I have had a lot of switch failures, as this model does use the mains switch dual purpose as power switch and pressure control. Thus the switch will eventually wear and the unit will not turn on if it has stopped for high pressure, other than by removing the lance end and draining it, then placing the end back, and the water hammer when opening it again is enough to allow the switch to operate again.
Aside from that, and the baby models not really being high pressure devices ( I miss the bigger WAP I had stolen, that one was quite capable of removing loose anything, and would get paint off any surface with ease, or remove anything at all, including being capable of cutting concrete if left on too long) the machines are good for occasional use, and at least Ryobi and Karcher actually do have spares for them. Drawback is they use an universal motor, not a decent induction motor, so life is going to be limited, and they will not run long periods without issue. 5 minutes on, 15 minutes off is the typical duty cycle I use, they do fail at higher duty cycles. Sadly a new unit is cheaper than a spare motor, though there at least you do get a spare lance and hose for when they fail as well, being that nasty thin high pressure pipe that cannot survive tight bends without kinking and failing.
