Wilks-USA RX525 High Powered Pressure Washer – 165 Bar

I researched Wilks USA, I have not heard of them, I saw them mentioned in pressure washer reviews, so they seem like a big name in America. I read stuff about the instructions being hard to understand, but it's easy to figure out assembly apart from the 3 colored nozzles. It's really clear to me from the instructions where they (nozzles) went and how to fit them, to summarize assembly on one word- easy.It's worth reading the instructions, just to remind yourself about what good looks like with regards to optimal operation of this pressure washer - it probably applies to any make- take home messages were :*don't let motor run for more than 1 minute without water in the motor*don't let the water freeze in the motor*ensure you have water running in the machine before you turn it on.*press the trigger to de pressurize the system after you turn it off.Delivery was on time, customer service from the supplier was spot on, I had a problem with payment and amazon said the delivery was going to be delayed, I rang the company direct and they still managed to deliver it on time.The Rx525 is way heavier (in a good way) than my previous washer--karcher K2, the RX525 feels way better quality, its stable and not flimsy unlike the K2 eg the K2 carry handle kept falling off ever since I had it.From the look of the spec of the RX525, its higher than a top of the range karcher K7 but half the price! This machine has a mass of accessories and power for half the price.I just used it to wash my driveway after my K2 broke, RX525 has sturdy metal threads to link all the wands and most of the accessories. It's especially easy to attach the hose to the trigger handle of the RX525 than the Karcher K2. The K2 hose link to the trigger is crap, fiddly, flimsy, the clip falls off of its pulled to hard. I catch my knuckles trying to detach the hose from the K2 but not the RX525.I put both machines in the photo to prove I have them and that this is therefore a genuine review, I hope you can see the difference in quality from the photos, so yes - this is more expensive than karcher K2, but trade up is not much more.Also 3 years ago I briefly owned a Bosch power washer, one of the higher end ones, can't remember which, but it had a built in hose real attached--I returned after 1 go, it it was no better than the K2 I was borrowing from my parents but cost from memory 225 pounds. In case adding this machine to the mix confuses things, the Wilks USA RX525 is the best of the 3 power washers I've owned.The only down side of the Wilks USA is the 12 month guarantee, and only time will tell about reliability.

Got this pressure washer Wilks-USA RX525 delivered 15 days back but I haven’t had a chance to try it out until now due to weather conditions.Happy with the delivery as it was delivered in 3 days - before my expected delivery date. Very well packaged and all parts mentioned on the website are included in the package so no complaints on that front.Yesterday proved to be a good day to use this for the first time although I did not use it on my new car as I wanted to try it out on something else to get a feel of it. So I ended up cleaning the slabs in my back garden. And it made a huge difference – the slabs look as good as new. Very less efforts and less time. I used all the three nozzles that were supplied in the box and they all worked as expected. The only thing I was disappointed was in the patio cleaner which was not powerful enough to clean the slabs, but perhaps it was because the slabs were well overdue with years of stains on them.I did not use the two brushes that came in the box as I believe they have different purpose like cleaning particular areas of the a car like wheels, etc and may be use them to clean exterior home hardware like PVD doors and windows etc. But looking at them they looks like they will serve the purpose.I am giving this product a 5star rating as I am satisfied with the performance. The patio cleaner is much suited to clean off accumulated soil and debris on garden slabs and driveways which otherwise can be removed using a hard garden brush but using the included patio cleaner with the pressure washer will make this job much easier and less time consuming.I will be using this pressure washer to clean my car in next few days and looking at the performance on my garden slabs, I am sure this will be more than enough for cleaning the car. If I face any drawbacks or problems, I will be sure to come back and provide my review again. But I am confident this will not be the case. Thanks.

Value for money wise, I think this beats Karcher. I bought this to replace a Karcher K2, which had several problems and had finally given up the ghost. The build quality is certainly superior to the Karcher (maybe the bigger, more expensive Karchers have equal quality). It has a robust chassis and a strong extendable handle. I haven't experienced any particular problems with instability, although having some kind of extending foot at the base would be an advantage. Water pressure is considerably greater than the K2. I like the quality quick release spray heads and the brass screw fittings. I tried the wide nozzle for applying snow foam, and whilst it applies it easily enough, it doesn't foam much. As someone else also pointed out, any chemical in the tank is very quickly used up. I'll be getting an adapter for my snow foam gun I think. If you're used to a small pressure washer, be careful with this - I managed to blow a hole into the seat on my 2 week old motorcycle trying to get some dirt out. Haven't tried all of the attachments and am very unlikely to try to car cleaning attachments as they look far too scratchy to me. Patio cleaner looks just like the Karcher one so I guess it does a good job. The hose reel is a great improvement over my previous washer and the electrical cable stores quite neatly too. All in all, for the price, this is a quality unit with a good build, powerful pump and a range of accessories.

We had a Karcher before this one and it broken within a few months of slight use. Went back and fourth from the manufacturer to get fixed a few times, till finally my warranty was out of date and couldn't get it fixed free of charge. In the end I dumped it and bought this washer. I'm finding more value for money as the build quality is better and it's got more power, comes with more tools, hose is longer, better equipped, and over all just smashes Karcher!There are few niggles, 1. Is that the instructions are poor, you'll spend some time figuring out how the thing works. 2. The hose spool doesn't reel in very well.
