(More customer reviews)I opted for this unit over many of the others I researched for its mix of features, brand reputation, warranty, and price range. Once it was delivered I had it assembled and running in minutes. Initially, I was a bit disappointed to discover the number of plastic components that were part of the construction. It "felt cheap" as I was putting it together. I may find myself upgrading some of the plastic parts(such as the wand handle) to something better, or I may be forced to do so as these parts wear out. Once I had it running (it started on the first pull of the cord) and tested it out on some surfaces, it did exactly what I needed it to do. The low pressure additives (soap, chemicals) inlet hose works great.
I bought this washer for a couple special projects that I needed to get done. The first was the cleaning of my pool surface and the other to take care of some badly stained concrete and pave stones. For both of these jobs the Briggs & Stratton 020274 is turning out to be a good choice. I was a bit surprised that in order to get the surfaces clean I needed to place the spray head pretty close to the surface which narrowed the width of surface I was cleaning - less than 2 inches wide. So at 3000psi I was still required to make several narrow passes over the surface to get the job done. I don't know if that tells me that a higher psi would get the job done faster or not. The experts all seem to agree that 3000 is plenty for the do-it-yourself-ers and general around the house jobs. In retrospect, I might have gone the next level if the price wasn't so incrementally higher.
I think I made the right choice and I would recommend it to others.
