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:
- targeted spot cleaning for hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching elevated areas, and thoroughly removing stubborn stains
- overall cleaning of hard surfaces, washing vehicles, and prepping surfaces for painting
- gentle cleaning for sensitive surfaces, and wide coverage cleaning with low pressure
- applying detergents and cleaning agents, and rinsing off surfaces
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
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.
To start the Westinghouse engine of this gas-powered washer, users employ the familiar pull-start technique.
Containing gasoline, the pressure washer's fuel tank can hold a maximum of 0.9 gallon.
Design & Handling
The Westinghouse WPX3200 boasts great mobility, courtesy of its convenient 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.
Weighing 63 lbs, this unit offers a manageable weight that allows for easy handling by most individuals. Its 212cc Westinghouse engine and steel tubing frame account for a good chunk of that weight. Nevertheless, the WPX3200's two 12" never-flat wheels ensure it remains easy to maneuver.
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 0.5 gal tank ensures storage for detergent within the pressure washer. However, since the Westinghouse WPX3200 does not feature a soap dilution mechanism, you'll have to make sure your detergent is correctly diluted before use. Attachment of a soap nozzle prompts the pressure washer to automatically introduce and blend the detergent with the water.
- Pressure hose: With a set of convenient hooks, the unit offers a practical solution for maintaining workspace order, allowing the included 25 ft ⌀5/16" high-pressure hose (3100 PSI rating) to be neatly stored when idle.
- Spray gun: The included ergonomic EnduraGrasp spray gun can be easily stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: The following table provides information on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface uses.
0° | 15° | 25° | 40° | Soap | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete, brick, masonry | |||||

Other Features
- Onboard storage: The Westinghouse WPX3200 features a handy storage area, which allows you to neatly store nozzles and accessories and be always prepared by having everything needed at hand.
- Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a thermal relief valve (which helps to prevent internal pump damage) and a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation).
- Accessories: On top of an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and the usual documentation to get you swiftly started, the Westinghouse WPX3200 also comes with funnel, oil, nozzle cleaner, pressure hose, tool kit and spray gun.
