Even Harbor Freight gas pressure washers are $100 more than this.
Follow these pieces of advice and it will continue to start and remain powerful without problems.

In other news, this will be my first gas PW, and looking for some recommendations in terms of accessories. Interested in that circular cleaner for large areas, but not sure which one.

Just trying to save people frustration. A gummed or inefficient carburetor is never fun.

I couldn't find any reviews on this unit which concerns me a bit, OTOH Sam's has been as good as Costco to me in terms of returns.
I even returned a junk electric SunJoe pressure washer I bought there after I used it and was extremely unimpressed, and they took it np.

If so, just use ethanol free fuel with stabil and when you are done with the pressure washer leave it running and shut off the gas. Let it run until the motor chokes itself out.
I use ethanol free fuel with stabil added in all my small engine equipment and my lawn equipment will sit 6+ months at a time with the same fuel in the tank and I never have an issue firing it up next season.
I suppose if you don't have ethanol free fuel and don't want to add stabilizer, then draining the fuel is the best preventative measure.

So far I have just assembled it, bought my ethanol free gas, and put oil in it. Waiting until the weeked to actually use it.
I also read the manual which re-emphasizes not leaving gas in it, but they also don't address ethanol free at all...I also would think that using ethanol free would prevent the issues everyone seems to be worried about, especially with Stabil.
Unit seems well built, there is a gas shutoff, but the handling of the wand and cord storage is crappy to non-existent. Get what you pay for I guess. There is literally NO hose reel on this unit, though the instruction manual mentions one. That's...lame...but many manufacturers remove features from models to sell at Sam's, Costco, Wal-mart, in order to hit the right (lower) price points. TV's especially, but lots of other large appliances as well.
Can't really complain with the price, but If I was considering paying the non-sale price of this, I would be looking at units with more reviews, and not this seemingly stripped down version. I don't use soap in my pressure washers, so did not care that it didn't have a tank like so many (in fact was grateful since they usually just get in my way/take up space).
Will report back with performance later.
