This product did not last for 15 mins. It broke during use.

The product is plastic and did not fit the Karcher pressure washer as advertised. The hose is rated for less psi than the washer. I need to go somewhere else to find the replacement that will fit and function.

I had to send this back to Amazon. The set screw that is required to be removed to adjust for different pressures would not come out so that the correct pressure screw could be installed. Low price, now a 2-3 month wait for a replacement (not Amazon's problem, but the manufacturer).

I ordered this to replace the spray wand on my Husky 1800 washer. This unit comes with an insert that is good only up to 1300 psi; therefore, I had to replace the insert with one good for 2000 psi. The replacement insert and hex tool were included; however, the factory-installed insert was too tight and the hex wrench stripped. I had to send it back. Fortunately, the second one worked. I have only used it twice, but it seems to work well.

I purchased the PowerWasher Brand Replacement hose w/ attached gun at a Home Depot about 6 months ago. The hose would not attach to my AR Blue Clean hand held unit because the AR unit output thread is 15mm (European) and the PowerWasher Brand hose has a 14mm (standard) thread. That said, I ended up purchasing a new AR 383 unit (see my review if you like) and put this extra hose in storage and ordered a European to Standard adapter so I could use it if my high pressure hose ever went on my new washer.

The Hose Blew! Ended up attaching the PowerWasher Brand hose right to my AR383 unit with NO adapter needed.(??) Unfortunately my AR pressure wands and nozzles would not fit with the adapters included with my hose. Back to Home Depot to find out they don't carry this brand anymore. Amazon to the rescue!

Item shows up on time with PRIME! The wands went right together and has an extra 12 inch extension (if you need it). Comes with multiple pressure tips for the fan nozzle to use according to the pressure rating on your washer model. The adjustable fan spray nozzle does not spray as consistent / even spray as the AR Original nozzle, but almost. The PowerWasher Brand hose is also 5 feet longer and the gun is a bit better quality than the O.E. so it really makes my jobs easier. I use my washer 2 to 3 times a day (approx 1 to 2 hours of use) for my car and home cleaning services, so I use it a lot.

Only gripes: A very tiny leak appearing at the gun / wand connections. I'll see if I can seal with Vasoline or other sealant. I ordered an O.E. hose and gun for my AR 383 as a backup, but knowing what I know now, as long as I can fix the tiny leak, I would much rather use the PowerWasher Brand hose than I would the original AR setup.

If you ever blow the high pressure hose to any pressure washer, I would replace it with the Powerwasher Brand Hose / Gun combo and The PowerWasher Brand nozzles (order them together) it is a nice setup.

I have a husky powerwasher and BOTH of the standard nozzles broke on me. So I bought this despite the poor ratings. I must say that it works better than the original nozzles. The key to having success with this product is to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS and make sure that you CHANGE THE NOZZLE ends in the gun head. They give you a big allen wrench and 3 other pressure nozzle. By default the bronze pressure nozzle in the gun can only handle 1350psi. So if you just put on the end, plug it into to your fancy 1800 psi washer, IT WILL BREAK. BUT, if you properly put in the right nozzle, it works like a charm (the pink nozzle for me since it is 1800-2300PSI). The adjustable fan spray is a really nice feature since you can either get a straight stream out of this or go with a wide fan spray, which is a nice feature. I like it!

Didn't rate it the highest only because we haven't used all the attachments yet -- what we HAVE used works very well -- and very adaptable to our Karcher pressure washer

I wanted this to work so bad, but it leaks! I used Teflon tape, but it still leaked. I wasn't soaking wet, but I was wet. This would work fine if you have the exact match for that adapter. Those adapters are meant to fix perfectly together to prevent leaking. Even with all those adapters, no match...probably planned out by the other manufacturers...this way, you have to buy an entire new sprayer handle and extension. BUT you might be lucky and find the perfect match...I have a handle that doesn't leak and I want to find a match, but this wasn't it. So I had to go buy a full sprayer handle with the extension at a much higher price.

Well folks, it is what it is. It's plastic. What do you expect?
I purchased it to replace the fan nozzle lance that I broke.
It works better than the nozzle that originally came with my cheap BlackCat electric power washer. It should be fine for casual use around the home. Find the connector that fits your spray gun, screw together and you're good to go! I'm sure it could break easily, but if you're rough, you should have a metal gun and wand anyway.

Very happy to find this product, it works great! Thought I was going to have to buy a whole new powerwasher but this product fixed the old trigger!
