Westinghouse Universal 15” Pressure Washer Surface Cleaner Attachment - 3400 Max PSI, 1/4” Connector - For Gas and Electric Pressure Washers

Our old power washer gave out and we wanted a new one so I set out to research the best options. I quickly decided I didn't want an electric or battery power washer due to lower performance/power. I wanted one with PSI in the 2700-3400 range based on the jobs we would use it for (deck, fence, sidewalk, driveway, house and maybe cars). After researching it came down to a 2700psi or 3200psi Westinghouse or a Sampson power washer. Consumer Guides led me to the Sampson options as they raved about their quality, build level, durability and performance. The price was a little higher, but I wanted something I could rely on for years.However, as I read customer reviews I was surprised at how many 1 star reviews there was for the Sampson model I was considering. Plus, the bad reviews were almost all consistent with a terrible Kohler engine and a pump that fell apart too soon. I know all products will have 1 star reviews (this Westinghouse did as well), but 8% 1 star reviews on the Sampson with every complaint pointing to the same two key parts (engine and pump), plus horrible customer service reviews when people tried to get a brand new or nearly new unit repaired were just more than I was willing to deal with. So, I chose the Westinghouse since the 1 star reviews were only about 2% and the 4 and 5 star reviews were much higher.I did find that some people complained about the unit coming broken and not being able to return it to Amazon. However, Amazon was very clear that while you can't return the item you can get a refund or replacement if it comes broken. Some reviews had a broken/cracked gas tank or other shipping issues so I quickly decided that was not a worry for me and that I would pout it together and inspect it right away to make sure it didn't arrive broken or defective. It didn't and the assembly was quite easy with set up instructions and the parts each in their own bag that was labeled so you knew what bag/item to involve according to the instructions. Within 30 minutes I had the unit together and power washing.I will say that after reading the reviews I found some great tips that we decided to follow. First, we went to Ace Hardware and purchased a connector with a 60 degree angle so that the garden water hose that brought water into the unit didn't rub or rest against the wheel. I agree that this is a design flaw as the input valve is in the back of the unit just inside the back left tire and instead of pointing back away from the power washer it points directly towards the right side of the unit and the right tire. After reading a couple other reviews that suggested getting a connector with a 45-90 angle we purchased one with a 60 degree angle so that the hose then angled backwards away from the power washer and didn't rest or touch the right tire at all. Others had expressed that not doing this had led to their garden hose getting a hole worn in it by resting on the tire as the unit vibrated.The other suggestion that we did was to zip tie the power washer hose to the frame on the right handle right after where it attaches to the unit. Otherwise the hose comes out and runs right near the muffler that gets very hot. Customers had described how their hose touched the muffler and melted. A zip tie easily fixed this so that was not a concern at all and zip tying it didn't hinder the performance of the hose at all.We washed our large (20x12) Trex deck and 14 stairs leading from the deck to the yard, plus a rectangle table, 6 chairs, deck rail and our Traeger grill/cover all in about 30 minutes. Everything looked great and you could see the dirt easily wash off after a full fall and winter of not being cleaned. My wife even tested it on the side of the house and the concrete by the bottom of the stairs and it did great there, too. It's great that it comes with multiple easy exchange nozzles that also clip right into the power washer tray by the handle so they don't get lost.We've only used it once, but it worked great and was more powerful than our previous one. The 5 included nozzles will be able to handle every job we will want to do. So far we couldn't be happies and are glad we chose the Westinghouse model.

Worked great with my 3200 psi gas pressure washer to clean my stamped concrete patio. It's lightweight and it moved easily over the concrete surface. Powerful enough to clean several years of dirt in one or two passes. Much faster and easier than using a nozzle on the end of the wand. It is lightweight, so keep some downward pressure on it when using or else it will lift off the surface. Because it's circular, you'll need to use the wand and nozzle to clean corners. After cleaning, I used a wand and nozzle to quickly rinse the dirty pooled water out of the texturing in the stamped pattern.

This surface cleaner replaced one from another manufacturer. I chose the new surface cleaner as I have a Westinghouse pressure washer which is the best I have owned. I thought the accessory would be of the same quality and I wasn't disappointed. I have cleaned three driveways and over 100 feet of sidewalk on the first weekend. The surface cleaner sticks to the surface being cleaned and does a thorough job without streaking. Some stubborn stains needed an extra pass but much better results than my old surface cleaner. It saved me time from the previous job. It connects and disconnects easily.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I asked my son in law if this would be compatible with my model for an electric power washer 2400 psi. After researching, he confirmed that it would be. It arrived within a day and packaged very well. The connection was easy and worked as it stated with no overspray and keeping my shoes dry. I only did a small patch since it’s just too hot today to be outdoors, but appears to work in cleaning my pavers. The accumulation of water will need a wet vac so that the dirty water doesn’t settle back in where the pavers dip down and cause it to be dirty again. I’m sure if everything is level it won’t be a problem at all. I will give an update to my review after I’ve used it more.

I bought this pressure washer attachment to use to clean my deck. It is amazing!!! I had a composite deck built 3 years ago and it is beautiful - my favorite place to be. I knew it had gotten dirty over that short time, but had no idea how bad it was til I used this product. This attachment did an absolutely fantastic job!! The colors are back and the I can again see the detail of the boards that had been gradually lost. I am VERY happy I bought this and plan to use it on my driveway next. Simple to use. I had looked at ones that have wheels and was a bit hesitant in buying this one as it has none. You definitely do not need them as this one worked very smoothly. No spray came shooting out the sides. The spray was completely contained to do the job. Easy to use. Just have to guide it over area you want to clean and it does the rest of the work for you. This was a great value, I recommend it 100% and love the job it did for me!!
