Good value for the money, September 16, 2005
This review is from: Black & Decker 1,050 PSI Electric Pressure Washer PW1300 (Lawn & Patio)
Purchased this product from Amazon when it was introduced and no reviews had been written then. Been using the washer for about 3 months now and generally very pleased. Unsure about the other negative reviews but fortunately, I had no such experience.
The washer arrived in good condition in the original box. Took less than 5 minutes to figure out the parts and assemble it. The supply side connector is a standard garden hose quick-connect type adaptor. Very convenient as I use the same garden hose for sprayers, etc.
The pressure washer is a lot quieter than others I have used. The unit completely shuts off when not in use, preserving the life of the motor. Pressure output is consistent, but just bear in mind that this is a 1000 psi unit so don't expect paint-stripping power like the 1500-3000 psi units.
Parts appear to be put together pretty well and general quality is good. "Touch and feel" aspects of switches, connections and general appearance is consistent with a quality B&D product. I have used mine for 30-90 mins each time, cleaning driveway, patio, walkways and cars. No issue with switches breaking, motor burnouts, etc thus far.
Unit is very lightweight and easy to move around. Handle well designed and bottom-heavy design makes unit fairly stable.
Only downside I would mention is the pressure output. It is a low-end unit and not the most powerful. If you need serious cleaning power, I would recommend going with a higher psi output unit.

Pleasantly Surprised, November 28, 2005
This review is from: Black & Decker 1,050 PSI Electric Pressure Washer PW1300 (Lawn & Patio)
We live in Florida. You going to live in Florida, you are going to have mold. I don't like mold threfore if this product got rid of mold and assorted other mess it was worth the time and trouble.
Received the remanufactured product in record time. Took an afternoon to get the hang of it and ten minutes to learn that you aint gonna come bewtween us.
It's sensational! It takes some learning and you should use the instruction manual. But once it starts to do its thing it's almost like it's on cruise control.
It's one of those products that delivers what it promises........CTP

poor quality - would not recommend, August 30, 2005
This review is from: Black & Decker 1,050 PSI Electric Pressure Washer PW1300 (Lawn & Patio)
This product is poorly made and I would not recommend to anyone. The motor overheats frequently and the unit will not run for several hours. The threaded fittings for the water supply side of the pressure washer are made of plastic and leak.
