Description

Remember when your driveway wasn’t covered with a layer of dirt and grime? The WEN 3100 PSI Pressure Washer blasts away unwanted filth to bring back the clean and pristine surface hiding underneath.

Zoom on the WEN PW3100

The WEN PW3100, a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, gives its user an all-around versatile cleaning experience, topped off by the following features:

  • spot cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces and out-of-reach areas
  • thorough cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces
  • cleaning of painted and fragile surfaces
  • application of detergent and cleaning solutions

Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.

Power

With a powerful 208cc engine, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of 3100 PSI (roughly 52 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer), resulting in the WEN PW3100's cleaning power of 7750 Cleaning Units.

The engine of this gas-powered pressure washer relies on an old-school pull-start mechanism to get started.

Gasoline storage is facilitated by a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.9 gallon.

Design & Handling

With its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D26 x W19.5 x H39.5 in, the WEN PW3100 provides great mobility. The robust steel frame guarantees longevity of the assembly. The rubber-padded handle adds to the PW3100 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.

Weighing 67 lbs, the unit is easy to maneuver by most people. Its 208cc engine and steel frame account for a good chunk of that weight. The PW3100 can still be easily manipulated and maneuvered, thanks to its two 12" never-flat wheels.

Main Features

Along with the WEN PW3100 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.

  • Soap injection: Detergent storage is ensured by a 0.25 gal tank. As the WEN PW3100 doesn’t include a soap dilution mechanism, the user must provide a correctly diluted detergent before proceeding to use it. The detergent will be added automatically to the water when a soap nozzle is attached.
  • Pressure hose: The included 30 ft ⌀5/16" high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when idle thanks to a set of convenient hooks.
  • Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its stainless steel wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
  • Nozzles: The 5 nozzles included with the device, and the respective surfaces which they’re the most suitable for, are shown in the following table.

    This seems to have the same 208 cc engine that powered the 3200 psi unit that was sold last year and does not start the next year. Think in thos equipment if you want to invest in an equipment for a single season. Look somewhere else otherwise.

    + PROS: Worked twice
    - CONS: Does not start
