The Simpson Cleaning PS3228 PowerShot Gas Pressure Washer represents the pinnacle of cleaning power for residential users needing professional-grade performance. Its Honda GX200 commercial engine generates 3300 PSI at 2.5 GPM, providing enough force to strip paint, remove deep stains from concrete, and clean large surfaces quickly. The welded steel frame and stainless steel components ensure long-term durability that surpasses plastic-heavy consumer models. Pneumatic tires offer superior traction and maneuverability across lawns, gravel, and uneven surfaces compared to standard plastic wheels.
An automatic low-oil shutdown system protects the engine from damage, a valuable safety feature not found on budget gas models. While powerful, the PS3228 requires more maintenance than electric models, including regular oil changes and proper winterization in cold climates. The gas engine produces significantly more noise than electric alternatives, necessitating hearing protection during extended use. At 77 pounds, this pressure washer is heavier than most electric models, though the wheeled design helps with transportation. For users needing maximum cleaning power for large driveways, decks, or commercial applications, the Simpson PS3228's professional-grade construction and Honda engine reliability make it worth the premium price and maintenance requirements.
