Description
Zoom on the Portland 63254

The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics and design, its main features and all the additional features it has to offer.
Power
The Portland 63254
Powered by a 13 amp universal motor, its axial pump can deliver a pressure of 1750 PSI (around 29 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.3 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). Combined, these values mean that the Portland 63254 has a cleaning power of 2275 Cleaning Units.
The 63254 is an electric pressure washer and thus, can be easily started by an ON/OFF switch. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
With its portable design and approximate dimensions of D10 x W10.5 x H31 in, the Portland 63254 makes mobility one of its core strengths. The handle adds to the 63254 convenience of transport.
With a weight of only 19 lbs, the unit is very easy to carry around. This is, in part, thanks to its plastic frame, which allows it to remain as lightweight as possible. As if this lightweight wasn't enough, the device also features two 4" never-flat wheels to further improve its ease of use and of transport.

The Portland 63254's performance versus other pressure washers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the Portland 63254 compare to similarly priced pressure washers.
- With its 1750 PSI max pressure output, the Portland 63254 is in the expected pressure range, for electric units in the $80-110 price range. If your priority is the highest possible power of the water stream, in this price range, we suggest checking out the WEN PW22, which reaches up to 2100 PSI.
- The achievable water flow of this washer, which reaches 1.3 GPM (gallons per minute) can be described as low, compared to other devices in its price range. If maximum rinsing efficiency is your top priority, one of the devices with the highest water flow in the same price range is the Sun Joe SPX2688-MAX, with a GPM of 1.8.
- The 63254 ranks as below average in terms of Cleaning Units, compared to electric devices in its price range, reaching only a value of 2275 CU (PSI x GPM). In case you are looking for the highest overall cleaning power, in this price range, one of the current champions is the Sun Joe SPX2688-MAX and its 3690 Cleaning Units.
Price comparison
As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other electric washers between 2000 and 2500 Cleaning Units, the Portland 63254 is on the cheap side of the price range.
It can therefore be a really good buy if you're looking to acquire a budget pressure washer.

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.
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
