Zoom on the Husqvarna HB32
The Husqvarna HB32 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, and enables:
- targeted spot cleaning for hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching elevated areas, and thoroughly removing stubborn stains
- general cleaning of hard surfaces , washing vehicles, and preparing surfaces for painting
- gentle cleaning for sensitive surfaces, and wide coverage cleaning with low pressure
- applying detergent and cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
The Husqvarna HB32's axial cam pump, powered by a powerful 208cc 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 2.5 GPM (values as per PW101-2010). Thus, the Husqvarna HB32 achieves a cleaning power of 8000 Cleaning Units.
The Briggs & Stratton CR950 engine of this gas pressure washer is activated by pulling a starter cord, following a traditional approach.
Containing gasoline, the pressure washer's fuel tank can hold a maximum of 0.8 gallon.
Design & Handling
The Husqvarna HB32's wheelbarrow-style design enhances both mobility and stability, enabling seamless navigation and consistent performance, even on rugged terrain. The sturdy welded steel frame ensures the longevity of the assembly, offering stability and protection for internal components, even during rigorous use. The handle adds to the HB32 convenience of transport.
Weighing in at 80 lbs, it's safe to say this unit isn't lightweight, which might pose difficulties for users when it comes to lifting and transporting, particularly over uneven surfaces. The main contributors to its weight are its 208cc Briggs & Stratton CR950 engine and welded steel frame. Nevertheless, with its two 10" pneumatic wheels, users can manage the HB32 with less difficulty, even over uneven terrain.
Main Features
Along with the Husqvarna HB32 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail 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: The included 30 ft high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when not in use, utilizing a set of convenient hooks for convenient organization.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzles: Review the table below to learn about the 4 included nozzles and the surfaces they're recommended for.
0° | 15° | 40° | Soap | |
