Description

Zoom on the Rainier RPX3200

The Rainier RPX3200, 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, paintless surfaces and reaching far-away areas
  • intense cleaning of tough, paintless surfaces
  • cleaning of painted or delicate surfaces
  • application of detergent and cleaning solutions

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 Rainier RPX3200 in use

The Rainier RPX3200

Its aluminum axial cam pump, which utilizes a powerful 212cc 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 of this gas-powered pressure washer relies on an old-school pull-start mechanism to get started.

Gasoline storage is facilitated by a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.9 gallon.

Design & Handling

The Rainier RPX3200 is very mobile, due to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of L21 x W19.5 x H39 in. The robust steel tubing frame guarantees longevity of the assembly. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the RPX3200 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.

Most users can maneuver this model easily, as it weighs just 64 lbs. Its 212cc engine and steel tubing frame all add up to a substantial part of that weight. However, the two 12" never-flat wheels allow the RPX3200 to be easily manipulated and maneuvered.

Main Features

The Rainier RPX3200 in use

The Rainier RPX3200

Along with the Rainier RPX3200 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.

  • Soap injection: Detergent storage is ensured by a 0.5 gal tank. Whenever a soap nozzle is connected, the detergent is automatically added to the water.
  • Pressure hose: The 25 ft ⌀5/16" high-pressure hose (3100 PSI rating), which is included with the device, can be stored neatly on the unit itself when idle, using a set of convenient hooks.
  • Spray gun: The included classic ergonomic spray gun can be easily stored in a side hook.
  • Nozzles: The 5 nozzles included with the device, and the respective surfaces which they’re the most suitable for, are shown in the following table.

  • Onboard storage: Stay prepared for any job with Rainier RPX3200's handy storage area, which allows you to neatly store any nozzles and accessories which you may need for the job.
  • Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a thermal relief valve (which helps to prevent internal pump damage) and a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation).

  • Emissions: The Rainier RPX3200 is EPA-approved and CARB-compliant. This means that this pressure washer can be bought and sold in each of the 50 states, including California.

The Rainier RPX3200's performance versus other pressure washers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the Rainier RPX3200 compare to similarly priced pressure washers.

Note: Even though we couldn’t list its price on this page, our research indicates that some retailers sell this unit around $280.

  • Able to deliver a maximum pressure of 3200 PSI, the Rainier RPX3200 is one of the gas-powered products that can produce the highest water pressure, in the $240 to $300 price range.
  • In the aforementioned price range, the 2.5 GPM (gallons per minute) of this washer makes it one of the better performing units in terms of the delivered volume of water. If maximum rinsing efficiency is your top priority, one of the devices with the highest water flow in the same price range is the Kärcher G3200Q, with a GPM of 2.6.
  • Boasting with 8000 Cleaning Units (PSI X GPM), the RPX3200 is one of the more efficient devices in its respective price range. If you consider the highest overall cleaning power as a really important factor, the Kärcher G3200Q and its 8320 Cleaning Units has one of the highest cleaning efficiency of all the similarly priced units.
