Description
Zoom on the WEN PW2300
The WEN PW2300, a medium duty pressure washer, gives its user an all-around versatile cleaning experience, topped off by the following features:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching high areas, and removing stubborn stains
- broad cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface preparation for painting
- mild cleaning for delicate surfaces, and low-pressure cleaning for broader areas
- applying detergents or chemicals, and rinsing surfaces afterward
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
Its axial cam pump, which utilizes a 13-amp universal motor, may deliver a pressure of up to 2300 PSI (almost 38 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.4 GPM. Although the provided PSI represents the maximum achievable value, it's typically only reached at initial discharge. Under normal operating conditions, the unit has a rated pressure of 1650 PSI. Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 2310 Cleaning Units.
The PW2300 swiftly activates via a simple ON/OFF switch, ensuring user-friendly startup. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
Featuring a portable design and approximate dimensions of D12.8 x W11.6 x H29.9 in, the WEN PW2300 underscores its dedication to mobility. The handle adds to the PW2300 convenience of transport.
With its lightweight construction, tipping the scales at only 21.3 lbs, this unit is a portable powerhouse for all your cleaning needs. The use of an plastic frame helps maintain its lightweight build. As if its lightweight construction wasn't convenient enough, the unit is equipped with two 5.5" never-flat wheels, adding further ease to its transportation and maneuverability.
Main Features
The WEN PW2300 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose and a detergent addition feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap addition: Detergent is added to the water at the exit, by attaching the included foam cannon to the end of the gun.
- Pressure hose: The unit comes equipped with an included 20 ft high-pressure hose, which can be neatly stored on the unit when idle, thanks to a set of convenient hooks, ensuring easy access and organization.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its versatile wand. The adjustable wand lets you adjust the spray pattern from a full fan spray (widest spray width) to a direct stream spray (narrowest spray width).
Other Features
- Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation).
- Accessories: On top of an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and the usual documentation to get you swiftly started, the WEN PW2300 also comes with power cord, foam cannon (to add cleaning solutions to the water), spray gun, nozzle cleaner, wand and pressure hose.
