All Power America APW5102 3,000 psi 6.5 HP OHV Gas-Powered Pressure Washer Review

All Power America APW5102 3,000 psi 6.5 HP OHV Gas-Powered Pressure WasherWasher is well made and easy to assemble. Started easily the first time. Worked well for about 2 hours then pressure started to fluctuate and it cut out. I thought it might have over heated. So I stopped for the day and returned the next day, checking both oil and gas before starting. The pressure seemed low and after about 30 minutes the pressure was nil. The trouble shooting guide suggests a number of fixes including cleaning the by pass valve. I don't feel I should have do get into maintenance issues on a product that is brand new with less than 3 hours of use on it. My final judgment on this washer is pending but as of this writing I am not satisfied with the reliability of this product.

Power Boss 020309 3,000 psi 2.5 Gallon-Per-Minute Honda GC190 Gas-Powered Pressure Washer Review

Power Boss 020309 3,000 psi 2.5 Gallon-Per-Minute Honda GC190 Gas-Powered Pressure WasherThis is my second Briggs & Stratton power washer.The first one died an untimely death, but I blame myself for not draining all the water out before a winter freeze.

Anyway, when I decided to replace it I knew I needed more power (who doesn't?), so I looked seriously at 3,000 psi units.Here's what I liked about the Briggs Power Boss:

1)Honda engine.Kind of strange that Briggs would put a Honda engine on one of their products, but I think Honda makes some of the best small gasoline powered engines.It starts right up and runs great.
2)The sealed pump that requires no maintenance.Considering how much homeowners actually use their pressure washers, I doubt that many (or any) were changing the pump oil as recommended.This eliminates that hassle.
3)The large gas tank lets you run the unit until you're probably thankful that it finally ran out of gas.
4)Pneumatic wheels make the unit easy to move around.
5)Quick-connect sprayer tips.
6)On-board detergent tank.My old p/w just had a suction tube, so if you wanted to move the unit you had to be careful not to knock over the detergent bottle and spill it.

In a perfect world, the pump would be made of solid brass, but that would entail a major cost increase.I would also prefer a longer (maybe 50') hose, but maybe that's the laws of physics kicking in -- it may not be practical on a 3,000 psi unit.

Overall operation is simple, and the unit does pretty much everything I could reasonably expect it to.Anything more and I should get myself a true commercial model, but that's a big jump in price.

I can highly recommend this unit.
