Description
Zoom on the Westinghouse WPX3000e
The Westinghouse WPX3000e, a heavy duty pressure washer, gives its user an all-around versatile cleaning experience, topped off by the following features:
- pinpoint spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, accessing high areas, and successfully removing stubborn stains
- broad cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface preparation for painting
- applying detergents and cleaning agents, and rinsing off surfaces
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
With a 13-amp universal motor, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of 3000 PSI (roughly 50 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.76 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). While these PSI and GPM values represent the maximum capabilities of the washer under specific conditions, it's important to note that under typical usage, the working pressure is 2600 PSI and the flow rate is 1.1 GPM, resulting in the Westinghouse WPX3000e's cleaning power of 2860 Cleaning Units.
With its electric design, the WPX3000e starts up effortlessly with a quick press of an ON/OFF switch, ensuring ease of use. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
Enhanced mobility is a key feature of the Westinghouse WPX3000e, thanks to its hand truck design. The robust steel frame guarantees longevity of the assembly, providing stability and protection for internal components, even under demanding working conditions. The rubber-padded fixed handle adds to the WPX3000e convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
Weighing 36.8 lbs, this unit offers a manageable weight that allows for easy handling by most individuals. This substantial weight can be partially attributed to the incorporation of the motor and a resilient steel frame. Nevertheless, the WPX3000e's two 10" never-flat wheels ensure it remains easy to maneuver.
Main Features
The Westinghouse WPX3000e comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: A 0.45 gal tank ensures storage for detergent within the pressure washer. Connection of a soap nozzle triggers the pressure washer to automatically incorporate the detergent into the water stream.
- Pressure hose: With a set of convenient hooks, the unit provides a convenient way to store the included 25 ft ⌀25/64" high-pressure hose when not in use, keeping it organized and readily accessible.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzles: Below, you'll find a table outlining the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surfaces.
