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

I've used it three times already, unbelievable how well it cleaned my front sidewalk and cement in front my garage. I've used it with just water and with a cleaner, both did an excellent job. Looking forward to doing my garage floor and back patio. Great product will recommend to friends. I found it's easier to use with a wand extension as I have back issues.

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.

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.

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.

This Simpsons surface cleaner has issues with motor spinning jets the jets clogg up althe time from cast iron design ! The cast iron inside rusting makes jets clogged up .they save 2 dollars instead of using stainless steel rod .u can't fix it ! And if you replace it with new cast iron it will rust again .for this reason I will never buy this brand again!

A couple years ago I bought the Karcher surface cleaner and ended up returning it after the first use. If you tried to push it forward the front of it would dip down and drag on the concrete making it almost impossible to do. I would have to simultaneously lift up on the wand while pushing the cleaner forward which was extremely difficult to do. I thought maybe the angle was too direct so I added a wand extension but that didn't help. I would have to lift and push at the same time which made for crappy cleaning and it was difficut to do. The only real cleaning it did is when I drew it back toward me and even then the results were below average. The Karcher left circles of unclean concrete which you could only correct by unhooking the cleaner and using the spray attachments which defeated the whole purpose of having the surface cleaner in the first place. After I returned it I just figured they were all like that so I have just been using the spray attachments since then, which uses a ton of water plus takes a lot of time. I haven't used the pressure sprayer as often as I should because it took so long to clean. I have a huge back patio around my pool, driveway for a 3 car garage, and my house is on a corner so there is a double crapload of concrete here to clean. A couple days ago I was back at it with the pressure sprayer and I decided it was time to give a surface cleaner another go. I have a 3200 psi Simpson which is what the Karcher surface cleaner was rated for, but this time I decided to give the 3700 psi Simpson pressure cleaner a go. What a difference. This thing is the real deal. You can actually push it forward and it skims across the surface like it's supposed to do. It cleans without leaving the circular streaks. It does exactly what it's supposed to do and it makes cleaning a breeze. Today in 3 hours I did pretty much the same surface area as I had done the previous 2 days combined using a fraction of the water I had used. What used to take me a week will now take a couple days. If you are looking for a surface cleaner for your gas powered pressure sprayer this is the one.

For any large surface like a driveway or patio, these are well worth the money even as a single use item. They will indeed do the job 4 times faster. I did my driveway and sidewalks as well as my neighbors sidewalks in under 4 hours with this guy. And with much better results than a wand. After reading a number of bad reviews with very limited background as to the competence of the operator, I found a few good reviews from individuals who showed some common sense and knowledge. Having read those I had the confidence to go with the Simpson over the cheaper plasticy models at a similar price point. Glad I did. The metal housing is very nice. The brush around the edge is sturdy and it glides nicely and limits spray coming out. Before using it I did lube up the plastic bushings in the spinning nozzle with teflon lube, as I am well aware that is what gives out on the consumer priced versions. At one point I did get a clogged nozzle which was immediately obvious. Instead of burning up my pump and giving a bad review for both the pressure washer and the surface cleaner not spinning, I simply cleared the nozzle and kept going. The nature of these tools require attention and care with respect to not only to safe operation but also to what the tool is doing. I have not looked into a service kit yet as my bushings have not failed, my only suggestion to Simpson would be to ensure a service kit with new bushings and perhaps the related brass fittings are obviously immediately available. If you need to clean a large surface but don't want to pay for or store a commercial unit, you'd be stupid to not have one of these even if they need to be replaced after a few uses. If you are needing to do your driveway or a large surface, save yourself a sunburn and embarrassment in front of your neighbors trying to use a wand and get the right tool for the job.

Product worked nicely for first 15 minutes then started to clean only in small bandwidths leaving small spiral swirls all over our driveway. My husband tried different hoses and water outlets to see if we could make this work but all were unsuccessful. Had to return product. Maybe needs more water pressure than our hoses provided?

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

Bought this and it worked fine for a while, now one nozzle won’t function anymore and it’s useless. I tried unclogging it in many different recommended ways and still won’t spin. Went out and bought a Simoniz 15 inch cleaner and it is way better.

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