lots of problems with design
Before I bought this pressure washer, I read some of the reviews. Some were negative but I decided to buy it because of the brand name. When it arrived and I unpacked it, it looks nice and the features looked well thought out, boy was I wrong. The first thing was the cheep plastic handle. When going to move the machine, you have to pull back on the handle and lift most of the weight of the machine. It hasn't broken yet but it probably will according to the reviews I have read. Second, the funnel that comes with it to fill the oil in the engine sure is handy. The container of oil that is supplied says it is 20 oz's. The instructions say the engine takes 20 oz's so you would think all in the container would go in, WRONG. I got in probably 18-19 oz's and the next thing I knew it was running on the cement. I still had to remove some from the engine because it was overfull. After cleaning up the oil mess I added some gas and was ready to start the engine. I tried to pull the choke lever out but it only came out about 3/16" and I knew that wasn't enough to set the choke properly. I probably pulled the rope 20-25 times till it started. I looked on the underside of the choke lever (pull rod) and what idiot designed it. The cable hits the gas tank and is bent to the point where the pull rod for the choke won't come out. The second time I went to use the machine, I tried to start it and the same thing happened-no start. I got mad and finally pulled on the choke rod as hard as I could and it finally came out. The engine started with one pull. I will probably relocate the choke rod to let it work freely as it should. The last thing that is a joke is the really flimsy hanging wire rod for the hose. If this is all the better you can design a product, I think you need to get in another line of business.
