Zoom on the DeWalt DXPW3400PR
The DeWalt DXPW3400PR, a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, gives its user an all-around versatile cleaning experience, topped off by the following features:
- precise spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching elevated areas, and effectively removing stubborn stains
- broad cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface preparation for painting
- gentle cleaning of delicate surfaces, and low pressure cleaning of larger areas
- applying detergents and cleaning agents, and rinsing off surfaces
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
With a powerful 208cc engine, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of 3400 PSI (roughly 57 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (CETA-certified values), resulting in the DeWalt DXPW3400PR's cleaning power of 8500 Cleaning Units.
Boasting a dual starting mechanism, the DeWalt engine of this gas-powered pressure washer delivers convenience and reliability: you are free to choose between the modern electric start, offering convenience, or the traditional pull-start mechanism, known for its reliability. However, it should be noted that the 20V battery that is mandatory for the electric start is not included.
Fuel for the pressure washer is housed in a steel tank capable of holding up to 0.68 gallon of gasoline.
Design & Handling
With its wheelbarrow-inspired design, the DeWalt DXPW3400PR aims for excellent mobility and stability, enabling effortless maneuvering and dependable performance across diverse environments. The durable welded steel frame of the assembly ensures its longevity, providing stability and shielding internal components from damage, even in tough conditions. The reversible handle offers further versatility, as its different positions make the unit less bulky when stored.
Tipping the scales at 85 lbs, this unit's weight presents a notable challenge for users, especially when it comes to lifting and moving it, particularly over uneven ground. A key role in its final weight is played by its 208cc DeWalt engine and welded steel frame. However, the incorporation of two 10" pneumatic wheels makes navigating the DXPW3400PR less cumbersome, even on uneven terrain.
Main Features
The DeWalt DXPW3400PR comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: Even though the device doesn't have a soap tank, detergent is supplied by a siphon hose. Attachment of a soap nozzle prompts the pressure washer to automatically introduce and blend the detergent with the water.
- Pressure hose: When not in use, the unit allows for tidy storage of the included 25 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose using a set of convenient hooks, ensuring convenient organization.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand. The gun features a rotating auxiliary side handle to further improve the comfort of both left and right-handed users.
- Nozzles: The following table provides information on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface uses.

PressuReady Technology
DeWalt's PressuReady® technology offers a waterproof battery compartment that accepts 20V MAX* and FLEXVOLT® batteries.
It removes the need to adjust the choke or to pull the recoil, as the engine starts and the choke self-adjusts when the gun trigger is pulled.
In addition, an integrated smart control panel features a built-in LED diagnostic screen that indicates which mode the pressure washer is in (such as ready-mode or water flow), and warns of potential faults such as lack of fuel or low battery.
Other Features
- Onboard storage: The DeWalt DXPW3400PR's handy storage area lets you store nozzles and accessories, and thus, you’ll be always prepared and have everything necessary for the job at hand.
- Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation), a thermal relief valve (which helps to prevent internal pump damage) and a low oil protection.
- Accessories: On top of an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and the usual documentation to get you swiftly started, the DeWalt DXPW3400PR also comes with oil, spray gun, pressure hose, wand and soap hose.

User Reviews
I bought this for my wife so she wouldn’t have to pull the cord to start, worked great for about 5 times. Now it’s been in the shop for 2 months, Dewalt won’t get back to their certified mechanic with technical assistance so who knows if it will work again.
