Power
With a powerful 212cc engine powering it, the axial cam pump of this unit are capable of achieving a pressure of 3000 PSI (approximately 50 times greater than that of a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 2.3 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 6900 Cleaning Units.
Starting the engine of this gas pressure washer involves using a conventional pull-start method.
Containing gasoline, the pressure washer's fuel tank can hold a maximum of 0.95 gallon.
Design & Handling
The Westinghouse WPX3000 boasts great mobility, courtesy of its convenient hand truck design. The durable steel tubing frame of the assembly ensures its longevity, providing stability and shielding internal components from damage, even in tough conditions. The rubber-padded handle adds to the WPX3000 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
This unit, weighing 50.7 lbs, strikes a comfortable balance between portability and stability, ensuring easy maneuvering for users of various strengths. This weight is largely influenced by the presence of the 212cc engine and a robust steel tubing frame. Yet, its two 12" never-flat wheels ensure the WPX3000 remains effortlessly maneuverable.
Main Features
Along with the Westinghouse WPX3000 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
