I bought a Chemical Guys foam cannon for my cars and knew I needed a pressure washer for it. The problem is, my pressure washer is a nice, 6HP Honda powered. beast. More washer than I need, and fairly loud. I like to wash the cars early in the morning before the sun comes up and I'm sure the neighbors would love hearing that thing every Sunday at 7 AM. So I went looking for an electric washer. Normally, the cheapos have a crappy washer hose and wand that you can't use regular accessories with. A decent electric unit is over $800 and has only half the pressure/GPM rating of my gas unit. This Chemical Guys unit looked like it was just what I wanted. Small, cheap, used regular Quick Disconnect hardware. But I read the reviews and there was a lot of bad words about the connections cracking and breaking. And water spraying all over the place. But since it said "Free Returns" I figured I'd give it a try. Lets go with the good first It's compact and light It uses standard QDs for the hose. In fact, I use the hose for my gas washer with it, which is larger diameter and longer. I also can hook it up to a standard pressure washer handle. It puts out enough pressure/water volume to allow you rinse your car off, operate the foam cannon, and rinse the car off. The washer detects when you squeeze the handle and starts the pump automatically. This is really handy because you don't want the pump running when you're not spraying and you don't have to walk over to the box to turn it off. The bad news is that the system still leaks enough that the pressure drops and the pump will run momentarily every 30 seconds or so to keep the pressure up. The not so good: While the unit seems capable enough to operate the foam cannon and rinse, the pluming fixtures are poorly made and look like they'd fail after a short amount of use. Especially bad is the garden hose/filter/quick disconnect that feeds the machine. I had to replace the hose washers and use teflon tape on the threads to keep water from spraying out of the fitting. It still dribbles quite a bit, but it's acceptable. The supplied hose/want works ok, but again is really cheap and I prefer my regular washer gun handle. The pump box is so light, that the weight of the hose constantly causes it to tip over. This does not seem to hurt anything, but because of the cheap plastic construction, I can see some important connector cracking and breaking off eventually. I have no ideal how long this thing will last. When the pump is running, there is a definite smell of something not quite burning, but like it's overheating. Conclusion: I literally took this out of the box this morning and washed 2 cars with it. The first one went pretty slow, but once I got the hang of the foam cannon and the washer, I knocked the second car off fast. There is plenty of pressure and water volume to get the heavy dirt off the paint before applying the foam. My final rinse is with DI water from my Spotless system, and this is nice because it gives a thorough rinse with a minimum amount of water. If I keep this, I'll be buying a metal QD to replace the clear plastic garbage the garden hose hooks up to. It's a pity because if they spent an extra couple of bucks there a lot of the bad reviews you see would not have been written. If I replace that part, I'll also have to find some sort of filter or screen to keep junk from going into the pump. The fact I can use my standard pressure washing hose an hardwire with this unit is a definite plus, and the main reason I rated it a 4. If I were just rating it based on what came in the box, I'd have given it a 2. I'll update this review assuming I don't return it during the return window.
