Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
Powered by a 173 cc engine, its aluminum axial cam pump can deliver a pressure of 3200 PSI (around 53 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.4 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). Combined, these values mean that the A-iPower APW3200K has a cleaning power of 7680 Cleaning Units.
This gas-powered pressure washer’s Kohler XT775 engine is started by a traditional pull-start mechanism.
Gasoline storage is facilitated by a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.37 gallon.
Design & Handling

The majority of users will be able to maneuver this unit easily, it only weighs 57 lbs. Its 173 cc Kohler XT775 engine and steel tubing frame all add up to a substantial part of that weight. But, as the APW3200K does have a set of two 12" never-flat wheels, it can be easily maneuvered and manipulated.
