Description

Zoom on the PowerStroke PS80555E

The PowerStroke PS80555E, 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, unpainted surfaces and high-reach cleaning
  • cleaning of painted and frail 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 PowerStroke PS80555E in use

The PowerStroke PS80555E

Its axial cam pump, which utilizes a 196cc engine, may deliver a pressure of up to 3200 PSI (almost 53 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM. These values correspond to a cleaning power of 8000 Cleaning Units.

The engine provides a convenient and reliable start of this gas-powered pressure washer, with a dual start mechanism: you may choose the more convenient electric start, or the classic pull-start mechanism. The electric start requires a battery, which is included.

Gasoline storage is facilitated by a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.26 gallon.

Design & Handling

Thanks to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D20.3 x W17.3 x H37.5 in, the PowerStroke PS80555E offers great mobility. Its sturdy steel tubing frame provides longevity to the assembly. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the PS80555E convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.

The device can be maneuvered with ease by most, since it only weighs 56 lbs. Its 196cc engine and steel tubing frame all add up to a substantial part of that weight. Nethertheless, thanks to its two 12" never-flat wheels, the PS80555E remains very easy to manipulate and maneuver.

Main Features

The PowerStroke PS80555E's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.

  • Soap injection: Detergent storage is ensured by a 1 gal tank. The detergent is diluted with a 20:1 ratio by the PowerStroke PS80555E's automatic soap dilution mechanism. Whenever a soap nozzle is connected, the detergent is automatically added to the water.
  • Pressure hose: The included 25 ft high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when idle thanks to a set of easy-to-use straps.
  • Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
  • Nozzles: The table below shows you the 4 included nozzles, as well as the surfaces they're the most appropriate for.

  • Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation) and a thermal relief valve (which helps to prevent internal pump damage).
  • Accessories: On top of an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and the usual documentation to get you swiftly started, the PowerStroke PS80555E also comes with battery charger, oil, spray gun, pressure hose, wand and funnel.
  • Emissions: The PowerStroke PS80555E is CARB-compliant, which means that it’s purchase and sale is legal in any of the 50 states, including California.

The PowerStroke PS80555E's performance versus other pressure washers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the PowerStroke PS80555E compared to similarly priced pressure washers.

This unit is now discontinued, but used to be sold around $350.

  • The PowerStroke PS80555E, with a max water pressure of 3200 PSI, had one of the higher PSI values of the gas-powered products in the $300-400 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 WPX3400 with a PSI of 3400.
  • As this washer can produce a flow of water of 2.5 GPM (gallons per minute), it was average in terms of water volume for the above-mentioned price range. In case you are looking for a device which can most efficiently rinse away debris in the current price range, the Lifan LFQ3370 has the highest GPM of 3.
  • Boasting with 8000 Cleaning Units (PSI X GPM), the PS80555E was one of the more efficient devices in its respective price range. In case you are looking for the highest overall cleaning power, in this price range, one of the current champions is the Lifan LFQ3370 and its 9900 Cleaning Units.
