I just bought this pressure washer this last weekend. It was easy to put together, and ran like a top when I used it. The place to put the wand is nice. most wands fall off, this one stays put. An all around great product.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought this Friday and used it all weekend. I had no problems. This was a home applciation (deck, siding, concrete pads) and everything looks new again. I can't speak to the longevity of the product, but I'll comment again if there's a problem. A couple of things...I'm usually a non-reader of manuals- it's got a shooting end and a holding end- pretty easy to figure out, right? Read the manual. The oil comes with it, BUT IT'S NOT in the engine. Per manual, change oil after 3-5 hours the first time, so buy another thing of oil when you pick it up. Old car engines used to have break in periods too and if you didn't follow them, you would pay for it. Next oil change is at 50 hours. The tips don't stay in the on board holder well. They'll rattle loose. There's a screen where the garden hose attaches to the unit. I almost lost mine when I disconnected the hose. Make sure you don't lose it. Lastly, just from personal experience, drain the gas when you're done and let the enginge run itself dry. About the other reviews, all I can say is I wonder if they lost the fresh water screen or didn't change the oil after the first 3-5 hours.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Purchased this unit on Friday. It took about 15 minutes to assemble. Started on the second pull. In the first two days I used this machine for about five hours with no issues. Seems to runout of gas after one hour running time. Each time I ran it out of gas; filled tank; pumped the pump button three times as per instructions. Machine started on second pull everytime. Ocassionally I got it wet with indirect water from pool enclosure and had no problems.
I replaced a larger machine with this model and so far so good. Good machine for the dollar. Easy to lift and handle.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I manage several rental properties and have made use of my pressure washer for decks (works great on old grey decks!), siding, windows, sidewalks, even to remove pealing paint before repainting. This pressuer washer is very easy to transport and the Kohler engine performs great. I have found that if you run out of gas or shut it down- you need to pull the trigger on the wand before restarting or the pump builds pressure when you pull the rope. Once you know this, it starts great every time.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The Husky gasoline pressure washer with a Kohler engine is a 5 star product. For a home owner, it is easy to operate and light weight. My only wish is that it had a larger gas tank for at least a half of day of operation. Read and follow the owner's manual and you will not have any problems. Tumwater, WA Home Depot and the employees are the best.
Yes, I recommend this product.

First one out of the box would not start. Finally gave up and took it back. Home depot gladly exchanged it without question, and so I added the cheap 2 year extended warranty while i was there. The second identical one started on the first pull and had an amazing amount of power. The bonus nozzels are great. There was clearly a lot of design put inot hte product and it has a much better configuration compared to our old washer. We love the way the hose wraps up and stores, the way the handles clips on, the multiple locations to store the nozzels on the main unit or the spray handle, the fairly light weight so one person can put it into the truck, etc. After an all day marathon power washing session, we are delighted with the product, the home depot exchange policy, and the great price for so much washing power. Awesoem!!!.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Considering the other bad reviews, either I got lucky or other people don't know what their doing. Now on my second season of use. Probably have about 50 hours on it...did the driveway twice, patio area by the pool twice, portions of the house, etc. Starts very easy every time. No leaks, nothing. This is the 4th presuure washer I have owned and it has performed the best out of all of them. If you're looking to buy this model, I don't know what to tell you, other then it has worked perfect for me in Southern Florida.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is a great unit for the money. Easy to start and use. My only complaint is the hose that comes with it should be 50 feet. This way you can cover more area without having to move the unit around as much. The Kohler engine is plenty powerfull and not too noisy.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Out of the box very easy to assemble. Started on first pull and ran great
through out the project. Good pressure and performance. Wish it had a
larger fuel tank as had to fill three times but minor issue. Be careful
storing the tips on the on-board tip holder as they can/do come out of
there on their own....probably due to vibration and movement. There is
a secondary storage gizmo that works well. The on-board soap dispenser is great as you dont need another hose to drag around. Worked well on first outting.
Yes, I recommend this product.

recently purchased this power washer for cleaning our tractors during hay harvesting season.unit was easy to assemble and has plenty of power to do the job, we found that during initial start up and break in you should keep the wand depressed while pulling start rope to prevent pressure buildup which makes it difficult to start even after one pull. keep wand depressed pull one time and clean with all the power you would ever need. on board soap dispenser works great as well. easy to use and change tips, we use it every day,
Yes, I recommend this product.

So far I have not had any issues other than a little oil leak and I think that was because of over filling. The directions state to put the whole bottle in which I thought was much. I have since drained the oil to the correct level.
This is my second season using the washer. I had gas troubles this year as the I did leave some gas in it and it caused the carburetor not to recieve any fuel..This is a gas issue since this has happened with other tools I've owned. This has happened since we started using ethanol instead of MTBE.
I hope fuel stabilizer will solve this problem as well as running the unit out of gas.
I owned a Karcher and I had to rebuild the pump 3 times due to oil leaking and mixing in with the water. Even after the rebuild it still leaked.
Yes, I recommend this product.

... and then I tried something different and it works every time.
I lost track of how many times I followed the instructions on how to start this thing. I was actually on the phone with Huskey and getting nowhere when I gave it one more shot ... and accidentally squeezed the trigger on the wand as I pulled the crank.
tahdah!
The Rep was speechless.
I've had it over a year now and it hasn't given me any trouble at all since then

I purchased this washer in spring of 2010. I have had no problems with the pump or engine since new. Works great.I stored the unit indoors this year so I did not have to drain the pump, and on start up this year all seems okay. I also run race fuel (111 octane) in all my small engines and equipment and have never had an issue with bad gas. The race fuel does not seem to have a problem with shelf life and since I have no fuel troubles well worth the extra cost. I would recomend this washer.But if I had the extra cash I would purchase the washer with a Honda engine instead just because of the Hondas reputatuon.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I'm glad I didn't read a these bad reviews before I bought it. Starts every time no problems. Great pressure! I store it in my heated garage every off season. Maybe that's why I do t have the problems of other reviewers here. I'd buy it again.

When I brought it home the first time it started great, after the first fill of gas it would not start again. Engine flooded. Finally got it started and kept filling while it was running. Second, and third day of use was great, started on the first pull. Now on the 4th day it won't start, and is flooded again. When it works it is great, but getting it started may not be worth the trouble. Maybe if it had the Honda engine it would be better, but this Kohler is not what I expected. It also take a long time to build up pressure once started.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Right out of the box, this unit disappoints. The Kohler engine is very, very difficult to get started. Once started, the engine tends to stall often. The hose is a killer to re-wind, almost a 2 person job, which is ridiculous. Spend the extra money for the Honda engine, or pursue another brand...

I bought this towards the end of last summer and used it twice last year. This year I took it out and got it started up. No problem really with the Honda engine. The problem is that it seems the pump is seized or some other malfunction. No water comes out of the hose. None. Even if I disconnect the high pressure hose from the machine no water comes out. I checked everything that I could for clogs and don't find any. There must be blockage or some other problem inside the unit. So basically, I paid $300 and got 2 uses out of it. I am very disappointed in this product. Nothing in the troubleshooting section of the manual to address this issue. A google search showed that other Husky owners are reporting the same problem. Sounds like a design flaw. I recommend you skip the Husky and pay a little more for the Karcher.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Initial use was positive, the engine started with three pulls and the pressure washer cleaned like a champ. Worked great the first few weeks (total of 10-12 hours of use over a few weekends). Unit was stored in a shed and not used for a couple months. Starter cord broke after third pull, and now I am told the carbuerator needs to be replaced. Repair expense almost half of original cost, for a unit that is barely six months out of the box.
No, I do not recommend this product.
