Say g'bye to electric washers -- you can't beat this for the price, October 18, 2006
This review is from: Briggs and Stratton 2,050 PSI Clean Shot Pressure Washer #20206 (Lawn & Patio)
A few years ago, we borrowed my brother's big honkin', top-of-the-line Honda pressure washer to clean our deck, so we know what the "best" can do. Thus, I didn't expect to be impressed by this humble little puppy. But I was. We didn't use any soap (so I can't speak to that feature); it wasn't necessary -- this machine cleans from sheer, lovely force. As pleasingly easy as buttering bread, we removed green mildew from our deck, from our north-facing house siding and patio, grime from our soffits & gutters, everything.
Simple to set up, and easy to use -- started on the first pull, every time. Box included safety goggles and a bottle of oil, so it was practically ready to go; needed only a fill of gas. Yeah, it could use some wheels, but it's only 50 lbs and has a nicely-balanced carry handle. A wheeled carriage would probably add $30-50, which would reduce the amazing value of this unit.
For this same price, you could buy a weak little electric-powered washer...or you could get this. If you have a problem lifting 50 lbs, go with the electric. If not, get this little Titan and color yourself lucky for finding such an awesome buy.

Great for the money, August 25, 2006
This review is from: Briggs and Stratton 2,050 PSI Clean Shot Pressure Washer #20206 (Lawn & Patio)
I thought that this was an outstanding value for the money. After receiving the pressure washer, I filled it with oil and gas and it cranked on the 1st pull! From there I was able to quickly clean my sidewalk, driveway and deck with ease. The turbo nozzle really works well. I have used 4000+ PSI units, but I find this one to be a perfect size for most people's home use. It has sufficient pressure to get the job done in a hurry, but it doesn't pack the extreme force that wears your arms out and damages what is being cleaned. For $175 shipped, this package gets 5 stars.

Great when < 100., April 10, 2007
This review is from: Briggs and Stratton 2,050 PSI Clean Shot Pressure Washer #20206 (Lawn & Patio)
Read instructions! Put oil and gas in engine, if needed. Hook everything up, turn water on, prime engine gas bulb / put throttle on start, spray water trigger once before trying to start engine to relieve water pressure some and make it easier to start.
Worked pretty darn good on driveway oil spots and patio mold and mildew removal. As for washing your car with it, not as good, as soap only comes out on low pressure mode, and soap is expensive. Automotive supply store cautioned me not to use it to wash a car, claiming it could get under the clear coat. So you may want to use it only on older vehicles, or keep your distance, and use the lowest pressure tip.
I strapped it to a cheap dolly, to make it mobile. Learned not to move it while on, or not to tip it too much on a dolly while it's running, or the oil will get into the motor cylinder and make a block-long smoke cloud! Also, be careful of hot muffler on side, I melted my plastic bucket when it touched it.
DON'T BUY THE UNIVERSAL KIT FROM AMAZON, AS IT'S FOR ELECTRIC WASHERS ONLY!
