Zoom on the DeWalt DXPW4440
In summary, the DeWalt DXPW4440 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, that offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and also:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching high areas, and removing stubborn stains
- complete cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface prep for painting
- gentle cleaning of delicate surfaces, and low pressure cleaning of larger areas
- applying detergents and cleaning agents, and rinsing off surfaces
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
With a powerful 389cc (11.7 hp) engine, its triplex pump delivers a pressure of 4400 PSI (roughly 73 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 4 GPM (CETA-certified values), resulting in the DeWalt DXPW4440's cleaning power of 17600 Cleaning Units.
The Honda GX390 engine of this gas-powered pressure washer is initiated by a classic pull-start mechanism.
Containing gasoline, the pressure washer's fuel tank can hold a maximum of 1.6 gallon.
Design & Handling
With its wheelbarrow design, the DeWalt DXPW4440 delivers superior maneuverability and stability, facilitating easy transport and steady performance across various surfaces. Guaranteeing longevity, the robust welded steel frame offers stability and protects internal components, even when subjected to demanding tasks. The handle adds to the DXPW4440 convenience of transport.
At 139 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. Its 389cc Honda GX390 engine, the triplex pump and welded steel frame are mainly responsible for its heavy weight. Nonetheless, the addition of two 13" pneumatic wheels simplifies maneuvering the DXPW4440, even across rough ground.
Main Features
The DeWalt DXPW4440'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: Detergent is fed in through a siphon hose, since the device lacks a soap tank. Upon connecting a soap nozzle, the pressure washer takes over the task of seamlessly combining the detergent with the water flow.
- Pressure hose: Utilizing a set of convenient hooks, the unit offers a convenient solution for storing the included 50 ft ⌀3/8" high-pressure hose when it's not in use, keeping it neatly organized.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand. The gun features a rotating auxiliary side handle to further improve the comfort of both left and right-handed users.
- Nozzles: In the table below, you can see the 5 included nozzles alongside their respective recommended surface uses.

Other Features
- Onboard storage: The DeWalt DXPW4440 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 low oil protection and a thermal relief valve (which helps to prevent internal pump damage).
- Accessories: Included with the DeWalt DXPW4440 are also the owner's manual and some basic documentation to get you promptly started, along with several accessories, such as oil, wand, soap hose, nozzle cleaner, spray gun and pressure hose.

User Reviews
I have 3 DeWalt 4400,4200, and 4000 PSI pressure washers. I also have a Husqvarna 3200.
The DeWalt units have been great for the past three years.
Bought it and in third use the pump leaked all of its oil thru the see-thru gauge on the front. Disappointed.
