Ratings & Reviews for Briggs & Stratton Rotating Surface Cleaner

Quality, Time Saving Product

I purchased this high pressure surface cleaner to help with my annual concrete pool deck cleaning project that typically takes me 10 - 12 hours each year in the early summer. This cleaner with its 3,000 psi rating exceeded my expectations and I was done cleaning my "cool deck" concrete deck in 90 minutes. I have seen these high pressure cleaners previously, but they were typically priced outside of my comfort range for limited home project use. This unit was on sale for $49 and I immediately bou...

One of the great inventions of the 21st Century

Wow. What a time-saver. And if that's not already enough, it does a better job than you will do. Instead of stripes on your driveway from a 25 degree tip, you will have nice 12" wide swaths, in the same amount of time that one pass with the green tip takes. But wait! That's not all! This will clean "sensitive" surfaces like fabricated stone products without danger of etching pulsing lines in them. It does a fantastic job on the "stone" cap on my brick wall. And it does it 10x faster than I've e...

Great Surface Cleaner!!!!!

I had not cleaned my driveway for several years and it was very black from mildew and/or mold that you get here on the Coast of NC. The last time I cleaned it, it took most of the day and was a back breaking job. I found this surface cleaner on the Lowe's web site and read many of the reviews before I purchased the product. I can not say enough good things about this surface cleaner. I had none of the problems that a few of the other reviewers have had and finished the driveway in a couple of ho...

Time Saver!

For $70 you can't go wrong with this surface cleaner. My deck is around 500 Sq. feet and I cleaned it in less than an hour. Worked great on my driveway as well. If you're doing a wood deck just be sure to be smooth and keep it moving. If you let it set in one spot too long the area will look like a UFO landed in a cornfield. I didn't have that problem on concrete. Hopefully my operator error will help someone! I've used it several times and it has not stopped spinning as other reviewers have not...

Well worth the money

Last year I borrowed my buddy's pressure washer to clean the driveway. It took all day using just the gun. So this year I went and bought my own Troy-Bilt 2200 PSI 1.8 GPM Gas Pressure Washer. At the store I saw this gadget and thought to myself...yeah right. I picked it up just to see how it handled the job. I'm sure glad I did. Without this cleaner it took me over two hours to clean my driveway. Now it takes about an hour. For $70 I sure hope it lasts, since it's made of plastic.

Works great, then quits

This device works so great on flat surfaces like garage floors and concrete driveways it is a fantastic time saver. Did my whole driveway and garage floor. BUT this is the second one I owned, I returned the first because it quit spinning at high rpm's for no apparent reason. No spinning, no working. I got 6 hours out of the first one, 4 hours on the second. I took it apart and cleaned it and silicone greased the bronze bearing, no help, it still didn't spin freely when spun by hand. So I took a ...

Very Good

I used the rotating surface cleaner two times. It worked well, it is not a professional quality cleaner but it does work sufficiently for around the house, small cleaning jobs which is what I bought it for.

Amazing, I wish I would've had this year ago.

Just have someone use a hose behind you as your cleaning, because it really does take all of the dirt off of whatever it touches.

Does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Does exactly what it is supposed to do. Wish it was made out of stronger material. But overall, cleans deck and driveway without streaks

B&S Surface Cleaner

Does a great job on driveways and other flat surfaces.

I love gadgets, but they don't always live up to the hype. I'm glad to say this gadget works!. It cut my time in half when I cleaned my patio and reduced my water usage while almost eliminating the mess of cleaning up.It also was very easy to connect to my power washer. I can't attest to it's durability, but at this time believe it will meet my expectations.

WOW!!! If you clean large areas, get this!

I have a huge concrete patio that gets filthy each year. I used to pressure wash it with the spray nozzle and it took ALL DAY. I bought this today on a whim. I saw it in the store and thought what the heck, I'll give it a try. I was hesitant because of the high price (well, what I thought to be high), but as soon as I got home and started using it, I commented to my wife on how it it's worth every penny. This thing works fantastic. Finally a product I'm truly happy with. It glides across the sur...

Never used before but glad I did this time

This came with the power washer in a special deal. I thought it would be a flash in the pan item but when I used it I was amazed. I've pressure washed my deck several times with just the wand sprayer but It never came out this clean nor did it damage the wood. This wood now looks like I just put in down, it's bright and clean. It even cleaned out the gaps between the boards. It used to take me 3 - 4 hours to do the deck but with this unit I was done in an hour. It doesn't get all the way to the...

A Helpful and Honest Review

Read all 70-some reviews before making this purchase.... Hooked it up to my Honda powered troy built 2700psi pressure washer, it started spinning and I started washing.. Worked good but had to go mighty slow. after 20 min It quit turning.. I took the cleaner back to the store and got another, by that time they had put more out on the shelf so I got a 'fresh' one. took it home and as soon as I hooked it up I noticed it was spinning much faster than the first ever did! I cleaned for about a tank o...

Great Attachment - Great Value

This surface cleaner is a great value and considerably cut down the time to clean all my concrete surfaces. Works very well attached to a standard pressure washer wand. Highly recommend this attachment for residential cleaning work. **Note, find a sewing needle to have on standby. One of the two pressure nozzles became plugged with debri which stops it from working. I needed to remove the nozzles and clean them using a sewing needle to unblock them. This is not a fault of the device though. I h...

Piece of Junk

It worked for about 20 mins. It stopped rotating and just sprayed water. I tried spinning it by hand but NG. It would be Great if it kept working! Don't walk away for this RUN!!!

Love it, but would stop rotating intermittently

The B-S surface cleaner did a great job of cleaning my drive way as long as the spray bar continued to rotate; however it started slowing down and stopped rotating altogether in about 20 min’s. The spray bar seemed to be free but did feel warm. Out of desperation I used a penetrating spray lube and that helped although I had to repeat every 20 min’s or so.

Does what it claims

I am very pleased with this item. It makes cleaning flat concrete driveways and sidewalks almost a pleasure. I did have one of the nozzles plug approx. 2 hours in to its use, Took the tip out and removed a small piece of debris and no more problems. Good item!

Worked great for a while... Now it doesn't spin

I loved this tool from the start! It cleaned so well and so quickly that I was amazed and was actually having fun. I was able to clean our pool deck (45" X 36'), 100' driveway and approximately 70' of sidewalks before it stopped spinning. While it was working it cleaned everything except a few rust spots. Our driveway and sidewalks are about 7 years old and had never been cleaned. They now look like new concrete. The bad thing is that toward the end of my project it stopped spinning. The two wat...
