Works Well On Electric Pressure Washer

Would Recommend

I bought this surface cleaner knowing it is intended for a 2200-3400 PSI gas pressure washer and I have an electric 1750 pressure washer. I modified the trigger handle from an older electric pressure washer I once had and bought the quick connect for attaching to this unit. I've read and seen videos of other users stating this unit did not work/spin for them with pressure washers of lower psi like mine. I also watched videos and read reviews of others who explained to lube up the spinning part...

Wish I'd bought this SOONER

I spent a couple hours trying to clean my exposed aggregate drive way last weekend with a regular 40 degree nozzle and after all that time I still had lots of moss growing in it. I decided to try this rotating cleaner and WOW what a difference. In 45 minutes I had the drive way and all other concrete walkways clean and moss free. Really a great product. After reading reviews saying some of these stopped working I decided that I would take the rotating head off and grease it before and after ...

AWESOME!!!

Would Recommend

Where has something like this been my whole life. I have spent countless days powerwashing my pool area and now I spend countless hours. This device is saving me so much time. I Love It! 3 hours vs 3 days is all I can say. If you have a deck like mine then spend the money, no, invest the money so your time can be spent with your family. I have a 3100psi PW and it works great with no streaks. Buy it for your sanity because you won't regret it. Best purchase I have made for my home. Great product!...

2200 PSI barely enough to spin rotating wand.

Would Recommend

I bought this to clean my concrete driveway. It works exactly as advertised. My pressure washer is rated at 2200 PSI. This is barely enough pressure to spin the rotating head. I took mine apart and put red grease on the hub. Spins much more easily and faster.

Did not work

Would Not Recommend

Bought and worked for about 10 minutes and then rotated too slowly to clean. Took it back.

Great performance, slight issue

This attachment works great and saves time! Worth the purchase. As in previous reviews, the nozzles get clogged by thread sealer used in manufacturing. This seems to have been happening for years! I am, and encourage others to call Briggs and Stratton to issue a complaint. Easy to take off nozzles and clean, but why should the consumer be burdened with this?

Do not buy

Would Not Recommend

I tried this with 3 different pressure washers ranging from 1600psi to 3200psi. Average 2.5 gallons per minute. All it did was leave swirl marks. Tried the lubrication and other cleaning techniques recommended by youtube. Nothing worked. Went to Home Depot and bought the red EZ Clean. Worked like a champ with all 3 of my pressure washers. Buy the EZ Clean. Same price. You're welcome.

Fix For Not Working

Would Recommend

There's a manufacturing defect with this product that is EASILY fixed. You'll read other people saying this stopped working after 15 minutes and they had to return it. The defect is in the sealant/grease that they put on the threads of the two nozzles where the water comes out. It gets all gummy and solid and clogs the nozzles which makes the thing stop spinning/working after 15 minutes. the solution is simple... unscrew the nozzles and wash them in your sink. make sure to stick a pin or small t...

Would Not Recommend

Was going to clean the portico of our church and purchased this a couple of days ago to speed the process up. Attached it to mu 2500psi 3.1g/min pressure washer and worked great for about 3 minutes. Stopped spinning. The unit spins freely by hand but slows down to zero when used on my pressure washer. Going to lubricate the unit and try it again on my home driveway. (Had to give up at the church and spent 5+ hours cleaning using the wand with no attachment!). More to follow...

complete trash and not worth it.

Would Not Recommend

IF this product would continue to work then it would receive a 5-star rating. I have purchased 2 of these back to back.... the first one worked for about 1 hour. I stopped to refill the fuel ok the pressure washer and when i went to start again, the nozzle wouldnt spin and it was just 2 streams of water. I returned it thinking that was defective and got another to finish the job. The second one did the exact same thing after only being used for 10 minutes. This is also going back. Dont waste yo...

Junk

Would Not Recommend

I used this cleaner for three hours before it stopped. I read prior reviews detailing the same problem, but I thought that, since this was a newer model and many of the earlier complaints were 3+ years old, surely the problem had been fixed. It has not. It is not a very complicated device, so $70 for something that won't last one day is pretty pricey.

Stopped spinning.

Would Not Recommend

First one I picked up didn't spin at all. Returned it because box was already open. Second one worked for about 30 minutes and stopped spinning. If I raised it in the air the whole unit would spin. I see others had the same problem and cleaned jets etc....Took it back,I'm done with faulty equipment.

Incredible product

Would Recommend

Bought this to clean a 12×36 deck before staining. I allowed 4 hours to wash the deck. I was done in 45 minuets and that was going over it twice. Awesome product. Wish I would have discovered it years ago.

Great product. saves time and water

Would Recommend

Was skeptical about this but tried it. Works great. Washed 3700 sq. ft. of driveway, pad, patio, sidewalks, etc. Normally takes 2 6 hour days or so with nozzle; did it in 2.75 hours. Consider getting a longer pipe or handle so one does not have to stoop; I am 6 ft. tall and needed a few more inches. Remember this item floats over the concrete; do not try to push it or scrub since it has a brush around the edge. It needs larger washers and metal sleeve for the rotating part to prevent wear ...

Excellent tool using a 33" extension Wand

Would Recommend

I bought this accessory after buying a Generac 3200 Speed Wash and a 33" extension wand. I am 6' tall so the regular wand requires bending over to scrub, a task I did for two (2) hours yesterday. The next work session doing a gas station driveway should be easier on my back. The 14" scrubbing path gets the job done usually in two passes depending on the amount of mildew petrol chemicals and soil embedded. I find that smooth concrete cleans up faster.

Amazing. Paid for itself in first use!

Would Recommend

Bought this today- ordered online, picked up in store and started cleaning my concrete steps and driveway after taking my son for a sports physical and getting dinner done. This job normally takes me 4 to 6 hours depending on how much grime has built up - I would not even have started it after dinner, but was excited to try my new "toy" and see how much I could get done. I finished the job in 2.5 hours with about half the gas I normally use and I am THRILLED. Live in the Pacific NW and have t...

Makes a huge difference in results and saves time

Would Recommend

Extremely satisfied with this accessory for my Generac 3200psi Speed Washer. I bought it in mid-July 2017. At my home it made the surfaces cleaner and where there were automotive fluids to remove so I started with degreaser suds. I've been pressure washing a restaurant property for a month and the device gives better results than back and forth swaths.
