Power
The A-iPower PWF4200SH
With a powerful 420cc (13 hp) engine, its brass triplex pump delivers a pressure of 4200 PSI (roughly 70 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 4 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer), resulting in the A-iPower PWF4200SH's cleaning power of 16800 Cleaning Units.
The Senci SC420 engine of this gas pressure washer is activated by pulling a starter cord, following a traditional approach.
Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 1.7 gallon.
Design & Handling
Featuring a wheelbarrow design, the A-iPower PWF4200SH prioritizes maneuverability and stability, ensuring smooth handling and reliable functionality in demanding cleaning applications. With its strong steel frame, the assembly is built to last, providing stability and safeguarding internal components, even in challenging environments. The reversible handle offers further versatility, as its different positions make the unit less bulky when stored.
At 132 lbs, this unit's substantial weight makes it quite a challenge for users to lift and maneuver, particularly on uneven surfaces where its heft can become even more apparent. The main contributors to its weight are its 420cc Senci SC420 engine, the triplex pump and steel frame. However, the incorporation of two 12" never-flat wheels makes navigating the PWF4200SH less cumbersome, even on uneven terrain.
Main Features
The A-iPower PWF4200SH's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap injection: While not equipped with a soap tank, the device maintains detergent supply through a siphon hose. Upon attaching a soap nozzle, the pressure washer seamlessly integrates the detergent into the water flow.
- Pressure hose: For easy organization, the included 50 ft high-pressure hose can be stored on the unit using a set of convenient hooks when it's not in use, ensuring a clutter-free workspace.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
