Description
Zoom on the DeWalt DXPW3425E
In a nutshell, the DeWalt DXPW3425E is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, which not only offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, but that also allows:
- pinpoint spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, accessing high areas, and successfully 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
- 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
The DeWalt DXPW3425E
Using a powerful 208cc engine, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of up to 3400 PSI (roughly 57 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (CETA-certified values). When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 8500 Cleaning Units.
Designed with a dual starting mechanism, the engine of this gas-powered pressure washer guarantees convenience and reliability: you can opt for the hassle-free electric start or rely on the tried-and-true pull-start mechanism. However, it should be noted that the battery that is mandatory for the electric start is not included.
Design & Handling
Designed with a wheelbarrow configuration, the DeWalt DXPW3425E ensures improved mobility and stability, allowing for effortless movement and reliable operation on challenging surfaces. The robust welded steel frame guarantees longevity of the assembly, providing stability and protection for internal components, even under demanding working conditions. The handle adds to the DXPW3425E convenience of transport.
Weighing in at 81 lbs, it's safe to say this unit isn't lightweight, which might pose difficulties for users when it comes to lifting and transporting, particularly over uneven surfaces. 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
The DeWalt DXPW3425E comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: Though lacking a dedicated soap tank, the device ensures detergent supply via a siphon hose. The pressure washer automatically dispenses and mixes the detergent with the water when a soap nozzle is attached.
- Pressure hose: With a set of convenient hooks, the unit provides a convenient way to store the included 25 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose when not in use, keeping it organized and readily accessible.
- Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: In the table below, you can see the 5 included nozzles alongside their respective recommended surface uses.

User Reviews
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.
