Ratings & Reviews for Generac OneWash 3100 PSI Cold Water

Haven't had to use...yet

I will edit my rating once I actually have to use the generator. I'm giving it 5 stars for service/installation

Peace of mind!

Since installing this unit a month ago weve experienced 3 power outages and couldnt be more pleased with how quickly the unit kicks on and keeps our home functional and comfortable.

Totally a waste of our very hard earned money!!!

Nothing but problems with our Generac less than 4 years old. Failed every time there was a power outage. Would not recommend to anyone !!!

Not good for Canadian weather

Would give a 0 star but can’t … not good for Canadian weather and “special” snow … biggest waste of money I’ve ever spent .. plus starter broke . Now I have P..T.S.D generator disorder..when a storm starts a brewing it’s a 80/20 chance it will start !!!

not a good pick for me

first carb went bad, then it siezed up over the winter inside garage

Generac 3600 psi. I’ve had mine for several years now and the only thing to complain about is where the the wand screws into the gun. It’s very weak connection and I have broken it three or four times. For those of you having difficulties starting your unit…place the gun on the rack with the trigger activated, choke it, start it and unchoke it. It will start right up. Let it idle for a sec, deactivate gun, throttle it up and your good to go.

Disappointed

Bought the 3200 psi. Used twice and always hard to start. It's a pull start. Always made sure gas w a spark Used up before storing thru winter. Air filter clean, controlled choke, spark plug replaced under generac specs, release pressure after attempting to pull start, carburetor was clean. It's just hard to start. Would not recommend.

Expensive Repair Costs

I bought my 2900 PSI power washer in 2020. I got 4-years of operating from the unit. I went to start it up this spring and couldn't get the unit to turn over. I took the unit to an authorized Generac repair shop near me, and I was told the carburetor was damaged beyond repair and a new carburetor was needed. The repair cost was half the original price of a new unit. I elected not to invest in the repair and bought another brand. I expected this Generac powered washer to last longer than t...

Somewhat hard to start

It NEVER starts easily- quite possibly the worst thing I have ever spent money on. I have an irrational hate for this machine that worries me a little about my mental well being. Unless you love pulling a crank start motor 1.3 million times and nursing blisters for 3 days afterwards I’d rethink purchasing this power washer.

Excellent pressure washer.

I bought my General One Wash 5 years ago. This thing is a beast. It starts on every the first or second pull every time. The washer always works great. I have had to replace seals on the pressure washer gun a couple times. For all of you griping about your units not starting, I only run alcohol free fuel in my unit. I change the oil every season. I always put the pump storage product in the pump when I finish using it if it will not be used for a couple weeks. In the fall after I wash my tracto...

NO Problems!!

I've had my Generac 2900 for about 6 or 7 years now. Always starts right up with NO problems - may take a second pull but never more. Driveway several times, cars, sidewalks PERFECT for all these jobs! Users having problems with it starting should NOT STORE it for extended periods of time as the gas will build up water in it and then YES, it wont start. Generac ,makes great produncts. We have a 5500 Generator from them as well - both run great,

Bought new last year, new motor still not OK

Last year during the memorial day sale I purchased the Generac 3200 on sale. About a weekend of use 3-4 hours. It seized up after we took a break for lunch. I took it to a dealer who told me it was run without oil. I explained it was full of oil and they took it in for repair. of my very large patio. A month later, I was told they were waiting on general. Last month almost, a year later, I got a call to pick up the unit. I was told the issue was a cracked flywheel. The unit was in immaculate co...

Onewash still running great after 12 years

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased a Onewash when I bought my home 12 years ago to clean the driveway and it still is running great. The one issue I had recently is that the plastic female water hose connector on the pump appeared to be worn to a point where the hose kept falling off. I was ready to replace the pump but then thought since I got so many good years out of this pressure washer, why not just get a new one. As a last-ditch effort for a low cost solution, ...

Vary poor quality

I attempted to start multiple times, the On/off button power is labeled with a 0 and I this needs to be corrected as I did not know what I meant!! Then it started smoking really bad, then shut itself off!! Yes I read the manual and had everything set as recommended. I have a 2000psi electric unit and this washer preforms better than the Generac!! which is why I purchased it!! I want to return it!! The soap and yes I used your reccomended type of soap is a joke suds everywhere! used all nozzles a...

if it starts.....

we purchased this unit for the high PSI rating, right out of the box the unit would start on the first pull, but if you shut it down it would not restart after breaking your shoulder on the pull cord, you would have to let the unit cool off for 24 hours and then it would start on the first pull but don't shut it down because it will not restart for a full day, emailed Generac about the issues never heard back from them, emailed the company i purchased it from and nothing but crickets, called a d...

The Generac 3200 is a GREAT deal on all levels!

I recently owned a Generac 3100 pressure washer, brought it inside each winter, and got 10 years out of it with moderate, residential use. I was literally sad this year when the pump went after my first use this Spring. I returned to Home D., where I'd purchased it back then, but they've switched their brand to Ry-bi. I went through THREE of them, the first 2 with oil leaks out of the box, and the 3rd with a bad pump after 40 minutes of use. I finally got smart and went online to see where I cou...

faulty pump.

purchased my unit model G0079540 in May of 2022. Worked great until this year. Pump cracked at a screw hole and took away all the pressure. The pump that came with the unit is not the stock pump for the 79540. Contacted the factory and they brought up the schematics for the pump attached to my unit. Cannot just buy the top cap for the pump. Have to purchase the entire pump for $185.00 plus tax and shipping. Well over $200.00. Only paid $400 for the whole unit. Not a good investment if y...

Great power washer, very good performance

More than powerful enough to wash most anything on my large property. I use it often. Easy start, durable, well made.

Cost of replacement pump

I recently tried to replace the water pump for this unit. Unfortunately Generac quoted the price @ $1049.00. The entire pressure washer cost $699.00 This is a simple inputting mistake or Generac is selling inferior products and then expects us to replace our products at full prices. Generac should do better.
