Description
Zoom on the Westinghouse ePX3100v
In summary, the Westinghouse ePX3100v is a medium duty pressure washer, that offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and also:
- thorough cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces
- use of detergent and cleaning solutions
- intense cleaning of hard surfaces
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
Using a 13 amp universal motor, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of up to 2100 PSI (roughly 35 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.76 GPM (values as per CSA testing standards). These are the maximum values that the washer can reach only under specific conditions. Under typical load, working pressure is 1800 PSI and rated flow is 1.2 GPM. Together, the values result in a cleaning power of 2160 Cleaning Units.
As it is an electric pressure washer, the motor of the ePX3100v gets easily started by a simple ON/OFF switch. 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 L15 x W8 x H11 in, the Westinghouse ePX3100v makes mobility one of its core strengths. The handle adds to the ePX3100v convenience of transport. The handle is molded in the frame to ensure that it will never fall apart.
With a weight of only 18 lbs, the unit is very easy to carry around. Its plastic frame certainly plays a key role in this light weight. This light weight compensates for the fact that the ePX3100v doesn't have any wheels, as it's not something necessary.
Main Features
The Westinghouse ePX3100v's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 3 nozzles and a detergent addition feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap addition: Detergent is added to the water at the exit, by attaching the included foam cannon to the end of the wand.
- Pressure hose: The unit comes with an easy-to-connect 25 ft ⌀25/64" high-pressure hose. However, it doesn't feature any proper storage solution for it (no reel, strap or hook).
- Spray gun and wand: The device comes with a classic ergonomic spray gun and a steel wand.
- Nozzles: The table below shows you the 3 included nozzles, as well as the surfaces they're the most appropriate for.
