Customer Reviews

Good, low power, pressure washer
I bought this to do light washing of my porch and patio. I've used larger, gasoline powered washers in the past, and those types of washers have quite a bit more power, but they are a pain to store, maintain, and move around. This little guy stores easily, is quick to set up and move, and blasts dirt, berries, and bird poop off my patio with no problems. It has an attachment for detergent, but I haven't used it yet. Unlike some other pricier washers, it does not have interchangeable tips, just a universal tip that adjusts from fine stream (most powerful) to spray. I wouldn't buy this for professional use (or even to clean all the siding in your house), but for small occasional jobs, it is great.

Not enough "umph"
I still went ahead and bought this 1400PSI McCulloch, even though I had doubts that 1400PSI may not be enough power for removing black mold off of my backyard concrete (I'm a sucker for low prices). Evaluation: After working with the machine various time, this 1400PSI McCulloch just doesn't have enough "umph". The black mold and stains remain. That said, I like the functionality of McCulloch. The machine is well designed, easy to assemble and easy to use. Overall, 1400 PSI is not enough for serious work around the house. If you just want to wash off your car, or hose down your deck, then this would be a good machine. But, if occasionally, you need to get down and dirty then buy more pressure than this machine gives.

No Hands on Deck
I'm assuming if you're buying this entry-level machine, you're not a born Handy Sandy or Handy Andy with every mechanical toy in the world. If you're like me, you can barely screw in a switchplate without denting or cracking it.

I just used my McCulloch 1400 for the first time, and it was actually much better than I thought it would be. I used it to powerwash our 13'x17' opaque-stained deck.

I had never used a pressure washer before so I wasn't totally sure what to expect. I had heard warnings of pressure washers blasting out knotholes and carving hieroglyphic-like patterns in innocent backyard decks, so I took it slowly by experimenting in a corner of the deck with various nozzle settings at a variety of angles and distances from the target spot. I got the hang of it within 10 minutes.

The washer itself was ridiculously easy to set up out of the box. The unit is about the size of a canister vacuum, and it's very easy to work with. The wand can be used in a couple of lengths, and the power nozzle can be adjusted for anything from a concentrated, pinpoint spray to about a three- or four-inch width depending on how far you hold the nozzle from the surface.

It's on the noisy side, but certainly nowhere near as noisy as a big, gas-driven washer. The only thing I had a problem with was the detergent bottle dispenser thingy (that's the technical term; I don't know how to describe it generically). I never did get it connected right, but, then again, when I started working without bleach/water solution I realized the machine didn't need any chemical assistance. The 4-year growth of mold, mildew, dirt, grime, bbq grease, and everything else, washed off easily. I even found that by working carefully I could strip off almost all the opaque stain and leave a nice, clean surface to take a fresh, new finish.

I probably wouldn't recommend it for a deck larger than mine; there are bigger machines available that would be better suited.

Oh, one more thing: Before I ordered this, I got two quotes from professional power washer people, both of which came in at roughly triple the cost of this unit. It's already paid for itself and more.
