Although the provided PSI represents the maximum achievable value, it's typically only reached at initial discharge. Under normal operating conditions, the unit has a rated pressure of 1450 PSI. With these values combined, the Portland 63254 boasts a cleaning power of 1885 Cleaning Units.
The 63254 initiates operation effortlessly with a straightforward ON/OFF switch. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.

With its lightweight construction, tipping the scales at only 19 lbs, this unit is a portable powerhouse for all your cleaning needs. Its lightweight construction is partially attributed to its plastic frame. In addition to its lightweight build, the inclusion of two 4" never-flat wheels ensures easy mobility and handling.

User Reviews
used once – it died days after the warranty was up – get what you pay for. Cheap piece of garbage
It works ok but why can’t I find nozzles to fit my gun? Now the unit is useless!!!
I like my power washer. You can turn the nozzle to get more power. I was washing dome moss off the tar by garage and nozzle must of blow off can not find it. I’ve looked had a friend come look. No luck hoping Harbor Freight can help me with a new part
Sadly I bought it new very excited power sprayed the deck had to keep it real close inch by inch took forever it did the job that’s the only time I used it put it away for the winter pull it out to just rinse off a window it didn’t have hardly any power for being brand new used once it was worse than a garden hose you had to have it right up against something otherwise it was just a week low pressure stream or mist. I’m going to try an old ring kit tonight but I feel that using something once it should still be new.
