I haven't this washer long enough to comment on durability, but so far I really like the compact and simple design.The performance suits my needs for house, deck, and brick cleaning. I've owned higher-powered pressure washers, but they can do more harm than good by unintentionally stripping paint or damaging surfaces (ask me how I know). This is fine for household tasks at a great price with plenty of power.I like that it is lightweight and supported by two front legs to prevent tipping over which is a real annoyance with upright units that only have two wheels. Assembly is easy, but read the manual first before powering up. You want to get air out of the system and never run the pump dry. Like any washer, follow instructions before putting it away after using.If problems develop, I will update the review, but for now I am pretty pleased.
