Power
The A-iPower PWF3100YV
With a 189 cc engine, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of 3100 PSI (roughly 52 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.4 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer), resulting in the A-iPower PWF3100YV's cleaning power of 7440 Cleaning Units.
A classic pull-start mechanism is responsible for starting the gas-powered pressure washer’s Yamaha MA190 engine.
Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.48 gallon.
Design & Handling
With its hand truck design, the A-iPower PWF3100YV provides great mobility. The strong steel frame assures assembly longevity. The folding handle enhances its mobility, while allowing for a convenient storage.
The device can be maneuvered with ease by most, since it only weighs 63 lbs. Its 189 cc Yamaha MA190 engine and steel frame all add up to a substantial part of that weight. Nethertheless, thanks to its two 12" never-flat wheels, the PWF3100YV remains very easy to manipulate and maneuver.
