Simpson Cleaning Universal 16.5" Pressure Washer Surface Cleaner, Stainless Steel, for Gas and Electric, Cold Water, 1/4" Quick Connection, Max of 4000 PSI, 80625

Worked better than expected. We have a huge driveway, 4,000 to 5,000 sq ft. I tried to clean it once with an electric power washer and a wand and just gave up. I was able to clean entire driveway with ease. Wheels made it easy to move around. Probably the most important aspect is the power washer itself. Purchased a Simpson power washer that is rated at 4000 psi and 4 gpm. There’s 2 nozzles on the surface cleaner, so you need the higher psi to get the high pressure out of each nozzle. Also you need the higher gpm to wash away the dirt as you go. If your driveway is real dirty, just go slow. I tended to move a little quickly but I over lapped the passes to ensure a good cleaning. Bottom line, I would buy this again along with the power washer.

This Simpson surface cleaner worked great! I used it Friday and Saturday for 3 hours each day and had zero issues. Seems to be well made. I cleaned it and lubricated the bearing and pivot points before putting it up so it’ll be ready for next time. Definitely a back saver and worth the money. Used with 3,000 psi pressure washer.

Highly disappointed - even after purchasing this TWICE. Bought a Simpson pressure washer and other accessories which are FANTASTIC and can't say enough about how happy I am with them. But this accessory was a big let-down. I was honestly a little leery at the 4.1-star reviews, but I figured someone didn't know what they were doing or, as I often do, thought that somehow I would beat the odds and get a working, functioning unit deserving of the 5 stars others have left. When it arrived, there were multiple layers of packing tape all over the bent and worn box (which had been shipped inside an outer shipping box). When I opened the box, the plastic bag surrounding the cleaning head had been badly crumpled and torn, so it was obvious it had been returned - likely more than once. When I attached it to the pressure washer, only one of the two spray heads emitted any water and only a small trickle at that - no high pressure at all. Disappointed that this "new" sprayer didn't work right out of the box. The instructions directed me to clean the nozzles with the included cleaning tool which I did several times. After fiddling with it for over an hour, the best I got was one head to spray and the other was dry as a bone - nothing. So I returned it and reordered another. I waited to return the first until the replacement arrived so as not to get the same, defective one again. The second one arrived and again, the box had been re-taped - definitely a red flag! When I opened it, everything looked great, though the plastic bag it came in was crumpled and torn, but not to the extent the first one had been. When I hooked it up to my new Simpson pressure washer, the spray nozzles put out a ton of water under pressure, but the arm wouldn't rotate! I removed the head and rotated the arm by hand and it spun around just fine with virtually no effort. That's what you want, right? But when I put it back under pressure, the arm just sat there, the nozzles shooting pressurized water, but without any movement of the arm at all. When I tried to clean with it, I got narrow stripes instead of one big circular cleaned surface. Again, I fiddled with it for about an hour, but no matter what I tried, the arm just wouldn't spin on it's own. So now this second one is going back, too! I don't appear to be the only one with this issue if you read through other reviews. I'm really disappointed because I've been so impressed with the other Simpson products I've purchased! I won't try this a third time - instead I'll buy another (higher rated, less expensive) brand of the same thing. Sorry, Simpson. I gave you a second chance, but you failed twice on this one. But I HIGHLY recommend your pressure washer! Wow! UPDATE- A few months later, I noticed the Kärcher brand surface cleaner go on sale at a price I couldn't refuse. WOW! What a difference! Worked beautifully out of the box and several times since. If you're in the market, definitely get a Simpson power washer (with a Honda engine), but get the Kärcher surface cleaner for it. It's plug and play with Simpson power washers (no adapters needed). Outstanding performance and no regrets.

Nice sturdy construction and good brush skirt. Wand spray coupling to unit connection very easy and solid. When working, I cut my 6 hr cleaning by hand job down to 30 mins. Great deep cleaning and ease of use. However, after my second use, and trying to use it on third time, the spray arm would not rotate with water pressure going thru unit. It would freely spin by hand, no resistance, but when water pressure was applied, water would come out of jets at pressure, but unit arm would not rotate in any position I placed the unit horizontally. If I pumped the wand handle trigger, I could get only 1/8th turn at a time. Not sure why this is happening. I contacted Simpson and they sent me a replacement immediately.

I read numerous reviews before purchasing. All of these devices no matter what brand all have negative reviews regarding not spinning properly so I weighed all other factors and purchased the Simpson. The first time I used it was on a wooden bridge deck and it worked great. It took far less time than using a wand. The next morning I decided to do my deck. That's when the trouble began. The device did not spin properly and put circular groves all over the deck. After tinkering with it (lubricating, blowing it out with an air compressor) I was able to get it spinning properly. I also changed the o-ring inside to one that fit a little tighter. Since then I have done 3 driveways and it has worked very well. At first it, spins slowly, but by pulling the wand trigger on and off a few times it spins great and works normally from then on. It's a tremendous time saver. I strongly recommend extreme caution if you are going to use it on wood. As I mentioned, it usually does not spin properly at first, so if you have it on a wood deck it will leave grove marks. I used mine with a 3100 psi Dewalt power washer. My neighbor tried using it with a 2500 psi power washer and it would not spin properly. Bottom line: It's temperamental, but worth it given the amount of time it saves.

Used this for the first time today on my 3000psi pressure washer. I should have bought one of these years ago. Made the job much tidier and quicker. Probably cut my time by 2/3rds. I would say it works as advertised.

I do not recommend, stopped working after first use. Want a refund but of course amazon cannot help and I'm still making payments on junk that doesn't work. Thing somehow rusted and seized.

As advertised

Purchased this scrubber to clean my aggregate concrete driveway and patio. Purchased this 2 yrs ago and have used it 3 times. Yesterday tried using it and stopped in the middle of using it. The spinning wand rotates freely until to put it under pressure. When I removed the wand I discovered that the 2 stainless steel washers or shims under the head were worn and causing the wand to bind! Applied grease and it worked for about 5 minutes until the grease was washed out with the water pressure. Contacted customer service, they informed me that the warranty was only 90 days ?? They also don’t carry any replacement part! I’m now stuck with a $100 piece of junk unless I can find the same size ss washers!

Love this new addition to my collection. This product works awesome, easy to use and does a great job .
