As the 3200 and the 2650 are both Predator pressure washers, they benefit from the same overall level of quality and attention to detail.

Power Comparison

• Fuel: Both units are gas-powered pressure washers, offering high pressure for effective cleaning and continuous operation without the need for recharging or plugging in.
• Engine & Pump: In both the Predator 3200 and the Predator 2650, axial-type pumps are employed, valued for their lightweight build and ease of use. The Predator 3200 operates its pump with a 223cc engine, while the Predator 2650 employs a 196cc engine. The starting process for both devices involves a familiar pull-start mechanism.

The following charts are provided to show you at a glance how the main specs of the Predator 3200 compare to the Predator 2650.

• Pressure: With a maximum reachable pressure of 3200 PSI, the Predator 3200 provides a much higher force for effectively blasting away dirt and grime, surpassing the 2650 PSI of the Predator 2650.
• Water Flow: At low pressure, the 3200 can produce a much higher volume of water than that of the 2650. With a capacity of up to 2.8 GPM (gallons per minute) compared to the 2650's maximum flow of 2.4 GPM, it should enable you to rinse away dirt and debris with significantly greater effectiveness.
• Cleaning Power: The Predator 3200's overall cleaning efficiency is substantially greater with its 8960 C.U. than that of the 2650, which has 6360 C.U.

Design Comparison

• Design: Both units utilize a hand truck layout. As a result, differences in mobility between the devices may be linked to factors such as their respective wheels and weight, which will be elaborated upon below.
• Weight: With an approximate weight of 63.5 lbs, the 2650 is slightly less heavy. It should therefore be easier to transport and handle compared to the 3200, which weighs around 66.5 lbs.
• Maneuverability: Both items come with wheels, greatly improving their ease of movement. Both products come equipped with a folding handle, engineered to enhance your grip for increased comfort and control while maneuvering or transporting them.

Feature Comparison

• Soap Addition: Both washers allow users to incorporate chemical detergent solutions into the water, boosting their cleaning efficiency. Whether you opt for the 3200 or the 2650, you'll enjoy the convenience of an onboard soap tank, providing hassle-free storage for your cleaning chemicals.
• Trigger Gun & Wand: Included with both units is a fairly standard ergonomic trigger gun and a classic wand.
• Nozzles: Both the 2650 and the 3200 arrive with a set of 5 nozzles included, ensuring you have the right tools for various cleaning tasks. Both products offer the exact same selection of nozzles: 0°, 15°, 25°, 40°, and a soap nozzle.
• Reach: Equipped with matching 25 ft high-pressure hoses, neither the Predator 3200 nor the Predator 2650 provides a superior level of mobility around the unit.
• Storage: Both the 3200 and 2650 feature convenient onboard storage, ensuring that your accessories are always within reach. Both washers provide a set of hooks, simplifying the process of storing their high-pressure hoses when not in use.
