Any comments on this unit, specs look good, in stock ready to ship and price is right. I have no experience with this brand, want to make sure they are not Harbour Freight quality.

Any input is appreciated.

Years ago on another forum, this brand got more than one recommendation.

We don't have that exact model but we do have the northstar electric 2000 psi unit going on 4 years without a hiccup.

Same situation as Doug S. Great pressure washers. Just wish we got one that wasn't continuous run.

We have a northern tool pressure washer that has been in use about 3 years. Haven’t had any problems. If you do ever have any issues, they sell all the replacement parts as well.

I agree I love the on off option, seems like continuous running will kill one faster, but that on off really don't help either as I've had the that go out on my old one, still worked but continuously ran.

The nameplate brand isn't nearly as important as the pump and motor.
I see Cat and that it's belt driven and that's about as good as it gets.
We've had a direct drive Cat for probably 6-7 years now, I just replaced the pump
this year and will rebuild the old for a spare. Keep them oiled and watered and they're
pretty much bullet proof.
Make sure that wherever you mount it you can access it for A: Hose Leaks (guaranteed at
some point) and B: yearly oil changes.
The pressure sensing on/off switches aren't great for pump life. Put an air foot
switch in line, keep electricity away from water.
