Description
Zoom on the Stanley SXPW2823
The Stanley SXPW2823 is a medium to heavy duty pressure washer, and enables:
- spot cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces and out-of-reach areas
- intense cleaning of tough, paintless surfaces
- cleaning of painted and frail surfaces
- applying detergent and cleaning solutions
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
Its axial cam pump, which utilizes a 196 cc engine, may deliver a pressure of up to 2800 PSI (almost 47 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.3 GPM. These values correspond to a cleaning power of 6440 Cleaning Units.
A classic pull-start mechanism is responsible for starting the gas-powered pressure washer’s Stanley engine.
A fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.26 gallon is used to store gasoline.
Design & Handling
The Stanley SXPW2823 offers superb mobility, with a hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D22 x W17.8 x H35.5 in. The strong welded steel frame assures assembly longevity. The handle adds to the SXPW2823 convenience of transport.
Most users can maneuver this model easily, as it weighs just 55.9 lbs. One of the largest contributors to its weight are its 196 cc Stanley engine and its welded steel frame. But, as the SXPW2823 does have a set of two 12" never-flat wheels, it can be easily maneuvered and manipulated.
Main Features
Along with the Stanley SXPW2823 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap injection: Detergent is fed in through a siphon hose, since the device lacks a soap tank. The detergent is automatically added to the water when a soap nozzle is connected.
- Pressure hose: A neat storage for the included 25 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose is facilitated by a set of convenient hooks.
- Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: The table below shows you the 5 included nozzles, as well as the surfaces they're the most appropriate for.
