Westinghouse ePX3500 Electric Pressure Washer, 2500 Max PSI 1.76 Max GPM with Anti-Tipping Technology, Onboard Soap Tank, Pro-Style Steel Wand, 5-Nozzle Set, for Cars/Fences/Driveways/Home/Patios

The ePX3500 exceeded my expectations. I was concerned that an inexpensive electric pressure washer might be more of a toy than a real performer, and therefore a waste of money. I had thought that l'd need to spend $300 or more on a gas unit and I didn't want to do that. But I saw glowing reviews for this unit in CNN Underscored, and then noted all the great Amazon reviews so I decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed. The unit is well designed and easy to use. Assembly was easy. I was delighted at how rapidly the turbo nozzle blasted through the years-old grime and stains on my concrete patio. Setup and use is very easy and intuitive. The easy portability is a real plus. I am very happy with this device. If you buy this, one thing I'd like to point out: An extra part not mentioned in the assembly instructions or parts list is provided. However, if you look at the upper cord hanger that is supplied and shown in the instructions, you can deduce that the the mystery part is a lower cord hanger and how it mounts to the unit is obvious. Having the upper and lower hangers installed makes cord stowage much better than if only using the upper hanger as shown in the instructions. I was surprised that the instruction sheets (even the online versions) omit this part, but no harm done once you realize what to do.

I fired this up out of the box and have to say I was dubious at first but I am impressed. I owned Campbell Hausfeld gas powered power washer for 20 years that was still working when I gave it to Goodwill because it was just too hard to start at this stage of my life. It was rated at 2,200 psi compared to this one rated at 2,500. Relative to pressure either this one is over rated or my other was under rated as I can get closer to wood with this one without cutting into the grain. That said, that's the only "knock" I can give it. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised when I opened the box and saw how tiny it is in comparison; storage will be a breeze. I used it out of the box to strip about 600 sq. ft. of cedar siding on my shop and it worked flawlessly. Very quiet to operate. I noticed some of the negative reviews poo-poohed the cord length and the cavitation when using an extension cord. Between the 25' hose and the 25' electric cord I can't imagine a residential environment where this can't work. When assembling "gun holster" I would note the end with the tab/hook goes into the slider and the tapered end is flush with the back of the housing (almost messed that up). All the components are plastic and if there is one knock I have it is the lower gun holster does not seem to want to stay in place so I may end up gluing it. In the end I guess it comes down to "would I recommend this to my brother or my brother from a different mother?" and to that I give an unequivocal; Yes (at least at this early stage)

For an electric pressure washer, this unit impresses. With an advertised 2500 PSI, this little unit is fairly quiet, lightweight, highly mobile thanks to its low center of gravity and generates more than enough pressure that the average homeowner or renter would need for most tasks like cleaning decks, siding, outdoor furniture, vehicles, concrete, etc. It has an auto shutoff when the trigger is not engaged and the ability to lock all or some of the wheels is a nice touch too. Assembly is quick and easy – no tools are really needed, although some may benefit from the use of a rubber mallet to LIGHTLY tap in the wheels and accessory holders. Both the hose and power cord have a decent length to them, and on-board nozzle storge is both convenient and secure. On storage, the unit won’t take up much space when you’re not using it. Several accessories are available – I purchased the short gun for tight spaces and foam cannon for cleaning the car even though a soap nozzle does come with the unit. Bottom line: Westinghouse has been around a long time – you can’t beat their quality. Great unit at a fair price. Highly recommend!

This is the 2nd Pressure Washer I received from Westinghouse as the first one was damaged when it was delivered, not sure if it was the packaging or the delivery that caused it. Nevertheless Amazon replaced it. The washer itself was pretty straightforward to assemble, however I will note that the botom holder for the gun and lance does not clip into the body so it falls out easily. I assume it is meant to clip in, but does not. The washer itself is easy to use, I used it to clean my garage floor, I did use the floor cleaner with the pressure washer for full disclosure. Once assembled the washer is easy to manuver and it is small enough to easily store out of the way, it is not heavy at all so lifting it up to store or carry it down stairs was very easy. Build quality could be a little better as mentioned previously the bottom holder does not seem to click into the body correctly and falls out. Otherwise for my first pressure washer it was pretty easy to use.
