Worth it!
I bought a surface cleaner from a "big box" store that was lousy. It broke halfway into the first use.

After a little research, I found this Northstar Surface Cleaner available at a local Northern Tools location. It's a solid, well-built metal unit. Super-simple to assemble--just screw on the extension to the base.

The only problem I had was initially the cleaning heads didn't rotate very well. I "tweaked" the angle of the heads (used a crescent wrench to move the threaded heads) so there was more "thrust" and then voila!, it worked like a champ.

There are cheaper surface cleaners, but like every tool the better built stuff usually costs a little more. This is well worth it in my view. I cleaned my back patio, both walkways and then my driveway a few hours. (Note that I did have to go back and wash off the loose residue from the concrete. This cleaner does a good job of "blasting" the gunk up, but not pushing it in one direction to remove it from the surface completely.)

Does the job
Good product. They shipped it right away. Move in a slow random pattern to prevent streaking. Pressure is split between two nozzles, so for areas needing maximum pressure you will need to use the wand. Saved a lot of time - and most importantly eliminated the isotonic fatigue of using the wand by itself.

Very disappointing

I wonder if I simply ended up with a defective unit? Within the first ten minutes of usage, mine stopped spinning, because one of the two nozzles no longer operated. What that meant was that all the water pressure (I was using a 2,350 PSI washer) came through one nozzle and I ended up with ugly gashes in my deck until I figured out what had happened and turned everything off.

Following the instructions, I removed and cleaned both nozzles (that's a bit of a chore, by the way) although I did not see any obvious blockages. I also switched to a new pressure washer (rated at 2,000 PSI). Within a few minutes the same thing happened. I cleaned them again, only to have the same thing occur.

I will say that Northern Tool was very good about things when I returned the unit.

FWIW, I have used other surface cleaners with my pressure washer without any problems."
