- Honda GC190 OHC engine
- Adjustable pressure
- Great owner feedback
- Good price for a 3,000-psi washer
- Axial cam pump
- Two-year warranty
The NorthStar 1577544 is rated at 3,000 psi, with a 2.5 gpm flow rate. Its major draw is a Honda overhead cam engine, which gives it plenty of power and durability. Adjustable pressure is another desirable feature. It has an axial cam pump rather than a more dependable triplex pump, however. Still, owners seem to love it; they give it overwhelmingly positive feedback. If you'd rather spend a little less and don't need quite this much power, the 2,600-psi Troy-Bilt 20415 (*Est. $340) gets good reviews.
We found owner ratings and reviews of the NorthStar 1577544 at NorthernTool.com, the only online retailer that sells NorthStar products. Yesterday's Tractor Company compares the NorthStar with two other pressure washers in terms of how well they clean tractors.
