Picked up one of these yesterday afternoon at WM. I got home after 9PM and put it together.
Darn thing was DOA out of the box. Instead of the cleaning solution spraying out down at the vacuum end, it comes pouring out of the handle down near the left wheel.
So last night around 11PM I say, "Screw it. I'm taking it apart!"
I found this:
Photo of inside the handle showing the guts.
Broken hose barb going into the water heater. Hmmm..water and 120VAC in the handle. Shocking.
Anyway, a trip to the hardware store and ~$10, drill and tap for 1/8-NPT and the nylon barbs are now brass (Sorry, no pics. I was in a hurry to get my chores done this morning).
BTW, this thing works great.....when it's working. It has a sight glass with a neat little spinner like an old skool gas pump that spins when you hit the trigger for the cleaning solution. I saw that and I was sold.
