So far this has been a reliable product that has performed within its limitations.
I decided on electric over gas after discussions with landscapers and deck builders. Both advised that long term use of the more powerful gas washers raised the grain too much on wood decks and resulted in damage. Also, both suggested that if you are not using a gas powered washer often, they become difficult to start and run poorly. This from guys who use them regularly and still experience those problems. I wanted something easy to use and easily stored. I find it simple to operate and so does my wife.
The rotating scrubber head works very well on both wood and concrete--especially exposed aggregate. The other head works pretty well but I recently had trouble with it maintaining pressure. We've used it on our wood deck, exposed aggregate pool deck, concrete and asphalt driveway.It's worked just fine. Again you don't have unlimited pressure but the 1850 provided more than enough to complete each job faster and better than a regular hose.
I have not experienced any problems with hooking up the hoses but I'm pretty careful about it. Nothing has worn out but the handle used on the hose reel fell off. I think a larger screw will solve that problem.
Easy to use. Easy to store. Just make sure you have a large enough extension cord and you are using a receptacle that has few other demands as it will trip a breaker otherwise.
Nice little machine that makes household projects a lot easier.No waiting or paying ridiculous costs for a "professional" pressure washer. I would give 5 stars but I'm waiting to see how it holds up in the long term.

First 1 broke when i was screwing it on by hand. Called northern tool to return and they offered to ship out a new one and they said just trash the broke 1. I said i just wanted a refund so they told me i would have to send the broke 1 back and they sent me a shipping label. I shipped broke nozzle back with a note about having to pay for shipping on defective product.2 days later i get a new nozzle in the mail and 3 days after that i get a refund minus shipping. Cheap product but great customer service from Northern Tool Co.
