- broad cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface preparation for painting
- soft cleaning of delicate surfaces, and gentle cleaning for larger areas with low pressure
- applying detergents and cleaning agents, and rinsing off surfaces
The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics and design, its main features and all the additional features it has to offer.
Power
The DeWalt DXPW4035
With an impressive 269cc (8.4 hp) engine powering it, the triplex pump of this unit is capable of achieving a pressure of 4000 PSI (approximately 67 times greater than that of a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 3.5 GPM (CETA-certified values). Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 14000 Cleaning Units.
To initiate the Honda GX270 engine of this gas-powered pressure washer, a traditional pull-start mechanism is employed.
The pressure washer's tank has a maximum capacity of 1.4 gallon for storing gasoline.
Design & Handling
With its wheelbarrow design, the DeWalt DXPW4035 delivers superior maneuverability and stability, facilitating easy transport and steady performance across various 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 DXPW4035 convenience of transport.
With its weight clocking in at 126 lbs, this unit's heftiness can't be ignored, presenting significant difficulties for users who need to lift and transport it, especially over uneven terrain. A key role in its final weight is played by its 269cc Honda GX270 engine, the triplex pump and welded steel frame. Despite this, the presence of two 13" pneumatic wheels reduces the complexity of moving the DXPW4035, even on rugged surfaces.
Main Features
The DeWalt DXPW4035'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: Despite the absence of a soap tank, detergent supply is facilitated through the use of 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: With a set of convenient hooks, the unit offers a practical solution for maintaining workspace order, allowing the included 50 ft ⌀3/8" high-pressure hose to be neatly stored when idle.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook. A rotating auxiliary side handle further improves both left-handed and right-handed users' comfort.
- Nozzles: In the table below, you can see the 5 included nozzles alongside their respective recommended surface uses.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete, brick, masonry | |||||

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.

User Reviews
Bought a DeWalt DXPW4035 from Home Depot ($950.00) and used it three times. During the beginning of the 4th use the unit’s pump would not generate pressure or dispense a drop of water. I contacted Home Depot and was informed I had to directly contact a regional DeWalt service center for any repair. Home Depot provided no assistance so I researched and found the closest DeWalt Service Center to Tampa which was in Orlando (146 miles from my house). The DeWalt Service Center informed me they do not repair DeWalt Pressure Washer units because they do not produce them. Dewalt actually purchases the pressure washer units from a company named FNA and then they place their DeWalt logo on the units and sell them as if they were a Dewalt product. I called FNA for repair information and was instructed to take the unit to a local small engine repair shop in Tampa along with the Home Depot sales slip for a potential repair. Needless to say, I was informed that I would be given a call but that the repair could be over $1000 (a bit more than the purchase price of the unit. This was another lesson learned from 2 supposed legitimate companies (Home Depot and Dewalt) on how customers are mislead about products and can be scammed by clever marketing techniques.
I purchase this model in April 2021. Worked great until I need to add more fuel. Would not start again. Tried for two days… (did all the basic stuff, release gun pressure, etc..). I called Dewalt support. They had no clue, told me to take in for service. Really? After 45 minutes of use?
I then bought the model below this one last week. (May 2021) Within 10 minutes of use, two of the 4 pump bolts came loose, sprayed oil all over my stamped patio.
Used the pressure washer twice. Worked fine. The third time the vent on the pump started blowing water out. Called warranty department and took the machine to their repair center. The pump seals went bad after 2 tanks of fuel(less than 8hrs. of use) They have had the machine for almost 6 weeks and still hasn’t been repaired. They said the seal kit is not in their inventory yet. Why not replace the entire pump? Or the entire machine? Or refund my money?? Meanwhile I have had to rent a machine twice while my new pressure washer sits. Shame on you DEWALT. You have lost a costumer for life. Buy this pressure washer and you will be disappointed.
