Does anyone else have problems with the hose marking white baseboards/ walls when it skims across it? Thank you!

I mostly use the power hose as I find the stretch hose to be a struggle...wish I could find a power hose less than the standard 30 foot hose...a happy medium would be nice

that is why people use the available "socks" made for the hose. It helps with marks and drag marks on hardwood floors. We have them our hoses.

Yes, just took mine down due to redecorating. Had no problems and the surface was painted paneling. Just a matter of time and effort getting edge and pull.

Mine has started doing the same thing, only it worked really well for a few months. I think it's because I wiped the inner circle on the bottom, which the instructions say not to do. I did it lightly, because I want it clean, but apparently, this ruins the unit! VERY frustrating because now I have to buy a new one!

Hi, you might want to unscrew the bottom to see if it is clogged but first I would remove the hose and check there. I have had little objects get caught there and it would loose suction. I have 2 of these and have had the one for 5 years now and love them both. Hope this helps

yes i had this problem, but instead of worrying about hte potentially permanent damage it could have caused, i got it installed on the wall for real cheap. By Tr-State Installs.http://www.tristateinstalls.com/index.htm

I haven't got mine yet but what I did was scrape/sand off the bedliner and made it smooth again. That way the 3M tape that comes with the product will have something to adhere to. We'll see how it works.

I have the same problem. It's very annoying. Only thing I can think of is to tape it but then it would be a pain when you need to put the brush attachment on. Poorly designed.

Try checking the hoses for a clogged area if not go to the manufactures site and see if they may know what is happening. I have used mine quite a lot and have had no problems.

Wow, mine is the same age and may have the same issue! The hose barb on mine developed a crack along the seam in the plastic. I found a new one online right here at Amazon: "Solo 4074654 Sprayer Hose Barb". Expensive for a little plastic part. I wrote to Solo about the issue, but never received a response. This one will be delivered today in fact...

I just bought this unit in December and I have the exact same problem. I love the unit. It is on my bedroom carpet so I am going to try to put a mat underneath it to see if that helps and I will try to change the water level a bit as another person suggested. My guess is that the water sensor works well and the system needs to be level. Someone else told me to put it up at the highest setting and that may help. I really don't want to have to replace it and its too late to return. It really is an awesome unit. Looks great too

Yes, we had the same thing happen to us with the (blue) colored hoses. This season we purchased a new an improved (green) colored expandable hose and it is working out great (so far). Our hose get's used about every other day. I hope this helps.

I have had mine for a few months and have had not problems measuring along the side walls of a house or other building. Every once in a while it does not register as I am measuring, but a quick reset does the trick. That has happened when measuring on the ground, only.

I haven't used a hose. I empty by hand. Try disconnecting the hose and then running it. That's one way to narrow down the problem. If its acting normally then, I would reconnect the hose and try running it again. Hope that helps.

try twisting any one hose 1/4 turn and repeat until you get the movement you want. it should move in different directions as it cleans

I have not had that problem, but I did have to add a length of tubing when I first got it so it would cover properly. You might have to try that or maybe try less tubing. I hope you solve the problem. I have been extremely pleased with mine. It is so much better than the original Barracuda.

I went through3 of these already usually in less than 5 hrs running time.. I complained to company because hose would get holes from vibrating against anything wood ground etc. They did send me a new one. I split a garden hose and taped it over the pw hose then took pipe insulation and taped that over the hose. it is bulky but at least I was able to finish out a day of pressure washing..

I did not paint mine and it looks really nice. If I look at it from the right angle, I can see the seams, but no one but me seems to notice them. If you roll it with white paint, the seams will virtually disappear. If you've got any overlap, the seams will show worse and painting might be more important. Mine's been up for almost a year unpainted. I'll probably paint it someday when I get the energy/time or when I want to sell the house.
