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 a 13-amp motor, may deliver a pressure of up to 2300 PSI (almost 38 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.76 GPM. While these PSI and GPM values represent the maximum capabilities of the washer under specific conditions, it's important to note that under typical usage, the working pressure is 1900 PSI and the flow rate is 1.2 GPM. Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 2280 Cleaning Units.
As an electric pressure washer, the ePX3100's motor is effortlessly activated with a simple ON/OFF switch, ensuring convenient operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
With its portable design and approximate dimensions of D13.5 x W14 x H16.5 in, the Westinghouse ePX3100 priotirizes mobility one of its key features. The handle adds to the ePX3100 convenience of transport. The handle is securely embedded within the frame, ensuring reliable durability and preventing any potential separation.
Weighing in at a mere 19 lbs, this unit is designed for effortless portability and convenience. Its plastic frame plays a role in ensuring its lightweight profile. Complementing its lightweight frame, four solid wheels are integrated, facilitating effortless transportation.
Main Features
The Westinghouse ePX3100 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: A 0.16 gal tank ensures storage for detergent within the pressure washer. Due to the absence of a soap dilution feature, users of the Westinghouse ePX3100 must ensure detergent is correctly diluted prior to use. When a soap nozzle is connected, the pressure washer takes the initiative to mix the detergent with the water flow automatically.
- Pressure hose: With a set of convenient hooks, the unit offers a practical solution for maintaining workspace order, allowing the included 25 ft ⌀5/16" high-pressure hose to be neatly stored when idle.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzles: Below, you'll find a table outlining the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surfaces.

User Reviews
I was very satisfied with the design and operation of the ePX3000 pressure washer. This washer was my replacement for an older competitor’s unit. The improvements: higher pressure, higher flow rate and multiple spray nozzles; and unit’s stability with low profile (will not tip over).
My first job was to clean our sandstone retainer wall from dirty black algae to light beige, done much quicker and easier than previous unit. Next will be cleaning the driveway and garage floor.
Great for homeowner.
