NorthStar 1571103 - 3000 PSI 2.5 GPM Electric Pressure Washer

Power

The NorthStar 1571103

Its triplex pump, which utilizes a 30-amp motor, may deliver a pressure of up to 3000 PSI (almost 50 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM. Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 7500 Cleaning Units.

The 1571103, an electric washer, gets going swiftly with a simple ON/OFF switch, making startup hassle-free. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 36 ft GFCI cord.

It should be noted that the unit requires a dedicated 240V electrical circuit to operate. The included cord has a NEMA 6-30P plug, which should be plugged into a 6-30R receptacle.

Design & Handling

The NorthStar 1571103's wheelbarrow-style design enhances both mobility and stability, enabling seamless navigation and consistent performance, even on rugged terrain. The durable steel frame of the assembly ensures its longevity, providing stability and shielding internal components from damage, even in tough conditions. The reversible handle offers further versatility, as its different positions make the unit less bulky when stored.

With its hefty 130 lbs, this unit isn't exactly easy to handle, making manual lifting and transport quite a daunting task, especially on uneven terrain. A key role in its final weight is played by its motor, the triplex pump and steel frame. Nonetheless, the addition of two 10" never-flat wheels simplifies maneuvering the 1571103, even across rough ground.

Main Features

The NorthStar 1571103's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.

• Soap injection: Despite the absence of a soap tank, detergent supply is facilitated through the use of a siphon hose. Attachment of a soap nozzle prompts the pressure washer to automatically introduce and blend the detergent with the water.
• Pressure hose: The included 25 ft high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when not in use, utilizing a set of convenient hooks for convenient organization.
• Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
• Nozzles: In the table below, you can see the 4 included nozzles alongside their respective recommended surface uses.

Kindly note: The shapes of the nozzles depicted above are for illustrative purposes and may vary. Symbols indicate suitability, with a red cross signifying 'Not recommended,' a green check for 'Suitable,' and an orange check for 'Use with caution.'
