Description
Zoom on the A-iPower PWF3201SH
In a nutshell, the A-iPower PWF3201SH is a heavy duty pressure washer, which not only offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, but that also allows:
- targeted spot cleaning for hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching elevated areas, and thoroughly removing stubborn stains
- soft cleaning of delicate surfaces, and gentle cleaning for larger areas with low pressure
- using cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces to remove residue
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
The A-iPower PWF3201SH
With a powerful 208cc (7 hp) engine, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of 3200 PSI (roughly 53 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 PWF3201SH's cleaning power of 7680 Cleaning Units.
The engine of this gas-powered pressure washer is initiated by a classic pull-start mechanism.
Design & Handling
With its hand truck design, the A-iPower PWF3201SH provides excellent maneuverability. The durable welded steel frame of the assembly ensures its longevity, providing stability and shielding internal components from damage, even in tough conditions. The rubber-padded fixed handle adds to the PWF3201SH convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
At 64 lbs, this unit strikes a balance between portability and stability, making it easy for most users to handle. This weight is largely influenced by the presence of the 208cc engine and a robust welded steel frame. Nevertheless, the PWF3201SH's two 12" never-flat wheels ensure it remains easy to maneuver.
Main Features
The A-iPower PWF3201SH
The A-iPower PWF3201SH's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap injection: Detergent storage is facilitated by the inclusion of a removable 0.8 gal tank. Attachment of a soap nozzle prompts the pressure washer to automatically introduce and blend the detergent with the water.
- Pressure hose: With a set of convenient hooks, the unit offers a practical solution for maintaining workspace order, allowing the included 25 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose to be neatly stored when idle.
- Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: The following table provides information on the 4 included nozzles and their recommended surface uses.

| Concrete, brick, masonry | ||||
| Siding, gutters, house | ||||
