McCulloch FHH20A Review

I wasn’t sure what to expect when it arrived and when I saw the condition of the box I was even more concerned. It looked like UPS played football with it. Box was crushed on one side and one taped end was about to fall open.

BUT, the contents were intact and no damage noted.

I assembled it in a couple of minutes, hooked up to water and power and let it rip.

I have no experience with pressure washers so I don’t know how it would compare to a gas model, or a higher pressure model, but I do know it saved me a lot of time. I don’t know how many days of scrubbing or what nasty chemicals I would have had to use to do the same job that this washer did. I really wanted to include pictures to do it justice but in a little over an hour I had cleaned a small patio, 15′x15′, from a color resembling old asphalt to looking like newly poured concrete.

Very happy with the purchase of the pressure washer, works as expected. There are 2 things that could be improved, but probably applies to all pressure washers:
1. The high pressure hose is difficult to store, the hose wants to do it’s own thing. Would make pressure washing much easier if I didn’t have to wrestle with the hose every time.
2. When using detergent, I had to read the instructions a number of times before figuring out how to do it. Clearer instructions or a sticker on the detergent bottle with instructions would have helped. Something like “Pull back nozzle into ‘low pressure’ setting to apply detergent”.

• Excellent Power Washer

  We have a home in Florida with a screen room and cream-colored decking surrounding our pool. The pool area gets dirty and a regular hose just didn't clean everything very well. First, my husband went to Target and bought a Karcher power washer. The Karcher worked alright (but not great) for the first 20 minutes - then the pump stopped working. Back to Target with the Karcher to get a full refund. I then ordered, based on customer reviews, this power washer from Amazon and it arrived in a day or two. As soon as my husband started cleaning the deck area with the McCulloch, we were both impressed with its performance and ability to clean the very high screening around the pool. It worked great! The next day, I took the power washer to the front of the house to clean the driveway pavers and to try to remove some of the weeds that had grown between the pavers. I'm not saying it wasn't a nasty job - because getting the weeds required full pressure and me getting covered in sand - but the driveway looked beautiful when I finished. Next, I moved on to the dirty sidewalk along the street and it was sparkling white when I finished. I don't know what the "black stuff" on the cement sidewalk was, but it came off easily. There were also a few blue and red paint splotches on the sidewalk from when the house was built 2 years ago and they also came off with full power. Best of all, this is an easy machine to drag around your house. Actually, you don't need to drag it very far anyway, because there's a really long hose attached. We had a very large, very heavy gas power washer that was just too hard for me to move around the yard - not to mention, the pump went up in a year or so. I'm not sure that the McCulloch is powerful enough to clean a two-story house, but it sure did a beautiful job around our Florida rancher. I would highly recommend this item to anyone looking for an electric power washer. We couldn't be happier.

  Bought this to clean my patio after reading the positive reviews. Did a great job there so I tried it on my 10 year old weathered fence. It took the dirt off with ease changing the appearance from dark gray to nearly it's original state. I have used the washer for extended periods (2-3 hrs at a time) so reliability is not a factor. A great investment for round the house cleaning.
