DeVilbiss also manufactures pressure washers for other brands including Ex-Cell, Porter Cable, Delta, Pressure-Wave and Water Driver.

They had a bit of a problem back in 2004 and 2005. There were complaints that the plastic wheel hubs on the pneumatic tires would break and cause laceration and fracture hazards to the consumer. The recall affected over six hundred thousand (620,000) DeVilbiss Pressure Washers made under Excell, Porter Cable, Delta, Water Driver and Pressure Wave names sold in many home and garden centers and major retailers like Lowes for between three hundred ($300) and fourteen hundred ($1400) dollars. This was a voluntary product recall and the company’s goodwill was not damaged.

They still manufacture some of the best pressure washers available this side of Karcher’s pressure washers. You can buy Porter Cable and Delta pressure washers at major retailers across the country and many online sites as well. If you are looking for a DeVilbiss pressure washer you will not be able to find one. Be assured if you have one of the brands listed above it was manufactured by DeVilbiss in their plant in Tennessee.

Just for fun I looked for Porter Cable pressure washers and found three listed on a website dedicated to Porter Cable tools of all kinds. There are three gas powered models listed for commercial use ranging from 6.5 HP to 13 HP and with pressure ratings of 2800 PSI and 3700 PSI all with a 3 gallon per minute flow rate. Prices are between eight hundred ($800) and twelve hundred ($1200) dollars.
