Description
Zoom on the Westinghouse WPX3000
In a nutshell, the Westinghouse WPX3000 is a heavy duty pressure washer, which not only offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, but that also allows:
- targeted spot cleaning for hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching elevated areas, and thoroughly removing stubborn stains
- gentle cleaning for sensitive surfaces, and wide coverage cleaning with low pressure
- applying detergent and cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
With an impressive 212cc engine powering it, the axial cam pump of this unit is 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.
For this gas-powered pressure washer, the engine is started using a time-tested pull-start mechanism.
Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.95 gallon.
Design & Handling
The hand truck design of the Westinghouse WPX3000 ensures effortless movement and transportation. Built to endure, the steel tubing frame ensures the assembly's longevity by providing stability and safeguarding internal components under all working conditions. The rubber-padded handle adds to the WPX3000 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
With a weight of 50.7 lbs, this unit is designed for ease of maneuverability, catering to a wide range of users. A significant portion of this weight is attributed to the inclusion of the 212cc engine and a sturdy steel tubing frame. Even so, the WPX3000's two 12" never-flat wheels maintain easy maneuverability.
Main Features
The Westinghouse WPX3000's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap injection: Even though the device doesn't have a soap tank, detergent is supplied by a siphon hose. Upon connecting a soap nozzle, the pressure washer takes over the task of seamlessly combining the detergent with the water flow.
- Pressure hose: For easy organization, the included 25 ft ⌀5/16" high-pressure hose can be stored on the unit using a set of convenient hooks when it's not in use, ensuring a clutter-free workspace.
- Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its steel wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: Refer to the table below for details on the 4 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications.
