[@rolandm9750]

Yep, no kidding. First of all, *all* pressure washers, even this one need a nozzle on it (which restricts flow) to give any appreciable pressure. Secondly, it's over $500. So how is its performance "completely unmatched at this price point" then? 🙄 Can easily get a gas washer way cheaper than this that will perform as well. It won't be as compact and be electric, but still there are very few electric pressure washers that cost this kind of money. Whole thing is a sham, this guy definitely got this for free from the manufacturer. Otherwise is just talking foolishness.

[@swampen85]

[@johngifford7725]

I would recommend getting the quick connections off of the feed hose. It's worth the extra setup time to make sure there are no leaks. A leak on the pump supply means air in the line. When the pump is running, that means cavitation in the chambers, and the seal cups will wear prematurely, tear, or get hot and extrude, causing low pressure and eventually failure. Cool little unit.

[@benkimber8579]

Them changes you made so the hose untangles was genius. Hopefully I find a minute to be bothered enough to do it myself 👍🏻

[@williamwalters3796]

The GPM output can’t be higher than your GPM input from your garden hose. Pressure washer work by forcing the water through that tiny nozzle, it doesn’t matter what fancy design the pump is, as long as it pushes the water through. The stronger the pump and the smaller the nozzle the more pressure you get. Want more GPM? Get a bigger pump and a water tanks buffer system. Or just use a nozzle with a bigger opening. - a pressure washing enthusiast.

@@dailyDIYdude A pressure washer can be used without an external tap, provided that the water source is sufficiently high to supply enough water to the pressure washer pump. If you have a pressure washer with its own water supply or can pump the water from an outside source, it is possible to do this.

As someone who sells water blasters for living. The deciding factor of these machines is the power you can draw from the power outlet. It’s a sea saw. More power = less flow. If you have not flow, you will have less pressure. That’s a pretty standard pump. Three piston wobble plate design. Common in hydraulics.

It's electric! Boogie woogie woogieee! Walmart's BlackMax 3300 psi 2.4gpm gas pressure washer was $359 when I got it, and it's actually working great. Many other brands are $700-$1200 for the same flow rates. So far, so good, 3 years in. I did buy a few 6' extensions, a flew nozzle 2' extension and a few new tips, plus the turbo tip, and finally a 24" dewalt hard surface cleaner (the rotary cleaner for driveways). It's got detergent injection at the pump as well, so it's been pretty nice to have for washing patios and houses. I also use it for washing my vehicles.

[@fbi1397]

When you restrict the nozzle pressure drops and velocity increases

[@ppatricktt]

No when you restrict the nozzle, pressure between pump and nozzle goes up, flow volume goes down. just like a garden hose, imagine the valve at your house is the pump, now turn valve full on, with nothing on the end of the hose the hose will see little to no pressure because the supply from valve can not keep up with free flow demand hence no hose pressure. now put a sprayer on the hose, allow .5 g/m from said sprayer, the valve can supply 2 g/m you are letting .5g/m out of the sprayer. That is an oversupply of 1.5g/m and the hose will see as much pressure as the pump can make.

Unless your talkin about the water coming out of the nozzle, you are still wrong, flow rate drops and pressure and velocity increase
