I bought this for a Big Job that I have coming up, I needed something that is very durable so before we carried it to the Job I decided to put it through it's paces at my own house.
I already own two other units, one that is 15 years old and on it's last legs and a Cheap Chinese one I picked up a couple of years ago that had endless problems and ended up being given away a few months ago.
DeWalt Pluses:
1) Amazingly well built with a design that was so well thought out it is should win an Award.
2) Pressure is extremely good, I have no doubt it is really 2100 PSI.
3) Compact, easy to carry and store. It is light weight yet feels solid.
4) Very quite, your neighbors will have to listening to notice it.
5) Ran it for almost four hours straight and it never got to hot or had any issues.
6) Turbo Nozzle is Insane! It knocked off paint drops that had spilled on the concrete years ago, it did it like they were nothing. The concrete looks brand new again.
Negatives:
1) The soap dispenser thing is a joke. Yes it does dispense soap but it is not anything like a foam canon, it is just a bit of soap that barely suds. This in itself was not an issue but filling it is problematic as soap leaks from the outlet even though it is not depressed. So I had to hold my fingers over the bottom hole while I filled the container. Then I noticed that it still slowly leaks soap out of the compartment when in the unit. So the rubber gasket is not sealing properly.
It does not matter to me, I will not be using it anyway, but If your washing cars then get a True Foam Canon attachment for $25. It's a lot easier than working with the DeWalts built in Tank.
2) Those little holders on the handle for the different spray heads are not good at holding them once the heads get wet. I was changing heads and pushed back on the 40 deg head only to find it missing an hour later. I walked back through the property and spotted it on the lawn. Pushed it back in and realized it would fall out again with ease. When they are perfectly dry they hold in, when wet they do not. I highly suggest you keep them in the compartment and forget the handle nozzle holders.
DeWalt you need to make the rubber holders fit tighter!
3) Like one other reviewer I did see a 2" section on the bottom half where the seam was not slotted in.
I had to loosen four of the lower bolts with a couple of turns of an Allen Key and push it back into the slot and tighten her back up. I suspect this is caused by shipping impacts on the box.
Overall I still give it five stars because the darn thing works like a Champ and is an engineering super star. It seems to be very durable and the Ergonomics are second to none on the market.
