At Westinghouse, we’ve been supplying the world with dependable, efficient power for over a century. The Beast P2000B-BBM15 looked good in our research, but we can’t find a website or any significant information about the company that makes it. Because of that, we have concerns about potential long-term service or warranty issues.
A combination of pressure, measured in pounds per square inch , and flow, measured in gallons per minute . The noise metric is where the Westinghouse WPX3200 shows that it is a gas-powered machine. This pressure washer is one of the loudest we tested, falling in the lower percentile Champion Power Equipment at both a close and distant decibel measurement. The Westinghouse WPX3200 is not the most portable pressure washer we tested. However, it makes up for its weight and bulk by being remarkably easy to move around, thanks to two large wheels and a well-balanced design.
All pressure washer wands have a way to prevent accidental engagement of the trigger. Some models require a manual process; others are done automatically. The latter can add an extra level of safety but can be less convenient to use. A soap nozzle, sometimes called a detergent nozzle, allows the pressure washer Champion Power Equipment to dispense soap or detergent under low pressure. However, where the Westinghouse WPX3200 primarily suffers is due to its gas engine. Oil changes, gas refills, carburetor cleaning, and all the other small engine maintenances are tiresome, yet required, additions to the Westinghouse WPX3200 experience.
We read reviews about people melting their high-pressure hoses on the engine when they weren’t careful. While this is definitely something you should note, it certainly isn’t a deal-breaker. We were skeptical at first that the Westinghouse had enough power to effectively blast grime off an old sidewalk and driveway that had permanent rust and oil stains. The red tip, though, cleans like a laser, leaving white lines in the stains, so we switched to the 15-degree green tip to evenly clean a wider patch. Needless to say, the red tip ripped off old paint in an instant.
It feels a bit too low quality if you plan to use it more than say, once a year and should only be considered if saving space in your garage is the top priority. Another issue, which we noticed on the Ivation only during the first minute or so of use, was that The Force sun joe spx 3000 repeatedly loses pressure while you use it. You have to basically stop using it and let the motor build up pressure before you can get usable cleaning power from it. Of all the electric models, the Ivation takes the crown for most elegant detergent bottle design.
