Overall, the Generac 6565 is a very good pressure washer, definitely one of the best you can choose from. It starts easily, got good appropriate nozzles for every kind of job, and its portability ensures you can get any job done anywhere provided you have gas in the engine. Thus, you have the advantage to be able to move it wherever you want to clean in your property. To aid this, it is fitted with oversized pneumatic tires to make movement easy even if it is through uneven terrain.
Now, let’s compare the Westinghouse ePX3000 to a Sun Joe electric pressure washer. How about the SPX3000 which is a 2030psi, 1.76GPM electric model? It’s the closest Champion Power Equipment competition I could find to the Westinghouse in terms of performance specifications. The ePX3000 and SPX3000 are nearly identical if we talk PSI and GPM.
Although most pressure washers are very similar to use, there are enough subtle differences to warrant that we factor in ease of use. To score it, we compared the hose connections, hose and cord storage, and the stability of the unit while in use. We also noted whether each machine has a soap dispenser, if it is in a convenient location on the unit, and if it is intuitive to use. The Westinghouse has great hose and wand storage as well, and since it has a gasoline engine, there is no power cord to fiddle with. We judged these machines according to cleaning power, portability, noise, and ease of use.
Properly drain all the water out of the pump and flush it with pump anti-freeze/lubricant. Store your pressure washer properly to keep it functioning at its best. First, you should always read the manufacturer’s instructions before using any pressure washer. Westinghouse pressure washers have a safety release valve that must be engaged before use.
Just like the other electric pressure washers we tested, this unit gets into some dips where it just loses all pressure, and you have to wait for it to build back up. Although the washer’s main body felt a little cheap, its components are high quality, and it cleaned just as well as the Ivation. A typical residential hose bib will provide eight to ten gallons of water per minute at about 10 pounds of pressure per square inch. That works well for watering the grass or rinsing your boots off, but it won’t clean much. To do some serious work, a gas powered pressure washer provides plenty of power for most cleaning jobs without breaking your budget.
The frame of this machine is power coated for being corrosion resistant. For control and comfort, a fold-down handle is provided which also helps in convenient storage. There is definitely a big range in quality of pressure washers within the same price range. Despite all being positively reviewed by consumers, we definitely noticed usability and quality variances between products.
Boasting with 8000 Cleaning Units , the WPX3200 is one of the more efficient devices in its respective price range. In case you are looking for the highest overall cleaning power, in this price range, one of the current champions is the Powerhorse and its 8320 Cleaning Units. The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the Westinghouse WPX3200 compare to similarly priced pressure washers. All models provide similar cord lengths, long enough to reduce the need for extension cords. All pressure washer wands have a way to prevent accidental engagement of the trigger. Some models require a manual process; others are done automatically.
