Description
Zoom on the DeWalt DXPW3123
The DeWalt DXPW3123 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:
- spot cleaning of hard, paintless surfaces and reaching far-away areas
- cleaning of painted and fragile surfaces
- application of detergent and cleaning solutions
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
Its axial cam pump, which utilizes the brand new, specially built for pressure washers, Honda GCV170 (opens in a new tab) engine, may deliver a pressure of up to 3100 PSI (almost 52 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.3 GPM. These values correspond to a cleaning power of 7130 Cleaning Units.
This gas-powered pressure washer’s 166cc engine is started by a traditional pull-start mechanism.
A fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.24 gallon is used to store gasoline.
Design & Handling
With its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D23.8 x W18 x H35.8 in, the DeWalt DXPW3123 provides great mobility. The robust and sturdy steel frame offers longevity to the assembly. The handle adds to the DXPW3123 convenience of transport.
Weighing 56 lbs, the unit is easy to maneuver by most people. Its 166cc Honda GCV170 engine and steel frame all add up to a substantial part of that weight. However, the two 12" never-flat wheels allow the DXPW3123 to be easily manipulated and maneuvered.
Main Features
The DeWalt DXPW3123 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: Detergent storage is ensured by a dedicated tank. Whenever a soap nozzle is connected, the detergent is automatically added to the water.
- Pressure hose: The included 25 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when idle thanks to a set of convenient hooks.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
