Power
The Stanley SXPW2823
The Stanley SXPW2823's axial cam pump, powered by a 196 cc engine, can provide a pressure of up to 2800 PSI (approximately 47 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.3 GPM (CETA-certified values). The Stanley SXPW2823 thus has a cleaning power of 6440 Cleaning Units.
A classic pull-start mechanism is responsible for starting the gas-powered pressure washer’s Stanley engine.
Gasoline storage is facilitated by a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.26 gallon.
Design & Handling
With its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D22 x W17.8 x H35.5 in, the Stanley SXPW2823 provides great mobility. Its sturdy welded steel frame provides longevity to the assembly. The handle adds to the SXPW2823 convenience of transport.
The majority of users will be able to maneuver this unit easily, it only weighs 55.9 lbs. Its 196 cc Stanley engine and welded steel frame all add up to a substantial part of that weight. Since the SXPW2823 has a set of two 12" never-flat wheels, it is still easily maneuvered and manipulated.

The Stanley SXPW2823
The Stanley SXPW2823's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
