Q: Hello Bill I have a CF1800HD Electric powered high pressure washer and I'll like to know if it will work with MTM Hydro Long-Range Detergent Foamer Attachment
Thank you by Anonymous on July 11, 2012
A: No, this MTM foamer attachment model 14.0263 will not work with the Clean Force electric model CF1800HD. The MTM foamer requires 1.8 gpm's and the Clean Force model only puts out 1.4 gpm's. by Bill, Product Expert
Q: The 5 pack (NZMQC5P-030) you have listed here for the CF1800HD, it says that its for gas units, is it okay to use them on this electric unit? by Raul on March 05, 2012
A: Typically those spray tips are for use with a gas powered pressure washer. However, it really depends on the connection at the spray wand. This Clean Force pressure washer uses a metal quick connect connection so these 5 pack of tips can definitely be used with this machine. You would want to purchase the 3.0 orifice size tips for this machine. by Bill, Product Expert
Q: I have the clean force 1800 electric pressure washer. If I turn on the water and the switch to turn on unit all works ok. when i let go of the wand it stops as its supposed to. My neighbor says I am ruining the unit if I let it sit more than 30 seconds without pressing wand back on. I can't find this in directions anywhere. Is this true? He says I need to turn off switch and water everytime I let it rest 5 minutes by Richard Chase on December 09, 2011
A: No that is not correct. Since this machine has a total shut off when you let go of the trigger, you are not damaging this machine if you let it sit for 5-10 minutes without turning the actual switch off.
I would not recommend letting this machine sit like that for a half hour or anything like that because the motor is still receiving power. However, what you are currently doing will be completely ok and not have any negative effects on the machine.
If this was a gas pressure washer or if this electric machine didnt have a complete shut off feature, then yes you would be causing damage. by Bill, Product Expert
Q: which 0 degree nozzle should I order for clean force cf1800hd? by Anonymous on December 03, 2011
A: The correct size orifice you would need for this machine is 3.0, you can purchase part number 253-1/4-0-03-QC or you can purchase a 5 pack of every nozzle degree which is part number NZMQC5P-030 by Bill, Product Expert

Pressure hose leaks, hard to replace
First year start up and it has several leaks in the line.
PWD RESPONDS: Usually a Factory Warranty only covers hoses for 90 days since they are prone to user damage; but you could give the folks at Clean Force a call, toll free, at 866-902-9690 to see if they can help. Be sure to have the serial number of your pressure washer handy when you call them in case they ask.

Working much better with new attachments
Per my prior review-
I installed a quick connect fitting on the water hose inlet at the bottom of the unit, it threads in sweet and very tight- much better.
I installed the new 50' 14MM connectorized hose(with the new15-14mm adapter that is needed to make this possible)
Installed the new trigger/gun (had to because of the inlet size of the CF gun was 15MM- hose is 14mm)
Gun on ebay- $33=inc S&H
Adapter $7 inc S&H
Hose$55
Quick fitting adapter for bottom of unit, $6
= $101 in upgrades
Verdict-
Used it pretty hard today for the 1st time with these changes, and it worked much better than it did before, no cycling once it got primed up, no hose popping out of the unit, no having to move the unit(cumbersome design) because it now has a reasonable length hose.
I'm hoping that by leaving the unit's hose on the reel I won't have any problems with it.
Now that it's actually usable, we'll see how long it lasts....hopefully awhile, but if not, I'll have a spare hose, gun, and quick connect for the gas one that I will personally purchase next time.
I upgraded it to 2 stars, because with these changes it worked fine today, but these changes have now made this unit cost $280, and you can get a better gas unit for that $, so it's still not worth the money....and aggravation!
PWD RESPONDS: Please check your Owner's Manual carefully; on many consumer electric pressure washers the hose reel is for storage only; it's not meant to hold the hose while it's pressurized.
Starting with a brand like AR or Karcher may save you money in the long run on accessories- AR accessories fit AR products; Karcher accessories fit Karcher products; etc.
Once you step up into a gas unit, fittings are usually only 1/4", 3/8", or M22 (metric) so it's a little easier to customize your setup.

Stay Away... cheap pressure hose
I bought this last year used it once. I started it up this Spring and found three leaks in the pressure hose. The pressure hose only has a 90 day warranty.
I tried to put a new pressure hose on the unit and found out it to be near impossible to repair. I'm now looking for a new pressure washer.
PWD RESPONDS: There are so many high pressure connector sizes that it can get downright confusing. You may be more comfortable with brands that have their own accessory lines, like Karcher and AR.
Although please be aware that those brands have their own unique fittings, so they are not interchangeable- only AR accessories fits AR pressure washers.
It gets a little bit easier once you get into gas units, but there are still several kinds and sizes to choose from.

Good luck with the dinky hose on this thing
I can't even walk around my entire pickup truck with their dinky hose, so I bought an adapter/coupler and an extension hose....ya right, the fitting is a 15 MM instead of the common USA 14MM...I had to track down a 15-14MM adapter on Ebay just to use the extension hose, so of course I also need a new trigger/gun, because THAT is a 15 MM, and won't fit on the 14MM extension hose that is absolutely necessary with this unit because not only is the hose too short to do a simple pickup truck, the design is so poor it doesn't move around easily, and the hose keeps popping off the cheesy plastic.
It would also cycle slow...then fast...then slow sometimes (not always), like it was priming, but the water pressure is fine, and I was looking over at it to make sure the hose fitting was tight, and it was at that time (move it around and it popped out).
So far I have washed my truck with it twice, and I finally gave up the way it was because it was pathetic.
I bought a new 50' hose, a fitting to couple it (because of MANY hose complaints, I won't even unravel it...EVER!) to the unit, and a new trigger/gun just so it will be usable.
When the motor blows, I will toss it in the trash where it belongs, and buy a gas unit that has REAL wheels and is solid.
I didn't buy this, someone else did, and it was brand new when I started using it.....I would not even recommend this to my enemies.
"Hey look at that warranty, isn't that great?" No, they don't answer the phone, when you do contact them, they are rude, and don't have the parts anyway...2-3WEEKS? Are you serious?!
Look elsewhere.
PWD RESPONDS: Sometimes a garden hose longer than 30 feet can cause cycling, because not enough water volume is getting to the pump. You could also check the inlet filter for grit or debris, and make sure that if you're using an extension cord it is 12 gauge or heavier.

I Purchased This and After 4 Hrs Use the Hose Broke... It Happens; You Call Manufacturer and Get a Voice Mail That States They Will Return a Call.
After Threatening Them and Having Filed a Complaint With Point of Purchase, They Finally Called Back and Said They Were "Too Busy to Return Every Phone Call". So, If You Have a Simple Question, Good Luck.
a Product of This Nature Is Only Good as Customer Support, and Clean Force Customer Support Is Best Described as C***.
Buyer Beware.
Pwd Responds: Most Manufacturers Have a Short Warranty Period On Hoses Because They Burst If They Get Kinked Under Pressure, They Burn Through If They Hit a Hot Muffler On a Gas Unit, and They Can Get Sliced If They'Re Dragged Across Sharp Landscape Features. Those Are Not Warranty Issues Since They Are Use-Related, Not Defects in Manufacture.
That Being Said, All of Our Vendors Should Be Providing Good Service to Our Customers. We Apologize For Any Inconvenience, and Will Work With the Folks At Clean Force to Improve Their Level of Service.

Not good
I bought the unit last summer and used once to clean the gutter of my house. At first it works very good but this year, when I'm planning to used it again to clean the bottom parts of my car, the short hose broke down already.
I order the parts online from Clean Force, but sad to say until now the item didn't arrive. I call the Clean Force company but it is always answering machine, even leaving my contact number, but no response yet.
This is the bad experience that I have. This was my first pressure washer but it's not good.

Good machine but...
I bought this machine from another company. The machine worked great- lots of pressure, cleaned my deck in two sessions.
I put the machine up for a month (I take good care of my equipment and tools, and I stored the machine properly and this is not my first pressure washer), hooked the machine up, started to clean... and the hose blew.
I got the same helpful response from the Clean Force company: "Oh, well, buy a new hose, but we don't have them".
I left an old p/w back in New England when we moved to VA. I really wish I still had that old, made in the USA p/w. It will probably keep running like a 72' Nova.

Turbo Nozzle Adds Power
This turbo nozzle significantly improves the power and usefulness of this pressure washer. I truly do not understand why the pressure washer does not come with a turbo nozzle in the first place.
I was ready to return the pressure washer to the hardware store but thought I would purchase the turbo to see if it helped. It does- so I am keeping the pressure washer.

It is a blow out
I bought this model early this summer and was impressed with the hose reels and how easy it was to assemble and operate.. UNTIL Monday. I went to use it and there was water coming out of the bottom of the unit.
The more I used it the more the water shot out of it. Tuesday my wife used it to clean the deck and it would not hold pressure to complete the job. Since it would not hold up for one season, I will stay clear of the brand in the future.
PWD RESPONDS: This unit has a 2 year Factory Warranty; you may want to call the folks at Clean Force directly, toll free at 866-902-9690.

Warranty What Warranty? (not our customer)
I bought this from another company on Saturday and wanted to use it that day . I had used it for 5 minutes when the M22 fitting at the end of the hose that connects to the wand blew off from the hose, the fitting had not been compressed correctly.
I called the company today about the defective hose, and I was told they do not have the part. That I should call back in 2/3 weeks about purchasing the replacement part. First a company should have the part for their products, and I ask why would I need to purchase the hose, when it is covered by the 90day warranty.
I was informed that if I did not buy it from Home Depot then I was not covered by a warranty. That I had only 2 chooses to return it to Home Depot and ask them to exchange it or to buy an new unit, why would I want buy another unit if the first one was crap and they do not stand by their warranty.
6/28/12 He bought it from Home Depot; we can't help him or validate his claims. BJ

This was easy to put together, but I wonder if the folks who design these ever use them. The handle for the electrical cord will unscrew and drop off if you crank it in the normal clockwise direction to take in the cord. I cranked it backwards to make it work. The same thing is true of the hose, which it is not possible to crank backwards, so the handle is always falling off.
After six hours of use, and after I had sprayed detergent on the walk, the pressure washer's connector to the garden hose broke off, making the entire unit unusable. I took it back and got a full refund.
As an afterthought, in case any designers are reading this, why can't you put the pressure hose on one side of the unit, and but BOTH the garden hose input and the electrical cord on the OTHER side. For me, the water and the electricity are always coming from the same direction, and the job to be done with the pressure hose is on the opposite side. As it is now, the unit is very awkward to move in an upright position on its wheels.
