Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
With a 13-amp universal motor powering it, the axial cam pump of this unit are capable of achieving a pressure of 2300 PSI (approximately 38 times greater than 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. Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 2310 Cleaning Units.
The PW23V, an electric washer, 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.

Emphasizing mobility as a core feature, the WEN PW23V boasts a portable design and approximate dimensions of D11.6 x W11.1 x H31 in. The handle adds to the PW23V convenience of transport.
Weighing in at a mere 20 lbs, this unit is designed for effortless portability and convenience. The use of an plastic frame helps maintain its lightweight build. In addition to its lightweight build, the inclusion of two 7" never-flat wheels ensures easy mobility and handling.
