    The product, in the report: 1750 psi, 1.3 gpm pressure washer

    Ref.: Harbor freight’s pressure washer Portland 1750 psi, 1.3 gpm, corded, electric. The instance happened while I was washing the house’s deck. The pressure hose to wand connection is unsafe. The hose is held in position by a plastic clip that is prone to fail, the clip is clearly not strong enough. Such failure results in the hose coming loose with such force that can cause severe damage or injury, besides, the momentary high pressure jetting that may occur during separation while so close to the body may have severe injury. Nobody was injured. It was purchased in 2019 but used today for the first time.
