Description
Zoom on the Powermate PM2100
The Powermate PM2100, a medium duty 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
- cleaning of painted and fragile surfaces
- use of detergent and cleaning solutions
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
The Powermate PM2100
Its axial cam pump, which utilizes a 13 amp universal motor, may deliver a pressure of up to 2100 PSI (almost 35 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.35 GPM. PSI is the maximum value and can usually be reached only at initial discharge. Under typical load, the unit's rated pressure is 1550 PSI. These values correspond to a cleaning power of 2092.5 Cleaning Units.
Being an electric pressure washer, the Powermate PM2100's motor can be easily started by a convenient ON/OFF switch. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
With its portable design and approximate dimensions of D12.1 x W15.1 x H32.2 in, the Powermate PM2100 makes mobility one of its core strengths. The handle adds to the PM2100 convenience of transport.
The unit can be very easily carried around, as it weighs just 22.4 lbs. Its plastic frame certainly plays a key role in this light weight. To further improve its transportability and ease of use, the unit also features a set of two 6" never-flat wheels.
Main Features
Along with the Powermate PM2100 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, a nozzle tip and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap injection: Detergent is stored in a removable 0.26 gal tank. To add detergent to the water, the adjustable nozzle must be disconnected from the trigger gun.
- Pressure hose: The 20 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose (6380 PSI rating), which is included with the device, can be stored neatly on the unit itself when idle, using a convenient hose reel, which also improves its lifespan.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a dedicated slot.
- Nozzle: an adjustable nozzle is included. It lets you adjust the spray pattern from a full fan spray (widest spray width) to a direct stream spray (narrowest spray width).
Other Features
Some of the included accessories
- Auto-Stop Switch: This feature automatically shuts off the pressure washer when the trigger is not engaged, to prolong the pump's lifespan.
- Onboard storage: The Powermate PM2100 features a handy storage area, which allows you to neatly store nozzles and accessories and be always prepared by having everything needed at hand.
- Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation).
- Accessories: Included with the Powermate PM2100 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 spray gun, nozzle cleaner, power cord, wand and pressure hose.

- The Powermate PM2100, with a max water pressure of 2100 PSI, has one of the higher PSI values of the electric products in the $120-150 price range. If the highest possible power of the water stream is your priority, one of the champions in this price range is the Simpson CM60976 with 2300 PSI.
- In the aforementioned price range, this washer, with 1.35 GPM (gallons per minute), is placed on the lower end of the GPM scale. If rinsing away debris most efficiently is your priority, one of the devices with the highest GPM in this price range is the Westinghouse ePX3050, which can reach up to 1.76 GPM.
- The 2092.5 Cleaning Units, of the PM2100 sit at an average, in reference to other electric units of similar price. If the highest overall cleaning power is your top priority, the Westinghouse ePX3050, which can reach up to 3608 Cleaning Units, is one of the most efficient of the devices in the current price range.
