When using the quick wash feature, do I need to engage the blade while washing, or just start the motor?

The blade must be engaged. Other wise the water will just spray directly on the ground.

We've had ours for several years. It's really hard to start now. What to do?

The blade must be engaged to splash the water all around under the mower's deck. This will clean the blade also.

Even though I have a dishwasher I often wash the set by hand. It's no more dangerous than any other grater/cutter.. I have never cut myself washing it (although I did julienne my finger when cutting a carrot one time - my fault). Just be sure to make all your washing strokes in the opposite direction from the one you would use when cutting and you should be fine.

I have an in-line shutoff at the pressure washer. I Before I attempt to start the engine I run the water through the wand. Then I close the shutoff and start the engine, opening the shutoff as soon as possible after the engine starts. I have had no problems yet doing it this way.

I usually wash all parts in the sink...e.g. hopper, grinding plates, blades, feeder, etc. Never the electrical components where the motor lies. Just check the manual to see.

I have washed the food processor bowl, blade and lid and the whip attachment. I washed the attachment that holds the rotary tools once in the dishwasher, and it wasn't harmed, but it did have some water stuck in the upper portion that had to be drained out after. Now I just rinse the attachment holder and the blades by hand after using and don't bother with the dishwasher. The motor part of the blender definitely doesn't go in the dishwasher or immersion in the sink, but it has never needed anything more than a wipe with a dishcloth.

I soak mine to get the initial dirt out, and then in the machine it goes. I wash them on a gentle cycle.

Neither. It's manual. Use it like a razor. The blade slides out of the handle for use, then back into the handle when not using.

Yes. Press gently first, pointing the nozzle to the area to be cleaned/washed.

I use the brush provided and a dot of detergent in a circular motion to clean the blade and mesh. It usually is the most time consuming part. Everything else is easy with warm soapy water and a rag/sponge.

I also have a front loading HE washer. The soap nuts work great in it. You do need to use warm water, if using cold, soak the soap nuts in warm water first to activate them.

I squeeze the two tabs and remove the blade head then brush the hair off. You can wash the blade, but recommend using a drop of machine oil on the moving parts after each use.

No, dishwashing is NOT recommended. To quote from the instructions booklet (the only English verbage can be found in the UK section) "Not recommended for automatic dishwashers, as high temperatures and strong cleaning agents could cause damage, reducing the lifespan of the product." It also advises "Place the wet VPower and inserts into the storage box to drip dry" "Never leave any of the V-Slicer parts in soapy water in case you inadvertently touch the blades while trying to remove them from the water." I only rinse mine with warm water immediately after using it and in all the time I have owned and used it, the blades are as sharp as ever. I LOVE the 'safety' setting - which simply raises the plastic 'V' above the lever of the 'V' blade, so you can not cut yourself - the first really foolproof mandoline I have ever used! The whole thing, main unit, additional blade storage unit and safety guard clip together, which saves space and keeps everything together. As long as you remember to place the blade in the 'safe' position(which is very easily done), you will have NO problems.

Yes, there is a small rubber washer, more like an O-ring, that is integral to the blade assembly.

No. No need to either. This thing runs like a champ! Just follow the starting instructions and you won't have any problems with this saw!

If you only have a couple of small items such as underwear, it is just as easy to use your hands. However, if you have larger items such as sheets, towels, and regular clothing it is easier and more efficient with the MobileWasher. I absolutely love mine.

There is an engineering problem with the machine. The wires to the on/off switch will pull off the first time you use it and the machine will not start again. You will have to replace the wires. Other than that it is a great power washer. Great engine and excellent pump.
