Zoom on the WEN PW3400
The WEN PW3400, a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, gives its user an all-around versatile cleaning experience, topped off by the following features:
- targeted spot cleaning for hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching elevated areas, and thoroughly 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
- utilizing cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces clean
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 an impressive 212cc engine, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of 3400 PSI (roughly 57 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.7 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer), resulting in the WEN PW3400's cleaning power of 9180 Cleaning Units.
The engine of this gas-powered pressure washer is initiated by a classic pull-start mechanism.
Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.9 gallon.
Design & Handling
The WEN PW3400's mobility is greatly enhanced by its hand truck design. With its strong steel tubing frame, the assembly is built to last, providing stability and safeguarding internal components, even in challenging environments. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the PW3400 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
This unit, weighing 60 lbs, strikes a comfortable balance between portability and stability, ensuring easy maneuvering for users of various strengths. Its 212cc engine and steel tubing frame account for a good chunk of that weight. Despite this, the PW3400's two 10" never-flat wheels ensure effortless maneuverability.
