Simple to use and worked…

Unboxing and assembly were done by my 14-year-old with very little oversight by myself. The instructions were straight forward, however the pages could have been printed a bit clearer.
I am comparing this model to my dated gas-powered pressure washer which is on its last legs.
Hooking up to water source and rolling out the hose was simple and required a lot less effort than my old washer. Yes, the power cord is there, but I never had issues with tangling or anything. I did not connect it to an app for initial use as I would rather experience a product right out of the box vs. feature enabled bells and whistles often promised with apps.
Use of the pressure washer was great and each of my kids took turns washing our cars, bicycles, deck, exterior windows, BBQ, and various springtime cleaning. While the pressure is not what we get from our old Gas PW, it did a great job with the ~2000 PSI delivered by our unit. A few benefits of this unit is there is no need to pull start the thing to get it going which is a struggle for smaller kids and the wand is more manageable for smaller kids to use.
Putting it away was simple, but the hose real has a poorly designed handle making it a challenge to roll up. Also, there is no good place to put the power cord, so I opted to wrap it around the handle vs. just hang it off the edge.
After the initial use, I decided to connect the PW to my phone to see what benefits I would get from the app. Once I did this, it enabled the hand controls on the wand so I could select the pressure on the go. Why this is not enabled by default is really a design flaw. I specifically choose products that do not require as little technology as possible and would have overlooked this product if given the choice between this model and one with no Bluetooth. I am glad that I can remove my phone and it still allows me to adjust the pressure, but again, there is no reason why a phone should be required.
Other thoughts are if this is a premium product, then it should have included the soap dispenser bottle and maybe put in an extra quick adapter for another hose (I use one in the garage and in the back yard).
Overall, I love the product and it does a great job at what it should do (Pressure Wash). What I do not like is the requirement for the APP and some quality-of-life improvements could be made.
