Purchase at your own risk

I purchased this Briggs & Stratton 2550 psi Elite Series power washer. It worked wonderfully for awhile. It started easily, and was very user-friendly. I liked the three different nozzles, and the customization that they provided.

One morning after running for less than five minutes, it sputtered for several seconds, produced a large bang, and stalled. When I tried to restart, it was obvious that the engine had seized - likely the connecting rod had broken, as well.

The engine had a total of only about 10 hours of use time on it when it failed. I had just filled it with gas and checked the oil only minutes before. Since the unit was only about a month old and still under manufacturer's warranty, I thought that I only had to deal with the inconvenience of a warranty claim. Wrong.

I delivered the unit to our local authorized B&S Service facility for a warranty claim. They tore down the engine and reported their findings to Briggs. Briggs' alleged response was, "was there metal-to-metal bonding?" Answer: "yes." Briggs' response: "owner abuse, not covered, end of discussion." I appealed directly by phone to Briggs and Stratton in Milwaukee - they committed to sending their territory field manager to the repair facility for a personal inspection and 2nd opinion. Three weeks later, he showed up unannounced during lunch hour (I had requested to be notified of his visit so that I could attend), he glanced at the engine, indicated that there was no evidence to negate the original diagnosis of owner abuse, and departed after spending no more than five minutes at the dealer. The dealer rep who had inspected the engine was not present (he was at lunch, unaware). I continued my appeal and shipped the engine to Milwaukee - two months later, "denied." No explanation.

Call me disgruntled, yes. But I am a 50 year old engineer and have been around engines all my life on the farm and in my work. I understand Briggs' conclusion as being an obvious and viable explanation, but I am very unimpressed with their warranty process. There was absolutely no effort to understand this problem or to consider that it could be a manufacturing/assembly defect. I also understand Six-sigma quality control, and would expect others to have had, or will have, this same problem in the future. I am absolutely convinced that this problem was not owner abuse or neglect. I don't know how the inspection in Milwaukee was conducted, but until that point there was no evidence that Briggs' devoted any more than a few minutes of intellectual effort to the situation. Briggs' warranty claim process is a farce.

Briggs has a long-standing reputation for quality and customer satisfaction. Sorry to say, I saw none of it with my abbreviated experience with this power washer.

To add additional insult to injury, I had purchased an extended warranty plan.

Great Product

My power washer was delivered the same week I ordered it. I use this product at least twice a week. It really comes in handy for everything around the house. I use it to clean my gutters, driveway, porch, bricks (my house), soffits around my house (spiders), and also to wash my cars.

The only complaints I have for this product is that the wheels are a little wobbly and the platform fell off the frame. Easy fixes though. Sometimes when I start it the high pressure comes in and out, but it eventually comes back and runs perfectly until i'm done.

Pressure washer best-buy

A really nice machine at a great price. Excellent performance and very pleasantly surprised at the quality. Somewhat light packaging but arrived without damage. Easy assembly.

Features - Appears to be accurate, quality Honda clone. Big wheels. Nice one-touch folding handle. Decent hose length (14 paces). Good connectors. Powder-coated frame.

Minor annoyances - Handle-folding mechanism crowds pressure-regulator knob. Fuel cap is shallow, slightly difficult to grip. Hose rack is wider than necessary and gets in the way when maneuvering in tight spaces. Hose rack/gun holder is dysfunctional when handle is folded down.

Note - Back off pressure regulator somewhat before starting engine.

Recommendation - Chop off hose rack and weld a dog-legged post on frame to attach hose reel Briggs & Stratton Pressure Washer Hose Reel #6052 (not a live reel, but cheap and compact, fits above pump).

Very Good Homeowner Unit

This is my second Briggs & Stratton power washer. The first one died an untimely death, but I blame myself for not draining all the water out before a winter freeze.

Anyway, when I decided to replace it I knew I needed more power (who doesn't?), so I looked seriously at 3,000 psi units. Here's what I liked about the Briggs Power Boss:

1) Honda engine. Kind of strange that Briggs would put a Honda engine on one of their products, but I think Honda makes some of the best small gasoline powered engines. It starts right up and runs great.
2) The sealed pump that requires no maintenance. Considering how much homeowners actually use their pressure washers, I doubt that many (or any) were changing the pump oil as recommended. This eliminates that hassle.
3) The large gas tank lets you run the unit until you're probably thankful that it finally ran out of gas.
4) Pneumatic wheels make the unit easy to move around.
5) Quick-connect sprayer tips.
6) On-board detergent tank. My old p/w just had a suction tube, so if you wanted to move the unit you had to be careful not to knock over the detergent bottle and spill it.

In a perfect world, the pump would be made of solid brass, but that would entail a major cost increase. I would also prefer a longer (maybe 50') hose, but maybe that's the laws of physics kicking in -- it may not be practical on a 3,000 psi unit.

Overall operation is simple, and the unit does pretty much everything I could reasonably expect it to. Anything more and I should get myself a true commercial model, but that's a big jump in price.

I can highly recommend this unit.

Questions & Answers
Question : Craftsman Gas Power washer, hose is dry rotted;?
I have a Craftsman Gas Power Washer 2250 psi, model number 580-768030, can anyone tell me the "special tool" used to disconnect the wand hose from the pump housing. My hose is dry rotted, need to replace, however, can't get the the connector disconnected from the pump housing.

Answer:
Is it a quick connect connection? Where there is a brass sleeve that you pull back and the connection pops apart. It could have lime deposits making it stick. Try a pilers to wiggle it back and forth and spin the sleeve around.

 

Question : Oil in the gas tank of our power washer by mistake? What can flush the oil out?
By mistake and excitement oil was put in the gas tank of the new power washer we bought...How can it be flushed out?? We emptied the tank and washed it out with a dry cloth best we could...All info and help would be appreciated.. Right now we have gas in the gas tank but it coughs and pops and sputters like the Absent minded professors old car....hehehe Thanks for the suggestions for how and what to flush this out with.... 8-)

Answer:
You mostly already have. Now remove by siphoning (or some other way) the contaminated gasoline, and refill with fresh gasoline. That should burn a lot better, but use it all the way down to empty, where it actually runs completely out of gas and stops on it's own. From then on, everything should be normal..... normal..... normal.

Question : Is it ok to run a Craftsman gas powered pressure washer in the rain?
Just bought a Craftsman pressure washer. Gas powered. Briggs & Stratton engine. I believe it's a 190cc. Using it on a huge fence and deck. Forecast is for rain for the next few days. Really want to get the job done. Rain doesn't bother me, but is it bad for the motor?

The heat produced from the device running is enough to evaporate any moisture it comes in contact with, ie, light rain storm, inadvertant spray.

Question : How do you switch from gas to electric in your home?
I am buying a home and it has a gas stove and gas powered washer/dryer. All of the appliances I would be bringing with me are electric. Do you have to get someone to re-wire the house? Or is there another way to do this?

Answer:
I assume you are concerned about just your appliances, not fixtures in the house like the furnace or water heater. If the proper outlets are already on the wall, then all you have to do is plug the electric appliances in (and of course cap off the gas lines). No big deal. Many appliance retailer / installers can do this for you. If the proper outlets are not on the wall, then you will have to call an electrician. Most houses I've seen that have both gas and electric service are set up for both gas and electric appliances so a consumer can easily use either. I hope this helps. Please return and select a Best Answer from all of those submitted.

 

Question : Lots of gas in the oil resevior of Honda power washer???
I have a power washer with an 11hp honda OHV motor that recently broke down. It would run for a few seconds and blow a ton of smoke then stall. It wouldnt start again for about an hour and the same thing would happen. I started working on it and found that oil was coming out of the crankase breather hose back into the airbox...lots of oil. When I drained the oil I realized that there was a ton of gas in the oil..seemed like it was 40% gas. Any ideas how gas could be getting into the oil resevoir? Thanks!

Answer:
Youre lucky you didnt blow the motor up. When gas overflows the carb and finds it way into the oil - it thins it out enough to where the oil wont lubricate anymore and ruin the berings. The gas is overflowing the float bowl - number of things causing this? Dirty carb, bad float. Id remove and clean the carb thouroughly - all the lil pinholes - everything. Check to see if the float has been saturated with gas ( due to a pinhole- it happens) . The fuel needle seat could have dirt in it. The reason why it pushed it all out thru the breather is it didnt have anywhere else to go , when it overflowed it overfilled the oil and spit it out thru the breather.

What is the best brand of ELECTRIC power washer? I do not want gas... I've heard McCulloch, is this true?

Question : Gas powered pressure washer dies when pressure is turned on?
It runs fine, but whenever you turn the pressure on to wash, it dies. WTF is wrong with it? Where's that and how do I un-stick it!? Yeah, I thought about that but it's a Sears brand washer. Wal Mart doesn't sell them.

Answer:
Sounds like a lack of pressure built up in the pump. Let the unit run for a while before you pull the trigger on the gun.
