Feel free to ask questions and I'll get back to you! And yes, I failed to spell pressure correctly twice in the video. I blame late night editing and the lack of spell check in my editor.

Hey Davin; I went to Home Depot yesterday and purchased the same pressure washer. I paid more it was worth it. This machine works great.

[@DavinDesborough]

Yes, I have been happy with it. Thanks for watching!

[@Rynoyes]

Just ordered for 240 at direct tools!! Thanks

[@andyrendon7753]

Just puchased! Hope this pressure washer lasts a while! Is there any maintenance tips you recommend such as spark plug change once a year?

[@DavinDesborough]

I've not had it long enough to say. Will be putting it through it's paces soon. Need to refinish the deck and clean the siding. I'll post a new video if I get any good maintenance tips that might be helpful.

You should not run a powerwashwer without running water through it it will destroy the pump

[@DavinDesborough]

Agreed. Any extended running would burn it up. That said, there was some water in the pump when I ran it.

[@pawel7875]

That pump just had a bad day 😂

[@richardwalters9249]

I'd recommend purchasing pure gas with 0 ethanol added - makes all small engines last much longer.

[@DavinDesborough]

I would if I could. Not available anywhere close. I mostly run "normal" pump gas with added stabilizer to help. My generator and other seldom used engines have been ok.

[@Farley445]

I don’t recommend that Green hose it’s horrible

[@01gater]

I have a gas station nearby that sells non ethanol 89 octane$4.29 per gallon

[@DavinDesborough]

The best I can do (nearby anyway) is a place that sells race gas. That is a bit too exotic for my pressure washer. 🙂

[@01gater]

You may have put too much oil in it. It looks like you put 50:1 2-stroke in it.

[@DavinDesborough]

I wasn't sure what you were talking about and I went back and took another look at the video. Yes, it seems I grabbed the wrong can of TruFuel off the shelf . 🤦‍♂Luckily I only put a little in there. I did use it to refinish my deck last summer, so it has had plenty of normal gas run through it since then. It runs like a champ! Good eye!
