Zoom on the Lifan LFQ4515E-Elite

The Lifan LFQ4515E-Elite, a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, gives its user an all-around versatile cleaning experience, topped off by the following features:

  • spot cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces and out-of-reach areas
  • thorough cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces
  • 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 Lifan LFQ4515E-Elite in use

The Lifan LFQ4515E-Elite

With an impressive 420 cc (15 hp) engine, its triplex pump delivers a pressure of 4500 PSI (roughly 75 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 4 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer), resulting in the Lifan LFQ4515E-Elite's cleaning power of 18000 Cleaning Units.

This gas-powered unit's Lifan engine is convenient and reliable, thanks to its dual starting mechanism: you may freely choose between the more modern electric start, or the old-school pull-start mechanism. However, it should be noted that the 12V battery that is mandatory for the electric start is not included.

A fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 1.75 gallon is used to store gasoline.

Design & Handling

The wheelbarrow design of the Lifan LFQ4515E-Elite grants mobility and stability to the unit. Its sturdy stainless steel frame provides longevity to the assembly. The folding handle enhances its mobility, while allowing for a convenient storage.

This model weighs 120 lbs. For this reason, it cannot be called lightweight and thus, carrying and transporting it might be somewhat challenging. Its 420 cc Lifan engine, the triplex pump and stainless steel frame are mainly responsible for its heavy weight. However, the device’s two 13" never-flat wheels play a key role in its maneuverability, as they allow it to be manipulated smoothly.

Main Features

The Lifan LFQ4515E-Elite's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.

  • Soap injection: Even though the device doesn't have a soap tank, detergent is supplied by a siphon hose. The Lifan LFQ4515E-Elite has an automatic soap dilution mechanism, which dilutes the detergent using a 7:1 ratio. Whenever a soap nozzle is connected, the detergent is automatically added to the water.
  • Pressure hose: The 50 ft high-pressure hose (5000 PSI rating), which is included with the device, can be stored neatly on the unit itself when idle, using a set of convenient hooks.
  • Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
  • 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.

  • Onboard storage: With the Lifan LFQ4515E-Elite's handy storage area, you’ll always have all the necessary nozzles and accessories at hand and thus, you’ll be fully prepared for any job.
  • Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation), a low oil protection and a thermal relief valve (which helps to prevent internal pump damage).
  • Accessories: Besides the usual owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and documentation to get you promptly started, the Lifan LFQ4515E-Elite comes with spray gun, wand, pressure hose and soap hose.
  • Emissions: The Lifan LFQ4515E-Elite is NOT CARB-compliant and so you cannot buy it nor sell it in California.
