Simpson Cleaning 3200 PSI Gas Pressure Washer, 2.5 GPM Residential Power Washer with Soap Tank and Turbo Nozzle, 25' Hose, Clean Machine, 49-State (CM61456)

What a champ. Works great and not too loud. Easy to start.

It’s a simple and seemingly reliable washer with the power needed for residential use a couple of times a year. It runs for about 40-45 minutes on a tank of gas and it takes about 3-4 pulls to start after priming. Overall a good value in my estimation

This is an excellent machine out of the box. Fill with provided oil and go to work. It started on the second pull out of the box. You can't ask for more than that. Very good pressure washing all around the house.

I tried the pressure gun that comes with is for the first time today. It literally broke on the 2nd job of the day

It's a very good pressure washer I would buy it again

Works well easy to use runs ling time on tank of fuel

Summary: Any lawyers reading? The Simpson CM61456-S has poor material quality, missing parts, poor quality control, manual missing critical info, and is a high maintenance/difficult to use product. Do yourself a favor and buy an electric from a non-Simpson maker. Poor quality: Frame and support are mostly thin metal and plastic parts. This includes the wheel hub which will likely break if used even slightly rough given the weight of the engine. The CT170Z engine that came with this is made by Simpson's parent company for cost cutting measures, not the reliable one's we expected from Honda. Missing parts: This product (which seems to be unopened from the factory) did not come with a cheap but very critical component (intake water washer with screen). Missing this $1.50 part will void the warranty if any debris gets in and damages the water pump (~$120.00 part)! The manual claims the air cleaner should have a foam element and paper element, yet it only has a cheap foam element, no paper. Poor quality control: The hot water release valve opening is aimed at the front of the pressure washer instead of the floor as their own website even recommends. Water released from typical pressure washers is 140F which could cause 3rd degree burns! Bad Manuals: Both the website support and printed manuals are missing critical info. For example, they simply tell owners to "change the engine oil" but they don't show how to do this frequent maintenance. There is no mention on where the engine oil drain bolt is located or whether there is one at all. High maintenance/Difficult to use: Users must change the engine oil after first 10 hrs or 1st month of use and then after ever 30 hrs or 3 mos. Also need to maintain the air filter, spark plug, cylinder, piston, fuel hose, and carburetor. Using the wrong fuel (old fuel, low octane or high ethanol) will case engine problems and it is highly recommended to empty fuel before storage for 30 days or longer...so try guessing how much fuel you need to put in. Manual recommends waiting for the engine to cool down so the heat doesn't cause the gas fumes during refueling to catch fire if you didn't put enough.

It's ok. It usually starts up. You will have to replace something. My gun lasted like a month.
