I was looking for a new part's cleaner at work and I'm in the Mechanical & Machine Shop Maintenance Field so I needed something that could take a beating and clean great. I found it after the using this parts washer I wouldn't trade it for anything great price also.

I bought this parts washer to clean parts during small engine rebuilds. I have used it to clean carburetors, to parts before sandblasting-after sandblasting, to nitro RC truck engines.

Works fairly well, as long as you keep the filter clean. I would defiantly recommend this parts washer!

I would also recommend finding some stronger water-based solvents...As the purple Harbor Freight degreaser is not very strong.

I've used this weekly for about a year and I've had no problems with the pumps. I've used only WATER BASED solvents like the manual stated. Every month I'll clean the clumps of oil and debris from the sides and screen and it works great. Buy a bunch of brushes they help alot.

durable, only problem was the clamps provided, replaced them with better ones. Good bang for your buck.

DIY motorcycle repair--with the system on sale, it was a good value. Steel stampings for basin and legs are good. and other materials are of good quality, from what I can see.

It is heavy, and sturdy.

The basin drain plug is fine, but for draining in between parts cleaning, as drain valve would have been helpful--I purchased a ball valve and drain tube. Overall, I would buy this again.

Durring assembly I added wheels and a 2 way valve with a flow thru brush. Finally I added a heater to make the non-solvent cleaning solution work. Now this washer works Great!

I bought this parts washer before I started a trans rebuilt. It made the job SO much easier.

I have had no problems whatsoever. The pump works fine.

Next time I would pass on the solvent Harbor Freight sells and go with a biodegradable from from a more specialized vendor.

I was able to use the washer w/ the HF solvent mixed with hot tap water for most of the job.
Have a good assortment of brushes available, I used different ones than I thought I would be using for some of the pieces.

tank is nice and big,can clean large parts by taking out tray. the pump isn't the greatest,i need to hit it every time i need to use it,then the pump starts to pump fluid.


i recommend this unit as long as you either get the extended warrenty or replace the pump eith a better one.

The pumps was a little noisey at first but quieted down. Replaced the hose , by adding a 1/4 hose barb, and 4 ft peice of flexible chem resistant hose, with a flow through brush, with that setup it works great if it came that way would have rated 5 stars
