Cub Cadet CC3224 pressure washer review

Plenty of power and cleaning made this gas powered Cub Cadet pressure washer our top performer overall. Among pluses are quick-connect wand and pump attachments and an industrial-class pump, which we believe will be more durable.

Moreover, this model was easy to operate, move around, and store. This is the only model with throttle control, which you use to shut down. We found the washer fairly loud, as with most other gas models, but the 25-foot hose lets you keep it far enough away. One caveat is the lack of a built-in soap tank. You also must manually set the trigger lock if you’re concerned about others’ safety.
