Home Depot
Husky Power Washer O-Rings Broke After Two Days of Use

First I went to Home Depot to buy a power washer, and I ended up buying the Husky 1600 electric power washer, which seemed like a good deal. The thing is very powerful, but after using it 2 days it broke. The tiny o-rings in the gun broke. I went back to Home Depot, and they don't sell parts. I had to call the Husky hotline and was told to go to a Husky parts dealer 5 miles from my house to buy replacement o-rings. When I got to the dealer, it turned out you can't buy just the o-rings you need. You have to buy a big bag with 10 o-rings in it, all different sizes. In the bag of 10 rings, only 1 was the size I needed. The bag cost $6.00. I got home and replaced the o-ring, and I used the power washer again. Guess what? After using it just one day, it broke again. The o-ring broke again. I took the piece of junk back to Home Depot, and luckily I know people who work there, so I was able to return the whole thing with no problem.

I ended up buying the cheaper Husky electric power washer, the 1400 psi unit. I noticed the gun didn't have o-rings in it, so I wouldn't have to deal with them. To make a long story short, save your money. This unit is even worse than the first one I bought. It is not nearly as powerful, and it is very cheaply made. I ended up returning it because the little hose connector is plastic, and the threads going into the unit get stripped after removing it 4-5 times and it needs to be replaced. I returned that unit also.
