Description
Zoom on the WEN PW23V
In a nutshell, the WEN PW23V is a medium duty pressure washer, which not only offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, but that also allows:
- pinpoint spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, accessing high areas, and successfully removing stubborn stains
- complete cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface prep for painting
- mild cleaning for delicate surfaces, and low-pressure cleaning for broader areas
- applying detergents or chemicals, and rinsing surfaces afterward
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.
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
Featuring a portable design and approximate dimensions of D11.6 x W11.1 x H31 in, the WEN PW23V underscores its dedication to mobility. 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. Complementing its lightweight frame, two 7" never-flat wheels are integrated, facilitating effortless transportation.
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: 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: A side hook allows for an easy storage of 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: Besides the usual owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and documentation to get you promptly started, the WEN PW23V comes with wand, foam cannon (to add cleaning solutions to the water), power cord, spray gun, pressure hose and nozzle cleaner.
