cause damage to soft items if you're too close. The 4.0 is soft enough but flows a lot of water! Excellent for cleaning! You can use the 3.0 tips for everything, just be mindful that if you get too close, you'll remove the paint or siding. It might be vapor lock causing difficult hot restarts. Whatever, the pull rope is WAY too short. Buy a cheap replacement lawn mower pull rope and install that in place of the supplied one. It's super easy, 3 small bolts and the whole housing removes. Plenty of videos online show how. You'll go from 3' to over 5' of pull, enough to get it running when hot. Before I did this, I couldn't get it to restart either. Now it's easy. Open the wand valve to release water pressure first, then pull. The rope I bought is thinner so more length will go on the spool. Works fine and is a must-do IMO. Make sure you NEVER run it without a strong water supply going through the pump. I run water through the hose to purge air first, then connect to the washer, then run water for a minute to make sure air is purged from the pump, then start it. If the pump runs dry, eventually it won't make good pressure anymore and you'll need to replace it, and it's costly. Don't let it idle for long periods. I limit myself to about 30 seconds. If I need more time, I shut the washer off. Since I now have a long pull rope, it starts reliably when hot every time now. Make sure you are using Pump Saver anti freeze and lubricant. Spray a shot when finished after using to keep the pump lubricated. Spray a lot in the pump before winter storage so you don't have water freezing in your pump. An easy pull on the rope will circulate it. Any washer can make pressure. What cleans well and cleans quickly is water flow. The big machines flow big. That's why I bought one instead of a small electric one. Using that 4.0 oriface tip to wash my cars puts a lot of water out with no danger of harming the paint. Cleans fast and well! I bought a second-story nozzle kit and was able to wash my 2 story home very well while standing on the ground. It came out very clean and free of mold. Use pool bleach with 1/4 cup laundry detergent for each gallon, spraying it with the washer. Let it sit 5 -10 minutes but don't let it dry! Then rinse. This is a great machine. I really like this washer. There are factory service centers around, and some parts (like the pump) are available. I think that's where this company stands out from others. It has more than paid for itself with all I've cleaned at home. My wife is really happy. Therefore, so am I lol.
