Blue Max 3435 2,200 psi 2.4 HP OHV Gas-Powered Pressure Washer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The unit arrived in so-so packaging. As with everyone else, I had a nut missing. This is in my opinion due to the fact that mine were thrown into the box loose, they should be bagged. I fished second nut out of the corner of box.
So, after getting one from my hardware box, I assembled the unit. Reading thru instruction I learned that I need SAE 30 oil. So next thing I did is I went and I bought 2 quarts of such oil. I filled the engine (uses about 1/3 of bottle or even less).
Filled in the gas. Hooked up the hose. Turned on the water (supplied connector started leaking, more on this later). Unit started on third try.
I test drove it and was pretty impressed with results.
Things you want to get before washer arrives:
1 Quart of SAE 30 (this is not modern engine oil!)
1 Quick Connect Male-Female Brass (I use plastic everwhere so I bought plastic but if you start from scratch, get brass)
1 Female-Female connector from Lowes or Homedepot. Anderson Barrows
PBGH2 3/4" FE Hose/FE Hose Swivel (Lowes had it) worked perfectly for me. This is because power washer has male connector (not female like all sprinklers, heads, etc that connect directly to hose) and all quick connects come with male as well. You can't connect male with male :)
Activities before you run your unit:
Fuel: Put fuel in.
Oil: Pour until indicator is at proper level.
Gender converter: Screw on the swivel connector onto power washer. This will make a female connector available on the the power washer. The one I listed above requires to use quite some force, but once it is on, it is on!
Quick Connector: Screw in the male part onto power washer, female onto hose, you are ready to go!Notes:
Chemical application requires you to put "low pressure" tip. The detergent won't be sucked in with any other tip.
Level the unit perfectly. It will cut the fuel once it is even so slightly tipped. If your unit shuts down after 15-30s, it is not leveled!
Use a little bleach with your detergent when cleaning white siding, you'll be amazed how much quicker it goes.Enjoy!

Ridgid RV2600B 16-Gallon 2-Stage Industrial Vacuum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was very disappointed with this shop vac. I always have several shop vacs in my shop and a couple on the job site. A year ago I purchased a Ridgid vac at Home Depot for $99. The top detaches and becomes a very good blower. This $99 vac has the most suction I have ever had with previous vacs, ShopVac, Craftsman, and others. No matter how much I paid for the other vacs the cheap Ridgid is the best one by far. The only other one that came close was a 25 year-old 2.5 hp Craftsman. (still in use) One of the vacs I use in my shop for dust collection recently died so I went shopping on amazon. I found this Ridgid 2-stage 11.5 amp industrial vac. I figured this one had to be good, reading the product description and the price. When it arrived by amazon's two-day prime shipping, (in two days) I was initially disappointed as it has a 1 7/8 inch hose. I'm sure I missed that in the product description, my bad. This size doesn't fit any tool dust collection hookups without buying an additonal hose. I took the vac out into my shop and put it to work. Are you kidding me? The tool hose on my wife's old Hoover upright has more suction. I tried to suck up some small brads along with dust off my work table. I had to take the brush off the end and place the hose directly over the nail to pick it up. My other vacs would grab it from 4-5" away. If you want to buy a good vac, look for the Ridgid that has the detachable blower. One third the price and 10 times the suction. Sorry Ridgid, but this vac works good for cleaning out a car, but it has no place in a work shop or on a job site.

DuroMax XP4400 4,400 Watt 6.5 HP OHV 4-Cycle Gas Powered Portable Generator With Wheel Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just like me, always preparing for "the end". :)
Anyhow, this is a fantastic generator!! As another reviewer stated, I put gas and oil in and she fired up on the first pull!! Remarkably quiet, runs very smooth, and everything is solid on this unit! Metal gas tank WITH GAUGE, metal gas cap, the 12v DC charge pins are a GREAT addition should you need to charge a battery while running the generator. Plenty of outlets, a V gauge, breaker switch, nice On/Off switch, the wheel/handle kit is a true bonus, and it also came with a free nylon cover for when it's put away it'll look just like new! Even the paint job is nicely done. For the money you can't beat this price, especially the shipping!! Take a look around, you will NOT find a better deal on a generator with these features.
It's worth noting that the system is a 4400watt PEAK load. It will maintain a 3500watt load, and the extra 900w are to handle the occasional surge when, say, a freezer or refrigerator kicks in. The manual has a nice breakdown of typical wattage draws from various home appliances so you can gauge your use accordingly. This will power all at the same time:
- my chest freezer
- my refrigerator
- my TV/Stereo
- 3 Lights
- Radio (boombox)
and there is still room for a few other items.
Great deal overall! I also purchased a "gas station", a 15gallon cylinder with a hose/spigot, to keep on hand for any emergencies which I'd need the gen for.
The seller is easily reached via phone and was very quick to ship my order out, faster than I anticipated!
