Description
Zoom on the WEN PW3400
In summary, the WEN PW3400 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, that offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and also:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces and high-reach cleaning
- intense cleaning of tough, paintless surfaces
- cleaning of painted and fragile surfaces
- use of detergent and cleaning solutions
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
The WEN PW3400's axial cam pump, powered by an impressive 212cc engine, can provide a pressure of up to 3400 PSI (approximately 57 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.7 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). The WEN PW3400 thus has a cleaning power of 9180 Cleaning Units.
The engine of this gas-powered pressure washer gets started by a classic pull-start mechanism.
A fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.9 gallon is used to store gasoline.
Design & Handling
The WEN PW3400 offers superb mobility, with a hand truck design. The strong steel tubing frame assures assembly longevity. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the PW3400 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
With a weight of 60 lbs, the unit can be easily maneuvered by most users. Its 212cc engine and steel tubing frame all add up to a substantial part of that weight. Since the PW3400 has a set of two 10" never-flat wheels, it is still easily maneuvered and manipulated.
Main Features
The WEN PW3400 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: Detergent storage is ensured by a 0.25 gal tank. When a soap nozzle is connected, the detergent will be added automatically to the water.
- Pressure hose: The included 30 ft high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when idle thanks to a set of convenient hooks.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzles: The table below shows you the 5 included nozzles, as well as the surfaces they're the most appropriate for.
