SIMPSON Cold Water Pressure Washers

As advertised

Used this for the first time today on my 3000psi pressure washer. I should have bought one of these years ago. Made the job much tidier and quicker. Probably cut my time by 2/3rds. I would say it works as advertised.

I bought a generic brand of power washer wand and it would not fit my Simpson Power Washer. Amazon got me the Simpson brand wand in one day! I spent 4 hours power washing, works perfectly.

For any large surface like a driveway or patio, these are well worth the money even as a single use item. They will indeed do the job 4 times faster. I did my driveway and sidewalks as well as my neighbors sidewalks in under 4 hours with this guy. And with much better results than a wand. After reading a number of bad reviews with very limited background as to the competence of the operator, I found a few good reviews from individuals who showed some common sense and knowledge. Having read those I had the confidence to go with the Simpson over the cheaper plasticy models at a similar price point. Glad I did. The metal housing is very nice. The brush around the edge is sturdy and it glides nicely and limits spray coming out. Before using it I did lube up the plastic bushings in the spinning nozzle with teflon lube, as I am well aware that is what gives out on the consumer priced versions. At one point I did get a clogged nozzle which was immediately obvious. Instead of burning up my pump and giving a bad review for both the pressure washer and the surface cleaner not spinning, I simply cleared the nozzle and kept going. The nature of these tools require attention and care with respect to not only to safe operation but also to what the tool is doing. I have not looked into a service kit yet as my bushings have not failed, my only suggestion to Simpson would be to ensure a service kit with new bushings and perhaps the related brass fittings are obviously immediately available. If you need to clean a large surface but don't want to pay for or store a commercial unit, you'd be stupid to not have one of these even if they need to be replaced after a few uses. If you are needing to do your driveway or a large surface, save yourself a sunburn and embarrassment in front of your neighbors trying to use a wand and get the right tool for the job.

Purchased this scrubber to clean my aggregate concrete driveway and patio. Purchased this 2 yrs ago and have used it 3 times. Yesterday tried using it and stopped in the middle of using it. The spinning wand rotates freely until to put it under pressure. When I removed the wand I discovered that the 2 stainless steel washers or shims under the head were worn and causing the wand to bind! Applied grease and it worked for about 5 minutes until the grease was washed out with the water pressure. Contacted customer service, they informed me that the warranty was only 90 days ?? They also don’t carry any replacement part! I’m now stuck with a $100 piece of junk unless I can find the same size ss washers!

Quality construction, light weight.
