POWERWORKS 1800 PSI (1.2 GPM) Pressure Washer, PWA104

Works well cleaning my house and walk ways. Nice and sturdy when I pull on the hose, unlike the top heavy types.

easy to use by a older female , appears to have plenty power to complete any cleaning of house or sidewalks/patio

I am excited to use this thing. It's female friendly, in that it's light enough for me to pick and and carry without having to get a second set of hands on it. I went with the 1800 PSI option, which is plenty enough for me. My house has vinyl slats and just water alone is helpful at knocking the crud off.I also have paved sidewalks running by where I'm in a small town, so the sidewalks occasionally get weeds and dirt built up on them. I've enjoyed this so far. It's easy to plug and use right out of the box.I have decent water pressure and this helps build it up even more because I have to connect my water hose to it and then the machine does the pressurizing part for me. Some things to consider are what you plan on using it for. My use of cleaning the car makes 1800 great because it won't knock anything off that I don't want knocked off, and it's still got enough oomph to clean up the sidewalks and spray off the fall leaves when they start to fall and stick. It also does a decent job of getting the suit off the vinyl siding.Putting it together was quick, although I did notice the instructions showed what appeared to be two washers per wheel. It's actually a piece that goes on with the wheel on one side and a washer on the other so you can then put the pin in. The pin was a little stiff, but that's probably good for safety and stability. It was easy enough to put together with one person.I like the large wheels on one side and the walker feature on the other. It means it won't roll away if I get carried away spraying things down. The cord is long so I had no issues stretching it out to the car from our house plug - it does say right on it that extension cords are not recommended so keep that in mind with how your outlets are designed and if you have outside plugs.The nozzle also have a long hose so that gives me a few extra feet too, but again, I have plugs so no issue here. The nozzle unhooks so I can drain it out all the way, and the water hose fit right on the machine without any issues. Make sure you hook up your water hose with your water off so you don't spray water out the back, and make sure to hook up the trigger too so water doesn't just leak out the machine. These steps could save your machine and a headache. So, turn off water, hook up hose, hook up nozzle/trigger, turn on water, turn on power button, and wait 30 seconds before attempting to spray. The instructions said to give it 30 seconds to build up.It worked at first spray. It's kind of a mixture of a spray beam and a swirl beam, but works out really well. I had fun using and breaking it back down was easy. It'll store nicely in the garage. I did have my spouse outside with me because who can resist a fun new tool? I honestly feel like the pressure is better on this than the nozzle at the car wash and overtime it'll be more economical too.

Was looking forward to using this pressure washer. Plugged it in . Ran water through power washer hose to get air out for a minute. Turned on Moyer/pump it ran for 19 minutes and stopped. It wouldn’t reset or restart. When the pump started making noise it sounded like there was something stuck or burning out. Anyway, really bummed out

The Powerworks 1800psi power washer is decent, but doesn’t have the greatest build quality. It’s more basic, so I found it best for small power washing projects. It worked well for cleaning some mud off of car tires, small concrete areas like a porch or a patio, but an entire driveway would take a long time with this. The assembly of the handle and wheels were easy, and attaching the hose was simple enough…in total it took about 10 minutes to assemble. If you have basic power washing needs, this will do the trick, but if you’re trying to tackle big projects, I would choose a more powerful model. It can definitely be useful if you're looking for a budget model.

My husband tried the Powerworks 1800 psi pressure washer today and was very impressed. When I asked him how he would rate it, he said 5 stars. He has only ever said that about 1 other product and told me then that as far as he is concerned, 5 stars means 'run out and buy it'.We have a 3600 psi gas powered pressure washer but it is old and one of the wheels is damaged. It is difficult to move, both because of the wheel and the weight, and using it is a dirty, messy job. My husband uses it only when something absolutely needs to be done, and then it is an ordeal. Usually he does not think highly of electric lawn and garden equipment. It seldom has either the power or mobility of the comparable gas powered device. While this pressure washer is half as powerful as our old one, it is powerful enough for most of what we need it for, and is a lot more pleasant to use. You do not wind up filthy, and are not breathing gas fumes. It also is lighter and a lot more maneuverable.He used the turbo head to clean moss off of our driveway and said he could use the 75 degree head on our brick walkway, which is plagued by weeds since someone took a shortcut with the riding mower and scattered seed across it. He had previously spent days with a hoe and a propane torch (because a friend who is a landscaper said we could knock the weeds out that way). We did, but they came right back. In this case the lower power of the Powerworks makes it a better tool for the job. It will not dislodge bricks or wash out the sand they are laid in (due to the angle of the head, and the lower pressure). It comes with another head which holds soap which is god for washing car, though we will likely be using it on the house as well. It is one of those things which come with living in the rain forest. Things grow on your house, vines, fuingus, mold... none of it desireable.My husband commented that electricity and water do not mix, but that this was very well designed and made, well sealed all around so that was not an issue. He also think it is a very reasonable price (and he is the one who boughht our other pressure washer).IOt is pretty odd to hear him talk so glowingly about a pressure washer. I think it is the job he hates the most, but he spent the afternoon cleaning the driveway and the walkway, when those were projects which were not strictly necessary. I think I could become pretty fond of this pressure washer too.
