HA! HA! I pick-up my same model up later on today and to really bless my business, I get to do my Church building and take before and after pics...and praise God for I plan on not looking back! Thank-you!
Just bought this washer - great video, thanks!
Thank you 🙏🏼. Keep up the good work. Great video
That's not " an electric start kinda thing ", it's an engine cut-off or kill switch. If you pull a cord to start the engine, you do not have electric start.
Yes I caught that too
Saving Up For A Unit Like This & Hopefully I Get It Soon - Great Vid My Guy 💯
Thanks man! They have a 3000psi machine as well that would definitely get the job done in the meantime
Thank you very much, especially for your unsponsored but valuable good will.
Anytime! Keep a look out form my new review of this same machine after using it for two years
What was the model of the Surface Washer Cleaner you used....and soap on both wand and surface washer cleaner
So I got same machine last year,I washed a house,two garage doors and a driveway, so less than 20 hrs
So when I was washing another house, I noticed water in pump oil
I thought it was bad seals so was planning to order a rebuild kit
But when I drain the oil found metal flakes on it
So I'm wondering if this is a common problem on Simpson aaa pumps before I order a new one?
Anyone else had this problem??
Great review
Does anyone have a link to find that yellow cap at the end I bought my pressure washer off the marketplace and the guy didnt sell it to me with that cap
Just what I needed. Thanks man. Sub'd.
Thank you!
Great video
Happy to report I just got mine this past Thursday 12-23-21.
It's awesome
Awesome man!! Do you use it for business or personal?

Hello , just seeing your message.
As of now it's just personal but my 17yr old kid wants to pressure wash families Driveways to get experience. Then you know how that goes. People just stop by to ask for a card or quote.
So little by little.
Hey man! Thinking of getting this and saving $400 on the CAT pump model. How’s the unit doing after some time. I’ve heard from pressure washing business people to stay away from AAA pumps.
A great and informative video. Thank you for sharing your wonderful machine. Perhaps I'll get a DeWalt. I currently have a Westinghouse 3200 PSI 2.8 gal. With a Westinghouse surface cleaner which is very beneficial that does the job, but I'm sure yours does a much more effective, and efficient job.
Great presentation...
Can this run a 16” surface cleaner with handles?
Damn this thing looks good !
I just picked up this exact pressure washer yesterday. Did everything per the instructions. Hooked it up turned the water on, turned the machine on, throttle up and no pressure coming out of the hose. About to take it back to get another one.
Yeah I would take it back. It should be ready to go out of the box
Hello is there anyway i can contact you about some questions regarding some units i see interest in and which would you recommend me
HOw well does this reach the second story of a house for softwashing?
Can you set up a pressure bypass on this
What's the benefit of using a circular cleaner opposed to using your standard jet/lance type set up? Less water usage?
It’s a million times faster for large areas. The wand is great for touch ups and placer the surface cleaner can’t reach
@@spear-it could you share the model/brand for the surface cleaner?
@@yj0902 I use a rigid 18” surface cleaner
Question, I adjusted the “unloaded valve”, which is that black knob. I twisted it to lower the pressure. Atleast that’s what I thought I was doing. I just saw on Facebook that someone said you aren’t supposed to ever adjust that because you will mess up your washer. They said you are supposed to lower the throttle instead.
Can you confirm or deny? I could of sworn the owners manual even said twisting the black knob was how you adjust the pressure.
I’d like to know this answer also
@kijuanus kelly don't do this. If you want to adjust pressure, just use larger washer nozzles
nice video and well done. i think you covered all areas thank you-i subscribed also.
Thanks man!!
Thanks! I just bought this from Home Depot
Awesome! Mine is still going strong
Question, I do remember that with my last pressure washer it was recommended to keep the wand open "keep water running" at all time while the machine was running, Do you know if this new model have a protection mode ? so I don't have to keep the wand running at all time while the machine is on or the 2nd option to turned off every time you need to let off the wand.
You don’t have to keep the wand constantly running. But I would recommend turning off the machine if you are not going to use it for more than 5min
@@spear-it Thanks, if I do have to stop let go the wand it's for just a few seconds normally but wanted to double check with you, thanks again !!
@@spear-it I'm thinking about to buy one this weekend .my question is what is wand????
No PW should run untriggered more than a minute max. To avoid this issue get a ball valve and you can quick disconnect it and leave the ball open. While water will flow it will be manageable at low pressure.
@@stevanhoffman4240 thanks for the advice brother !!
Why did you change the pump gaskets?
Hey I have this machine and I was wondering if you ever used the pressure knob that’s right next to the downstream injector. I wanted too use mine but it will not twist, and idea on what I can do too fix this
I have never used it. sorry man
You can reduce pressure that way but you also reduce GPM. The professional way to reduce pressure is with different sized tips. Consult a pressure washer tip chart and you can reduce as low as you want while maintaining GPM flow.
I have the same pressure washer bought it in like new condition used maybe twice but it doesent have that oil breather that you have to replace with the red cap. Do you know where I can get that?
I would call Dewalt customer service at 1 (877) 362-4271 and order directly from them.
Great video!!!
Thank you!
Loool i work powdercoating the parts and i recognize each part
what size surface cleaner were you using? i have a 15" with rollers so this machine should run it just fine i would think
On the box it should say what the surface cleaner is rated for. Mine is rated for 4200psi max
16 inch is text book. Up to 18 but you'll have to move slower. Rule of thumb is 4 inches for every gallon per minute.
Hey Roman, you mentioned not using the tube/connection for soap because you have X-Jet. What is that, can you do a video?
The x jet is a nozzle that has a tube connected to it that will draw chem from a bucket
Mine is leaking water from the garden hose to the water pump connection. The leak isn’t coming from the hose it’s from that little wiggly part. I’m not sure if I can take that off some I can apple tape. Please help if you had this problem.
Is it missing the rubber gasket?
@@spear-it lmao you need the rubber gasket on it omg I’ve tried putting the nose on it but it wouldn’t attach ima try again
@@spear-it haha yeah no leaks omg I’m so dumb! Thanks a lot saved my headache. Have a good one happy Father’s Day!
@@Andrew-kt3lk hahah no worries man. The only reason I knew that is because I asked someone when I got mine hahah
Where can you get the replacement breathable oil cap? I can’t find it anywhere!
To be honest I’m not 100% sure. Maybe the manufacturer can send you one. Or try putting a piece of tape over the opening and poke a hole in it.(I have no idea if that works)
If you living in Pensacola it would be so awesome if you doing videos and showing us the Area.
would this pressure washer be useful in removing rust from metal walls
I don’t think a pressure washer is the right tool for that job. But this one sure does have a lot of power
A little late but yes you can. there is an attachment for the front of the wand that you can order. you put the attachment into a bag of sand "pool sand works the absolute best" and there you go. runs through sand fast though
Hi,where did you get the ramps?
Can you send me the link where you got the ramps from. Thanks
Hey! I got these ramps from tractor supply
How did you turn it on? Is it turned on by it self? Because suddenly someone else was cleaning the floor
It uses a pull cord
I just bought the same exact one. Still in the box. Is that a true down stream injector? Good video, and thanks!
Awesome! Yes it works just like a down stem injector. I think the ratio is 1:20
Nice 👍🏻
what surface cleaner works best for this pressure washer?
I use the RIGID commercial surface cleaner and it works great!
I bought the 3600 psi
I accidentally put engine oil in the pump oil is that a problem ?
Just drain the engine oil out and replace it with the correct pump oil and that should be finne
Can you use SH through the downstream injector ?
Yes just make sure to flush it out with water after
New sub. I’m thinking of getting the 4gpm Dewalt from Home Depot. It is the non-Honda version for $799. Thinking about it. I am currently using the 2.4gpm Simpson with Honda which works great.
Good choice!
I just purchased the 4200, with a CAT pump.
I read a lot of bad reviews of this pump.
Have you had any problems?
Thanks for the review
Thank you! So far I haven’t had any issues with the pump.
I don’t why but why I can’t adjust the pressure it’s hard to turn help me please
Hey josh! I’m sorry I have never adjusted the pressure. When I need lower pressure I turn the throttle down with the lever
How is the ridgid surface cleaner. Reviews seem mixed
I really like it! But I can see why the reviews are mixed. I have two, one works great. I use it on big commercial jobs and small residential jobs. I bought a second one to have as a back up and after one job the spray bar stopped spinning when the pressure is turned on.
Hopefully it’s an easy fix. I just haven’t had a chance to look into it yet.
What happens if u don't replace the breather cap to the pump and run it like that
To be honest I’m not 100% sure
Good question. Ordering my machine today. Sure hope it does not get left out.
Is the GPM too high to run from a home water source?
No not until 8gpm
Did that new plug come with the washer ?
Yes sir! It comes a long with the instructions. There are a million warnings in the box. So don’t worry about missing it :)
What surface washer are you using with it?
I use a 18” surface cleaner from RIGID
Can you drop the pressure to like wash a car?
There is a way to lower the pressure
Hey great video! Just purchased this and looking forward to getting started… unfortunately though My unit wasn’t shipped with the vented oil cap that you’re discussing in the 6-minute mark of this video. Any idea where I can find a replacement??? Thank you!
I know this is late but I bet you can find one on Amazon
Why do you need to change the oil plug?
The plug they ship it with is solid and the one that you have to replace it with has a hole in it. It’s called a breather plug. It allows the pump to get air.
How many hours a week I can do with this machine. Or how many hours a day.
Im not sure what the factory recommends but I've ran for a full day multiple time in a row when I did an apartment complex and it worked great
UPDATE:1 year and still cranks within the first 2-3 pulls. Probably will buy another when this one finally does bite the dust ruclips.net/user/postUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX . No issues at all. Very happy with it.UPDATE: After 6 months of use and over 70 uses I would still highly recommend this pressure washer. It does vibrate a decent amount but never had it “walk” like others have mentioned. No oil leaks, still seems to run like the day I bought it. Still cranks within 2-3 pulls every time. Very happy with my purchase!Have used it about a dozen times now. Plenty of power, cranks up on 1-2 pulls every time. My only complaint would be I wish it was a little taller to make it easier to walk with it (hits my ankles a lot) and that the two hose connections were a little further apart but it hasn’t caused me any issues. Seems to run a good 1-1/2-2 hrs on a full tank, overall a well built machine and definitely worth the money in my opinion.
Yes I love it!
Good video Man.
Can this reach the upper area of a tall 2 story or 3 house from the operator standing on the ground?
Yes it can. But that more depends on the tip you use
@@spear-it Thanks for the reply. Can you please tell me what tip or tips would be needed to reach that heigh
@@ousamaabdu794 anytime! I use an xjet M5 to reach second stories

@@spear-it Thanks again for the help Man, much appreciated
Thank you, I'm looking for a pressure washer, I'm going to to paint houses
Does the pump need oil also?
Yes it does. You change it they same way. Just drain it out and replace
Can this be used with a water butt ?
Works exclusively with the water butts
What surface cleaner is that
That the RIGID commercial surface cleaned
I have a full sized sedan. Do you think I could fit this unit in the front with the seat flat or through the back?
I know this is late but I don’t think this would fit in a sedan
@@spear-it I went ahead and bought it. I own an office and window cleaning business and enough ppl kept asking me to pressure wash. I pulled the trigger on the same size Simpson and I got it to fit in the front seat with the seat flat… probably going to get a van soon but it works for now.
Florida is so dirty god damn . I don’t know if I can do this in California:/
nesesito explicacion en español porf
hey my guy how do you go about getting commercial jobs
I’m no expert, but what works for me is sending letters to businesses.
Is it really 4000psi?
Yes Dewalt is a trustworthy brand im my opinion
Mines won’t spray help
take it back for a new one. Hopefully there will let you exchange it
Does it use a cat pump?
it uses AAA Pump
Never run the engine speed at anything less than full power. Use the off loader valve ( the big black knob at the top of the pump)to control the amount of pressure you need at the nozzle….
Thank you for the tips!!
Thanks
Watching to see start up cuz mine wont, he skips the only part i’m here for
First start took me longer than expected to get it going. Just kept trying and eventually it started. It’s been fine since.
mine was close to $900 - that said - simpson AAA pump (made in china) junk - engine went in and out constantly - returned to depot - will buy a northstar with honda engine and CAT pump - shoulda the 1st tome
mine is pathetic, i have hated it sense i got it, it's a rarity for it to run for more than two minutes at a time, which makes a guy want to pull out his hair when he's pressure washing the roof. Just thinking about it makes me froth up like a Karen on fire and i'm pretty sure that i'll never buy anything that's yellow again
I would get a new one...
You remind me of Seth MacFarlane from family guy
Super cool?
@@spear-it absolutely cool
EVEERYONE HE STARTS USING IT HERE 6:19
You can do it faster your wasting water
