4.0 out of 5 stars Good, But Not Perfect, August 23, 2003

I recently purchased the 1694 from Amazon. The first thing to note is the item description. The engine that powers this unit does not employ OHV as Amazon states. I was disappointed since part of the reason for purchase was the OHV engine.

PROS: High PSI at slighter more weight than an electric unit. Easy to use. Very portable and stable on its rubber feet. Tried and true Briggs engine (The old lawn mower type.)

CONS: No wand/hose storage. Poor grade rubber hose, tends to kink easily. Gas guzzling engine for its size. Starting engine requires several pulls even after priming.

Summary: All in all this is a great inexpensive alternative to large pressures washers. For slightly more than a good electric washer you get the power of gas in a slightly larger form factor. This unit cleans /w ease, my only complaints are those listed above.

5.0 out of 5 stars Briggs & Stratton Reliability, June 30, 2004

I purchased the Sears Craftsman version of this item that is rated at 2000 psi and 2.0 gpm. The Sears unit also came with the turbo wand and extra oil for $199. Engine started second pull and has continued to do so. Its clearly for residental use not commercial, but does a lot of things very well. Do read and follow the instructions closely about purging air before startup. CONS: Engine/pump gets very hot and will kill grass where it sits. Engine will not empty gas tank. Stops running at about 1/4 tank and requires refill. I'd have it repaired under warranty, but its too darned reliable to have somebody messing with it.

This review is from: Generac by Briggs & Stratton Power Products 1694 1900 PSI 2.0 GPM Pressure Washer (Lawn & Patio)

I purchased the 1900 psi Briggs & Stratton Power Washer four months ago. It started up right away on one pull, then ten minutes later it stopped. My local authorized repair place diagnosed the problem as a faulty part covered under warrantee. Three months later I still don't have the 1900. After several calls and emails to Amazon and Briggs & Stratton I received encouraging customer service that told me the part was due the next day. Still waiting. I'm dissappointed because I've grown up with respect for the Briggs & Stratton name and have only had good experiences with Amazon. I'm hoping the part will arrive, the repair made, and I can regain my confidence in these two companies. I have been told that if the 1900 cannot be repaired, I can apply to Amazon for a new one which is a mixed promise. First, I can apply for a refund is not inspiring and secondly, I face the unknown of whether it was just a lemon or bad design.

I'll have to wait and see.

I will be very dissappointed if the 1900 can't be repaired and Amazon refuses to either refund the purchase price plus shipping or is willing to ship me a new one, and not a reconditioned one.

We'll see.
