NorthStar 1571343 - 4000 PSI 3.5 GPM 420cc Gas Pressure Washer

Power

Fueled by an impressive fuel-injected 420cc engine, its triplex pump can generate a forceful pressure of 4000 PSI (roughly 67 times that of a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 3.5 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 14000 Cleaning Units.

To initiate the NorthStar e420 engine of this gas-powered pressure washer, a traditional pull-start mechanism is employed.

Design & Handling

The NorthStar 1571343's wheelbarrow-style design enhances both mobility and stability, enabling seamless navigation and consistent performance, even on rugged terrain. The steel tubing frame's robustness ensures the assembly's longevity, maintaining stability and protecting internal components, even in the harshest environments. The reversible handle offers further versatility, as its different positions make the unit less bulky when stored.

At 249 lbs, we can't really say that the unit is lightweight, and manually lifting or transporting it could be a significant challenge for users, especially if they need to move it frequently or navigate over uneven terrain. The major reasons for its heavy weight are its 420cc NorthStar e420 engine, the triplex pump and steel tubing frame. However, the incorporation of two 15" never-flat wheels makes navigating the 1571343 less cumbersome, even on uneven terrain.

Main Features

Along with the NorthStar 1571343 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.

• Soap injection: While the device doesn't feature a soap tank, detergent supply is ensured by a siphon hose. The NorthStar 1571343 includes an automatic soap dilution mechanism, which will dilute the detergent using a 15:1 ratio. The detergent is automatically mixed with the water flow by the pressure washer when a soap nozzle is connected.
• Pressure hose: For easy organization, the included 50 ft ⌀3/8" high-pressure hose can be stored on the unit using a set of convenient hooks when it's not in use, ensuring a clutter-free workspace.
• Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
• Nozzles: The table below shows you the 4 included nozzles and the surfaces they're the most appropriate for.

Please be aware: The shapes of the depicted nozzles are for illustration purposes and may differ. Symbols utilized include a red cross indicating 'Not recommended,' a green check for 'Suitable,' and an orange check for 'Use with caution.'
