Nice peace of mind knowing I got it from Costco should anything go wrong.

I'll finally be able to wash my cars too but I need to invest in a couple more tools such as a foam cannon to work with the pressure washer. Tons of good and cheap options available which is great.

Cool. I could use a new PW. Mine doesn't cut off when it hits a certain pressure, probably due to a leak somewhere. I'll have to look for the same one you got next time I hit Costco.

Great, pick one up if you can find one at your local Costco. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked on my driveway. Driveways are typically supposed to require higher PSI units but that definitely wasn't the case. Like I said though, if you do get one, you'll want to get a better hose for it. For this Husqvarna(Briggs & Stratton) model, you'll likely need to get an M22 15mm female thread to M22 14mm male fitting to accommodate one end of the pressure washer hose that connects to the PW unit. For some reason this brand uses a slightly different size for the high pressure hose inlet (not the garden hose water inlet). I think many of them use 15mm. Fortunately I watched a YouTube review on this particular unit and the guy recommended a better hose and the need for the adapter.

I bought an Uberflex 25' hose which is the same length as the OEM one. I kind've wish I got a 50' hose instead just to have more reach.

FYI: (adapter)

Can't wait to buy some car wash goodies to put this thing to use.

Very cool. Thanks for that info.

Gearing up for a trip later this year. Rocky talkies, slings for alpine draws, nuts, and hexes.

When you're nursing an ACL strain and itching to get back on the road.

TiMSport · 06-09-2021, 09:56 PM

As a follow-up on my pressure washer purchase the other day, I went ahead and ordered some accessories to wash my car. I'll need to wait for the weather to improve before using it but I've seen reviews and videos and it seems like it'll work really well. Bought some bodywash soap for the car by Chemical Guys. Due to a review I watched on YouTube it was recommended that I replace the stock foam cannon orifice nozzle with a smaller 1.1mm one which I went ahead and ordered. Supposedly this creates a much thicker foam that will stick to the surface of the car better.

Can't believe how inexpensive some of this stuff is on Amazon.

Gotta love the brand name of this foam cannon, lol. It's built solid with brass fittings and comes with an actual gun as well which may work better than the one that comes with the PW I bought. Several nozzles also come with it, pretty cool.

Hell I even bought a new garden hose to replace my old one. I heard good things about the Flexzilla brand and I needed a longer hose(75'). Hope it's worth the $$.

TXSTYLE · 06-09-2021, 10:42 PM

Can't ever have enough bits. And I grabbed these for under $3 on a Lightning Deal.

Nice! I just pulled the trigger on one of these from Amazon. A pressure washer that is.

Been looking specifically for a orange, silicone/rubber sport watch.

Cool. What did you end up getting? You probably saw it the other day but I got a Husqvarna electric PW at Costco.

So I just found out that from TODAY Costco is selling the very same PW I just bought for $40 off! Damn it. Lol. It's now only $149.99 which is a steal.

M_Six you're in luck if you haven't already purchased one.

M_Six · 06-12-2021, 01:39 PM

I haven't yet, but I should get up there (an hour north) and grab one soon.

I would. I mean for that cheap price it's worth the drive IMO.

A price must be the asset to be cheap (or expensive). Just low (or high) otherwise.

That's, if you don't know the meaning of your words (or just too careless using them), how can the other party be sure?

With that said, there are people with extremely limited vocabulary leaving you guessing what they mean (if you only care).

1MOREMOD · 06-12-2021, 03:13 PM

I already have higher psi gas one but for cars and just keep in garage may be worth a look

So were you confused as to what I meant?

It's definitely worth it for washing cars at least. I got some other accessories to use with the PW for that however. Works great.

I'm in no rush for it, so I ordered it online. The sale ends next week and I'm not sure we'd be up there before then. Now they can bring it to me.
