Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
The DeWalt DXPW4440
Fueled by an impressive 389cc (11.7 hp) engine, its triplex pump can generate a forceful pressure of 4400 PSI (roughly 73 times that of a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 4 GPM (CETA-certified values). When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 17600 Cleaning Units.
The Honda GX390 engine of this gas-powered pressure washer is initiated by a classic pull-start mechanism.
Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity 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. The durable welded steel frame of the assembly ensures its longevity, providing stability and shielding internal components from damage, even in tough conditions. The handle adds to the DXPW4440 convenience of transport.
Tipping the scales at 139 lbs, this unit's weight presents a notable challenge for users, especially when it comes to lifting and moving it, particularly over uneven ground. Its 389cc Honda GX390 engine, the triplex pump and welded steel frame add up to a large chunk of the device's weight. However, the incorporation of two 13" pneumatic wheels makes navigating the DXPW4440 less cumbersome, even on uneven terrain.
Main Features
Along with the DeWalt DXPW4440 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap injection: Despite the absence of a soap tank, detergent supply is facilitated through the use of 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 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: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook. 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.

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.
