Description
Zoom on the Lifan LFQ2130-CA
In a nutshell, the Lifan LFQ2130-CA is a medium duty pressure washer that allows:
- spot cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces and out-of-reach areas
- intense cleaning of tough, paintless surfaces
- cleaning of painted and fragile surfaces
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
Using a 79cc (3 hp) engine, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of up to 2100 PSI (roughly 35 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). Together, the values result in a cleaning power of 4200 Cleaning Units.
A classic pull-start mechanism is responsible for starting the gas-powered pressure washer’s Lifan engine.
The fuel is stored in a tank, which can hold up to 0.37 gallon of gasoline.
Design & Handling
With its portable design and approximate dimensions of D16 x W13 x H15 in, the Lifan LFQ2130-CA makes mobility one of its core strengths. The strong steel tubing frame assures assembly longevity. The rubber-padded fixed handle adds to the LFQ2130-CA convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
With a weight of only 33 lbs, the unit is very easy to carry around. Because the LFQ2130-CA is so lightweight, it doesn’t utilize wheels.
Main Features
The Lifan LFQ2130-CA's package includes a spray gun, a wand and a pressure hose, with a more detailed description below.
- Pressure hose: A neat storage for the included 25 ft high-pressure hose is facilitated by a set of convenient hooks.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its versatile wand can be easily stored in a side hook. Lifan's adjustable wand allows you to conveniently switch from low to high pressure, while you clean. Simply twist the end to adjust the pressure and spray pattern on-the-go.
Other Features
- Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation) and a thermal relief valve (which helps to prevent internal pump damage).
- Accessories: The Lifan LFQ2130-CA comes with an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and some basic documentation to get you quickly started. On top of that, you also get spray gun, pressure hose and wand.
- Emissions: The Lifan LFQ2130-CA is EPA-approved and CARB-compliant. This means that this pressure washer can be bought and sold in each of the 50 states, including California.
The Lifan LFQ2130-CA's performance versus other pressure washers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the Lifan LFQ2130-CA compare to similarly priced pressure washers.
- The Lifan LFQ2130-CA and its 2100 PSI, ranks amongst gas-powered pressure washers with a comparably low pressure output, considering the units that cost between $195 and $255. If you're going after the highest possible power of the water stream, one of the best in this price range is the Kärcher G2900E that can reach up to 2900 PSI.
- When compared to devices in the above-mentioned price range, this washer and its 2 GPM (gallons per minute), is on the lower end of the achievable water flow. If maximum rinsing efficiency is your top priority, one of the devices with the highest water flow in the same price range is the Kärcher G2900E, with a GPM of 2.6.
- With 4200 Cleaning Units (PSI X GPM), the LFQ2130-CA is on the low end when compared to other similarly priced gas-powered devices. If the highest overall cleaning power is your top priority, the Kärcher G2900E, which can reach up to 7540 Cleaning Units, is one of the most efficient of the devices in the current price range.
Price comparison
As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other gas-powered washers between 3500 and 5000 Cleaning Units, the Lifan LFQ2130-CA 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.
The bottom line
- Inexpensive
