Next time soft wash your home, don’t pressure wash your home. Rinse with a garden hose. Apply the bleach and soap with a 2 gallon pump up sprayer. Pressure wash concrete with a surface cleaner not a wand. 36 “ wands are great. They allow one to stand up straight when surface cleaning. Shorter wands leave you hunched over the entire time. For just doing your own property you don’t need more than 2.5 GPM @ 3000 psi. You will do less damage. POWER washing is a hot water application. PRESSURE washing is a cold water application. Sorry for the bluntness. I don’t mean to criticize, I just mean to inform.

The house and patio look freaking awesome now. It's funny how you don't really notice the dirt and grime as it accumulates over time but then you clean it and you realize how bad it was.

got to say I just bought the same power washer. I received it this morning put the oil in it gased it up power washed my van as well as my front porch and walkway. I went back to the pressure washer and saw creamy colored goop on the ground. Water got into the pump oil chamber. When I received it and looked at the pump I saw the creamy color in the glass but even though I was a tad concerned I overlooked it beings it was new and never had a simpson before. Its obvious that they tested it as the hose had water in it. Now it's in the shop. It is a factory refurbished so I'm shocked they didn't catch that the pump was taking in water. To say the least I wasn't happy. I told the shop I took it to that I wanted a new pump as I wasn't confident the piston wasn't scored. The first shop said they wouldn't take warranty work from simpson and the second one wanted a deposit. Makes me feel Simpson doesn't have a good reputation with the venders they use. Sad.

Great review, although I would never recommend lowering the throttle. The pressure reduction valve/knob is there for a reason. Keep the full throttle and reduce the pressure via the dedicated knob as designed. This is also documented in the manual.

Small engines are designed to run at full throttle. Running a small engine at half throttle can damage them causes them to chug and not run in the rpm they are designed for.

just purchased one , thanks for all of the info

Wow what a difference!

That inward handle, is for added places to grab for loading and unloading, especially once your done and the engine is hot.. very hard to handle without that additional handle.. I have the same pressure washer except its branded dewalt.

11:15 is almost comical how long this man's wand looks...."And he's got the biggest wand of them all!"

Great Value in the video!!! I just purchase this Pressure Washer today along with the Simpson 20" Surface Washer. "Walk On Water Power Wash LLC" just getting started way down here in S. E. Louisiana...

Did your's come with the threaded water pump dipstick? I just have the red plastic bolt, which i believe is suppose to be removed

Hi there I got the same machine can you bypass the thermal valve so the pump be cooler on this machine?

👍Good stuff. My Simpson TaskMaster 4000DD wears my A*s plumb out when using it & I'm a big feller. Such power! It's a beast. My brother gave it to a few yrs ago @ 1 yr old. BIG difference from the cheap home user "throw-always". Just a beast thats hard to tame w/ a 4' wand. They'll work you but it's a satisfying workout. (SUBd) 👍🇺🇸☕️✌️

Hi there!! Have you stall the pressure gauge? Thank you 😊

Verry powerful saw one like it strip paint off tanks, and half tracks. Good buy.

Hi I have same one but years ago it’s working I try to working little bit starting after stop the engine and I try again some gas licking can you help me for the how am I fix the problem thank you

Mine came with the GB420 Simpson engine, I used it about 10 times then it started back firing really hard upon pull start. About broke my fingers a couple times and finally snapped the rope. Seems like timing is too far advanced....

Great video buddy.

Did you get a swivel or ball valve eventually? I ordered another 50 ft of the simpson 2 ply hose. Boy is that thing killing me this summer in fl. Its so damn heavy

No surfactant in your blend?

What chemicals were you using?

Great video. Is that a direct drive or belt drive unit? Thx.

Thank you, nice review, good tips! Are you saying that the washer can never run without the trigger being depressed, or only during the start process?

I just picked up this exact model for cheap. Quick questions, am I able to leave the machine on for long periods of time without releasing pressure? Is there a built in auto pressure release? Or am I going to mess up the pump if i run it more than 10mins without releasing pressure? Thanks in advance, I’m new to these machines. It’s my first one.

Mine came with the same leak but worse I got mine on clearance from tractor supply

Hey, but if you are making your bleach 10 to 1 , you do know our down stream injectors change that ratio. I dont think unless you use straight SH with a few drops of gain. Maybe you will actually get 10 to 1

I read that it weighs about 160 lbs? I would really like to see you move it around and I dont think id be able to get it in/out of my small suv. Only thing i can think of is using ramps. Would definitely like your input.

I need opinions since im not sure between a simpson 4400 psi 420cc or a simpson 4200 psi gx390. Is the gx390 much much better or just slightly better that its worth the 200 bucks more than the 420cc? Right now 420cc is at $900 and the gx390 is at $1100 Please help out

Mine started leaking around the site glass for the pump. Pump oil

If anyone still sees this, is it safe to use the siphon tube to run whatever solution you want, as a downstream injector. Or does it run it through the pump?

It has wiring for an electric starter. It's a pain to pull start. Do you know which starter kit to use. Having trouble finding which one I should get for it.

Great price on this Pressure washer right now at Tractor Supply $669.99 and Lowes 679.00

I love mine

How's the pump working for downstream?? How high can you get?? Can you reach 3 stories high??

Does your water to bleach solution affect grass, plants, shrubbery?

How's the engine holding up I'm hearing good reviews about it I'm trying to justify the $400 extra for the Honda engine

Does that machine take straight gasoline without a mixture?

How’s the machine holding up?

greetings Hands on! can we get an update on your Simpson? how is it holding up?

The guy scratching his foot with the wand, I wonder if he scratches his back with a shotgun duck hunting 🤣🤣🤣

What is in the bleach solution? water/bleach ratio? all bleach?

How has this held up?

How low can you lower the psi?

cart handle pops out and turns around and goes in backwards for storage.

Mine just came today. And I wish I didn't order it. I'd yours is leaking. I ordered a extra 50ft hose. And the industrial surface cleaner. I have not put mine together .

How's this machine holding up?

I’ve been looking to buy a pressure washer, I’ve been looking for this one to be exact. I was waiting to see if this machine is worth it. I’m starting a business soon!

Does it matter what garden hose you use

What solution was in the jug?

2:23 The leaking is normal, I get the same thing on mine, once you start the machine and the pressure comes on the leak stops.

Well he might have tried to hose somewhere else?

That smelly employee needed that PSI 😂

Quiero comprar soy de peru cusco como puefdo contactarme

Is the engine a Honda copy? I feel that it is not a real Honda engine.

Может кто-то перевести сколько в минуту воды в час воды выдаёт сколько бар выдаёт

I just bought this unit and it comes with a text message and it's a contest to do a KZfaq review to win. That's a red flag. I'll give a honest review. I opened it so I can't return it.

Oh that bar that makes no sense it does trust me. I work from a van and the same machine. But that bar is the only way I lift that into my van. Trust me . Amazing machine but if I didn’t have that I am dead.

OHV is a dead give away she's Honda and shouldn't give you give you problems.

Looks like the Dee-walt

It isn't that power full. You shouldn't have to get that close. With that's much psi

You sound just like Hickok45

could have finished that in 2 minutes using surface cleaner.

You are a dope

Yea you can tell you don’t wtf you’re doing

why do we care about the hygiene guy? Stay on topic.
