As with any gasoline-powered equipment, upon initial startup, the engine may smoke a bit excessively as the oil residue is burned away. This will clear up in a matter of seconds. If you have any concerns or experience a large amount of residue, please contact us for further assistance. Simpson power washers are designed to provide years of service. Proper use, care, and maintenance of this machine will provide a significant return on your investment.
Simpson Powershot PS3228 Gas Pressure Washer Test Results
Simpson Powershot PS3228 Gas Pressure Washer Review
The Powershot PS3228 is part of the Pressure washer test program. In our lab tests, Pressure washer models like the Powershot PS3228 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.
Cleaning: Versatility and efficiency in cleaning a range of surfaces. The better performers have multiple spray patterns that can cover various cleaning chores, from light, superficial cleaning to deep cleaning of concrete, decking, and other hard-to-clean surfaces.
Power: A combination of pressure, measured in pounds per square inch (psi), and flow, measured in gallons per minute (gpm). Higher pressure results in better cleaning of a given surface; coupled with a higher flow as well, you’ll get the job done the fastest.
Noise: A combination of measurements, based on dBA, reflecting the proximity of the operator to the pressure washer. While our Noise score averages measurements taken close by the machine and at the end of the hose’s typical reach, we strongly strongly recommend hearing protection for working close by a gas powered pressure washer in particular.
