Excellent little machine and not too heavy. Once unpacked you have a few bits to assemble and the guide explains it all. The most awkward part is clipping in the hoses for the first time. Bit tricky but once you have done once, its straightforward. There is a plastic clip which slides back, insert hose and then slide clip forward again. The hose feels better that the one on older models and doesn't feel as stiff. I like it but perhaps its not as thick as the older models. Good strong jet and works with one easy control knob which is either on or off, Similar to turning a shower on and off.
I used the path cleaning kit and I must admit, its certainly better that getting covered in dirt and all sorts of organic material. Normally the spray goes everywhere and throws all the bits up but the jet of water is contained inside the cover. (Like an upturned basin). Some water does come out but not much and it certainly doesn't soak you.
I used the path cleaner and was unsure whether to dilute it or not as the instructions aren't that clear. It mentions that you can make a solution up but that's not for when you use the pressure washer.
The main body of the hose wand is good and easy to set to the correct pressure by a simple twisting motion. Connecting it to the other units is a bit more difficult and I struggled a bit until I realised I hadn't unscrewed the joining section enough. Again, do it once and after that is straightforward.
My overall impression is that its a good lightweight pressure washer which is ideal for small jobs, path cleaning, car wash, windows etc. Dont think its ideal for heavy duty work but that's not what I wanted it for.
