    I just purchased one of these and I concur with the soap dispenser not functioning like it's supposed to. I found that if you fill the soap dispenser full of detergent, it just dumps it at super low pressure with no foaming. When the dispenser gets 3/4 empty, that's when it starts to foam. But it runs through soap very fast.

    it will knock it off but will take a long time to do. Best way to wash your house is to get a pump up sprayer and mix bleach with water to drop the bleach percent to about 1 or 2% (clorox and most bleach is 5 or 6%). then spray it on the siding and let it sit for 5-10 mins and rinse with a garden hose. If you want to invest in a pressure washer to do your house and driveway etc. get one that is atleast 2.5 preferably 3 or 4 gallons per min. Then you can buy an xjet and do it fast and easy. watch my video I just published called pressure wash your house like a pro.

    Laundry soap is specifically designed to not be sudsy though. When you're applying a soap that needs to sit on the surface, like washing your car, suds are ideal, but something like upholstery where you want the soap to soak into a fabric you want less suds.

    Hi there! I just bought this unit at home depot today, last one on the shelf $99.00. Looking forward to testing it out tomorrow. Just out of curiosity, are there any disadvantages to using an aftermarket foam cannon for cleaning the exterior of a 32ft RV with this unit? From what I've researched, there's a myriad of different soaps depending on the job. I'll primarily be using this unit for that and car detailing applications. Thanks for the great vid!

    here is a break down for you. on the car foam canon is great and the 40 degree tip is best with at least 18 inches or so held away from the vehicle. throw the zero degree tip out. you will never use it. the 20 degree tip works great on decks, cement etc. again kepping about a foot or 18 inches away. start farther and move it in slow until you get the results you want without getting close enought to cut into anything. THE TURBO NOZZLE IS ONLY FOR CONCRETE! on your house you can use the 40 degree tip and clean stuff very well. be careful if you use the 20 degree on a house as it can rip off molding and cause issues. Again these are good general rules to use. your situations may very but alwayds err on the side of caution and take it slow. test an area before.

Other videos show it throwing lots of soap. Not like a good soap canon…. But acceptable for the price and much better than this video shows.

    You can use the 15 on frame and other hard parts. For paint and plastics I'd stick with the 25 or 40. Actually I'd stick with the 25 or 40 for all of it. Generally a pressure washer between 800 and 1800 Is preferred for auto detailing. You can increase the flow or gallons per minute and decrease the pressure buy going to bigger orifice tips. Like buying 2.5 gallon per minute tips.

    Probably identical. Until you get into the 1000 dollar ish and up electric pressure washers thry are all the same basically and with the same life span. But in the 1000 dollar range they get to be rebuildable and made with better parts and more efficient. Make no mistake though, any electric pressure washer in the sub 1000 range has a limited life span Probably 50 to 100 hours of run time before it dies and needs to be replaced. They are a disposable item so don't spend anymore than you have to on one unless you get in the higher end units. There is a reason as pros we only use specific machines in the pressure washing industry. Even gas consumer pressure washers are about the same life span

    Can someone explain something? I got this washer and I learned you can change the nozzle so that you can play with the GPM and the psi. So i order the 3.0 mm nozzles. The stock nozzle says 15017. So i guess is 1.7mm but then when I used the 15030 i didn't see any difference in the flow but i heard the pump was being overworked it sounded just like when a car needs to shift gear... I though bigger orifice would make it work less but it sounds the opposite to me Why is that? and this is with all the 3.0 nozzles.
