Power
The Portland 63254

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, resulting in the Portland 63254's cleaning power of 1885 Cleaning Units.
The 63254 easily starts up with the press of an ON/OFF switch, providing seamless operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.

With its portable design and approximate dimensions of D10 x W10.5 x H31 in, the Portland 63254 priotirizes mobility one of its key features. The handle adds to the 63254 convenience of transport.
Weighing in at a mere 19 lbs, this unit is designed for effortless portability and convenience. Its lightweight construction is partially attributed to its plastic frame. Enhancing its already lightweight design, the unit boasts two 4" never-flat wheels, making transportation effortless.

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.
