Bought it because of great little package / design to clean my steps once a year but within 10 hours of use over 1 year, started leading water from inside the yellow shell. Not sure of leak source. Engine died within 15 hours of use in the 2nd year. Wasted $110. I read a lot of similar issues on the Lowes brand. I think I'm going to stick with renting the gas powered machine 1-2 times a year.
