Pros:

The unit is lightweight and easy to move. It has a variety of included attachments to tackle almost all jobs around the home. One nice feature is the adjustable spray tip on the wide-angle wand. The unit has a lot of power for an electrical pressure washer — more than enough to clean driveways, decks, grills, mowers, etc.

It has a really long electric cord which was one of the requirements for me since I didn’t want to mess with extension cords. The hose is actually pretty long too, so you don’t have to drag the pressure washer around when you wash your car for example. Just set it in one place and the length of the hose will be enough reach all around.

The pressure was sufficient to clean the concrete, although at a pace somewhat slower than for a gas-engine washer. The pressure was just right to clean the house wall bricks [unsealed "insulation" bricks, very porous and rather brittle] without damaging them. In fact, the adjustable spray nozzle at focused stream grooved / spalled the brick surface, so we used the turbo-nozzle.

Cons:

The high-pressure hose that runs from the unit to the spray-gun is made from a stiff plastic that tangles easily and is hard to manage as you move around. I am currently researching buying an after-market hose made from high quality rubber to avoid this problem.

Also, don’t bother storing the hose using the built-in reel. It is fussy work trying to get the hose on and off, and bending the hose in tight circles makes it that much easier to tangle when you use it. Simply coil the hose loosely and drop it around the top of the handle. This will save you lots of time.

The recessed water supply inlet and the plastic hose connector [difficult to tighten the connector and to keep the hose from unscrewing itself].

Storage hose reel [rotating drum] diameter is too small, and fast / careless reeling can damage the pressure hose.

Winding path for the electrical cable cannot hold it; we extended the cable path to over the washer’s handle.
