Starts easy and works great !!!,
November 2, 2009
By Ron4uk
from Knoxville,TN.
"This pressure washer works better and starts easier than some of the more expensive washers I have used. The Honda engine starts very easy, hot or cold and has plenty of power for home use. The quality is very good which is typical with Northern Tool products."

Great pressure washer for any job,
July 20, 2009
By jfin
"I've had this pressure washer for several months now and it is working really well with no leaks at all. This pressure washer is perfect for every job with 2800 psi it works great for heavy duty jobs like getting all the grease and dirt off my farm equipment to light duty like cleaning my truck where it needs to be more fragile. That is why the adjustable quick changing pressure nozzles are my favorite of the whole machine. The engine runs great and has no problem pumping at all."

Pressure washer,
July 20, 2009
By cobblestone1820
from Bellaire, Ohio
"This is one item I wish I had purchased years ago. We have used it on my daughter's deck and use it around our pool on the concrete and our 3 car concrete drives. It also is good to get the grass off the bottom of my John Deere lawn tractor. I even have my wife and grandkids using it now. You won't be disappointed with this one."

Great Machine, i think 1 step up is better,
June 22, 2009
By kinko775
from S.C.
"I bought this pressure washer 7 months ago and i loved the power and how easy it cranked. However, the pump never pulled the chemical injection and I looked over that till the pump started leaking. The pressure washer has a 2 year warranty on it and I took it back to Northern and they replaced the pump. I know that the engine is a beast and the machine as a whole has enough power but I have lost some confidence in the pump. If they had the 3000 PSI pressure washer with the adjustable pressure at the time of my purchase then I would have gotten that one. Timing is everything. Overall is a good machine. I just hope the pump holds up."

Good Pressure Washer for a Homeowner,
March 24, 2009
By Codger
from San Antonio, TX
"My son-in-law and I have used this washer to clean concrete patios, sidewalks, and to de-grease engines and other equipment which he uses in this business, and we are both pleased with its performance.
It has all the power that I need, and the engine cranks readily. The price was right. I would recommend it to other home owners. I am just a shade tree handyman, and I have not had any problems using this machine."

Pressure Washer,
March 23, 2009
By Zinger
from Massachusetts
"Good product. Easy to get around. Doesn't take up much space during storage. The soap addition is pretty handy and works really well! Easy starting, also. It works very efficiently cleaning vinyl siding on the house. Able to adjust the pressure, is a super thing. In areas where you need to drop pressure, or for objects that you might want to be careful of damage, this is really great."

NorthStar 2800psi Washer,
December 1, 2008
By smokeless
from West central Indiana
"A great piece of equipment. If I had it all to do over again I might have spent a little more money and gotten a more powerful washer but this one is very, very good. The only things I would suggest they change is the unit should come with more than two nozzles, and the pump AND engine should come with the oil required for immediate use."

By Anonymous
from Cedar Island, NC
"The northstar pressure washer is the ideal unit for most any homeowner or small farm user.
It is small and lightweight enough for easy storage and mobility, yet has plenty of power for even heavily encrusted farm equipment.
It is well built with quality constructed features and will last for many years of dependable use."

Works Well,
August 18, 2008
By Mike238
from Seattle Wa
"Iv'e been using this product for over a year with no issues. I fires everytime, and works flawlessly. I'd purchase again.
The down part is always finding a hose long enough, but the one supplied is sufficient. More nozzle amenities would be nice but not necessary.
Engine runs smooth and pumps steady."

Gas power washer,

By BLFTUNA
from North East, MD
"I purchased this washer a few years ago and have been very satisfied with it's quality and durability. I frequently use it to clean my driveway that is 150' x 10', my house siding, decks, boat, mower's, trucks underside, and my son has used it to remove flaking paint from his homes foundation.
I added the hi-pressure soap fitting, and an additional 150' of hose for even more ease in using."

"I love the washer and would recommend it to anyone. I wash all my vehicles and use it for numerous cleaning jobs. It sure beats all the scrapping and digging you have to do to clean off mud , grease, and just dirty build ups.Even use it for taking off old paint and cleaning debris from mower casing."
