The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics and design, its main features and all the additional features it has to offer.
Power
Utilizing an induction motor, this machine's axial cam pump can deliver a pressure of 2800 PSI (around 47 times stronger than a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 1 GPM (CETA-certified values). Thus, the DeWalt DXPW2800E achieves a cleaning power of 2800 Cleaning Units.
The DXPW2800E, an electric washer, swiftly activates via a simple ON/OFF switch, ensuring user-friendly startup. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
Featuring a portable design and approximate dimensions of D16 x W16.6 x H27 in, the DeWalt DXPW2800E underscores its dedication to mobility. The telescopic handle further eases storage and offers a convenient pulling height, allowing effortless transportation.
With its 42.5 lbs weight, this unit offers a manageable size that allows for easy handling by most individuals, enhancing user convenience during operation. The weight, primarily from its motor, is balanced by DeWalt's plastic frame, maintaining the unit's ease of use. Nevertheless, the DXPW2800E's two 7.5" never-flat wheels ensure it remains easy to maneuver.
