Description
Zoom on the Westinghouse WPX3200
The Westinghouse WPX3200 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:
- focused spot cleaning on hard, unpainted surfaces, accessing high spots, and efficiently eliminating stubborn stains
- complete cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface prep for painting
- gentle cleaning of delicate surfaces, and low pressure cleaning of larger areas
- 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
Powered by a powerful 212cc engine, its aluminum axial cam pump can deliver a pressure of 3200 PSI (around 53 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). With these values combined, the Westinghouse WPX3200 boasts a cleaning power of 8000 Cleaning Units.
Initiating the Westinghouse engine of this gas pressure washer is achieved through a classic pull-start process.
Containing gasoline, the pressure washer's fuel tank can hold a maximum of 0.9 gallon.
Design & Handling
Enhanced mobility is a key feature of the Westinghouse WPX3200, thanks to its hand truck design. The steel tubing frame's robustness ensures the assembly's longevity, maintaining stability and protecting internal components, even in the harshest environments. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the WPX3200 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
With a weight of 63 lbs, this unit is designed for ease of maneuverability, catering to a wide range of users. Its 212cc Westinghouse engine and steel tubing frame account for a good chunk of that weight. Despite this, the WPX3200's two 12" never-flat wheels ensure effortless maneuverability.
Main Features
The Westinghouse WPX3200 comes with a spray gun, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: A safe detergent storage is facilitated by a 0.5 gal tank. Due to the absence of a soap dilution feature, users of the Westinghouse WPX3200 must ensure detergent is correctly diluted prior to use. The pressure washer automatically dispenses and mixes the detergent with the water when a soap nozzle is attached.
- Pressure hose: When not in use, the unit allows for tidy storage of the included 25 ft ⌀5/16" high-pressure hose (3100 PSI rating) using a set of convenient hooks, ensuring convenient organization.
- Spray gun: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included ergonomic EnduraGrasp spray gun.
- Nozzles: Refer to the table below for details on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications.
