Description
Zoom on the Stanley SXPW3124
In summary, the Stanley SXPW3124 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, which provides:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces or high reach areas
- intense cleaning of tough, paintless surfaces
- cleaning of painted and fragile surfaces
- applying 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
Using a 196cc engine, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of up to 3100 PSI (roughly 52 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.4 GPM (CETA-certified values). Together, the values result in a cleaning power of 7440 Cleaning Units.
The Stanley 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 0.26 gallon.
Design & Handling
Thanks to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D22 x W17.8 x H35.5 in, the Stanley SXPW3124 offers great mobility. The strong welded steel frame assures assembly longevity. The handle adds to the SXPW3124 convenience of transport.
With a weight of 70 lbs, the unit can be easily maneuvered by most users. Its 196cc Stanley engine and welded steel frame account for a good chunk of that weight. However, the two 12" never-flat wheels allow the SXPW3124 to be easily manipulated and maneuvered.

- 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: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
