Probably the most important thing to stamp into your brain with pressure washers is to never run the engine without water running through the pump.

I got the 3200 psi simpson because of your video and the Karcher surface cleaner. Arrived today and i just finished my driveway. This was thee easiest driveway cleaning I’ve ever done, including previous washers and previous surface cleaners. You’re DEAD ON this is thee best combo!!!!! Thank you!

Thank you so much, Doc. I was ready to spend almost a grand from my tax refund to get a "powerful washer" but you've shown me exactly what I really need for half the price. You're a legend.

I just ordered a Simpson with Honda motor and I’m so glad to have found your videos. Your tips are so smart!!! Thanks!

I bought the 2600 PSI you reviewed last year I use the heck out of it best one I have ever owned thanks doc. Just got my second bag of SJ now waiting on my biochar

Thanks for posting an actual review an x break down of the machines . Many youtubers do not actually do this . They just have commercials of info we can read on company websites. It's nice to get an actual opinion and see the products in use .

I was looking for all the information you mentioned. Thank you for the great information that you provided to your followers. I benefited from it a lot

Thank you Doc!! Ordered the smaller Simpson (as I have lots of steps), extension wand, and Karcher surface cleaner with pump saver. Did my whole property in an afternoon that would normally have taken 2 days!

I just bought the bigger version and can't wait to use it. Thanks for your videos making me decide was alot easier 👍

Doc, I just want to say thank you so much for your videos. I want to start doing pressure washing as a side business and your videos have helped me so much with my research. Seriously thank you so much.

Bought the 3200psi a week ago.It is so awesome and has paid for itself in a week. We were going to replace the deck on the house we bought 4 years ago. We were able to 'renew' the deck with just the water. Keep on making videos.

Really enjoy and learn a lot from your videos. Just picked up a Simpson pressure washer 3200 psi with a Honda engine.

Good review. Simpson makes really good equipment and will last if you maintain them. I have even rebuilt older professional models. As you stated the main differences between the 2 are the pumps and the motors. The gx is a better built motor than the gc but both are still good and the smaller unit has the radial pump versus the triplex pump.

Just purchased the Simpson 3200psi 3 weeks ago, doing very well and PLENTY of pressure!

I have the Simpson 4000 psi and 3.5GPM from Lowes. It’s got the Honda GX270 engine and you are right. Simpson starts right away every time, no matter how long stored. So impressed. Can I bother you for a video on regular “maintenance” and oil change intervals. I also notice there is a separate oil level in the pump housing itself that even has a little window. I can picture never needing another one as long as I care for it properly. I also ONLY use non-ethanol fuel in all my small internal combustion engines (weed eaters, blowers, chainsaws, etc.). Thanks again.

You’ve inspired me to finally buy one and yes I’m using your links. 👊😍

I went with the one with the GX motor. I also got all the accessories that you mentioned. The longer wand and surface cleaner make a big difference (less time, don't get soaked, more thorough clean, no sore back!) , thanks for the tips.

Awesome information. I have the Simpson 3300 psi Honda gx . It’s a beast and I love the price and the power

Definetly appreciate you, i just added it toy cart and will be purchasing it tonight. Thanks.

Just the video I was looking for. Thanks for the review

Thank you for this valuable information, I've learned alot and it's cool you are providing your knowledge for free, you seem like a great dude!

Well done video, my complements Doc. 2500 psi @ 3 gpm is the perfect range, any more proves nothing for most users. I totally agree, Simpson builds a nice machine and good quality hoses and accessories. The pricing on the triplex pump machine is very good considering it’s got the better engine and a detachable handle. You’re right on with the Must Have accessories too.

Great video, helped me decide on which one to get.

Great advice! Thank you!

Great video. Helped me decide!

I've had the gc190 for for years and loved it.can stay off the trigger for a few good minutes without hurting the engine or pump at all.

Thanks soo much for the informative video. Do you have any recommendations on quick connect adapters for these pressure washers?

Thank you for the info buddy 👍 Nice video

Thank you for sharing your brain Doc

Wow this is a great video very informative and helpful !

I bought the pressure washer, and it works great. That little extender accessory with the spring around it came apart during its first use. No biggie. The Karcher works good but make sure you get it from an American supplier because its made in America. Im waiting a long time for the one coming from China.

I just got the Simpson 3200psi and compared to my 18yr old 2550psi Troybuilt there is no comparison! That Simpson is a beast

Thanks Doc!!

Thanks for the information very good review i bought the simpson 3200psi the smaller one in this review

I have a 3000 psi 2.4 gpm Simpson with a Honda motor, plenty of power !

Do the make a hose reel that attaches to the pressure washer? Great videos I have been watching for a long time. Amazing information. I learned the hard way on a lot of choices. Don't get the simpson surface cleaner it clogs very easy. I got the one you recommended and no complaints at all.

One of the main differences between the GC and the GX is that the GX has an iron sleeve in cylinder. Which means it will last longer

Great videoDoc. Found your review on the Simpson water pressure last year. Works great thank you.but I noticed when using the pressure washer there is water leaking from the pump seals is that normal?

Thanks Doc. Ordered the 3300psi Simpson. Love it. Went to your website and ordered all the extras you suggested. Extra long wand, that hose extender and the surface washer. Thanks for the videos. New subscriber here.

Excellent review

Thanks for sharing this info. I'm looking at adding pressure washing into my business a bit this coming up year

I’m really glad I found you. Great videos. A guy that “knows stuff “ is rare. Thanks Dan

Excellent and thorough review though so many bad reviews on the Lowe(s) site. Many in detail expressing their failures after one year and bottom of the barrel customer support.

The best accessory for the water inlet is a water hose quick disconnect. I have them on all of my water tools,

Cheers bro, great info

Good information Doc

There’s a very big difference, the Commercial GX motor has forged crank and upgraded internals. Made for everyday , unlike the GC which would be like a weekend warrior.

Simpson's are the best. Tri valves ect. My sat nearly a yr. I moved and stored it. But had Barstall and one once of seafoam in it. Three cranks and it started right up. Of course i sprayed valve lub before storing.

I have a Simpson 3400psi 2.4gpm. Has the AAA pump. I use it every weekend washing my cars and other odd jobs around the house. It’s been awesome It looks like your 3200 washer.

What's up Doc!!! Thanks for the information brother 🙏. You are far more informative than the folks down at the local big box store. You just sold me on my next pw purchase...Catch this subscription muchacho!!!

Im following you for now on great info

I just ordered the Simpson MSH3125 Megashot. I currently have a Craftsman which I hate. I’m looking forward to trying the new one. I hope your recommendation’s correct because we power wash for almost 90 hours a year at our house.

Thanks!

Thanks for the great video - are there electric versions that are just as good or comparable?

Thank you!!

I use one to keep my construction equipment clean. Mud (plenty available here in N. MS) gets caked up in the tracks so I use the 4000 psi unit. Simpson is great!

Great review! Do you know if you can attach a longer extender wand then 33". I have drain gutters that in some spots are probably 20' or more.

Great Video. It's so Awesome that I happened across it. I have been shopping for exactly what you have reviewed here.., the smaller unit. I also have a question... Other than cleaning concrete, fencing, and gutters.. etc. Do you think the pressure of the smaller unit will be ok to use with a Trinova foam cannon sprayer.. for washing cars and a motorcycle?

Great Content

Hey doc! Thanks for the review of these products! Do you provide any links for the 30-33" extension wand?

Thanks for the reviews, great info 👍. Im looking at the PS3228 model, Is there a certain time of year they go on sale ?

Due to your review, I bought the Simpson. My only regret is that with the wheels mounted on the FRONT axle, it's almost impossible to maneuver it up and down a couple of stairs to my pool. I'm considering cutting and rewelding the handle on the other side!

Great video👍

Hey doc, great video. What brand of pump saver do you use? Thanks.

Agreed about the surface cleaner! My Kärcher K1700 came with an 11 inch surface cleaner (Lowe's exclusive). I can clean the vinyl siding on the house in no time with it!

FYI. When I clicked on the link you posted for the 32 PSI washer, it is no longer $369. It is now showing up at $449

excellent video

Hi Doc. Thank you for great review. Have a quick q about the Karcher surface cleaner. can it be used for a Simpson 3300 PSI at 2.4 GPM HONDA. If not, could you possibly recommend one for 3300 PSI. Thanks for your detailed review and helpful tips

Great review, helped a lot. Can't seem to find the 33 inch extension wand. Could you provide me with a link

Can you make a video showing how to adjust the pressure i can't seem to get it to run properly, I'll probably have to buy a pressure gauge to set the pressure properly, i have a 3400 simpson power by Kohler

GX is commercial grade and GC is residential grade

I’m looking to power wash playground equipment once a week. Is the newer one in this video big enough and built tough enough for that once a week use. In your opinion.

Perfect timing. My machine is old and the water pump just gave out. Unrepairable due to super old. Aka time for a new one.

Hey Doc I just bought the Simson PS3228 3300psi with the GX 200cc 2.5 gpm and lets not forget the disconnect so what Surface Pressure Washer can i use on this monster ,beast.thanks for your time....... Geo

Helpful!👍🏼

I need a pressure washer to clean my asphalt before an annual slurry coat. Should I use the surface cleaner accessory?

18:21 make this an awesome review!!!!

Any particular brand of pump saver for the AAA pumps???

I have a Stihl pressure washer RB 600 at 3200 psi/3 gpm, I want to use a surface cleaner on my deck and not sure what pressure to use, I have an adjustable regulator and a pressure gauge I added and did not want to damage the wood. Thanks kindly.

Can you tell what material is the pump made out of ?

Quick question. Are these any good for washing cars??? or should i go for a smaller one? I want it for both washing cars, my pool, and some concrete here and there. Thanks in advanced!

Hello, what is the best pressure washer for comercial use?

Do you use your pressure washer to wash your vehicles?

Hello Doc, I was just about to purchase the wrong pressure washer when I came across this video. I'm afraid I really know little about pressure washers but just know I need something stronger than my current electric washer. Do you have another video showing the basics of pressure washing with various uses of the tips & best techniques for vehicles vs. home use etc.? Thank you!

Howcome when I try squeezing the oil into the pump it don’t seem to go in? I have a royobi 300 psi

I am so close to pulling the trigger and getting one of these power washers but I have read a lot of the reviews on Amazon. Most of them are good but there is a few that do not speak highly of the customer support. Do you support that claim? I saw a lot of bad reviews on the Karcher surface cleaner, but got one anyway. The complaints were 'the nozzles get clogged and the plastic nut on top keeps vibrating loose. I had the same experiences. Thanks for posting this sir.

I have the smaller version and I want to start a small business over the summer , will it still be effective after using it several times ?

Good morning, excellent video. For some reason the link provided is giving me a restriction access error message. Is there a different link I can use to review the models and accessories on the video? Thank you in advance!

Doc, you sure you can tun bleach out without damaging the pump? I ask cause most manufacturers say it will damage it

Very informative, will be starting my car detailing business and purchased the simpson powershot 3300 psi after watching your video. Subscribed!

Great video. Two questions though. Don't you have to rinse your driveway with a hose to push all the loosened dirt off of it? And second, What size quick disconnects do I need for my pressure washer so I can easily remove the hose and wand? Thanks.

Just got the 3200 Simpson pressure washer used it once for my patio. The next time I used it, week later, when I turn on the water there is water leaking from pressure hose connection at the motor, thoughts?

Gm Doc why so many negative reviews on the hose extension hose

PGF Complete currently out of stock?

A little late, but Wawa sells ethanol free gas. At least the one near me does. I'm assuming they all do. Price sits just between premium and mid-grade...at mine.

Doc, the apex of my 2-story vinyl sided house is about 34 feet off the ground. What are my options to clean? I know Simpson sells a “2 story valve kit”, maybe this? Concerned about buying a pressure washer and it not working on the entire house.

Wondering if you or anyone else in this thread could tell me if there is a big difference in these 2 models? First time buying a gas pressure washer for home use. - SIMPSON MegaShot 3000 PSI-2.4 GPM - SIMPSON Cleaning MSH3125 MegaShot 3200 PSI Gas Pressure Washer, 2.5 As of today, the first model listed above comes with a surface cleaner at Home Depot for $389 and the 2nd model is $449 by itself (without the surface scrubber). Just trying to figure out if the 2nd model is really worth it. Anyone know how much of a difference in power do you get?

So is there a limit on length of hose for the wand? unable to find that info out on simpsons website

What model number is the bigger one?

Right on man 😎
