- spot cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces and out-of-reach areas

- applying detergent and cleaning solutions
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
The Stanley SXPW2823
Powered by a 196cc engine, its axial cam pump can deliver a pressure of 2800 PSI (around 47 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.3 GPM (CETA-certified values). Combined, these values mean that the Stanley SXPW2823 has a cleaning power of 6440 Cleaning Units.
The Stanley engine of this gas-powered pressure washer relies on an old-school pull-start mechanism to get started.
A fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.26 gallon is used to store gasoline.
Design & Handling
The Stanley SXPW2823 is very mobile, due to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D22 x W17.8 x H35.5 in. The robust welded steel frame guarantees longevity of the assembly. The handle adds to the SXPW2823 convenience of transport.
The device can be maneuvered with ease by most, since it only weighs 55.9 lbs. A major component of its weight are its 196cc Stanley engine and welded steel frame. However, the two 12" never-flat wheels allow the SXPW2823 to be easily manipulated and maneuvered.
