Advantages: Reliable

Disadvantages: Not quite powerful enough

This being the first pressure washer i have owned, and have done so for the past 3-4 years.

Bought this as it looked like it should do the trick, and for the price, do it well.

When using it on the cars, it cleans, but not well. Let me explain, you can use this to clean your cars if you do not wish for them to be completely clean. When using this it manages to leave areas of dirt on the car which it just can't remove. Have reverted back to the good old fashioned way using a bucket and sponge. And no, i am not obsessive about the car being spotless, but when you pay that much money, you expect the car to look clean to the average person when they have a look.

There also seems to be some joinery issues, there's always a slight leak from connection points, not catastrophic but still there.

Attachment is okay for car, and fiddly to adjust settings as quite stiff.

The build quality of materials seem to be very strong and can handle being thrown around a bit. Nice big handle and holder for the hose come in handy.

If your going to pay this amount of money and have owned a pressure washer that cleaned cars fine, avoid the item.

Summary: Okay, if you don't mind it leaving the car a bit dirty still
