Description
Zoom on the Westinghouse WPX2700e
The Westinghouse WPX2700e, a medium duty pressure washer, gives its user an all-around versatile cleaning experience, topped off by the following features:
- spot cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces and out-of-reach areas
- intense cleaning of tough, paintless surfaces
- application of detergent and cleaning solutions
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
Using a 13 amp induction motor, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of up to 2700 PSI (roughly 45 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.76 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). These are the maximum values that the washer can reach only under specific conditions. Under typical load, working pressure is 2400 PSI and rated flow is 1.1 GPM. Together, the values result in a cleaning power of 2640 Cleaning Units.
Being an electric pressure washer, the Westinghouse WPX2700e's motor can be easily started by a convenient ON/OFF switch. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
The Westinghouse WPX2700e is very mobile, due to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D19 x W18.5 x H37.5 in. The strong steel tubing frame assures assembly longevity. The rubber-padded fixed handle adds to the WPX2700e convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
Because the device weighs just 39.7 lbs, carrying it around is very easy. On top of its light weight, the transportability and ease of use of this model is further improved by the addition of two 10" never-flat wheels.
Main Features
The Westinghouse WPX2700e's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap injection: A safe detergent storage is facilitated by a 0.5 gal tank. If a soap nozzle is attached, the device will proceed to add the detergent to the water automatically.
