Problems with my Nomad power washer
I have the Nomad 12-volt power washer. I bought it last year when they went on sale for super-cheap because a newer model was being released.
I never used it, it's sat in my garage all this time. Last weekend, we tried to power it up and immediately the fuse inside the 12-volt car adapter blew. We tried to bypass that, using a regular wall adapter that happened to fit it, and it kept tripping the circuit breaker in the wall panel.
Any idea what could be going on here? I'm no electrician but does it seem like it has a short or something? I can replace the blown fuse but that seems pointless - based on how it keeps tripping the circuit panel I'm guessing something is wrong within the unit...?

Contact the manufacturer. They used to be Hoover, but now they have a different name I believe. Anyways, they should take care of you.
