Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

 I'm looking to buy a pressure washer for use  around the house. I  have an electric Karcher 1750 psi which works well until I used a gas powered one which was loaned to me. What a difference . Got to get me one. It was an EX-CELL 2630 which is 2600 psi and has a HONDA  GX160 motor. Great machine. Looking around, anything compared to  it is more then I want to spend. I found one at Northern Tool  which is their brand  a   Powerhorse Gas-Powered Pressure Washer — 2.5 GPM, 3000 PSI, 208cc, $299.00 less a $50.00 coupon which I have. From a picture of the valve cover by one of the reviewers it looks to be the LCT brand. Looks very much like a honda. It also has great reviews.

Was wondering if anyone knows more about this. Thanks in advance all your help.

I have a similar unit with a 208cc Mitsubishi engine on it. I think it's rated at 2800 psi. I've had it for five years or so and it's been great. Pretty sure the Mits engine on my washer is made in China. I wouldn't be too worried about the LCT engine. The quality of small Chinese built OPE engines has improved immensely in the last few years. For the money, the Northern Tools unit sounds like a good deal.
