I was leery of purchasing a reconditioned or remanufactured pressure washer, but the savings were so good compared to new, that I decided to give it a try. The machine arrived about a week after ordering via free super saver shipping. The packaging is clearly intended for palletized shipments to retail stores, not UPS type of delivery. Since this is a reconditioned machine, I can't tell whether the very minor scuffs were from shipping or not. In any case they were very minor, and not of any consequence. I noticed immediately that one of the wheels was slightly bent. Assembly was quite simple, and the instructions clear. I put the oil in and put some gas in the tank. The machine started on the first or second pull. I tested it briefly to be sure that it was functional. The machine sat overnight. The next day, I discovered that fuel was leaking from the fuel line connection to the gas tank. The hose was not completely inserted onto the nipple on the tank. After correcting this, the fuel leak stopped. I used the machine to clean a saltillo tile walkway that was covered with slime and moss. The machine worked well.
As long as you are willing to accept some minor problems, I think this is a good value for the homeowner level of user. If you buy this machine, make sure the fuel hose is fully attached to the gas tank before you fill up. If you've used the more powerful machines in the past, don't expect to get the same power, but if you are cleaning walkways and patios you will have all the power you need.Get more detail about Factory Reconditioned Karcher G 3050 OH 3,000 PSI 2.5 GPM 187cc Honda GC190 Gas Powered Pressure Washer.
