Zoom on the Generac 7122

In summary, the Generac 7122 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, that offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and also:

  • spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces and high-reach cleaning
  • cleaning of painted and fragile surfaces
  • applying detergent and cleaning solutions

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 Generac 7122 in use

The Generac 7122

The Generac 7122's brass axial cam pump, powered by a 196 cc engine, can provide a pressure of up to 3200 PSI (approximately 53 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.7 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). The Generac 7122 thus has a cleaning power of 8640 Cleaning Units.

This gas-powered pressure washer’s Generac engine is started by a traditional pull-start mechanism.

A fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.8 gallon is used to store gasoline.

Design & Handling

The Generac 7122 is very mobile, due to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D24.2 x W18.9 x H35.5 in. Its sturdy steel frame provides longevity to the assembly. The rubber-padded fixed handle adds to the 7122 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.

Most users can maneuver this model easily, as it weighs just 62 lbs. One of the largest contributors to its weight are its 196 cc Generac engine and its steel frame. However, the two 10" never-flat wheels allow the 7122 to be easily manipulated and maneuvered.

Main Features

Along with the Generac 7122 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: Detergent storage is ensured by a 0.5 gal tank. The Generac 7122 is not equipped with a soap dilution mechanism, and thus, it is up to the user to ensure the detergent’s correct dilution ratio when using it. Whenever a soap nozzle is connected, the detergent is automatically added to the water.
  • Pressure hose: A neat storage for the included 30 ft ⌀1/5" high-pressure hose (3400 PSI rating) is facilitated by a set of convenient hooks.
  • Spray gun and wand: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included PowerDial spray gun and its wand.
  • Nozzles: The 5 included nozzles, and the respective surfaces they’re appropriate for, are listed in the table below.

Some of the accessories of the Generac 7122

Some of the included accessories

  • PowerDial™ gun: The PowerDial™ ergonomic spray gun features 4 different power modes, which can be selected simply, according to your cleaning task – soap, wood, concrete or car.
  • Soap Blaster: The Soap Blaster attachment achieves a 3x longer spraying distance than a standard nozzle tip, allows you to penetrate tough stains and improves your overall cleaning results.
  • Power Broom: Generac’s Power Broom features a 12” surface coverage with high pressure nozzles, which are up to 4x faster than standard nozzles. It performs excellently when cleanings deck, patios, driveways and sidewalks.
  • Onboard storage: Stay prepared for any job with Generac 7122's handy storage area, which allows you to neatly store any nozzles and accessories which you may need for the job.
  • Pressure control: Water pressure can be manually changed, using the adjustable throttle of the trigger gun.
  • Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a thermal relief valve (which helps to prevent internal pump damage) and a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation).
  • Accessories: Included with the Generac 7122 are also the owner's manual and some basic documentation to get you promptly started, along with several accessories, such as Soap Blaster nozzle, spray gun, pressure hose, oil, funnel, wand and Power Broom attachment.
  • Emissions: The Generac 7122 is CARB-compliant, which means that it’s purchase and sale is legal in any of the 50 states, including California.

The Generac 7122's performance versus other pressure washers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the Generac 7122 compare to similarly priced pressure washers.

  • Reaching a 3200 PSI max pressure output, the Generac 7122 has an expected pressure value, compared to the other gas-powered units in the $500 to $600 price range. If your priority is the highest possible power of the water stream, in this price range, we suggest checking out the Simpson ALH3425-S, which reaches up to 3600 PSI.
  • In the aforementioned price range, the 2.7 GPM (gallons per minute) of this washer makes it one of the better performing units in terms of the delivered volume of water. If rinsing away debris most efficiently is your priority, one of the devices with the highest GPM in this price range is the Lifan LFQ3370E, which can reach up to 3 GPM.
  • With a rather impressive value of 8640 Cleaning Units (PSI X GPM), the 7122 has a higher cleaning efficiency compared to similarly priced devices. In case you are looking for the highest overall cleaning power, in this price range, one of the current champions is the Lifan LFQ3370E and its 9900 Cleaning Units.

Price comparison

As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other gas-powered washers between 8500 and 9000 Cleaning Units, the Generac 7122 is on the average side of the price range.

Therefore, this pressure washer nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of cleaning power.
