Description
Zoom on the Westinghouse WPX3600
The Westinghouse WPX3600 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:
- targeted spot cleaning for hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching elevated areas, and thoroughly removing stubborn stains
- complete cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface prep for painting
- delicate surface cleaning, andbroad area cleaning with reduced pressure
- applying detergents or chemicals, and rinsing surfaces afterward
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
The Westinghouse WPX3600's brass triplex pump, powered by a powerful 212cc engine, can provide a pressure of up to 3600 PSI (approximately 60 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.7 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). Thus, the Westinghouse WPX3600 achieves a cleaning power of 9720 Cleaning Units.
The engine of this gas pressure washer is activated by pulling a starter cord, following a traditional approach.
Fuel for the pressure washer is housed in a tank capable of holding up to 0.95 gallon of gasoline.
Design & Handling
With its wheelbarrow design, the Westinghouse WPX3600 delivers superior maneuverability and stability, facilitating easy transport and steady performance across various surfaces. The durable steel tubing frame of the assembly ensures its longevity, providing stability and shielding internal components from damage, even in tough conditions. The reversible handle offers further versatility, as its different positions make the unit less bulky when stored.
At 79 lbs, we can't really say that the unit is lightweight, and manually lifting or transporting it could be a significant challenge for users, especially if they need to move it frequently or navigate over uneven terrain. The main contributors to its weight are its 212cc engine, the triplex pump and steel tubing frame. Despite this, the presence of two 10" never-flat wheels reduces the complexity of moving the WPX3600, even on rugged surfaces.
Main Features
Along with the Westinghouse WPX3600 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap injection: Detergent storage is facilitated by the inclusion of a 0.8 gal tank. The detergent is diluted with a 12:1 ratio by the Westinghouse WPX3600's automatic soap dilution mechanism. Upon attaching a soap nozzle, the pressure washer seamlessly integrates the detergent into the water flow.
- Pressure hose: With a set of convenient hooks, the unit offers a practical solution for maintaining workspace order, allowing the included 35 ft ⌀5/16" high-pressure hose to be neatly stored when idle.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its steel wand.
- Nozzles: Refer to the table below for details on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications.
