Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
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.
The PW23V initiates operation effortlessly with a straightforward ON/OFF switch. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
The WEN PW23V's commitment to mobility is evident through its portable design and approximate dimensions of D11.6 x W11.1 x H31 in. The handle adds to the PW23V convenience of transport.
With a weight of only 20 lbs, this lightweight unit is effortlessly portable, making it ideal for tasks that require frequent movement or transport around your home or property. Its lightweight construction is partially attributed to its plastic frame. In addition to its lightweight build, the inclusion of two 7" never-flat wheels ensures easy mobility and handling.
Main Features
The WEN PW23V 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: For easy organization, the included 25 ft high-pressure hose can be stored on the unit using a convenient hose reel, which also improves its lifespan when it's not in use, ensuring a clutter-free workspace.
- Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its versatile wand may be conveniently 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: Included with the WEN PW23V are also the owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and some basic documentation to get you promptly started, along with several accessories, such as wand, foam cannon (to add cleaning solutions to the water), spray gun, power cord, nozzle cleaner and pressure hose.
