Zoom on the Powermate PM2100
In summary, the Powermate PM2100 is a medium duty pressure washer, that offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and also:
- targeted spot cleaning for hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching elevated areas, and thoroughly removing stubborn stains

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
The Powermate PM2100
With a 13-amp universal motor powering it, the axial cam pump of this unit is capable of achieving a pressure of 2100 PSI (approximately 35 times greater than that of a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 1.35 GPM (values as per CSA testing standards). Although the provided PSI represents the maximum achievable value, it's typically only reached at initial discharge. Under normal operating conditions, the unit has a rated pressure of 1550 PSI. Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 2092.5 Cleaning Units.
The PM2100's motor is effortlessly activated with a simple ON/OFF switch, ensuring convenient operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
The Powermate PM2100's commitment to mobility is evident through its portable design and approximate dimensions of D12.1 x W15.1 x H32.2 in. The handle adds to the PM2100 convenience of transport.
This unit's low weight of 22.4 lbs ensures easy maneuverability, allowing you to tackle cleaning projects with minimal effort. Its lightweight construction is partially attributed to its plastic frame. Adding to its lightweight construction, two 6" never-flat wheels are included, simplifying mobility and transport.
Main Features
The Powermate PM2100 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, a nozzle tip and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: The pressure washer features a removable 0.26 gal tank for detergent storage. To add detergent to the water, the adjustable nozzle must be disconnected from the trigger gun.
- Pressure hose: The included 20 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose (6380 PSI rating) can be neatly stored on the unit when not in use, utilizing a convenient hose reel, which also improves its lifespan for convenient organization.
- Spray gun and wand: A dedicated slot allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- 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 function automatically stops the pressure washer when the trigger is released, prolonging 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: Besides the usual owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and documentation to get you promptly started, the Powermate PM2100 comes with pressure hose, spray gun, wand, nozzle cleaner and power cord.
