I bought one from sams club. It broke they replaced it. That one broke they replaced it and gave me over $50 because the sell the unit cheaper then. That on broke and they replaced it. Then when this one broke they didn't have a replacement in the store. So they just gave me the cash.

I dunno. 

Your time for going back and forth that many time plus any waiting in line might make me look for a different brand/merchandiser.

I don't think you follow it. I used 4 pressure washers over 2 years (or so) and at the end they gave me all my money back. I didn't end up paying a penny for any of them. They were all under warrantee and they even refunded me the warrantee money.  Yes they all broke when I needed them and it was a pain to box them up and go back to the store. Thats why I now have a Northstar 1700 PSI one and it is doing great. The best thing about these commercial ones they are a lot quieter.

I got tired of trying to find a cheap unit and went with the camspray 1500a.  That unit rocks.

I know I might be crazy, but I think that a lot of the cheapies are overrated.  That being said, PSI is only half of the equation.  The other half is flow.  A 1500 PSI with 2 GPM will clean better than a 2000 PSI unit at 1.2 GPM.  Multiply the flow X pressure and that gives you cleaning units.  Pressure is nothing if you can't wash the debris away.

It`s either 110V or 200V. But occasionally it goes below 200V, like 196-198V. Had to get a transformer from M&R to run or Acoma flash at 900F. Before we had the transformer it never went up higher then 800F. I assume though the pressure washer will work on 200V but not on full output.

If its an issue just get the 1700 PSI or the 2000 PSI version. They are both 20amp 110 volts.
Just found the the solution to the voltage problem. A simple 3KW step up transformer will do the trick.

I bought one washer rate it at 2000 psi when i blew my first screens with it i got emulsion and ink all over the reclaiming area
including myself, i had to buy me a shield for my face and along apron as well
should`ve drop the psi instead to 1500
like@MK Thanks

I must have missed the 2 year part. 

Sounded like a lot shorter time.
