Power
The DeWalt DXPW3425E
Its axial cam pump, which utilizes a powerful 208cc engine, may deliver a pressure of up to 3400 PSI (almost 57 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM. Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 8500 Cleaning Units.
Boasting a dual starting mechanism, the engine of this gas-powered pressure washer delivers 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 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. Its 208cc engine and welded steel frame are mainly responsible for its heavy weight. Despite this, the presence of two 10" pneumatic wheels reduces the complexity of moving the DXPW3425E, even on rugged surfaces.
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: Despite the absence of a soap tank, detergent supply is facilitated through the use of a siphon hose. When a soap nozzle is connected, the pressure washer takes the initiative to mix the detergent with the water flow automatically.
- Pressure hose: The unit comes equipped with an included 25 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose, which can be neatly stored on the unit when idle, thanks to a set of convenient hooks, ensuring easy access and organization.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzles: Find details on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications in the table below.

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.
