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:
- 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
- gentle cleaning for sensitive surfaces, and wide coverage cleaning with low pressure
- using cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces to remove residue
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
Its axial cam pump, which utilizes an impressive 208cc engine, may deliver a pressure of up to 3200 PSI (almost 53 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM. Corresponding to these values is a 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
The WEN PW3200 boasts great mobility, courtesy of its convenient hand truck design. Guaranteeing longevity, the robust steel frame offers stability and protects internal components, even when subjected to demanding tasks. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the PW3200 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
With a weight of 67 lbs, this unit is designed for ease of maneuverability, catering to a wide range of users. The unit's weight is principally a result of the inclusion of the 208cc engine and a strong 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: A 0.25 gal tank ensures storage for detergent within the pressure washer. Upon connecting a soap nozzle, the pressure washer takes over the task of seamlessly combining the detergent with the water flow.
- Pressure hose: When not in use, the unit allows for tidy storage of the included 30 ft ⌀5/16" high-pressure hose using a set of convenient hooks, ensuring convenient organization.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its stainless steel wand.
