PowerFit PF31023B Surface Cleaner, 15-Inch

I have been pressure washing my driveway the old fashioned time consuming way with the factory wand for well over a decade plus. I first saw the commercial version of these at the local Home Depot for rental. At that point I thought that maybe there was a cheaper version online. I found the PowerFit PF31023B Surface Cleaner for an unbelievable price. I read the reviews and based on what I read I decided to take the leap. I did and all I can say is WOW! What used to take me 10 hours was now done in under 2 hours. Now only was it done in a fraction of the time it was also a better job as this does a more uniform job. I have 2 wands for my pressure washer and tried them both. I found the wand that was longer (around 5 foot total length) worked a lot better. The longer wand allowed the surface cleaner to ride at a shallower angle which made it a lot easier to push. This is one of the best purchases I have made to date. My pressure washer is old, real old and the pressure relief valve leaks by a lot. My pressure washer is rated at 2600 PSI but I know it is not running that high due to the relief valve leaking by. Despite the surface cleaned did a great job. I imagine it will do the job even faster next year when I have the pressure relief valve replaced and working under full pressure. I would recommend this unit to any do it yourself home owner with out hesitation.

As a Top 500 Amazon Reviewer, I'm cautious about which products I give 5 STARS. This review for the Powerfit Surface Cleaner is based on my initial results using the device. In the event I run into any issues like I've seen others post, I will update this review. Background: I have a 12 year-old Excell Pressure Washer (2250 PSI) that I've been using with a wand/nozzle sprayer, that in the past, I used to clean my lanai pavers. Using the wand sprayer caused a mess; debris and gunk that was lodged in between the pavers would go all over the place, including into the pool and all over me. I switched to the Powerfit Surfcae Cleaner to see if this was an easier solution, and YES, this surface cleaner does an amazing job. 1.) The Unit is lightweight; the orbital nozzles make it almost like a hovercraft when in use. 2.) All the debris and gunk between the pavers is easily cleaned out and it doesn't get flung all over the lanai. 3.) Using a slow-backward motion, the Powerfit does a great job cleaning the surface evenly with little effort. 4.) It takes 1/2 the time to clean my lanai versus using the wand. Preventative maintenance: To avoid the issues others have run into with the nozzles clogging and the washers sticking, I'm going to spray some WD40 into the tube and around the washers to keep it lubricated while not in use. I only clean my pavers once per year, so hopefully this will keep the unit lubed for future use. Overall, I'm VERY SATISFIED with the 1st time results. NOTE TO SELLER: You should update your PRODUCT PHOTO, as the product received is not the same as what you have pictured. I hope you found this review helpful in making your purchase decision.

Does what it is supposed to do. The nozzles rotate and clean/loosen dirt on flat surfaces. It does require washing the loosened dirt away with the power washer with a regular nozzle, but this is just rinsing. Also note that the cleaning portion is about 1/2" smaller in diameter than the outside. You will have to clean edges with a regular power washer wand at the time you rinse. Even having to go back and rinse, the unit really did make the job go more quickly. It also was less back breaking and made the cleaning almost as easy as vacuuming. I did buy a longer extension wand which allowed a longer reach. However, it does NOT clean as well as a single close power washing nozzle. You may have to hit a few stubborn spots afterwards with the regular nozzle. I expect this is because of the split flow (2 nozzles). I also expect this will be more pronounced with a lower pressure electric pressure washer. I use a 2600 PSI gasoline powered pressure washer. Again, total cleaning time is still drastically reduced. For the people having problems (vibration, noise and no cleaning), you somehow rotated the nozzles. I'll follow with pictures. I had the same problem because I over-ran a corner, the unit dropped and the nozzles clipped the corner. It knocked them out of alignment (pointed them more horizontal, in the direction of rotation) and the unit rotated fast, vibrated and didn't clean. I took a pair of vice-grips and rotated the nozzles back to nearly vertical (towards the ground). You want to leave them a little bit rotated to the rear so the rotar spins. You also want to keep them as close to the same as possible to prevent vibration. I connected the vice-grips to the nozzle and rotated until the vice-grip adjusting screw was nearly vertical, leaving the nozzle still slightly rotated to the rear. See third picture. I connected it back to the pressure washer and it works fine!

I used it to clean my cement pool surround deck. Over the winter it gets stained with debris and general airborne dirt. One pass with this power washer attachment and the dirt is quickly lifted off. It gave an almost new look to the cement. I did a fairly large area of about 16’X40’ in about 1 hour. Now that I know it takes little time with very good results I think I will be cleaning the surface a few times a season.

It worked perfectly but I have only used it one day. We’ll have to wait to see how it holds up. So far I’m very happy with this product. Made cleaning driveway, deck and walkway very easy and quick.

Worked great. We have a very large deck in a dusty area. It would take hours to pressure wash it with a wand. This Cleaned our cedar deck quickly and thoroughly! Just be careful to keep it moving or use lower pressure setting as it can leave swirl marks on the deck. I used a foam cannon and it helped a lot.

Used behind a 3000psi simonz power washer did not disappoint, very durable and simple to use. Would recommend it.

Used a few times after I bought it, was good. Then the center seal failed and it was useless after. Powerfit will not warrant the seal, the main part, so it’s now a waste of money. Avoid the costs and buy one less expensive. You can buy the parts and repair it yourself, but after just s couple hours use, I refuse to contribute to their shenanigans anymore.
