Experiences With AGT Industrial Pressure Washers?

[thepipe]

Anybody have first-hand experience with these?: https://agrotkindustrial.com/produc...07763&pr_ref_pid=6678081699891&pr_seq=uniform

It is a 4000 PSI, 4 GPM HOT WATER(!) pressure washer for quite a bit less than other brands, especially since they are plentiful at auctions for >$2k. Electric start, too. Seems too good to be true, and you know what they say about that... Any first-hand knowledge is greatly appreciated.

Did I not post this correctly? I simply can't believe that, with all the people and experience here, nobody has used or purchased one of these.

Probably cheap because it uses cheap parts. I've only used Hotsy branded washers.

Be the guinnea pig and let us know how it is.

$3k USD gets you into a Easy Kleen . while not the worlds greatest, its better than the posted one. Made with quality parts and replacement parts are readily available.

AGT is a Chinese importer of machinery that has a very well documented poor track record with its mini excavators of at least of being able to adequately supply replacement parts. And its not just lack of parts but stonewalling customers that are trying to purchase them.

Actually, it is the availability of parts (or the lack thereof) that is really keeping me from pulling the trigger on this.

Yes. Bought one spur of the moment from a dealer off FB Marketplace back in February. Needed a hot water machine quickly and didnt have $5k to give to Northern Tool for the Northstar. Paid $2k. Cleaned graffiti, heavy equipment, driveways, and my F250 up to this point. The burner has done well and I have set the fuel for optimal performance after several "trial and errors". Engine had a tendency to run for a while then shut off. Will run about 2.0-2.5hrs before needing to refuel. Going to hook up an auxillary fuel tank in the near future. The 33' hose works if you are in close proximity of your target area. I hooked mine up to my 300' hose reel on my Simpson to get the long distance sprays. It stays locked down on the back of the F250 longbed hooked into a 300 gal truck skid poly tank. The AR pump draws the water and pushes it out smooth. Haven't hooked up a bypass, yet. I just run a hydraulic house back into the tank when I have to come off the trigger for a while moving position and hoses. All in all, this is my first hot water machine so I like it. Electric start is a big plus, however the draw cord does well also. The only research I had at the time was that they were being sold like hotcakes at farm auctions around the country. Has gotten the jobs done and looking forward to using it more in the future until I can afford a Hotsy. Hope this helps.

I highly doubt its an AR branded pump.

I can unequivocally confirm, mine has an AR. Not sure about others

It does help, thank you. I really wanted to hear from actual users of this, rather than those with second- or third- hand knowledge.

I think the skepticism is warranted based on the price point. I would assume it is counterfeit unless a serial number confirmed otherwise.

Regardless of brand, it's working for you, so that is most important

 

[Sumboodie]

They make skid steer attachments and mini excavators that are hot garbage, don't imagine that unit is any different.

Expect no availability of parts and all oddball sizes, threads, etc

If you buy it expecting it to maybe last a year or two before it's junk, probably be fine.
