I have used this once but I am so impressed I am confident my view will not change. I already had a Karcher sprayer but a workman cut the hose and on mine and this was fatal since the hose was not a detachable one (I think it was model 3,99). The design of the Yard Force is impressive. I see some comments about the hose needing careful rolling to return to its compartment but for me that was not an issue and is in any event only relevant if you want to put the hose in the compartment. The neat storage of the three types of spray heads is very useful and there is room for more. It is very easy to move around even without the wheels since it is light. There was no leaks. Although as noted by others the spray force is not the type that will remove paint it is more than adequate to clean bricks, cobbles and removed berries that stick to my car that do not move when scrubbed with a brush. I cleaned up my re-cycling bin and other plastic containers in my garden that were is dreadful shape having years of baked in grime.

Had a problem

I really liked how compact this pressure washer is and how easy it is to store. Really does a great job. I had a problem with it the second time I went to use it. The motor wouldn't come on. I contacted the company and we determined it was a bad switch. They were so helpful. I received a new pressure washer within 5 days of my call. I bet I would have received it within four but it was Memorial Day weekend. Their warranty department desires 5 stars. Thanks Scott and Charlie.

Excellent value for many and utility.

Great value for money. Very easy to setup and operate. I just finished using it to clean my huge driveway and front porch and back porch... the soaping system works great without having to dilute the cleaning liquid as the machine does it automatically I just fill the tank with the concentrate and it takes care of the dilution by itself.... the pressure is very adequate for my need (could be a little stronger but for the money it is perfect)… the size is very convenient for maneuvering and for storing... the power cord could be a little longer but it was perfectly enough for me... the hp hose could be a bit longer... but it was enough to work and not be too close to the unit.

It worked perfectly for me and it was easy to put back the power cord and hose in their compartments.

Excellent buy.

Great performance with an inexpensive price!

Very nice unit....I was skeptical of the price being so low versus the quality. I went ahead and purchased it and I’m so glad that I did. I used it all day do my fence and patios. For the price this is a great washer. Very easy to use right out of the box. Another great feature is the size, super compact and easy to store. If you need a cost effective pressure washer that’s doesn’t take up a lot of space and for the smaller jobs around the house, look no further as you found it! Enjoy!

Washer works well. But the design of the hose and cord pockets are terrible!

Washer works well. But it appears on its description and pictures that this is a very compact pressure washier in which the washer hose and the power cord can be neatly tucked away in fold out pockets. That is true - but only when they do it the first time at the factory. You try to do it after your first use and that part of it does not work at all. The hose pocket is barely big enough and unless you are able to duplicate exactly how they did it in the factory then forget it. And the locking mechanism is a bad design but then again you won't be able to get the hose in properly anyway so it doesn't matter.

Now to the power cord pocket. Again, first time at the factory it worked but then the cable was new and pliable. Try get the cord in it place after first use will not be successful. I managed to get it in once but the lid could not be closed because the flimsy magnets that are supposed to hold the lid in place fell off and now it is unusable for storage.

So if all you are interested in is a small inexpensive washer then it is OK. But they could have paid a bit more attention when designing the storage compartments! But if you don't mind just letting the cord and hose lay on top of the washer or on the floor beside the washer when you store it then fine!

Update. Have now used it 3 or 4 times and decided to downgrade it to 2 stars. The reason is that in addition to the problems mentioned above I also discovered that the power cord is terrible! It is a very cheap design and the cord is very hard and therefore very difficult to wind up neatly. The magnets that was to hold the side power cord lid in place has fallen off somewhere and no the lid can not be closed at all.

This is an example of badly engineered products with no or little thought going into the design details. It would have cost may be another $1 in materials and some ingenuity to make it outstanding.

I can not recommend this product. I may actually send it back for a full refund and buy something else!

UPDATE oct 2020.
Well Unfortunate I did not return it. And today it broke. I have used it about 20 hours. Really bad quality. It's now on its, way to the junkyard! Again, think twice before buying this!

Werkt perfect, redelijk stille werking, alleszins stiller dan mijn vorige hogedrukreiniger, die het na 10 jaar heeft begeven. Was van het merk Parkside.
Levensduur kan ik niet beoordelen.

Better than a Karcher?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 30, 2024

Finally finished 4 days of pressure washing the patio and driveway. It is easier to manoeuver than the Karcher, works every time (unlike the archer) results just as good, lighter, quieter, hose is longer and less prone to kink. Overall, I'm well pleased and a lot less money
