Best Electric Pressure Washer from Powerhouse International

September 14, 2015 By PressureWasherReview 1 Comment

Powerhouse International is a relatively new brand in the pressure washer market. They are a small family owned business from Lincoln, Nebraska. They only sell electric pressure washers that they have found and tested to he of the highest quality and you can see by their Amazon reviews. Currently They average 4.999 out of 5 stars.

Right now they have just 2 electric pressure washers. They offer The Force 2000 and The Force 1800. On this page I am going to review both models and share some videos of both of them so that you can compare on contrast them so you know you are getting the best electric pressure washer available today.

Video overview and side by side shots of the Powerhouse International electric pressure washers:

This is a YouTube video where you can see the sizes of each pressure washer side by side so that you see some of the neat features that they offer. Right off the bat you will notice some major differences.

The Force 1800 is a lot smaller, has more attachments, and has larger wheels and a lower center of gravity so that you can pull the unit. Hence they call it a “follow me” pressure washer.

On the other hand, The Force 2000 is a larger unit that also includes my favorite accessory, a surface cleaner.

Both electric pressure washers output 1.6 gallons per minute, but The Force 2000 is much more powerful in that it produces a PSI force of 2000 versus The Force 1800 that only produces 1800 PSI. When I say only 1800, that is not a bad thing. It is still very powerful for an electric pressure washer and in my opinion is the perfect power washer for cleaning your car.

Now what sets Powerhouse International apart from their competitors is the fact that they offer an IPB. IPB stands for Initial Power Boost. The Force 1800 has an IPB of 2600 PSI and The Force 2000 has an IPB of 3000 PSI. 3000 PSI is higher than some gas models offer. This is amazing!! If you have a tough stain you are trying to get out where you need a lot of power, you could essentially just feather the trigger and blast it clean.

The Force 1800 Review:

This pressure washer has to be on my list of best electric pressure washers now. I need to update that list and I am sure this will be my new #1. When I first got the box delivered to my door I was amazed at how small the box was. I was thinking that I must have to build this by hand. Is this made by Ikea? To my surprise is was almost completely built right out of the box. Just had to attach the wheels basically.

This truly is a compact pressure washer that features a ton of power in a small enclosure.

My favorite part of The Force 1800 electric pressure washer is that it has a lower center of gravity and 2 wheels so that you can drag it around with out having to worry about it falling over when you yank on it. This is excellent for when you are washing you car and you need to go around back. I know others will say that you could just purchase a larger hose that attaches to the gun. This one comes with a 20′ quick connect hose and that usually is more than enough for most tasks.

Being that it is electric means you do not have to worry about a lot of maintenance and have to pay for gas. Pouring gas can get difficult and causes a mess with some of these new gas cans that are on the market. They say that they are no spill, but they seem to spill way more than the old style.

Anyways, being that it has 1800 PSI and an IPB of 2600 PSI, I have found that it offers more than enough power to clean just about anything around the house except for tough stains on concrete. Even my 3000 PSI gas pressure washer has a difficult time on the concrete though too, so for that we will leave that to a larger commercial grade pressure washer. Cleaning the concrete driveway with a pressure washer is a task that I do only once every 2 years or so.

The Force 1800 comes with a handful of attachments (more than the Force 2000). You get:

a turbo nozzle that does a great job when you need to concentrate on a small spot.
an adjustable nozzle that lets you adjust it on the fly from a large fan spray to a pencil point tip.
a soap canon. These are great for cleaning the car. Just add your soap and you can foam your car to get that gas station car wash feel.
a brush which I like to use to scrub the floor and patio.
a 90 degree angle tip that is perfect for reaching up to clean the inside of the gutters. You could also use this to clean underneath you car as well.

What I like:

competitive price
doesn’t tip over when you pull on it
doesn’t leak. Also comes with a wrench to quickly and easily attach/detach your garden hose.
small and compact for easy storage
enough power to get almost everything done around the house
lots of great accessories/attachments included already and they easily attach to the unit for storage
hose is not super stiff like other I have used.

What I do not like:

no clear way to store the gun and hose. I just wrap it up and set it on top. Seems to work for now. I do like how all of the attachments easily attach directly to the unit.

Overall this unit is well worth the money. Not only is it priced well but offers all the features you expect out of an electric pressure washer. I just wish it was easier to attach the hose. Maybe they could tweak the design of the top handle so that it is more like how vacuums manage cables. you could wrap it around that.

Washing the car using The Force 1800 Electric Pressure washer and mini review

I will have some action videos up shortly. Check back soon.

The Force 2000 Review:

If you have read my review on The Force 1800, then you will find this one very similar.

The Force 2000 is one of the best electric pressure washers on the market right now. There are however a few downfalls, but that is made up by some major advantages over the competition.

This pressure washer looks very similar to the competition in terms of design. You have a standard stand up unit with a hose real on top. Being how it is designed, when you yank on it to try and move it it can quickly fall over and you have to go pick it up. This is why Powerhouse International’s other pressure washer is such as better design.

When it comes to power this is the best electric pressure washer in terms of power due to its impressive 3000 PSI Initial Power Boost. No other pressure washer that I know of has an IPB. We are talking 3000 PSI. This is getting into the range of gas power. This unit has more than enough power to clean everything around your home and includes a ton of accessories to help you do it.

Those attachments include:

A FREE surface cleaner. This is on my list of best pressure washer accessories. Using a surface cleaner gets the job done so much faster and more efficient.
A variable fan nozzle that lets you adjust how wide the spray is on the fly
A Turbo nozzle that is perfect for concentrating on a certain spot. It spins to help make cleaning more powerful and faster.
A foam canon. These are great for pressure washing the car. I put in my car wash soap and it soaps down my car for me. Then I just take it off and rinse the car with the variable fan nozzle. This makes washing your car a breeze.

Things I like about the Force 2000:

Lots of power. The 3000 PSI Initial Power Boost is something that the competition just does not offer
Super high quality parts at an affordable price
Includes a surface cleaner and other great attachments
All attachments are able to be stored on the unit including the gun and the top hose real is a nice touch too
TSS – Total Stop System. The unit shuts off when not in use so it is not super noisy like a gas unit can be.
Customer service. Nichole the CEO of Powerhouse International says that customer service is her number 1 concern and will go out of her way to make sure everything is perfect for you.
I received a custom note written on the box with Nichole’s personal cell phone number and email. Great to see companies that care!

Things I do not like:

building the surface cleaner was sorta tricky. The screws were not lining up correctly. It would be nice if there was some sort of groove and tough that helped to line them up. Anyways not a huge deal but it did take some extra time to get it fully assembled.
Does not come with some of the other attachments that The Force 1800 has like the brush and the 90 degree nozzle. There are extra spots for the attachments on the pressure washer itself. Also I am not sure if you can purchase those other attachments or not. I guess I would contact Nichole and I am sure she can work something out.

Overall I highly recommend this pressure washer for anyone who is looking for an electric unit with enough power to do just about anything around the house. You will get a great product that has a 1 year warranty and excellent customer service should anything be wrong. I know some people have received damaged or even cracked units and The company will replace it instantly for you. It also feels great buying from a family owned business versus large greedy corporations.

When searching for the best small handheld electric pressure washer There are 5 choices you should really consider. I have taken the time to put together my research in this mini guide so that you can find the power washer that suits you the best. The models below are rated at 1500 PSI up to 1800 PSI and are all around the $100 mark. These are low cost but high quality cleaners and if you take care of them should last at least a few years.

Some people like to buy a new electric pressure washer every year because they are hard on them and they just buy the cheapest one they can find. If you take the time to research what you are buying you can purchase a higher quality unit for the same price as something you plan on replacing every year.

Below is a comparison chart as well as pros and cons, and finally some mini reviews of the top rated small pressure washers.

Brand / Model #	PSI	GPM	Review	List Price

AR Blue Clean AR118	1500 PSI	1.5 GPM	Review	~~$99.99~~

Advantages and Disadvantages of the best small pressure washers:

super small pressure washers are an excellent choice for many reasons. Here is a list of some of the advantages of a handheld electric pressure washer:

They are small and portable – This allows you to bring them just about anywhere. You can keep them inside your boat or car for quick access at any time. They also store nicely in your garage because they do not take up a lot of space.
They are inexpensive – Most of these units are right around $100. This is a very small investment for a power little machine.
They are low maintenance – Unlike gas pressure washers you do not have to deal with maintaining an engine, adding oil, and gas. electric pressure washers are very easy to use and can get your cleaning job done quickly with less headaches.
They are quiet – Gas power washer are very noisy and you should be wearing ear protection when they are in use. On the other hand, these small electric pressure washers are super quiet and best of all the pumps shut off when not in use with the auto stop technology.
They are eco friendly – Small electric pressure washer do not produce any kind of harmful emissions like that of a gas engine. Some of them are even made out of recycled plastic.

There are some negatives to using a small power washer and depending on your needs you may need to move up into a gas powered unit. Some of the disadvantages of electric pressure washers include:

They do not produce enough PSI or GPM to deeply clean certain applications. Deep stains in cement are almost impossible to get out with an electric pressure washer. You will need much more in terms of PSI and GPM than an electric model can produce. For this reason you may have to upgrade to a gas powered pressure washer.
They have non replaceable parts. If the pump fails you cannot replace it without replacing the entire pressure washer. Gas models allow you to replace just about every part.
They are not fully portable. You still have to have a power source where you can plug in the power cord.

Small Electric Pressure Washer Reviews (2015)

Campbell Hausfeld PW135002AV Review: When it comes to cleaning with water, a garden hose just can’t handle the task. Using a pressure washer can get the job done 10x faster and this handheld unit can do just that. It is perfect for getting small jobs around the house done with little effort. Things like cleaning the driveway, patio, deck, fence, patio furniture, your lawn mower and your car can quickly be cleaned. Just plug the unit into an electrical outlet attach the hose and off you go. The PW135002AV 1500 PSI pressure washer is very lightweight weighing in at just 15 lbs and with is ultra compact design you can store in just about anywhere. You wont be able to clean large areas with this unit as it will most likely take you a ton of time, but for the small tasks this will make your life a lot easier than having to deal with a gas unit. It also has a convenient foot pump Continue Reading…

Sun Joe SPX1000 Review: Sun Joe makes the best selling electric pressure washer on the market today in the SPX 3000 and the new and improved SPX 3001. The SPX1000 is the little brother of the 2. It cost less money and has a little less power but overall is very similar in performance. The unique feature is the size and weight. This little guys weighs just 11.7 pounds and is perfect for the light duty jobs around the house. It is powerful enough to clean wood decks and concrete driveways but anything over 25 sq feet should be avoided as it will take you a very long time. If you have something larger you may want to invest in a more powerful unit. The unit is very slow and tedious so do not expect much if you plan on using it for larger jobs. This unit is surprisingly powerful and affordable however… Read More

THE FORCE 1800 Review: The Force 1800 electric pressure washer is a 5 star beast. Everyone who has used this absolutely loves it. It is super low profile and compact weighing in at just 17 lbs. It products on average 1600-1800 PSI but has an IPB (Initial Power Boost) of 2600 PSI. That puts it on par with a gas powered washer without having to purchase a gas unit. Power House International has done an excellent job with their pressure washers and the Force 2000 is on my list of best electric pressure washers as well. Since this unit is more horizontal than vertical it makes moving it a breeze. You can yank on the cord without having to worry that it will fall over. It will usually just slide with you. The Force 1800 power washer is very powerful, compact, and easy to use. It includes a handful of useful accessories and attachments. I would rate this as the #2 best small pressure washer.

GreenWorks GW1501 Review: If you are looking for a small pressure washer to clean your car this my be one of the best. Not only is it super small and compact, but it also includes a foam cannon which is the perfect accessory for cleaning you car. You can fill up the bottle with your favorite soap and blast your car with foam that deep cleans and breaks apart dirt. This model also works great for cleaning patios and other small surface areas. I love how quite it is and that it weighs only 12 pounds. GreenWorks is not a very well know brand, but is definitely someone you should take notice to. They offer a unheard of 4 year warranty. Most of the warranties you see on other pressure washers are 1 year. Anyone who backs up their product for that long trusts that they have built a quality product. Another major wow factor was that this pressure washer comes fully assembled right out of the box. You can literally start cleaning within minutes of opening the box. The only issue I have with this model is that it is top heavy and is prone to falling over.

AR Blue Clean AR118 Review: This has to be my #1. It is the smallest pressure washer around that produces 1500 PSI. It is so small and lightweight, and it fits just about anywhere. The number 1 reason why I like the handheld design is that my wife loves it! She will not touch a gas power washer for fear of damaging it or just not being able to start it. With the AR118 she can easily plug it in and attach the hose. A flip of the switch and she is cleaning the patio and washing down the furniture. Any tools or power equipment that my wife can use and enjoy is a perfect investment.

I have not researched what stores carry this pressure washer as I find it weird that Briggs & Stratton, who are known for their quality engines, decided to make an electric pressure washer.

Actually Amazon does have the

If you contact Amazon chat they may be able to price match the deal for you. It is worth a shot. It seems like an excellent pressure washer that is backed by a quality name brand. The electric motor can produce 1800 PSI with an unheard of 4.0 GPM for an electric pressure washer.

Review: THE FORCE 2000 – POWERHOUSE INTERNATIONAL – 1.6 GPM 2000 PSI (3000 PSI – “IPB”) Electric Pressure Washer with Spinning Patio Cleaner, Integrated Hose Reel with 20 Foot Hose, 2 Different Nozzles, Soap/Foam Dispenser and TSS Gun

June 25, 2015 By PressureWasherReview 1 Comment

THE FORCE 2000 is one of the only electric pressure washers that features 2000 PSI standard as well as has a 3000 PSI IPB (Initial Power Boost). In order to get 3000 PSI, you usually have to go with a gas pressure washer. Even though this is not the number one best-selling electric pressure washer, it is however the best-selling electric pressure washer with a 5 out of 5 stars review.

Features:

If you are looking for an electric pressure washer with all the bells and whistles this is the one for you. Let me start off by saying that the power is excellent and just about as good as a gas powered power washer due to its 3000 PSI Initial Power Boost. This allows you to feather the machine at a super high PSI to get those tough stains out. On average however the machine runs at 1800-2000 PSI which is still excellent for an electric pressure washer. It is also very efficient with water spitting out just 1.6 gallons per minute.

You will find that lots of pressure washers do not offer that great of cable management. This machine is one of the best. It features an integrated quick connect hose reel that you can easily wrap up your hose with a turn of the handle. It easily attaches to the machine as well as has options for storing other included attachments. The overall length of the power cord is 35 feet which is usually more than enough length, but being that this is an electric pressure washer you can attached extensions cords to get to any location.

The included additional accessories include a spinning patio cleaner, an adjustable nozzle which adjusts the spray from wide fan to extremely thin, and a spinning high powered turbo nozzle which easily removes dirt and debris from most surfaces. The spinning patio cleaner is usually around $70 and the PowerFit PF31023 Surface Cleaner, 15-Inch is one of my must have accessories.

Conclusion:

The Powerhouse International Force 2000 is a great choice for those that are looking for an electric pressure washer with lots of power but do not want to make the jump to a gas powered pressure washer. I give the Force 2000 5 out of 5 stars and you will see that everyone else on Amazon gives it a perfect rating too. Like all electric pressure washers, it does a great job for smaller tasks. There is no way I could use this to pressure wash my large driveway it would just take too long and would not have enough power to get the deep stains out. However, this works perfectly for me on the patio, lawn chairs, and for cleaning the stain on the house. I like it because it is light weight. Perfect for my needs.
