SIMPSON Cleaning PS3228 PowerShot 3300 PSI Gas Pressure Washer, 2.5 GPM, Honda GX200 Engine, Includes Spray Gun and Extension Wand, 5 QC Nozzle Tips, 5/16-inch x 25-foot MorFlex Hose, 49-State

2024:I've had this model since 2013 now. Little to no issues other than a sticky piston valve assembly which is common and is an easy fix once you know that's the cause of little water pressure. Some summers I use it, some I don't at all and it starts right up thanks to the Honda engine. I may go 2-3 yrs not using it. The pump still is working strong. There is a reason Simpson still sells this SAME model and uses the SAME parts a decade later. I should change the oil regularly but honestly as much as this washer sits and isn't routinely maintained it's amazingly reliable. I should dump the fuel out as well this year. Mental note to change the oil in the next month though. You don't need more than 3k-3500psi. The GX engine and AAA pump is the right combination. Honda's GX is always the better way to go whether it's on a mower or generator. The hose I upgraded to at the time of purchase is still in service with no issues and believe it or not the QD connectors are still good. Did spray one with wd-40 today because it was sticky and wouldn't snap on. Anyone having issues that I saw came from shipping but that happens and that's not a manuf. fault or the seller. Carriers all suck typically.---------First Review:This was a replacement for a lessor HP/ PSI consumer model that I owned for 10 yrs or so (craftsman). Like many people I did a lot of research and it eventually came down to Simpson and Generac. I chose this Simpson model because of its features, engine and pump quality. I did upgrade to a Simpson 50ft hose (MH5038QC) and QD connectors for the hose and wand. This model is similar to the Dewalt DXPW3228 but at a substantial savings in price. Simpson makes many (if not all) of Dewalt's pressure washers. I used that money to purchase the hose and still saved $200 (minus local taxes had I purchased in a store). The price for this unit on Amazon cannot be beat and you will not find a lower price (I looked everywhere). This is a unit that will serve many purposes from general household uses to vehicle cleaning, etc. If you are going to be cleaning your driveway, porch and walkways...purchase a cylindrical surface cleaner like the EZ Clean AEZ31023. This single attachment is THE most useful tool for cleaning concrete!! I can't stress this enough after not using one for years it made my life so much easier and saved me a lot of time.My unit came shipped with everything with no missing parts, no damage, etc. The directions are very easy to understand/ follow and are authored for the inexperienced user. Setup was easy...just add the included oil and your fuel and off you go. The engine was quieter than my previous Briggs & Stratton. Honda engines are good quality and generally are more quiet than others. Pressure washer engines in general though aren't quiet so don't expect this one to be any different. I'm not sure why people complain about the noise....it's an engine, it makes noise. I only know of a few generator engines that are quiet but they are $1600 and up so you pay for the noise reduction.This unit has the GX engine which is better than the GC. It has a triplex pump which will last the average homeowner a really long time if taken care of (meaning in the winter or when storing for a long time, use pump saver like the Briggs & Stratton 6039 can). It utilizes the most common connectors and parts so finding them will be easy. You can always cross reference with the Dewalt model if you have problems finding them.Enjoy your pressure washer!

Finally replaced my janky old pressure washer that I could barely keep running.. It quit on me in the middle of a job and it was time for it to be retired. Purchased this one, shipped to my house quickly.The triplex pump makes great, consistent pressure that is easily controlled. The Honda motor is of legendary reliability. Fires on the first pull, runs hard, and is fuel efficient.This washer works better than others I've owned. It is more expensive, but worth it.Make sure to run ethanol-free fuel (TruFuel if you're unlucky enough to not have it available at the pump near you..) and keep the pump healthy with anti-freeze in the winter.My only gripe is the same gripe I have with every pressure washer - the inflexible and hard to store hose. There are aftermarket options available but I haven't tried one yet.You won't be disappointed in this unit if you need a better washer than what you can get at a big box or home improvement store.

Tried two other gasoline power washers from another brand from a big box store. Both malfunctioned within an hour of starting them. Both were returned. This Simpson is a horse. Started on the second pull of the starter rope and runs like a dream. Very smooth operation. Honda engine technology and attention to detail are worth the price here. The pump works great. Variable pressure available via the large knob on the top of the pump. Have used it around the house several times. Each time the engine starts on the first pull. It makes pressure immediately and provides enough pressure to really clean the concrete driveway or whatever else you intend to clean. It does make more pressure than most garden variety electric pressure washers, so beware. If you've had a plug in electric model in the past, this one will make considerably more pressure than most if not all of those. Overall we are very pleased with this purchase, pleased with the Honda engine and the Simpson brand overall. Highly recommended.
