Description
Remember when your driveway wasn’t covered with a layer of dirt and grime? The WEN 3200 PSI Pressure Washer blasts away unwanted filth to bring back the clean and pristine surface hiding underneath.
Zoom on the WEN PW3200
The WEN PW3200 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:
- focused spot cleaning on hard, unpainted surfaces, accessing high spots, and efficiently eliminating stubborn stains
- comprehensive cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and readying surfaces for painting
- gentle cleaning for sensitive surfaces, and wide coverage cleaning with low pressure
- applying detergents or chemicals, and rinsing surfaces afterward
The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics and design, its main features and all the additional features it has to offer.
Power
With a powerful 208cc engine, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of 3200 PSI (roughly 53 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 PW3200's cleaning power of 8000 Cleaning Units.
Initiating the engine of this gas pressure washer is achieved through a classic pull-start process.
Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.9 gallon.
Design & Handling
With its hand truck design, the WEN PW3200 provides excellent maneuverability. The steel frame's robustness ensures the assembly's longevity, maintaining stability and protecting internal components, even in the harshest environments. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the PW3200 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
Weighing 67 lbs, this unit offers a manageable weight that allows for easy handling by most individuals. A significant portion of this weight is attributed to the inclusion of the 208cc engine and a sturdy steel frame. Yet, its two 12" wheels ensure the PW3200 remains effortlessly maneuverable.
Main Features
Along with the WEN PW3200 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. When a soap nozzle is connected, the pressure washer takes the initiative to mix the detergent with the water flow automatically.
- Pressure hose: The included 30 ft ⌀5/16" high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when not in use, utilizing a set of convenient hooks for convenient organization.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its stainless steel wand.
- Nozzles: In the table below, you can see the 5 included nozzles alongside their respective recommended surface uses.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete, brick, masonry | |||||

- Capable of delivering a maximum pressure of 3200 PSI, the WEN PW3200 is one of the gas-powered products known for providing higher-than-average water pressure, within the $300 to $400 price range.
