I've had this unit for just under 3 years now so think I can give it an honest review. First, the good. It's cheap, very portable and usable on most houshold circuits without blowing fuses every 20 seconds (as it draws 13 amps max). It does a nice job of cleaning lawn furniture, BBQ's, siding etc within it's limits. ( It won't reach the peak on a 1 story home without use of a ladder.) The bad: It's cheaply built with plastic being used extensively for ALL the water fitting parts and wand assembly. It leaks a little no matter how hard you (dare to) tighten. The wand itself is intergrated with the hose and cannot be replaced seperatly like with most brands. In fact, I'm having to trash this unit this week becasue the swagged hose to wand connection blew a leak and I can't find a replacement part on line. Additionally, one of the wand tips is frozen/ no longer works. Given I only used the machine for 1/2 dozen hourse /year, for 3 years, this was disapointing. Total failure and no reasonable way to fix it.Summery: The power of this machine is OK for houshold work but the wand/hose section is poorly built. I think I'll buy a brand with better product support this time around.
