4.0 out of 5 stars
This is the Generac G24H, July 2, 2002
This review is from: Porter-Cable PCH2401 2,400 PSI @ 2.5 GPM 5 HP Honda Powered Pressure Washer (Lawn & Patio)
This is a great product. The Honda Motor is reliable, quiet (relatively) and you get all of the power you will ever need. I guess they could have found a way that would not require changing the nozzles everytime you're looking to get more (or less) power with a different spray pattern. But on the other hand, it is nice to be able pick and choose and it takes less than 10 seconds. Came with 0°,10°,20°,30° and 40° nozzles (0° being the highest pressure). Nice feature that the detergent will not be mixed with any nozzle other than 40°. Setup time was 30 minutes and a beer. Filled up the oil (use a small siphon and a rag - kinda at a wierd angle), gas and go. Oh yeah, one thing is kinda strange I wish they had made the oil fill cap out of something other than plastic. Just be careful putting it back in. Could be easily striped putting it back in and then you are doing nothing until you replace it (I'm kind of a gorilla in than regard). Other than that, buy the Generac G24H it is the same thing and less expensive I paid just over $[money]

Don't Buy, June 16, 2004
This review is from: Porter-Cable PCH2401 2,400 PSI @ 2.5 GPM 5 HP Honda Powered Pressure Washer (Lawn & Patio)
After using my 2401 power washer for ONLY three minutes, oil and water started puking from the pump oil fill; the motor quit running. After contacting Porter Cable, I was given the address of two places that "supposedly" work on this machine. I took it to the first place on their list. After three weeks, I went to get the washer. Then I was informed that they put a new seal kit in the pump, but the motor wouldn't start; they ONLY work on the pump, not the Honda motor. After driving 60 miles to a place that Porter Cable told me works on Honda motors, I'm informed that in fact, they don't; that Honda makes it too hard to be a service center. When I looked up this unit and the warranty, nothing was said about having separate warranties on the pump and the motor. All in all, I would NEVER, EVER buy something like this again........what a pain.

A Handy Little Machine, November 15, 2004
This review is from: Porter-Cable PCH2401 2,400 PSI @ 2.5 GPM 5 HP Honda Powered Pressure Washer (Lawn & Patio)
Even though it is really for the homeowner, we have used this washer in a commercial application, for a total of about 250 hours over a six month period. It was reliable and worked well. Plenty of power for anything you would do around the house. Recently the pressure has begun to drop off, so I'm thinking the pump is wearing out. If that is it's useful life, that would be fine for the average homeowner using it occasionally. We used it to wash down about 10,000 square feet of concrete every morning. Now I'm buying a bigger unit.
