Zoom on the WEN PW2200
In summary, the WEN PW2200 is a medium duty pressure washer, which provides:
- targeted spot cleaning for hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching elevated areas, and thoroughly removing stubborn stains
- comprehensive cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and readying surfaces for painting
- soft cleaning of delicate surfaces, and gentle cleaning for larger areas with low pressure
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
The WEN PW2200's axial pump, powered by a 13-amp universal motor, can provide a pressure of up to 2200 PSI (approximately 37 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.65 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 1700 PSI and the flow rate is 1.2 GPM. Thus, the WEN PW2200 achieves a cleaning power of 2040 Cleaning Units.
The PW2200 easily starts up with the press of an ON/OFF switch, providing seamless operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
Prioritizing ease of transportation, the WEN PW2200 incorporates a portable design and approximate dimensions of L22.4 x W12.9 x H13.8 in. The handle adds to the PW2200 convenience of transport.
This unit's low weight of 22.05 lbs ensures easy maneuverability, allowing you to tackle cleaning projects with minimal effort. Partly owing to its plastic frame, it maintains its lightweight construction. Enhancing its already lightweight design, the unit boasts four never-flat wheels, making transportation effortless.
Main Features
Along with the WEN PW2200 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 3 nozzles 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 wand.
