Description
Zoom on the Westinghouse WPX2700
In a nutshell, the Westinghouse WPX2700 is a medium duty pressure washer, which not only offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, but that also allows:
- spot cleaning of hard, paintless surfaces and reaching far-away areas
- cleaning of painted or delicate surfaces
- application of detergent and cleaning solutions
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
Powered by a powerful 212 cc engine, its aluminum axial cam pump can deliver a pressure of 2700 PSI (around 45 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.3 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). Combined, these values mean that the Westinghouse WPX2700 has a cleaning power of 6210 Cleaning Units.
This gas-powered pressure washer’s Westinghouse engine is started by a traditional pull-start mechanism.
Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.9 gallon.
Design & Handling
The Westinghouse WPX2700 offers superb mobility, with a hand truck design and approximate dimensions of L21 x W19.5 x H39 in. The robust and sturdy steel tubing frame offers longevity to the assembly. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the WPX2700 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
Most users can maneuver this model easily, as it weighs just 63 lbs. One of the largest contributors to its weight are its 212 cc Westinghouse engine and its steel tubing frame. But, as the WPX2700 does have a set of two 12" never-flat wheels, it can be easily maneuvered and manipulated.
Main Features
The Westinghouse WPX2700 comes with a spray gun, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: Detergent is stored in a 0.5 gal tank. As the Westinghouse WPX2700 doesn’t include a soap dilution mechanism, the user must provide a correctly diluted detergent before proceeding to use it. Whenever a soap nozzle is connected, the detergent is automatically added to the water.
- Pressure hose: The included 25 ft ⌀5/16" high-pressure hose (2700 PSI rating) can be neatly stored on the unit when idle thanks to a set of convenient hooks.
- Spray gun: The included ergonomic EnduraGrasp spray gun can be easily stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: The 4 included nozzles, and the respective surfaces they’re appropriate for, are listed in the table below.

Bought the WPX2700 on Amazon. It’s my first pressure washer and it is working great so far. Used it to wash my house using 1 gallon of Mold Armor and straight water for rinsing. Easy to assemble, powerful pressure, easy starting, and comes with a standard 3 year residential warranty or a 1 year commercial warranty. So far I’m satisfied with this washer.
I bought this machine used it one time it was brand new it has no pressure it just barely sprays any water at all
