Is the pressure strong enough to reach 2nd story windows & siding?

No, i think you need a higher psi for that. Something else make sure the hose is 80 feet long . The box said we can get this at Walmart but is it not true . I E-mail Amazon about it that i wanted to buy the hose .no luck

There are three attachable nozzles for differing pressures. I think it depends on what you are trying to do. If you are just washing, and using solution, yes. If you need a hard core removal of moss embedded in wood siding, maybe not. I have been VERY pleased with this machine, however, and it is more powerful than I thought it would be, plus easy to start and transport.

Bob, This is my third pressure washer over my 70 plus years, one electric and two gasoline powered. I don't have a two story house but this Power Stroke is much stronger (2200 psi) and has a better reach than the 1700 psi units I've owned and used in the past. I think it would clean siding on a second floor. You might have to buy an extension wand for gables on the second floor. Don't know where you're shopping but the Tool Store in our Outlet Mall sold this one and offered a 30 return if I wasn't happy. I think Home Depot does the same thing. Hope this helps.

I use it for our vacation cabin in GA. We get tons of leaves on our deck because we are in the mountains. It has great pressure!

My window has an outdoor ledge and I have bricks on the ledge to support it. I'm not sure if if really needs it - I do it so there's not as much pressure on the windowsills.

It is very strong depending on the air pressure you adjust to. How ever long you want it.

As long as the siding panels are horizontal and you have a way to get the tab up under the panel, you should be fine.

I don't think it's that powerful....not enough to reach high places if you're spraying siding on your house, etc. We used it to spray deck cleaner on our deck and porch railings...worked great for that. You would most likely need a pressure washer to reach 25 ft...just a guess. Hope this helps!

The better closed up and sealed the area the better. A window is suggested so that you can use the attachments to make a good seal. Even given that, this has a hose that can stretch out to about 4.5 feet. You could still get a really nice gust of cold air and try to get the hottest air as far away as possible.

I would certainly hope so. They're holding up your house. Plus as I recall they are stronger than traditional joists, by far. Ok, that was a bit more flippant than I meant. Still I think you're safe.

probably not. 2 main reasons. nail head has to be held out from wall so siding can move w/expansion contraction and I don't believe the gun is capable to do that. and the nail head is too small to guarantee it will consistently hold siding in place during windy conditions

The unit is not equipped with a pump and does not pressurize water. It only heats wTer as it passes thru. Under typical water pressure of 40 - 60 psi it should work fine for the 2nd floor. You will lose 1 psi of pressure for each 2.3 feet in elevation rise.

No but make sure the hose is rated for the incoming pressure (typically not an issue).

I have no idea. Mine leaked almost from day 1 and we just have regular suburban water pressure. It's not even that strong actually, compared to other neighborhoods.

Yes it be strong enough .But y would have to put a block of wood on the jack in order to get the air conditioner high enough to reach the the window.I would use a 6x6 about 18inches long. I also have back problems so Ihave Used this method.

Yes just do not use a lot of down pressure as you may crack a shell if it is thin or near an edge. It takes a little bit to figure just what the correct pressure will be each bit will be a little different.

I have used one of these to operate the aluminum window on a greenhouse for two years...works well for that. Lifts the weight of the aluminum window straight up. Not sure it could handle the weight of wood 2 x 2s. Since it is hinged at the top, it wouldnt be lifting much weight. Try it and if you have problems, put a second one on the other side.

I don't think so. You'll need sufficient pressure to make it work effectively.

No. I would recommend one that's a little heavier. If you keep window closed then yes.
