" ...  It took several attempts to sucesfully use the surface cleaner, but it was worth the effort.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I've used a high end pressure surface cleaner in the past and I feel it always needed to be adjusted. ... It glided smoothly and didn't leave any streaks, and that makes me wonder if a pressure washer with less PSI would perform the same.  ...  "

comment
" ...  For my first time using a surface cleaner this thing was great. ... Even though I had some issues with the one I purchased it still beats cleaning the house and driveway with a standard attachment any day. ... Fitting did loosen after +/- 350 square feet of cleaning. ... Nevertheless it cut the time it takes for my annual driveway cleaning almost in half.  ...  "

" ...  The product did a great job cleaning with my 2800 psi power washer, the drive is nice and bright just like new concrete.  ...  "

" ...  Since you may have to do this several times in the future it's not good to gorilla tighten them each time, or the threads will strip. ...

comment
" ...  The one complaint I have about it is a poor design with the 2 plastic/nylon nuts that hold the spray assembly that protrudes through the top of the unit. ... After using the attachment for a little while I noticed it seemed a little loose. ... I checked the large nut on the top and noticed it was loose, so I tightened it. ... A little while later I noticed it was loose again so I tightened it again but also looked underneath this time. ... Luckily I had, because the problem was the bottom nut was the one that had become loose and was nearly to the point of it coming off (maybe 1 thread left holding it). ... The nuts should be (semi-) permanently attached or use metal nuts so they can be tightened better. ... I'm snugging the plastic nuts with pliers but afraid of tightening them too much for fear of them breaking.  ...  "

comment
" ...  Fitting was so loose it was falling apart out of the box. ... I took it to the work bench broke it down and properly resembled it. ... I'm worried that the plastic housings or its plastic attachment point might break from the force already causing it to loosen.  ...  "
