Description
Zoom on the WEN PW23V
In summary, the WEN PW23V is a medium duty pressure washer, that offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and also:
- pinpoint spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, accessing high areas, and successfully removing stubborn stains
- overall cleaning of hard surfaces, washing vehicles, and prepping surfaces for painting
- soft cleaning of delicate surfaces, and gentle cleaning for larger areas with low pressure
- applying detergent and cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
The WEN PW23V's axial cam pump, powered by a 13-amp universal motor, can provide a pressure of up to 2300 PSI (approximately 38 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow 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. Thus, the WEN PW23V achieves a cleaning power of 2310 Cleaning Units.
As an electric pressure washer, the PW23V's motor is effortlessly activated with a simple ON/OFF switch, ensuring convenient operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
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.
With its lightweight construction, tipping the scales at only 20 lbs, this unit is a portable powerhouse for all your cleaning needs. Thanks in part to its plastic frame, it remains lightweight. In addition to its lightweight build, the inclusion of two 7" never-flat wheels ensures easy mobility and handling.
Main Features
Along with the WEN PW23V 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.
- Pressure hose: With a convenient hose reel, which also improves its lifespan, the unit offers a practical solution for maintaining workspace order, allowing the included 25 ft high-pressure hose to be neatly stored when idle.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its versatile wand can be easily stored in a side hook. 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 PW23V also comes with power cord, foam cannon (to add cleaning solutions to the water), nozzle cleaner, wand, spray gun and pressure hose.
