Description

Zoom on the PowerStroke PS142012

The PowerStroke PS142012, a medium duty pressure washer, gives its user an all-around versatile cleaning experience, topped off by the following features:

  • thorough cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces
  • cleaning of painted and fragile surfaces
  • use of detergent and cleaning solutions
  • intense cleaning of hard surfaces

Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.

Power

The PowerStroke PS142012's aluminum axial pump, powered by a 13 amp induction motor, can provide a pressure of up to 2000 PSI (approximately 33 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.2 GPM (values as per PW101-2010). The PowerStroke PS142012 thus has a cleaning power of 2400 Cleaning Units.

The PS142012 is an electric pressure washer and thus, can be easily started by an ON/OFF switch. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.

Design & Handling

The PowerStroke PS142012 is very mobile, due to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D24 x W18 x H36 in. The robust and sturdy metal frame offers longevity to the assembly. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the PS142012 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.

With a weight of only 45 lbs, the unit is very easy to carry around. To further improve its transportability and ease of use, the unit also features a set of two 10" never-flat wheels.

Main Features

The PowerStroke PS142012 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.

  • Soap injection: Detergent storage is ensured by a 1 gal tank. The PowerStroke PS142012 includes an automatic soap dilution mechanism, which will dilute the detergent using a 20:1 ratio. If a soap nozzle is attached, the device will proceed to add the detergent to the water automatically.
  • Pressure hose: An easy-to-connect 25 ft high-pressure hose is included with the unit. However, it doesn't feature any proper storage solution for it (no reel, strap or hook).
  • Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
  • Nozzles: The 5 included nozzles, and the respective surfaces they’re appropriate for, are listed in the table below.

The PowerStroke PS142012's performance versus other pressure washers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the PowerStroke PS142012 compared to similarly priced pressure washers.

This unit is now discontinued, but used to be sold around $180.

  • With its 2000 PSI max pressure output, the PowerStroke PS142012 was in the expected pressure range, for electric units in the $170-200 price range. In case you are looking for a device with the highest possible power of its water stream, one of the top achievers in this price range is the Westinghouse EPX3500 with a PSI of 2500.
  • In the aforementioned price range, this washer, with 1.2 GPM (gallons per minute), was 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 EPX3500, which can reach up to 1.76 GPM.
  • With the PS142012's 2400 Cleaning Units (PSI X GPM), its cleaning efficiency range was considered average, compared to electric units of similar price. If you consider the highest overall cleaning power as a really important factor, the Pulsar PWE2000 and its 3200 Cleaning Units has one of the highest cleaning efficiency of all the similarly priced units.
