Miller and Mason pressure washer, just DO NOT DO IT!!!

Purchased a Miller and Mason pressure washer and boy oh boy, what a mistake. Chinese built units with their own brand "Miller and Mason" applied to them.

READ THE REAL REVIEWS PEOPLE, NOT THE FAKE ONES THEY HAVE.

Delivered quickly but issue started on first use, the unit just blows fuses, I tried to contact customer support but no one answers the phone and there's a reason for that, having giving up that option I pressed option 1 which is sales, mentioned I could not get through to C/S he told me "that's because that line isn't manned" WHAT !!!!

So, we now have to go down the email route thus providing the option for them to be faceless and hide behind keyboards.

I informed them that this washer was just blowing fuses (7 in total) within 48 hours of purchase and I was told to "open the trigger on the washer before you start it to avoid stress on the motor" what a load of cobblers.

After many more emails they finally agreed to collect and, if needed, repair it. They did collect it and some days later we have a seemingly 3rd party report suggesting I was right and said they had replaced the capacitor.

The report:
INSPECTION RESULT:
The washer was inspected and found the fuse blown, as the customer claimed. As the customer claims the fuse blew several times, the capacitor was checked. If the capacitor has an issue with it, it can cause the fuse to 'trip' blow. Checked and replaced both the capacitor and the fuse.

They then suggested they were going to send it back to me but I did not want a repaired unit back and as I know my consumer rights laws I eventually, some 3 weeks and 22 emails later got what I asked for initially, A REFUND.

I do not exaggerate at all when I say Nitrotek did as much as possible to avoid their responsibiltes and their so called customer service is just appalling.

DO NOT BUY THIS WASHER.

Great little concrete mixer

Great little concrete mixer. Obviously has a limited drum capacity but it's Ideal for DIY use.
Comes flat packed so requires assembly, but it's pretty simple to put together and seems sturdy and robust. The gasket that goes between the two parts of the drum was damaged on delivery, but a replacement was sent immediately. The mixer had no problem in handling 30 consecutive loads in a day filling an 8 metre foundation trench for a retaining wall, so I'm confident that it'll be up to mixing the remaining concrete I plan to use.

Positive Experience

I have purchased from Nitrotek a couple of times and have had no issues. First order dispatched quickly and happy with the items. My second most recent order was supposed to arrive within a couple of days, but hadn’t heard anything regarding shipping so called them up, I was in a queue for around 35 minutes before I managed to speak to someone, but when they did answer the phone, my order was found and they dispatched it for next day delivery.
