SIMPSON PS4240H Gas Pressure Washer Results
SIMPSON PS4240H Gas Pressure Washer Review
This SIMPSON Pressure Washer is part of the Pressure washer test program. In our lab tests, Pressure washer models like the SIMPSON PS4240H 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.

SIMPSON PS4240H Gas Pressure Washer Review
This SIMPSON PS4240H Gas Pressure Washer has ample power and the instructions are very clear and easy to follow. This is important because it’s not difficult to have trouble operating these machines if you’re not familiar with how they work. The adjustable pressure dial on the wand is a nice feature, has a wide range from low to high. Everything about the unit seems high quality, the Honda engine, CAT pump, aluminum frame, pneumatic tires, 50′ heavy duty hose. Unit is compact but heavy, and much louder than a typical lawnmower.
