I got the 110v version and love it! It’s a 20 amp so it’s a little limited to where I can use it but I’ve been able to use a surface cleaner at 300 ft with 3/8 hose pulling from a tank with no problem. Really like your videos! Thanks!
Suttner fow switch st-7 .3gpm is what you need to add to your old one cost $60. Works great , only thing is you have to have a contactor wich your old one does. Ive added to 6 different pressure washers and flow switch with no problems.
Do you have pics of your set up?
No matter how much I watch this video, I still have a hard time pulling the trigger on purchasing this!
I felt the same for about 5 years and glad I finally did. I use my rig every single day and love it.
Just ordered mine online and came in today. My new black on demand has Lesson motor !!!!
awesome you got lucky on the Lesson motor. i think there is just so many supply issues still we are seeing this daily in our manufacturing business. Did you also get the reel set up like mine? once your up and running let us know how you like it.
@@autofanaticcars Yes got the reel and 100ft hose. Unit was tipped on side, so out of oil. Missing handle bolts and wheels were completely locked up tight. No big deal, but still working to get it going. Thanks for all the info.
@@autofanaticcars Other thing to note is that the pump and motor are now reversed on the stand... i.e. connections back toward the handles.
Nice video Phil. The best part about that new setup is that’s it’s all serviceable. U can get parts easy. I know that Kranzel machine is pretty cool but if shit breaks. Where r u gonna get parts? Also I work in the HVAC field and I can tell you that Lesson motors are the best. If u have ur heart set on a 5 HP Lesson and don’t mind spending more money. An HVAC wholesaler can get u that motor. Hope u have a great 2021.
thanks i wonder how long this WEG motor will last so far i notice no difference and was upset when i realized the Lesson did not come on my unit
Are you on the witness protection program? You never show your face. Great video by the way!!
Content of character is sufficient
Do you notice a difference on your electric bill? It seems like its too many start/stops on a 220v circuit. Give me your thoughts please. Thank you
Looks good! Thanks for the review. It does sound like there’s a delay between trigger activation to motor activation.
Yes it does have a slight delay with my erratic water feed pressure since they are doing major construction on the block the pressure at my water outlet gets erratic certain times of the day.
@@autofanaticcars even with the slight delay, it’s still quieter than a gas pressure washer which I think is much better
Thanks, great video. This looks like a winning combination of all other electric pressure washers.
these North Star washers are amazing I can not kill them and use them daily for years best investment i ever made forget all those other units that are useless around the house get one of these set ups and ditch the gas. I have a 100ft 230v extension and i can do anything i desire
WEG makes excellent motors.
It may be a dumb question, but what does the other (red) machine do when you let the trigger go? Does is pose a danger to not stop and start? I loved the video though, big thumbs up 👍
it just keeps running but i sold the red machine and only use the on demand black one now, great machines
Thanks for the demo, sadly I do not have 220-volts in garage and cannot justify that now. But wait for next remodel, I will buy the newer model.
check my links in the video they also make a 120V version
@@autofanaticcars 😊 that is better but the loss of that 5HP motor drops the flow to 1.5 GPM. I would hope it is accurate as many others overstate their flow rates but much cheaper units. One day when my SunJoe dies perhaps.
i tested the non on demand 120v unit and really loved it for detailing its absolutely perfect and very quiet and smooth but not enough grunt to do pavers, bricks etc around the house
@@autofanaticcars this was what i was looking for im gunna try out rhat 120v in my mobile unit. These look more professional
Another good one Phil, mite have to get this one .
There is a delay when you first pull the trigger?
What is the noise level?
The pressure washer is loud when trigger is pulled.
I’m new to detailing and go a small electric PW at 1900 PSI. I accidentally used a 15 degree nozzle for some of my truck and then the largest nozzle up was a 25 degree. I wasn’t right up on my truck. I was probably a foot to a foot and a half off.
I started reading forums and it got scary when people started talking about damaging clear coat. Do you think I damaged any clear coat by spraying it too hard?
Dreaming to move out of my condo to own one of these.
Gas motors are also a pain, you need to run them from time to time so the gas doesn't gum up.
these 230V machines blow away gas pressure washers due to the efficiency and versatility of power you cant kill them
Got a question for you sir. I use your wheel cleaner (my absolute favorite). Have you tried to use it in a foam cannon (not pump sprayer)? If so did it work and what dilution ratio is best in that situation?
watch my videos i always show the wheel cleaner in the foam cannon in many videos like this one here, it depends how you want to work it for quick washes thats my method for my through washes i use the foamer.
@@autofanaticcars yeah, I just watched one from about a year ago but it didn’t mention dilution ratio for the cannon. I’ll keep looking
@@autofanaticcars found it! Thanks
the bottles and our website explain the dilutions, do not use any pre diluted in a foam cannon, fill the cannon with water then pour few ounces of the concentrate, shake and shoot
Is the outlet fiting universal to work with any/most aftermarket hose extensions?
So much power in pressure, thought the paint would wash off of it! Is there a max PSI that should not be exceeded when washing your car?
this wash was done between 1500-2200 psi the trick is using common sense with the nozzles and technique some people aim the zero degree jets at bumpers and watch the paint fly off. with a 40 degree tip and keeping nice distance and fast sweeping motion you wont ever have an issue
@@autofanaticcars Well said! Common sense is very important. I've seen people who have blown right through sunroof seals with 2000 psi
Since gpm is king when it comes to foam thickness, I’d love to see this being used with a soap made for thickness such as adam’s mega foam, you’d probably get in trouble for weather manipulation!
What spotless. Machine you think for mobile detailing
i want this. thank you.
I'm sure you've sold it by now. However, you should have swapped the motor and frame for the one you liked before getting rid of it.
its ok im find with it now. NorthStar actually changed the cart design now totally different on the new ones they sell
How do you take care of your undercarriage? I used the pressure washer water broom but I feel like it doesn't do a good job. Can you please make a video on that? Thank you.
Look into the trikleener, it’s a water broom with changeable nozzles
I’m guessing that you used the 1.25mm orifice? I saw a video of a person using the 1.1mm with a comet, the foam cannon was dribbling!
What's the noise level compared to other electric pressure washers you have?
its really not bad at all you can hear it in the video plus the new one has auto on off feature
If I were you, I would mix and match the parts between the two machines to build the one you want and then give the other one away or sell it.
i sold the red one to my friend who took it off the cart and mounted it on his wall at his shop i was considering taking the red cart and swapping things over
So is there a cheaper gas pressure washer you would recommend with the same or close to the same performance?
That's what I'm trying to figure out, I really want to start alittle mobile detailing setup I just need a solid pressure washer
The most basic gas powered machines will be equivalent to this electric one. For a third of the cost.
Is there a hesitation or a delay after pulling the trigger before the pump kicks on and you are getting pressure? I appeared that way in the video.
my water feed drops when our sprinkler zones turn on its really nothing to worry about but if water pressure drops you get more delay
With the pf22, you use the 1.25mm orifice right?
What did you use to attach hose reel to pressure washer? I love this setup!
it comes with stainless bolts and nuts to attach you just need to drill 4 1/2 holes
@@autofanaticcars -OK. I already have a reel. Have had it for years just never installed anywhere. Will check to see what all came with it. Thanks!
The delay? You sure it is to do with your water pressure and not the machine? Btw you can get a dirt lance with a kranzle, does a decent job although admittedly not as good as higher psi machines
yes if there is no water being used in my house for laundry or thr sprinkler system and the construction crews arent messing with the pipes on the block the delay is pretty much gone its from the on demand pressure switch seeing a drop in pressure from my water supply
No 30 Sec delay after trigger off?
The motor run about 1800rpm or about 3600rpm?
Where did you buy the short hose to go from the pressure washer to the hose reel?
it comes with the reel already attached
So with the on-demand you either get red or black? Hopefully I get the red one when I order in the near future
the red frame is the "old" model and it does'nt come with on demand
Nice. Hot water?
I saw a dewalt dxpw2500e at Home Depot, it’s a lbit more expensive than this, not sure if it’d be worth trying, I wish I could rent it to try, it’s specs are:2500psi 3.5gpm
I tried that Dewalt unit I was not impressed at all. Pick up the Northstar its freaking amazing I used mine almost every single day
@@autofanaticcars what was disappointing about it vs the North Star?
How do you plug it in ?
What is quieter? The Kranzle or NorthStar? Is there much difference in terms of noise? Thanks in advance.
Hi the Kranzle is a quieter machine but really considered a light duty machine where as the NortStar is a professional industrial grade machine used by many commercial factories. I personally love the NorthStar as i express in my videos because I can safely clean the cars but also everything around the property of the house from pavers, blacktop, cement, brick etc this is where the Kranzle just does not have enough PSI and GPM to be good enough for prolong tasks.
@@autofanaticcars thanks for the response. I only have a Karcher cube and it is very loud. Hence, I want something that is not embarrassing to the neighbors when I am washing. Is the NorthStar significantly louder or not that much?
the Karchers are quite loud but the Northstar is not bad at all plus they now offer On Demand so it is not running all the time only when you press the trigger which is great. I keep my Northstar in my Garage and have a 100ft hose its perfect.
Your link in the description, leads to amazon!
yes Amazon does sell them sometimes cheaper thats why
@@autofanaticcars good to know, my worry: is it reliable to order such a product off of Amazon?
yes the units still get drop shipped from the manufacture, full warranty etc
How do u lower the psi, or does it comes with a psi regulator build in?
there is a brass HEX knob on the pump you twist in both directions to regulate PSI it is super easy
@@autofanaticcars oh i see, i always changed the nozzle with different orifice to get wanted results, thanks for the tips!
Getting famous off of comments day 220, so I can live the dream, live every day like it’s your last!🤙🚀🤙
I have the old red version and retrofitted the flow switch instead of buying a new machine. My pressure washer now has auto-start-stop. imgur.com/a/QuZDRSk
thanks for posting i wish i did that and saved the money where did you buy the parts and how much did it cost? Northern Tool would not sell me the parts when I asked
@@autofanaticcars I've got about $130 into it. The only hard part to get is the flow switch. I got it from Kleen-rite: www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-9582-tmt-flow-switch-with-pilot-feature.aspx Northern wanted double the money for it, but this is the same part number I found on the display pressure washer at my local Northern Tool.
They take about two days to ship. The rest of the pieces can be found pretty easily. I got the 3/8" NPT male x 3/8" quick connect from a local pressure washer store, the 1/4" npt male x 1/4" barb from Northern, the 1/4" hose and clamps from Lowe's, and the cord grip kit from a local electrical supply house. The cord diameter is .312", but the kit I call out in the pictures comes with a bunch of different grommets. I also got a sealing locknut for the cord grip from the electrical supply house. Placing the hole on the electrical cover for the grip is tricky because the contactor takes up most of the space in there, but there is room on the front of the cover where I drilled.
I don't really recommend anyone that isn't an electrician to attempt this. I was careful to wire it exactly as the new model is wired, so that the flow switch makes and breaks the current flow to the coil on the contactor. If one were to try to switch the motor load directly, smoke would surely rise from the $90 flow switch.
Could this be run off of a 3500 watt generator in a mobile detailing set up?
you would need to contact Northern Tool tech team to ask but if your generator can produce 230V and you can adapt a NEMA 60 style plug you for sure can use this for your mobile detail rig. this set up is incredible and with the higher GPM and PSI your rinse downs and other work is 50% faster which = more profits
What's with the delay between pulling the trigger and the pump kicking on? I was looking at the Comet 1700 and it dosn't seem to have that kind of a delay, or am I wrong?
my water feed is sporadic with construction they are doing in the area if the water feed is not constant you get a delay which is normal to protect the internals from running dry. the Comet is great to wash cars but nowhere near the power of the Northstar for heavy duty work around the home and shop
@@autofanaticcars Appreciate the feedback. I've been going back and forth and absolutely want something that will do both jobs. I think this is one of those, "Suck it up buttercup." moments. Cheers, and Happy New Year!
Chris buy one of these its really like comparing a Shelby GT350R to a BMW 3 series lol but seriously this machine can be tame to wash cars and tear graffiti off brick with the twist of the knob. check out my other video on the red machine i did a while back without the on demand i show more demonstrations around the house
Have you actually tested the GPM? As we know the info on the box is rarely accurate.
i did a basic test with a bucket on the red machine way back not super accurate but was around 2.2-2.4 pretty consistently
You're going to knock the paint off your rims with that turbo nozzle overtime
But we only get 110v in the US; any converting step to get the double voltage to use these awesome machines?
they name these with 110V as well as 230v visit the Northern Tool website
Hi on the new pressure washer can I mount a reel to it? Its a little different the frame to the red frame
not sure they have now changed the frame design and its kinda awkward as it leans back no idea why they did this
I'm waiting on my to arrive I get the electric 120v 2000psi and I think I will love wash my cars with that machine
you should love that machine its so well built with good components. let me know once you get it all set up how you like it
Yeah man thanks for reply to the messages, I let you know once I try it out
Hey man how you doing, I got my pressure washer and I like it just one thing I don't know why It has a delay of 2or3 seconds when I squeeze the trigger, you know why is that
What’s the intro/outro music?
What nozzle size did you get for the turbo nozzle?
I use a 3.0 and 4.0
@@autofanaticcars which one would be optimal to use for cleaning concrete?
Watched this with subtitles, the subtitles make this pressure washer seem really cheap, I know you mean $1299, subtitle says $12.99!
For a cleaning service it is better to have gasoline engines because all customers won't have that plug.
yes but i do not have a commercial cleaning biz ha ha but many commercial shops and manufacture facilities use these 230V electric indoors which makes sense. I love mine for around the house and to detail the cars. I also have the 230V plugs in my garage for my welders and fabrication equipment so it was easy to adapt to this system
Will this work with hot water?
im sure it would
Did you use the 1.25mm orifice in the pf22?
What size orifice with the 40 degree tip?
i think its a 3 but not sure
Mine came with 3.0 NTE tips.
They are all currently unavailable on Amazon!
i bet they all sold off this video being posted
@@autofanaticcars Probably!

No te aburres? No tienes oficio
Love your Pressure Washing Vids but I just don't see how you are Happy with this Machine... Too much Money for it to be Starting like that...
i use my machine almost every day i love it, the delay on start up in this video was due to intermittent pressure drops from the water feed due to construction work in the area with the flow fluctuating back and forth for months its all good now since the line work was finished. the flow sensor on the machine needs full flow to activate the motor and any drop causes a delay for it to build up
Cheaper components and costs more money. That's typical!
yeah it totally bummed me out as well but so far the machines been great
You still selling the Red One? You’re probably nowhere near me.
it was sold to a friend
Selling the Kranzle? 😳🤣
the kranzle is long gone after i posted the video on the red unit shown here. sold in 20 min
@@autofanaticcars Lol, figured! 🤣
You need 5 horsepower to wash a car? I think you are doing it wrong
i guess you didn't bother to watch and listen the video before you made a comment. i use this to not just wash cars but my entire 200ft driveway, brick, cement, pavers and more FYI it has an adjustable regulator
Discontinued
Fr?
way to get around the gas pressure washer ban neighborhood rules.
exactly and never run out of gas i honestly got tired of putting my VP racing 5 gallon fuel jug on my passenger seat when I had gas washers the smell lingers and is not safe.
@@autofanaticcars how many days (months?) can be inside of the tank with race gas?
