This is a poorly made product. I have used it less than 30 hour and have had it repaired 3 times for parts that have stopped working or bust open. Do NOT buy this product.

After one use the unit leaks from inside.Upon closer inspection a cheap plastic part between 2 brass parts burst. Also the cheap quick connect pops off everytime you release the trigger disabling the unit

I only used this machine 4 or 5 times before its hose connector cracked and broke. The handle, which is supposed to help you guide the washer while it is leaning on its wheels, slips off constantly and causes the machine to slam to the ground. Water has always leaked from the hoses, even with the addition of teflon tape. It is such a bad design that I don't even want to buy replacement parts. Buyer Beware...

Second time used the on - off switch fell apart. Not a good design.
Spray pattern is so -so

My husband's garage is full of all kinds of stuff. I came across the Black & Decker washer. I was looking online for directions. Couldn't find any, didn't need any, it's very easy to figure out. I read and followed all the safety measures attached. The reviews I did come across on Amazon were mostly bad, so I was a bit concerned I'd be wasting my time using this. It works great! I cleaned my heavily stained and muddy patio. I used it on my stained and muddy tennishoes and used it to spray mud off the windows! We have clay soil so our mud sticks and stains, and this made my concrete patio white!

Purchased this new and it didn't work from the start. The compressor runs but no pressure ever builds up and only a drip of water comes out the nozzle. Contacted B&D HQ and took it to a local B&D Service Center, since it was still under warranty, for an exchange. B&D sent me a new (or refurbished??) one about 1 week later. However, after only using this new one a couple of times, it's now doing the same thing as the first one and doesn't work at all! Unfortunately, now my 2 year warranty is out, so I'm out $140!!! Very shoddy quality. I'm completely disgusted with B&D and will NEVER again purchase ANY of their products!!!

Worked great the first time.....day 2 it would not start/no power nothing! double checked everything my outlet fine, circut breaker fine, cord fine. Never again will I but Black/Decker!

I have used this item perhaps 4 times for very light work. This last time I pulled it out I found there was very little pressure and water was spraying all over the interior. I took the cover off and found that one of the internal parts had split down the middle and it was leaking all over. It is virtually impossible to repair and I am out my investment in what I thought would be a high quality product.

Very disappointed.

I bought the B&D PW1500 product last year. It worked well initially. But then it stopped working properly. The water would be on and the power would be on but the motor would not start when I press the trigger or would start but then stop suddenly. I can only guess that the motor or maybe the pressure sensor has gone bad. Paid $130 for it on sale. Only used it 4 or 5 times. I expected more from a B&D product.

I was worried after reading all the negative reviews. I just got it and it works great. I got it brand new for only 78 bucks free shipping. Hooking it up to hose was an issue but you can get a connector from lowes in plumbing section named " pvc to hose" and it works. No issues with heating etc. Excellent pressure. I am working on a deck which hasn't been cleaned for 12 yrs. Its a huge deck and it worked non-stop. Now the price has gone up. I will recommend it without a second thought.
