Description
Zoom on the WEN PW2000
The WEN PW2000, a medium duty pressure washer, gives its user an all-around versatile cleaning experience, topped off by the following features:
- pinpoint spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, accessing high areas, and successfully removing stubborn stains
- general cleaning of hard surfaces , washing vehicles, and preparing surfaces for painting

Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
The WEN PW2000's axial cam pump, powered by a 13-amp universal motor, can provide a pressure of up to 2000 PSI (approximately 33 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.4 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). While these PSI and GPM values represent the maximum capabilities of the washer under specific conditions, it's important to note that under typical usage, the working pressure is 1500 PSI and the flow rate is 1.2 GPM. Thus, the WEN PW2000 achieves a cleaning power of 1800 Cleaning Units.
As an electric pressure washer, the PW2000 initiates operation effortlessly with a straightforward ON/OFF switch. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
Designed for on-the-go use, the WEN PW2000 offers a portable design and approximate dimensions of L15.8 x W8.7 x H7.9 in to facilitate easy movement. The handle adds to the PW2000 convenience of transport.
With a weight of only 15.1 lbs, this lightweight unit is effortlessly portable, making it ideal for tasks that require frequent movement or transport around your home or property. Its lightweight construction is partially attributed to its plastic frame. Its briefcase-style design ensures an increadible ease of handling and transportation.
Main Features
Along with the WEN PW2000 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose and a detergent addition feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap addition: Detergent is added to the water at the exit, by attaching the included foam cannon to the end of the gun.
