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
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.

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.

- 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.
