Starting on
April 14th, there will be an instant $50 off coupon for this basic electric pressure washer.
This should be more than sufficient to clean most outdoor items.
- Redwood fencing
- Concrete patio/ pathways (very, very slowly)
- PERFECT for washing your car (granted, you're gonna need to spend some $ at Amazon for some upgrades: foam cannon, good soap, microfiber towels/ wash mitts, quick disconnects: these use m22-14 fittings)
** Do NOT expect the pressure of a gas pressure washer! This does about 1.2gpm. Check out Obsessed garage on YouTube for his observations on GreenWorks pressure washers (for washing cars).
** Similar to this model from the Greenworks website:

BUT, if you're not a professional detailer... It's hard to spend the $1000+ on just the unit. If you wash your car every weekend (or a few times a week), then definitely get the Kranzle. The GPM is much higher than these "home owner" units. The pumps on these will last for thousands of hours whereas the Ryobis and Green works will last hundreds of hours.
Thank you!

I had one of those cheaper wheeled ones for many years. Prefer the non-wheeled portable ones. Easier to move around and store on shelf or in a cabinet.
Thanks man!! Do I need a hookup for car or can use this!
The top reviews are horrendous on their warranty claims

For those that might be wondering about the warranty, I just got mine's in today and on the box, it states 3 year limited warranty on it.....so, it looks like Costco listed the warranty on their website incorrectly.
The Husqvarna felt really cheaply made. There were demo units in my Costco. Is this actually made by Husq or just branded?
I recommend you get a foam cannon and stubby gun. You can get one for around $30. The stubby gun makes the cannon much less unwieldy. Also make sure you purchase a 1.1 orifice with the cannon.
I also recommend QD for everything but that's not cheap($10 for each connection for good ones).
For soap, there's tons of options. CG watermelon foam or whatever it's called is fine but not great. It's cheap and readily available though. Adam's Car Shampoo is better but more expensive. Honestly though pretty much any of the well rated foaming shampoo's will work. If you're washing a ceramic coated car, get CarPro Reset or Gtechniq G-Wash.
Just know that a foam cannon doesn't actually do that much besides look cool. It'll do a bit but the best way to do it is use the foam as like a secondary lubricant to a normal 2 bucket wash. So like foam, wash mitt with 2 bucket while the foam is on, rinse. If you don't mind using a lot of water I'd recommend foam, let sit, rinse, foam, wash, rinse.
Of course this is all just the washing phase. You should also be doing decon, buffing, waxing, etc.
For everything or just like everything for an exterior wash?
For an exterior wash you'd want two home depot buckets, two grit guards, this pressure washer, a foam cannon and stubby gun combo($27 on Amazon), 1.1 orifice, wash mitts and car shampoo. You'll also need either a wax or a spray on coating. If spray on, get something good like CarPro. Also you may want tire dressing, wheel wash, etc.
Adam's car shampoo is great and available on Amazon, albeit a bit expensive.
Autogeek is amazing for great prices plus they have 25% off entire order.
It gets a lot more expensive if you want to do a good exterior detail. Clay, panel wash, etc.

Also, did anyone run into an issue with wobbly wheels when setting this up along with a short detergent hose that connects from the unit to the detergent container? I've reached out to Customer Support and they said that they would get back to me with some answers (I sent them pics of the issues). Wondering if I should just order another one and exchange it out at Costco rather than sit and wait for CS to get back to me.....

I bought this (as a gift for my bro-in-law)... Came in the same b+w box.
Unfortunately, it won't be opened for another month (gonna throw him a Covid B-Day party). So I can't answer your other questions.
