Review: Strong and reliable (detailed review over the year) - Wanted to wait for some time to pass before making a real a review on my pressure washer. Purchased in sep 2021 and it’s now Jan 2025, so I have used it for 3 warm seasons since I only use it during the warmer months in PA. Did A LOT of researching before pulling the trigger on getting this unit. Some might think it’s expensive for someone who may only use it for home use and not commercial, but it’s perfect and reliable! I wanted something that would be versatile and beneficial with all projects. I always do the recommended maintenance and when storing for winter I winterize it. Maintenance is key for anything and I believe taking care of this will make it last for years of use. Main selling points for me and things I like: - CAT AAA pump, Honda engine, warranty, GPM, heavy duty but “light weight” frame/wheels, and being able to not worry about damaging the pressure washer if you release the handle while it’s running (not something I do often but know that’s a big no no when it comes to other pressure washers that don’t have the feature to allow this. High PSI and also the ability to lower the rpm’s to use it for lighter duty tasks. My complaints over the years: - The rubber feet that come with this unit are garbage, plan on replacing them with bigger and better feet because these ones will not last and the pressure washer will walk around on you. - I wish there was a better design for changing the oil, it’s a pain in the butt but with the right set up it wouldn’t be a big deal - It a little awkward when wheeling it around but it’s not a big deal and is only heavy if you are picking it up by yourself to go up stairs or things like that. Overall I would highly recommend this and would purchase again! Hope this helps you :)
Review: Machine good, hose not so good - Arrived perfectly sealed and undamaged, no dings as some have mentioned. The pressure washer does what it should. It can be a bit difficult to start if pressure builds in the hose with each pull. Just squeeze trigger and release pressure, simple enough to fix and not really a “fault” as pressure is what it does. It is just something to note. The hose, sucks. It constantly wants to coil. It works yes, but you will fight it. Invest in a better hose. No complaints about the machine itself. Ran well, maintained pressure, no sputters or stops. Tires roll well as they are large relative to the machine. Overall pleased, just replace the hose.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long is the pressure hose on the 3200 PSI unit**
A: It's not 50', should be 25', the ALH3425 has a 35' hose.

**Q: Concerning the alh3228-s, is the quick connect fitting at the end of the wand m-22 or do i need to order additional fittings?**
A: The spray gun connects to the Lance "spray wand" with an M22 connection (already attached out of the box)  the lance "spray wand" has a 1/4" quick connect at the end for spray tips.  You do not need any additional fittings to use the included spray tips included in the box. Be aware the Simpson standard lance quick connect is shorter then other brands and some third party accessories wont fit (its to shallow it will slide in but never lock).

**Q: Pump Model? I know cat but model number?**
A: Cat Model Number:  67DX39G1I.AFN

**Q: Will this cat pump be good to use with a water tank in my mobile detail buisness ?**
A: pressure washer is a great unit ,you can buy same rig with axial pump thats cheaper but you get what u pay for ,the pump on this machine which is the blue part is over $300.alone its more commercial than the axial pump  all depends on how long during the day you are running the machine and how many days a week

### ⭐ Powerful BUT it is VERY HARD to START, NO customer service al all
*by C***I on March 8, 2022*

When it is working, it’s so powerful and smooth. Design and built seems and feels high end and durable, however, it is VERY HARD to start. If the first full doesn’t start, no chance to start at second attempt. I owned gas pressure washer for almost 30 years, none of previous ones does that. It is way more pickier than my previous Excel. The Excel lasts 15 years for me. First, it is picky about fresh gas, it refused to start while brand new maybe just because the gas was two months old, now again, it won't start because the gas was almost two months again. My previous Excel can use gas more than 6 months old, Simpson engine is a princess--high maintenance picky machine. Second, the pressure built up so fast, if the first attempt wasn't successful, no way to start at the second. Even my neighbor who got a cheaper model of Simpson said this one is TIGHT. I'm so SCARED of starting it every time, needs a lot of pulls and luck. Excel only needs about 1-2 seconds of release pressure , this Simpson really needs 30 seconds to try my second luck. To start the machine is a TWO man job, one has to release the trigger on the other end constantly!! Third, even if I'm lucky to start it, it coughs/farts often and I have to be very careful to move the engine from choke to normal SLOWLY, otherwise it stops. Fourth, it gives farts loud several times when switched to off position. None of my previous ones did that, not once. Now I have to get used to the random noise after spending $800! Ordered one electric pressure washer last night, I'm done with the gas one especially with NO HELP from the seller...weird from day 1 Tech support is NOT responsive at all! My question never received answer.
