Description
Zoom on the Stanley SXPW2823
In a nutshell, the Stanley SXPW2823 is a medium to heavy duty pressure washer that allows:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces or high reach areas
- intense cleaning of tough, paintless surfaces
- cleaning of painted and frail surfaces
- applying detergent and cleaning solutions
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
The Stanley SXPW2823
With a 196 cc engine, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of 2800 PSI (roughly 47 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.3 GPM (CETA-certified values), resulting in the Stanley SXPW2823's cleaning power of 6440 Cleaning Units.
A classic pull-start mechanism is responsible for starting the gas-powered pressure washer’s Stanley engine.
Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.26 gallon.
Design & Handling
Thanks to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D22 x W17.8 x H35.5 in, the Stanley SXPW2823 offers great mobility. 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. Its 196 cc Stanley engine and welded steel frame account for a good chunk of that weight. Since the SXPW2823 has a set of two 12" never-flat wheels, it is still easily maneuvered and manipulated.
