Stanley Electric Pressure Washer, SLP2050, 2-in-1 Mobile Cart or Detach Portable Use with Detergent Tank, 2050 Max PSI, 1.4 GPM, Great for Washing Cars

Short version: this is a very good washer, a good price, easy to assemble, use, transport and store. The details: I had some concrete patio and driveway cleaning to do. Not oil stains, but old spilled paint stains, ground in dirt and who knows what over the last 20 years. I had used a gasoline-powered pressure washer in the past, so was cautious about electric, as they tend to have not as much power. No worries! I will only use it maybe 3 or 4 times a year, so I could accept less-than-stellar performance for the convenience of no gas, no gummy residues, no "won't start", no draining the gas, etc. Today I cleaned a driveway and a patio and the machine did a great job! There are various nozzles for different forces and they change in less than a minute, plus are convenient stored right on the machine itself. It took a while, maybe two or more hours, to do the job, so my hand and arms got tired of constantly holding the trigger on and waving the wand back and forth. Well, good exercise. But holding that trigger suggests that future jobs will be broken into smaller pieces, done a day apart.The unit, out of the box new, assembled in maybe 10 minutes with a Phillips head screwdriver. Instructions were clear but for one item, under "Operating...". There is a rotating yellow plastic locking knob that prevents the trigger for being squeezed accidentally. This is a good feature. However, the instructions say to turn the knob, and I couldn't. Even with pliers, gently. What the instructions SHOULD say is, "While pushing down on the knob, rotate it". Once I figured that out, it worked like a charm.One key benefit is that the unit transports easily in a car. You have three pieces: the power unit itself plus its wheeled base (which comes apart into two pieces for a small profile transport and storage package). Right now, the unit is in the shed on a shelf with 14" of vertical space (and about 18"" deep) so it also stores easily; don't be put off by the size of the operating unit when assembled. Assembling/disassembling into these three pieces for storage or use takes just a minute or so, no tools needed..I did not use any detergent so can't comment on that. I plan on some other projects and, if the unit displays issue after this honeymoon period, I will update my review..

I bought this and tried it out the 1st weekend after receiving it. Easy to assemble and very portable. The 1st time I used it I added diluted soap in the soap tank the soap came out fine but it was used up pretty quickly so I then went and added more diluted soap and it did not spray it. It sat in the tank so I dumped out the soap in a bucket and added water to flush still nothing. So the soap tank does not suck up soap. I checked the lines and they are not pinched or kinked. 4 starts because it does a decent job but like I said the soap dispenser does not work and I have only used it once.

This pressure washer works great! Being able to separate the unit from the stand is a great feature as I was easily able to bring it up a ladder to wash out the gutters. This will also be nice when you can't quite fit the entire unit and stand where you need it. This washer is quieter than expected and has more power than the gas model I had been using. It has a nice stand that rolls easily and it isn't as top heavy as other washers I've used that tend to tip over easy. The washer required minimal assembly out of the box and has a high quality hose that won't kink. I would recommend this pressure washer to anyone.

Purchased this power washer and have used it about 4 times now. Have used this to power wash the rear of my house -- patio, house exterior, and lawn furniture. Although I haven't used this product for an extended period of time, I am able to report on a few items:1) Assembly -- this went very well and was very straightforward. I actually left the instruction manual in it's packaging, since all components were common sense and easy to install. You only need 1 Phillips head screwdriver and you're all set. Total assembly time is around 10 minutes.2) Power Cord -- relatively lengthy power cord gets you wherever you need to go. I have a 100' extension cord, which can navigate me around most parts of my driveway and yard, so this is not really a concern in the first place.3) Hose -- The hose is standard, nothing particularly good or bad. I do have difficulty in setting this up correctly in the hose reel, at the rear of the unit. Overall this is not a drawback, but a slight nuisance.4) Power -- Not the most powerful at 2050 PSI, but I did not purchase this unit for industrial purposes. It cleans my patio, lawn furniture, house, and odds/ends perfectly as expected. However, this is NOT intended for industrial usage, and I would caution against using this unit for extremely large applications, as it would take more time.5) Stability -- This unit does not tip or budge when I set it in place, which is a great feature.Also to note, this unit can dock to a wall mount, which I have not yet purchased but intend to. I am sure this would help the store the unit and get it out of the way.

excellent product, does a great job

wall mount was a must for my garage, amazing value and great machine

In a nutshell...after less than 4 uses this thing is a piece of crap and certainly not Stanley quality. Soap dispenser doesn't function (hadn't from day 1) the pressure was good for the first three uses but now it fluctuates and is no where near what the 2050 psi rating it's suppose to be....I have had better quality from Canadian Tire and paid a lot less. Pass on this POS....wish I could return it

We ordered this as an open box product. It was described as in good condition. It arrived and it had been clearly well used and then returned. There was still soap in the dispenser and water dripped out of the nozzle. There was no quality control here. Disappointing

I used it for about 20 minutes, then powered it off. Next time I tried to use it, it wouldn't power on again. The GFI power connector still resets but the motor never starts and I get zero pressure.I called the support number to inquire about the "two year warranty"; they sent me to another 1-800 number that keeps ringing and eventually disconnects.
