Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
Powered by a 13-amp universal motor, its axial cam pump can generate a forceful pressure of 2300 PSI (roughly 38 times that of a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 1.4 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). 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. When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 2310 Cleaning Units.
With its electric design, the PW2300 starts up effortlessly with a quick press of an ON/OFF switch, ensuring ease of use. 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.
This unit's weight of 21.3 lbs makes it a breeze to carry around, perfect for on-the-go cleaning tasks. Its plastic frame plays a role in ensuring its lightweight profile. Adding to its lightweight construction, two 5.5" never-flat wheels are included, simplifying mobility and transport.
Main Features
