Powerful!,
March 16, 2009
By Hingleworks
from New Orleans, LA
"This pressure washer is a great product! I needed something portable for use at customer's homes and it is light enough to put easily in the back of my truck. It also has a great amount of power at 3000 psi. I looked all over online and in stores and could not find a Honda 3000 psi anywhere close to the price."

NorthStar Pressure Washer Worth Every Penny!,
November 3, 2009
By cbdmopar
"This is a fantastic piece of equipment! This pressure washer has power that rivals machines costing hundreds more. The Honda engine starts on the first pull every time. It's so convenient and easy to operate that it's suitable for even the smallest job. The only regret I have is not buying one sooner!"

"Unit has great power even with a 18 FT wand great value
Only problem after first use the pump started to leak oil.
Northern was Extreamly helpful they replaced the pump in less than 30 min.
No questions asked . If you want a powerful pressure washer and not break the bank this is the unit for you.

Great Product,
November 2, 2009
By ss454ElCamino
from Texas
"Since buying this pressure washer a couple of months ago I have found more uses for it than I originally thought. It has plenty of power for around the house cleanup. Cleaning the driveway and patio is a snap. It always starts on the first or second pull.
I have one piece of advice when using this for the first time - hold on to the wand with both hands before squeezing the trigger. I replaced my electric pressure washer with this one and couldn't be happier.
Product exceeded my expectations in performance and quality.

Very Nice Pressure Washer,
July 23, 2009
By MadDogDave
from Topeka, Kansas
"I highly recommend this pressure washer. This is my first and anticipate my last pressure washer for it's great. It does everything i need it to do. I recommend purchasing a full set of nozzles and some monster wash which is sold in several varieties. I have a front walk where the roof has drained water on it for a very long time. The cement was black with that tar look from the shingles. When i hit that with the washer it took that black off in an instant. The walk looks like new again. Washing the house, cars, windows on the house, garage floor you name it, there is little need for a more expensive power washer. This washer has a pressure adjustment that i've not seen on most washers. The engine started on the second pull right out of the box. I've not had any trouble what so ever. Highly recommend this washer."

NorthStar Pressure Washer,

By LocoBuckeye
from Cleveland, OH
"Though a recent acquisition, this machine has made quite an impression on me: good quality construction, Honda engine (no more need be said) far superior IMHO to Briggs & Stratton I had, all the power I need. There are other positive qualities I've not discovered, but am sure they are there.
Northern's staff is helpful, patient and informative. All in all, a fine experience. Am sure we'll do business again."

pressure washer performance,
July 20, 2009
By michael49june21
from United States
"i purchased a pressure washer about 3 months ago. the salesman was very thourough in exlplaining the maintenance and use of this product. he also, explanined the warranty and stated that he would definitely stand behind it and also, honor what he said. also, in question of hand tools, i asked him about the quality of the northern brand. again, he quoted that the hand tools had a lifetime warranty, and in a 4 year period, only 1 time did he remember having to replace one. this really impressed me. i have used my pressure washer frequently, and i also, have used my hand tools on the job. in both situations, both products have stood the test. i am very pleased with my purchases of your product, & would recommend them to anyone. unfortunately, i do not have a photo."

Northstar Pressure Washer,
July 20, 2009
By JuJu1
from Rock Hill, SC
"My husband decided we need a pressure washer to use around the
house for certain jobs, so after going to several stores and researching
online, we finally decided to buy a NorthStar 3000 PSI with a Honda en-
gine. There were very many features he liked about this particlular one.
I will be learning to use it also. The one thing I liked is that it does not
have all the plastic parts that hold the hose, etc. It is easy to handle and
does a good job at cleaning. I think we will be happy we chose this one
over the many, many others that we researched and looked at. This was
a great deal for the money also.

This pressure washer rocks!,
November 19, 2008
By JJPerra
from Santa Barbara County CA
"I have had my NorthStar 3000psi pressure washer for a couple of months now. I am in love with this machine. It starts with one pull everytime and while it is a small gas engine and therefore makes noise...it is considerably less noise than other models I have had. It has plenty of cleaning power and the well balanced cart/component set-up is much easier to move around especially when hooked to a water source. Thumbs up to North Star on this product!!!!"

"While this is not one of our best washers, for the price it is a very versitle LOW water volumn washer. We use ours on an almost daily basis for equipment washing and it has proven to hold up well under this use so far (about 9 months)."
