The short of it is: If you are looking for a lightweight, compact electric pressure washer with an adequate amount of power do not hesitate to purchase this one.
This unit is not Manufactured by Stanley-Black&Decker, but rather a reputable Italian pressure washer company Annovi Reverberi.
While I have no way of verifying any of the performance claims (2150psi & 1.4gpm) it does seem like a reasonable clam. I used it for the first time today to wash the front of the house along with a short section of redwood fence (powe rwashed the fence several years ago with with a large gas powered 4000psi rental unit) and it performed very well in this application. For these tasks, this Stanly unit as more then enough power. It did just as good a job cleaning the fence as the 4000psi unit, and even better in that it did not have a massive excess of power to compress or sever the wood fibers like the 4000psi unit did if I got a bit too close.
The included foam cannon works well enough, and I don't have any experience with other brands to compare it to. There is a docking station on the bottom back of the unit that the foam cannon resides in and it seems to hold well.
Assembly was extremely easy, almost everything is pre-assembled and ready to go. All you have to do is clip the wand clasp on the side, and put the bottom wand support on with a single phillips #2 screw. Then, screw the high pressure hose to the wand and the unit, screw the feed water hose adapter on, connect to a garden hose, plug into a 120v outlet, turn the dial to "On" and you are ready to go.
Update after running this thing 6-8 hours a day for the past 4 days:
The pressure washer didn't miss a beat. Power washed the exterior vinyl siding on our 2 story 2000sq/ft house, patio, rain gutters, driveways, and redwood fencing around the entire property. The unit is great, literally went stretches of 45mins to an hour without stopping the motor and it was perfectly happy.
A couple of things I would suggest to purchase to really make this thing a complete, do anything unit:
First, if you are using this to wash a 2 story house I would highly recommend getting an extended lance with a built in detergent tank, as the included foam cannon has a short range and is more geared towards washing cars/motor vehicles. Home Depot has a nice 9-foot one for around $80 (if you go this route take the Stanley hose with you and get the necessary adapters.
Second, which I purchased today and wish I had purchased the day I started, is a spinning surface cleaner (one rated for 2000psi or below). The Ryobi one I got from HD, also available on Amazon, works surprisingly well on concrete surfaces and is MUCH faster and leaves a nice uniform, clean look on concrete. What I discovered it also works on (it is a miracle tool for this) is redwood fencing. It's kind of awkward at first, but once you figure out how to keep it moving flat against the board, it cleans a full 8-inch fence board in a single pass in about 15 seconds and leaves it cleaner then I could get with the 15-degree nozzle spending at least a minute.

Paid for itself in one project
I needed to clean about 150 linear feet of stained cedar picket fencing - but after doing two sections by hand, I knew there had to be a better way - as it was just killing my back with the bending over and scrubbing. I first checked out renting a power washer at the local big box store, but the one they had (less psi than this) would not fit in my car -- but the price was tempting at $30/4 hours. Next I called someone from the Services section of my local paper; his price would have been about the same as buying this but since he charged by the hour, it could have been more. I didn't think I would have any use for this after this fence project so I was hesitant to spend the money but decided maybe I could use it clean a deck someday. It did take about 10 days to arrive and I probably could have finished the fence by hand by then. But once I set it up (easy, and I am NOT mechanical by anyone's stretch: senior female) it was a 'blast' :-) to use! I really enjoyed it - and glad I purchased it. It took me about 4-1/2 hours to finish the project which was to clean the dirt and algae off of a not-so-maintained cedar picket fence (see pic) in preparation for new stain before the winter. Although much easier than doing it with a scrub brush by hand, I can't say it was easy to do as it still put a strain on my back, but not as much as if I had hand washed it - but I did find it rewarding to watch all the surface dirt and loose stain just fall away under the power of this washer. When it was done, there was nothing left to do but to re-stain the fence. I think I read some reviewers say that theirs leaked and it would shut off on its own - I did not find either to be the case. I did this project over the course of one afternoon with little power down time and it ran flawlessly the entire time - with no leaking. I was quite impressed at this price point - I presumed I was going to be satisfied but not 'wowed' at this price -- but I was wowed!

My backyard had been neglected for the last five years and was looking pretty shabby. I was debating as to whether I should hire some professionals or buy this machine and do it myself. I figured I would give it a try as this machine was very reasonably priced (and professionals would probably cost me a lot more!).
The bad – box was easy to open and the machine was easy to set up (five minutes). However, once everything was assembled I realized that the pressure nozzles were not in the box. Very disappointing!!! However, I called the service line and James was fantastic - I had the replacement nozzle sent out quickly and easily.
Okay that’s the bad stuff out of the way – everything else was amazing! Have a look at the photo… The difference it made to my five-year-old, weathered, never cleaned, cement pavers was amazing. The machine itself was very easy to use and relatively quick (250 sq ft maybe took 1 hour). I bought this model because it seemed to be one of the highest powered machines that were electric – and in that sense, it really delivered. It seemed to have more than enough power to clean anything (and I think any more might have damaged the material!). The wheels make it easy to move and the gun is very easy to control. The 25° pressure nozzle worked very well for me for almost the whole job, and then I used the 0° nozzle for any tough spots.
Despite the initial disappointment of not having all parts in the box, I’m very happy with the resolution and the product itself, hence five stars. It seems to be a very sturdy machine and I think it will last for years to come.
