Description
Zoom on the DeWalt DXPW3123
In summary, the DeWalt DXPW3123 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, that offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and also:
- spot cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces and out-of-reach areas
- cleaning of painted and frail surfaces
- use of detergent and cleaning solutions
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
Using the brand new Honda GCV170 (opens in a new tab) engine, which is specially built for pressure washers, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of up to 3100 PSI (roughly 52 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.3 GPM (CETA-certified values). Together, the values result in a cleaning power of 7130 Cleaning Units.
This gas-powered pressure washer’s 166 cc engine is started by a traditional pull-start mechanism.
Gasoline storage is facilitated by a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.24 gallon.
Design & Handling
Thanks to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D23.8 x W18 x H35.8 in, the DeWalt DXPW3123 offers great mobility. The strong steel frame assures assembly longevity. The handle adds to the DXPW3123 convenience of transport.
Weighing 56 lbs, the unit is easy to maneuver by most people. Its 166 cc 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
Along with the DeWalt DXPW3123 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap injection: Detergent is stored in a dedicated tank. The detergent is automatically added to the water when a soap nozzle is connected.
- 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 allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzles: The following table illustrates the 4 included nozzles, along with the surfaces which they are the most suitable for.
