Zoom on the DeWalt DXPW3400PR
The DeWalt DXPW3400PR is a heavy duty pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:
- targeted spot cleaning for hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching elevated areas, and thoroughly removing stubborn stains
- broad cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface preparation for painting
- mild cleaning for delicate surfaces, and low-pressure cleaning for broader areas
- applying detergent and cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
The DeWalt DXPW3400PR
Powered by an impressive 208cc engine, its axial cam pump can deliver a pressure of 3400 PSI (around 57 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (CETA-certified values). With these values combined, the DeWalt DXPW3400PR boasts a cleaning power of 8500 Cleaning Units.
With a dual start mechanism, the DeWalt engine of this gas-powered pressure washer provides convenience and reliability: you are presented with the choice between the modern convenience of the electric start or the traditional reliability of the pull-start mechanism. However, it should be noted that the 20V battery that is mandatory for the electric start is not included.
The pressure washer's steel tank has a maximum capacity of 0.68 gallon for storing gasoline.
Design & Handling
With its wheelbarrow design, the DeWalt DXPW3400PR delivers superior maneuverability and stability, facilitating easy transport and steady performance across various surfaces. The sturdy welded steel frame ensures the longevity of the assembly, offering stability and protection for internal components, even during rigorous use. The reversible handle offers further versatility, as its different positions make the unit less bulky when stored.
At 85 lbs, we can't really say that the unit is lightweight, and manually lifting or transporting it could be a significant challenge for users, especially if they need to move it frequently or navigate over uneven terrain. The major reasons for its heavy weight are 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
The DeWalt DXPW3400PR'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: Even though the device doesn't have a soap tank, detergent is supplied by a siphon hose. The detergent is automatically mixed with the water flow by the pressure washer when a soap nozzle is connected.
- Pressure hose: Utilizing a set of convenient hooks, the unit offers a convenient solution for storing the included 25 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose when it's not in use, keeping it neatly organized.
- Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook. A rotating auxiliary side handle further improves both left-handed and right-handed users' comfort.
- Nozzles: Refer to the table below for details on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications.

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
Some of the included accessories
- Onboard storage: The DeWalt DXPW3400PR features a handy storage area, which allows you to neatly store nozzles and accessories and be always prepared by having everything needed 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 spray gun, wand, oil, soap hose and pressure 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.
