Description
Zoom on the Westinghouse WPX3200
The Westinghouse WPX3200, a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, gives its user an all-around versatile cleaning experience, topped off by the following features:
- focused spot cleaning on hard, unpainted surfaces, accessing high spots, and efficiently eliminating stubborn stains
- overall cleaning of hard surfaces, washing vehicles, and prepping surfaces for painting
- mild cleaning for delicate surfaces, and low-pressure cleaning for broader areas
- applying detergent and cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces
The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics and design, its main features and all the additional features it has to offer.
Power
Its aluminum axial cam pump, which utilizes an impressive 212cc engine, may deliver a pressure of up to 3200 PSI (almost 53 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM. Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 8000 Cleaning Units.
The Westinghouse engine of this gas pressure washer is activated by pulling a starter cord, following a traditional approach.
Containing gasoline, the pressure washer's fuel tank can hold a maximum of 0.9 gallon.
Design & Handling
The hand truck design of the Westinghouse WPX3200 ensures effortless movement and transportation. Guaranteeing longevity, the robust steel tubing frame offers stability and protects internal components, even when subjected to demanding tasks. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the WPX3200 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
With its 63 lbs weight, this unit offers a manageable size that allows for easy handling by most individuals, enhancing user convenience during operation. This substantial weight can be partially attributed to the incorporation of the 212cc Westinghouse engine and a resilient steel tubing frame. Even so, the WPX3200's two 12" never-flat wheels maintain easy maneuverability.
Main Features
The Westinghouse WPX3200's package includes a spray gun, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap injection: A 0.5 gal tank ensures storage for detergent within the pressure washer. Given the absence of a soap dilution mechanism, users should dilute detergent correctly before operating the Westinghouse WPX3200 pressure washer. The detergent is automatically mixed with the water flow by the pressure washer when a soap nozzle is connected.
- Pressure hose: For easy organization, the included 25 ft ⌀5/16" high-pressure hose (3100 PSI rating) 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: The included ergonomic EnduraGrasp spray gun can be easily stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: In the table below, you can see the 5 included nozzles alongside their respective recommended surface uses.
