Description
Zoom on the Westinghouse WPX3400
The Westinghouse WPX3400 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces and high-reach cleaning
- intense cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces
- cleaning of painted or delicate surfaces
- use of detergent and cleaning solutions
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
With an impressive 212cc engine, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of 3400 PSI (roughly 57 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.6 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer), resulting in the Westinghouse WPX3400's cleaning power of 8840 Cleaning Units.
This gas-powered pressure washer’s engine is started by a traditional pull-start mechanism.
Gasoline storage is facilitated by a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.9 gallon.
Design & Handling
The Westinghouse WPX3400 is very mobile, due to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D21 x W19.5 x H39 in. The strong steel tubing frame assures assembly longevity. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the WPX3400 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
With a weight of 63 lbs, the unit can be easily maneuvered by most users. A major component of its weight are its 212cc engine and steel tubing frame. However, the two 12" never-flat wheels allow the WPX3400 to be easily manipulated and maneuvered.
Main Features
The Westinghouse WPX3400 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: A safe detergent storage is facilitated by a removable 0.5 gal tank. The Westinghouse WPX3400 features an automatic soap dilution mechanism, that will dilute your detergent with a 12:1 ratio. The detergent is automatically added to the water when a soap nozzle is connected.
- Pressure hose: The included 25 ft ⌀5/16" high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when idle thanks to a set of convenient hooks.
