5.0 out of 5 stars
Spring Cleaning Wonder, April 5, 2006
This review is from: Powerwasher PWS1750 1,750 PSI Electric Power Washer (Lawn & Patio)
When my wife gave me the task of getting everything spruced up for an upcoming visit and cook-out for the my daughter and her kids, I was truly dreading it. Explaining that March Madness had priority was an excercise in futility. Looking for a way to minimize the time so I could see my beloved GATORS make a run in the tournament, I purchased the PWS1750.
Talking about picking winners, this thing is absolutely amazing. It came nicely packed and full of extra features that I hadn't found on other machines I had seen at Sam's and Lowe's. A hose reel and brass fittings for the hose connection to name a few. In no time flat, I had cleaned the patio & lawn furniture, BBQ grill, the floating dock and the pontoon boat. It has more power than I will ever need for my regular cleaning jobs which include removing the mold from the house siding which is a common occurrence down here in the Sunshine state.
Hooking it up and putting this dream machine to work was a breeze. The hose reel was great for storing the hose after I finished and the on-board storage was more than adequate.
One thing I discovered when I first started using my "cleaning buddy" was that it was extremely quiet when compared to my neighbor's unit. His machine has this feral cat scream emitting from it while my just purrs with a very low hum. Also, his doesn't seem to have near the power I have. Since he is my golfing buddy, he will need to get a quiet runner so we can clean in the morning while the wives are asleep then we can still go tee it up before 9am. Next to my R7 driver this is the best thing I've bought in a while.
UPDATE: My review as well as others written by those questioning the legitmacy of same are found on affiliate sites as well as amazon.com. I only wrote 1 review and stand by it 100%. Can't comment on the experience of others just mine. They should research and they will find their reviews appear elsewhere as well. It's the information age, baby!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars
It literally melted today (10-28-06), after 2 months and 6 uses. AND AGAIN after being repaired and two more uses!, October 28, 2006
This review is from: Powerwasher PWS1750 1,750 PSI Electric Power Washer (Lawn & Patio)
I'm really in a quandary on how to rate this Powerwasher. Before it burned-up today, the pressure was incredible. The pressure was so strong it could even remove dried cement splatters from the bricks around my house. Just amazing!
I never did find the soap container, but I filled a gallon water jug with soap and water and ran the soap intake tube from the Powerwasher into the gallon jug. It works well, but uses the entire gallon of soap water in about 15 minutes. Using this method also makes it cumbersome to move the unit from place to place.
Today I was powerwashing my BBQ when the unit stopped working. While I was trying to identify the problem I noticed that the plastic parts around the pump motor had melted. The reset button on the plug would not reset either (that's a good thing). So now the power sprayer is broken and it looks terminal.
Before the Powerwasher burned-up today, I probably would have rated the unit as 4 stars. If it had just stopped working today, I probably would have rated it 2 stars. But the fact that it got hot enough to melt the plastic around the pump before the reset switch tripped, I'm giving the Powerwasher 1 star.
I'm beginning the process to have the unit replaced, now. I hope that goes smoothly. If the manufacturer replaces the unit promptly, I'll raise my rating to 3 stars. Stay tuned.
(My original review was from 10-28-06, the day this unit melted. This update is from today, 1-2-07):
I received the repaired unit back from the manufacturer in early November, but didn't use it until last week to clean the rain gutters. It worked great. Today I hooked it up, rinsed out some trash cans and was going to wash the car when the unit started smoking again! Same as before. The plastic covering over the pump motor melted when the pump overheated. Now it's broke again.
I'm going to try to get a refund. I change my rating to ZERO stars. This is ridiculous!

Excellent Product, April 16, 2006
This review is from: Powerwasher PWS1750 1,750 PSI Electric Power Washer (Lawn & Patio)
I had a gas powered pressure washer that was a real nightmare to start and I had to deal with gas, oil and winterizing the thing.
I finally had enough and bought the PWS1750 and what a joy to use. Although the last washer was rated at 1900 psi, I can not tell the difference in power. This is relatively quite and a press of a button and you're ready to go. I wish I would have gotten this first.
