Cleaning PS3228 PowerShot 3300 PSI Gas Pressure Washer, 2.5 GPM, Honda GX200 Engine, Includes Spray Gun and Extension Wand, 5 QC Nozzle Tips, 5/16-inch x 25-foot MorFlex Hose, 49-State

2024: I've had this model since 2013 now. Little to no issues other than a sticky piston valve assembly which is common and is an easy fix once you know that's the cause of little water pressure. Some summers I use it, some I don't at all and it starts right up thanks to the Honda engine. I may go 2-3 yrs not using it. The pump still is working strong. There is a reason Simpson still sells this SAME model and uses the SAME parts a decade later. I should change the oil regularly but honestly as much as this washer sits and isn't routinely maintained it's amazingly reliable. I should dump the fuel out as well this year. Mental note to change the oil in the next month though. You don't need more than 3k-3500psi. The GX engine and AAA pump is the right combination. Honda's GX is always the better way to go whether it's on a mower or generator. The hose I upgraded to at the time of purchase is still in service with no issues and believe it or not the QD connectors are still good. Did spray one with wd-40 today because it was sticky and wouldn't snap on. Anyone having issues that I saw came from shipping but that happens and that's not a manuf. fault or the seller. Carriers all suck typically. --------- First Review: This was a replacement for a lessor HP/ PSI consumer model that I owned for 10 yrs or so (craftsman). Like many people I did a lot of research and it eventually came down to Simpson and Generac. I chose this Simpson model because of its features, engine and pump quality. I did upgrade to a Simpson 50ft hose (MH5038QC) and QD connectors for the hose and wand. This model is similar to the Dewalt DXPW3228 but at a substantial savings in price. Simpson makes many (if not all) of Dewalt's pressure washers. I used that money to purchase the hose and still saved $200 (minus local taxes had I purchased in a store). The price for this unit on Amazon cannot be beat and you will not find a lower price (I looked everywhere). This is a unit that will serve many purposes from general household uses to vehicle cleaning, etc. If you are going to be cleaning your driveway, porch and walkways...purchase a cylindrical surface cleaner like the EZ Clean AEZ31023. This single attachment is THE most useful tool for cleaning concrete!! I can't stress this enough after not using one for years it made my life so much easier and saved me a lot of time. My unit came shipped with everything with no missing parts, no damage, etc. The directions are very easy to understand/ follow and are authored for the inexperienced user. Setup was easy...just add the included oil and your fuel and off you go. The engine was quieter than my previous Briggs & Stratton. Honda engines are good quality and generally are more quiet than others. Pressure washer engines in general though aren't quiet so don't expect this one to be any different. I'm not sure why people complain about the noise....it's an engine, it makes noise. I only know of a few generator engines that are quiet but they are $1600 and up so you pay for the noise reduction. This unit has the GX engine which is better than the GC. It has a triplex pump which will last the average homeowner a really long time if taken care of (meaning in the winter or when storing for a long time, use pump saver like the Briggs & Stratton 6039 can). It utilizes the most common connectors and parts so finding them will be easy. You can always cross reference with the Dewalt model if you have problems finding them. Enjoy your pressure washer!

This is a great power washer! I cranked it a few times and it fired right up. The pressure is very good! It was easy to assemble and is easy to use. I didn't know anything about Simpson but I bought this power washer because it has a Honda motor. I've owned other power washers with Honda motors and they lasted a long time. I expect the same from this power washer. I bought the extra hose which was offered and I am glad I did. Amazon did a very good job with shipping. I received it 2 days after I ordered it.

Bought an Excel 3100 (from Walmart - Amazon wouldn't deliver to my area) and it blew up in 35 minutes - seriously, 35 minutes! Upgraded to this machine and I am glad did! The Simpson starts easily and runs like a champ. First day out I used it for 6 straight hours, stopping only for fuel (gas for the washer, beer and a sandwich for me) and it never missed a beat. Have used it for a couple of hours on 3 other occasions and ran perfectly every time. It's really more power than I need but really happy I decided to go to the triplex pump and the peace of mind it provides in not having to worry about it failing or wearing out. Plus, I find I can run it with the throttle only midway and still get plenty of power, but with less noise. The low profile is great for storage. Mine seems even lower than what is pictured; the uprights on the handle are not nearly as long as the website shows. There is no way I can hang the coiled hose on the hook because the hose just flops on the ground even if I roll it into a pretty small coil. But it works for me because I can store the unit in a small space under a shelf in my garage. I really would recommend this machine if you have any significant power washing to do. The extra cost is worth it. p.s. If you are anywhere near 6' tall and are cleaning a patio or other ground level surface, get a wand extender to save your back. Like every other stock gun I've had, the wand is way too short to use comfortably - definitely worth the 20 bucks for an extension.

And if you've got a little more in the budget, I would also really recommend a 50' hose if you are working in an expanded area or just want to get farther from the noise of the engine.

It just worked out that way when I searched for the items that got good reviews and met my budget. Really, I don't work for Simpson!)

Bought a Pressure washer, had a couple of issues with damage from postage but was sorted out very swiftly by management, overall happy with the product and service.

I have only used it a couple of times and it is impressive. I have many projects aligned for the warmer weather. If you use the narrower nozzle it digs in concrete. Hope the Honda GX will hold up to its reputation. Only little detail is that it backfires when you throttle off, which is an indication of a too small pilot jet. I will have to check if they are changeable and if so, I will change it.

Super potente, realmente excepcional

This is an incredible pressure washer. I'm very impressed with the design and build quality, it's definitely commercial calibre. It took dried sap off my vehicle without a problem. Runs smooth, and customer service is very responsive if you have any questions. Highly recommended.

Me gusto la potencia y fácil de operar , no me gusto : motor un tanto ruidoso y la manguera es corta
