Description

The G 3200 Q was developed to offer strong cleaning performance that is both easy to use and store. This gas pressure washer delivers 3200 PSI of TruPRESSURE™, ensuring you get the highest level of cleaning power. (source: Kärcher (opens in a new tab))

Zoom on the Kärcher G3200Q

The Kärcher G3200Q is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:

  • intense cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces
  • cleaning of painted and frail surfaces
  • use of detergent and cleaning solutions

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

Power

Using a 196cc (5.5 hp) engine, its aluminum axial cam pump delivers a pressure of up to 3200 PSI (roughly 53 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.6 GPM (CETA-certified values). Together, the values result in a cleaning power of 8320 Cleaning Units.

A classic pull-start mechanism is responsible for starting the gas-powered pressure washer’s Loncin G200FA engine.

Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.8 gallon.

Design & Handling

The Kärcher G3200Q is very mobile, due to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D19.7 x W22.5 x H39.4 in. The robust and sturdy welded steel frame offers longevity to the assembly. The handle adds to the G3200Q convenience of transport.

Weighing 64 lbs, the unit is easy to maneuver by most people. A major component of its weight are its 196cc Loncin G200FA engine and welded steel frame. Since the G3200Q has a set of two 12" never-flat wheels, it is still easily maneuvered and manipulated.

Main Features

Along with the Kärcher G3200Q 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 stored in a removable 0.5 gal tank. The detergent will be added automatically to the water when a soap nozzle is attached.
  • Pressure hose: A neat storage for the included 25 ft high-pressure hose is facilitated by a set of easy-to-use straps.
  • Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
  • Nozzles: The table below shows you the 4 included nozzles, as well as the surfaces they're the most appropriate for.

  • Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation).
  • Accessories: Included with the Kärcher G3200Q are also the owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and some basic documentation to get you promptly started, along with several accessories, such as pressure hose, spray gun and wand.
  • Emissions: The Kärcher G3200Q is EPA-approved and CARB-compliant. Thus, selling and purchasing this pressure washer is allowed in each of the 50 states, including California.

The Kärcher G3200Q's performance versus other pressure washers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the Kärcher G3200Q compare to similarly priced pressure washers.

  • With 3200 PSI, the Karcher G3200Q ranks as one that can reach an above average pressure, amongst the gas-powered products that cost between $300 and $400. If you're going after the highest possible power of the water stream, one of the best in this price range is the Westinghouse WPX3400 that can reach up to 3400 PSI.
  • Considering the above-mentioned price range, this washer's maximum water flow of 2.6 GPM (gallons per minute) is higher than the average. If maximum rinsing efficiency is your top priority, one of the devices with the highest water flow in the same price range is the Predator 3200, with a GPM of 2.8.
  • With a rather impressive value of 8320 Cleaning Units (PSI X GPM), the G3200Q has a higher cleaning efficiency compared to similarly priced devices. If you consider the highest overall cleaning power as a really important factor, the WEN PW3400 and its 9180 Cleaning Units has one of the highest cleaning efficiency of all the similarly priced units.

Price comparison

As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other gas-powered washers between 8000 and 8500 Cleaning Units, the Karcher G3200Q 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.
