Like the other reviewer, I, too, received a very dirty Factory Reconditioned Campbell Hausfeld RBPW1580LE Electric Pressure Washer. I had waited anxiously for it's arrival and was very disappointed when I opened the box. There were scratches and deep gouge marks in various places. Not to mention it was grimey with actual dirt on the unit. It looked WELL used, but certainly not lovingly. Still, I figured, hey I waited this long, I might as well keep it. I hooked it up and water leaked everywhere. There was some leaks in the connections. If that was not enough, the motor sounded like it was having dificulty staying on. I tried to rationalize keeping this despite the various problems but that was the final deal breaker -- I contacted Amazon, arranged the pickup and sent it back where it came from! To Amazon's credit, I got no hassels for the return and my account was promptly credited. Unfortunately, it made me seriously rethink purchasing "reconditioned" items. I will definitely be a lot more hesitant in the future.

Delivery was rapid and very satisfactory. The product was in good condition with the exception of one of the wheels, which was broker. I contacted the companies customer service and a new wheel was received in about five business days.
 Product worth money. July 13, 2005

I was pleasantly surprised when I opened my Power Washer box. Product looked new, all parts were there and it worked as advertised. Product was also packaged well. Would recommend buying the reconditioned washer and saving at least $50.
Stay away from this! August 28, 2005

I received this washer yesterday and was disappointed when I opened the box. Like other reviewers here, I received a VERY dirty and scratched up unit. However, I ordered the unit knowing this could be the case and was prepared to keep it. That is, until I assembled it and started using it today to clean my patio. I have two major issues with this:
1. Leaks -- The hose that connects the wand to the unit leaks, regardless of how tight I fasten it. Because of the leak, the unit thinks it should be on, and thus, turns off and on intermittently.
2. WEAK! -- I bought this so that I wouldn't have to always borrow my friends measly 1100 PSI pressure washer. Boy was I surprised when I compared the two side by side and found that the 1100 PSI unit was MUCH more powerful. This was mostly due to the fact that the 1100 unit was able to condense its' output to a fine stream, which is great for getting dirt out of cracks. The campbell hausfeld unit's most condensed output is still a "spray" as opposed to a "stream".
I am ultimately very disappointed in this item and have just filled out the return form. It'll be going back to Amazon tomorrow. As another reviewer said, this makes me think twice about ordering refurbished products, especially online.
