In summary, the PowerStroke PS14120B is a light duty pressure washer, which provides:

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
With a 13 amp motor, its axial pump delivers a pressure of 1600 PSI (roughly 27 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.2 GPM (values as per PW101-2010), resulting in the PowerStroke PS14120B's cleaning power of 1920 Cleaning Units.

Design & Handling
With its portable design and approximate dimensions of L31.3 x W10.8 x H20.2 in, the PowerStroke PS14120B makes mobility one of its core strengths. The folding handle enhances its mobility, while allowing for a convenient storage.
With a weight of only 28.4 lbs, the unit is very easy to carry around. Its plastic frame certainly plays a key role in this light weight. As if this lightweight wasn't enough, the device also features two 7" never-flat wheels to further improve its ease of use and of transport.
