FAIP Powerwasher PW1400Z 1,400 PSI 1.5 GPM Electric Pressure Washer With 19-Foot Hose Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well packed, good manual. Easy to maneuver with two large wheels in back and caster in front. Sometimes too easy to roll when on inclined surface. But this design preferable to prior upright washer that wouldn't budge unless moved with handle. Low center of gravity, it never threatens to tip over.
With first use Powerwasher worked fine until I released the nozzle trigger. The motor switch is designed to stop instantly when pressure limit reached. That was one of the main features I wanted. The motor labored for a few seconds and quit. And wouldn't resume. After trial and error I found extension cord was burned out. I replaced extension cord. Unit worked fine until I released trigger. Two cords burned out. With a third extension cord I was able to wash, stop, wash, stop repeatedly. I assume the pressure switch was initially stuck and allowed the motor to pump and labor until the current draw was so great it burned the extension cords.
As is common, in some areas the designers favored cute over safety and utility. The handle is tapered. Looks pretty, but feels like it's ready to slide out of your hand. Fortunately the unit is light and easy to carry. The cord spool is small diameter and requires too many turns to wind/unwind. Also rear spool end is square on the bottom. I haven't cut myself on the square corners, but it's uncomfortable. The design further aggravates because the inlet water hose adapter protrudes into the space your hand needs to wind the cord on the spool. Although it wouldn't have been as cute, they could have made a couple of tabs on top of the body so a user could easily, quickly and safely wind/unwind the cord. Also they should have made provision to store the GFI plug. The Powerwasher's sleek tapered front looks cute. However it should have been square because the pressure coupling is partially enclosed by the tapered bottom half. It could have been designed for quicker and more comfortable hookup.
After the initial problem, it has worked flawlessly. It's not a brute but it's handy and reliable for small cleaning jobs, or even big ones if you're patient. The instant on/off feature means you don't have to worry about burning out the unit if you are interrupted for minutes or even hours. I haven't detected any worrisome laboring sound or smell or performance deviation. It's a bargain and despite the negatives I love it.
