Description

Zoom on the Generac 8902

In a nutshell, the Generac 8902 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, which not only offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, but that also allows:

  • spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces and high-reach cleaning
  • cleaning of painted and frail surfaces
  • application of detergent and cleaning solutions

Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.

Power

The Generac 8902 in use

The Generac 8902

The Generac 8902's brass axial cam pump, powered by a 196cc 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 8902 thus has a cleaning power of 8640 Cleaning Units.

The Generac engine of this gas-powered pressure washer relies on an old-school pull-start mechanism to get started.

Gasoline storage is facilitated by a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.8 gallon.

Design & Handling

The Generac 8902 is very mobile, due to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D24.2 x W18.9 x H35.5 in. The strong steel frame assures assembly longevity. The rubber-padded fixed handle adds to the 8902 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.

Most users can maneuver this model easily, as it weighs just 62 lbs. Its 196cc Generac engine and steel frame account for a good chunk of that weight. However, the two 10" never-flat wheels allow the 8902 to be easily manipulated and maneuvered.

Main Features

The Generac 8902 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.

  • Soap injection: Detergent storage is ensured by a 0.5 gal tank. It must be noted that the Generac 8902 doesn’t come with a soap dilution mechanism. Therefore, you must always make sure that your detergent is correctly diluted. When a soap nozzle is connected, the detergent will be added automatically to the water.
  • Pressure hose: Using a set of convenient hooks, the included 30 ft ⌀1/5" high-pressure hose (3400 PSI rating) can be easily stored on the unit when it is not running.
  • Spray gun and wand: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included PowerDial spray gun and its wand.
  • Nozzles: The 5 nozzles included with the device, and the respective surfaces which they’re the most suitable for, are shown in the following table.

The Generac 8902's performance versus other pressure washers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the Generac 8902 compare to similarly priced pressure washers.

  • With its 3200 PSI max pressure output, the Generac 8902 is in the expected pressure range, for gas-powered units in the $400-500 price range. If your priority is the highest possible power of the water stream, in this price range, we suggest checking out the Simpson MS61084-S, which reaches up to 3400 PSI.
  • The water flow of this washer, which reaches up to 2.7 GPM (gallons per minute) is one of the higher values found in the above-mentioned price range. In case you are looking for a device which can most efficiently rinse away debris in the current price range, the Predator 3200 has the highest GPM of 2.8.
  • The 8902, with its 8640 Cleaning Units (PSI X GPM) sits at the high end of the cleaning efficiency spectrum, when compared to other devices of similar price. In case you are looking for the highest overall cleaning power, in this price range, one of the current champions is the Predator 3200 and its 8960 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 8902 is on the cheap side of the price range.

It can therefore be a really good buy if you're looking to acquire a budget pressure washer.
