Description
Zoom on the DeWalt DXPW3425E
The DeWalt DXPW3425E is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:
- pinpoint spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, accessing high areas, and successfully removing stubborn stains
- complete cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface prep for painting
- soft cleaning of delicate surfaces, and gentle cleaning for larger areas with low pressure
- using cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces to remove residue
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
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 DXPW3425E boasts a cleaning power of 8500 Cleaning Units.
Featuring a dual starting mechanism, the engine of this gas-powered pressure washer ensures convenience and reliability: you have the freedom to select either the convenient electric start or the reliable pull-start mechanism. However, it should be noted that the battery that is mandatory for the electric start is not included.
Design & Handling
With its wheelbarrow design, the DeWalt DXPW3425E delivers superior maneuverability and stability, facilitating easy transport and steady performance across various surfaces. Built to endure, the welded steel frame ensures the assembly's longevity by providing stability and safeguarding internal components under all working conditions. The handle adds to the DXPW3425E convenience of transport.
Tipping the scales at 81 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 engine and welded steel frame. However, the incorporation of two 10" pneumatic wheels makes navigating the DXPW3425E less cumbersome, even on uneven terrain.
Main Features
The DeWalt DXPW3425E'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. Upon connecting a soap nozzle, the pressure washer takes over the task of seamlessly combining the detergent with the water flow.
- 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: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: In the table below, you can see the 5 included nozzles alongside their respective recommended surface uses.

About DeWalt
With the invention of the first radial arm saw in 1922 by Raymond DeWalt, the company has since grown into one of the top names in power tools in the industry. Acquired by Black & Decker in 1960, the DeWALT brand has become a favorite of contractors, particularly in North America. It boasts seven manufacturing facilities in the U.S. Though known mainly for professional-grade corded-electric and battery-powered hand tools, the company has also begun to offer some outdoor power equipment as well, such as leaf blowers and string trimmers. DeWalt gas-powered washers are manufactured by FNA, and electric washers are manufactured by Stanley Black & Decker.

The plastic housing which I believe is the water sensor that is connected to the garden hose broke the second time I used it. I would not recommend this to anybody.
The Dewalt DXPW3425E has a water sensor that has a plastic housing that cracks….stay away from this unit. The closest warranty center is over 100 miles away and a three week period to get repaired. Very disappointed with Dewalt for their lack of concern for a well known defect in design . These units with this part are all over the internet for sale because of this. Never buying Dewalt products again!
I bought a “returned/rebuilt” pressure washer a little over a year ago for personal use. I also bought an 18 inch surface cleaner. Compared to smaller units that I have borrowed from my neighbors, this one is a dream for cleaning driveways and sidewalks. So far I have no complaints with this DeWalt pressure washer and attachment.
I use it on mine, and two of my children’s properties.
