Can't really say how good it might be
I'd like to write a glowing review but I am being told that it will take a total of 46 days from the date of order until the scheduled ship date for an item that is supposedly "in stock". Totally ridiculous...

My wife is a pressure washer widow!
Love this pressure washer and recommend it for any homeowner. Easily has enough power to clean my concrete driveway, stucco house, wood and vinyl trim and patio.
The adjustable pressure switch on the handle is very convenient and a smart feature. I agree with some other reviews that larger wheels or relocating the hose connections from the bottom, back side would be helpful due to dragging the ground when tilting the washer to mov it’s location.
The electric start is great to have. Only one problem: the washer started up on its own while in the garage overnight! No water was connected and it did turn off fairly quickly but I wanted an electric start machine, not an auto start machine. It also turned off during use a few times on its own. When I called customer service about this, after having the washer less than a week, I was told it is under warranty and to take it to an authorized repair center. I was expecting Generac to replace the machine vs. repairing what seems to be an electrical or main board problem.

Need advice
I bought this unit and it worked great for two whole times i used it. Deck cleaning is easy especially with different heads.
Now my issue, i turned it off to add gas and now the pull start will not start it all all. If you use the electric start button it putters along for 10 secounds and never gains enough to operate . How can i fix this?

Works very well....but...
This pressure washer started instantly the first time I pushed the "Start" button. It does the job very well.
However, like many of these units the nozzles are very vulnerable to damage, especially the thermal release valve. Larger diameter wheels would provide better protection when going up and down stairways. The greater ground clearance might also allow the high pressure hose to remain connected without risk of abrading it when moving the unit.

Horrible
Battery did not last more than 6 months. Generac does not warranty its batteries at all! I have not found a replacement battery. I bought a pull start washer at an electric start price. In my opinion, a poor product, poor warranty and poor customer support.

One Washer for every job
Love how easy this thing is to use. Great quality you can expect from Generac and the flexibility you get with this model makes having a power washer more useful than ever before.

Awesome Pressure Washer
Out of the box the unit started right up on the electric start. After the engine is warmed up if you should have to shut it off it will not start on the battery. The reason is the automatic choke. You do not need to choke an engine that is warmed up. I was using this then I took about a 40 minute break and when I started it with the battery it started right up. This unit performed awesome for the fence that I cleaned and the sidewalk that I use the broom on. Made quick work of the sidewalk and the cement pad that we have. Both were never pressure washed and they come up looking like new.
Performance is great but I have some concerns. The pump is on the bottom of the unit and sits low to the ground. That makes it a little hard to move through grass areas. The gas tank is in a spot that does not make it easy to fill. Speaking of the tank it should be a little bigger. It gives you 30 to 40 minutes of run time.
Over all this is another awesome Generac product with some minor concerns
