"We bought this power washer primarily to clean concrete around our new home. The drive, patios, and sidewalk were discolored by construction activities. This unit was all we needed to make our new home actually look new."

"I am a professional pressure washer,and I purchased a Powerhorse , while waiting for my regular machine to undergo some repairs and I found it to be such a simple and powerful little washer that is now a regular member of my workforce.The Powerhorse is strong enough for professional use but so easy to operate that your mother could use it."

"Got this about a week ago put it together and its great. It take me about an hour to put it together. It went together easy. Tried this on my mom's deck which is surround by trees and it made it look newit started on the first pull , I had to turn down the pressure twice but its stiil has good pressure to clean the wood. A couple of days later I use it to clean the two tractors we have great there to. One tractor is a 67 Ford 3000 which has been leaking oil or gas whichever one it clean it to almost were it look new. This Powerhorse Gas-Powered Pressure Washer is great in all ways great pressure and very well made. When you are putting this together don't forget to take out shipping plug from the pump and put the vented one in very important (see pump image) and you may have to have another person help in putting the motor on. I uploaded some pictures of the pressure washer. Excellent product I would recommend this pressure washer."

POWERHORSE GAS-POWERED PRESSURE WASHER,
October 22, 2009
By ron7
from Ohio
"I used the Pressure Washer to clean a lot of things at our home, like the wooden porch, wooden ramp, siding on the house, concrete garage floor. And then to top it all off, I had been wanting to take down the mail box and sand it down or what ever it would take and give it a new paint job, but i fiqured it would be a really big job to completely take down the box and bring it up to the garage, but then I thought about the pressure washer and took it down to the mail-box and did the job right there, it took off all the old paint with out having to take it down, Thank You so very much for having these products that we can use for a lot of different projects!!! ron7"

Plenty of Power!,
October 19, 2009
By torchQueen
from Carlton, MN
"Plenty of Power and water preasure! Used this washer to strip the paint and stain off my deck; worked great w/ a turbo nozzle.
Would give this P. Washer five stars..... but after only a few hours of operation it developed an oil leak and I had to return it to have to crankcase cover gasket and PTO main seal replaced. It took almost a month to get it back, but I now have it back and it seems to be working just fine. The other down side is that it does not have a preasure relief system to help while starting the engine. If a person doesn't know any better, they may just continue pulling on the rip cord until it breaks; when a simple squeeze of the wand trigger releases the preasure and allows for an easier pull start.

great product intro for this brand..,
October 3, 2009
By tqcoghill
from landrum, s.c.
"I recently purchased a comparitive pressure washer, and to my suprise it was a distant second to the powerhorse that i recently picked up after having to take the other rig back, due to the engine seizing with less than 8 hours use. So far , this pw has delivered what it claims to. Nice job on the sale as well... the folks I delt with in Spartanburg are top shelf in my book. Nice job of picking the right people to do a sometimes difficult job. Thanks to Barbara and the rest of the crew, I"ll check with NT+E first , the next time I need a new toy to put on my wish list.. See you in the catalog -- Tony"

Pressure Washer,
September 24, 2009
By GrandpaJD
from Perry, IA
"I purchased this pressure washer about three weeks ago. I read a bunch of reviews but was still confused about which one to buy. Used it twice and it is the most awesome thing I have ever purchased. Right out of the box it preformed better then I expected. My son-in-law did a deck with it, he used to refinished decks for a living and stated this washer was one of the best he had used. For the price I don't see why anyone would buy anything else."

Clean that R.V.,
September 7, 2009
By PhoenaticRV
from Max, North Dakota
"I bought this unit after owning those small electrical ones that never seemed to get the job done one kept Breaking or leaking from the bottom of the unit the place where I purchased it were quick to replace it so I have no quarrel with them but the unit was too small for the jobs I required so I went ahead and bought this unit hoping to end this problem that I keep having to deal with so far this unit has performed flawlessly with the power to spare in fact I adjusted the power down a little quit messing with those small electric ones and break down and buy one that's going to do the job I say this because I've experienced it the place where I bought the small electric one refunded my money and I put it towards this one again I have cleaned my RV and my neighbor's RV just the front where the bugs accumulate and with flawless results yes I would buy another one if this one ever fails but keep the oil changed and it should last through many many jobs I highly recommend this unit...D.G."

Tools Needed,
July 27, 2009
By Downeasta
from Downeast Maine
"I was surprised that even in the downloadable information the items needed were omited. So here goes.
1/2" wrench, 1/2" socket with ratchet / 3/4" open end wrench, 9/16" wrench or socket / 15/16" wrench and 15/16" socket with ratchet. At least a quart of 10-40W oil (you only need a pint for the engine), and 30w SAE non detergent oil for the pump (about a cup).
I have owned other pressure washers in the past. This one far exceeds the ability of the other brands. It always has been a pleasure to purchase items from NH Northern. Thankyou for being in business."

Need help,
May 31, 2009

"I purchased the 2.5 GPM 208cc unit, I have used once and it work great, the second time I used it the start rewind spring poped out and rattled so I stopped the engine. I reinstalled the spring several times and with same results. Something is missing in the rewind as there is to much tolerance and free play. Can someone send me a parts schematic of the recoil unit.

Powerhourse Pressure Washer,
April 4, 2009
By LIEUTENANT9
from Illinois
"The item arrived several days faster than expected. This pressure washer was assembled with ease using the instructons. The only negitive thing I have to say about the instructons is. The instructions say to use 10W-40 oil in the water pump and the tag on the water pump says to use SAE30. I chose to use 10W40 in the pump and SAE30 in the motor. Start up was easy using the instructions and the pressure washer worked like a charm. I Looking foward to other projects I have for this item. The only thing that would make this Item better would be to add the needed oils in the recommended amount."
