Now this a proper review. Thank you for measuring the psi and gpm with multiple tips. Most reviewers just show them blasting some grime and say it’s “good”. Something a $100 Ryobi could do. Very informative
Really knocked it out of the park with this review. All pertinent information concerning a pressure washer even included a pressure gauge when demonstrating different tips. Really impressed.
This was the best review video I've ever seen. You covered everything from assembly to actual pressure testing the unit via your own test gauge. That leads me to a question. I didn't see another video of you testing a pressure washer and I was curious if you had. I don't know what gas powered pressure washer you have that you mentioned in the video but I was wondering how close it was to it's advertised pressure and gallons per minute. Are we getting ripped off with marketing numbers on electric pressure washers or do the gas powered ones also underperform by about the same percentage? Can you give an example of what your gas PW is rated at and what kind of pressures you get out of it using the included nozzles? Thank you for your time. Again, great video review!
I have found that the gas powered washers actual test pressures are closer to the advertised/stated pressures. For example my 10 year old gas washer (Simpson/Honda) has a stated pressure of 3000psi at 2.4 GPM. My numbers indicate 2400psi at 2.3 GPM. I have noticed that all advertised GPM whether gas or electric is usually close to the actual flow, except for in the case of this particular Westinghouse (2.0 advertised and actual was 1-1.5) I believe their 2.0 GPM claim comes from running the pressure washer without a nozzle. I have also noticed that virtually all electric pressure washers have the same flow rate of 1.2 GPM on a 110v outlet, with a few exceptions but any higher GPM will greatly affect pressure. You will have to find the correct balance of flow and pressure that suits your needs.
@@RoseBaby Good explanation! And I've also seen in other reviews that measured electrical draw that sometimes a PW unit rated @ 14 amps doesn't outright pop a 15 amp fuse but it will turn off the machine on surges during use. Something to look out for.
Absolutely awesome review, Rose!! I wish every review was as complete and well explained as yours. My question is, do you feel that this Westinghouse WPX3400e is powerful enough, and has enough gpm to effectively clean a residential driveway (normal dirt and slight discoloration, no oil stains, etc) using the Westinghouse Surface Cleaner (the 16.5" stainless steel with the rotating heads under the cover)? Westinghouse's literature indicates the surface cleaner is compatible with the 3400e, but Im wondering if the 3400e is powerful enough in real world use with that cleaner. Thank you so much for your videos!! 🤗🌹
Thank you! Yes the 3400e can easily power the surface cleaner as I have done so with lesser machines. Keep in mind the lower GPM will take longer to clean and depending on the size of the driveway you will have to give the pressure washer breaks to cool down.
Just got my new Westinghouse 3400 Electric Sprayer Washer.....Turned it on, it sprayed water for about 30 seconds the motor made a loud noise and now it will not come back on. Yes it is plugged in and the green light is on, I reset anyway and nothing. I even changed to a different plug outlet too. I plugged in a radio to make sure the outlet was working it was. Any suggestion out there? still nothing. When I turn it on it makes no sound like it's even turning on.
The outlet it is connected to may not be rated for the 14 amps this machine pulls. I had the same issue happen to me. I moved the machine to a different location so I could own my fence and plugged it into my pool outlet and no power. The green light of the gfi for the washer wouldn’t even light. I thought what the heck? So I plugged my pool motor back in and it worked fine. That’s when I learned not all gfi outlets are rated the same.
This is a good comprehensive review of the wpx3400e. However, my take away is that with 2500 psi, 1.0GPM, it does not come close to the advertised 3400psi, 2GPM. Granted, the specs are max numbers but I will not be buying one.
Interesting comment. She mentions the advertised PSI at the 53-sec and 6:22 marks (she's even pointing to it in the latter reference), the product panel is plainly seen throughout the video with PSI rating, and she spends the next 1.5 min demonstrating the psi and GPM she achieved using a guage/timer and explaining results for various aperatures one can expect. Just confused why you're confused. I took it that she's not defending the manufacturer but giving you real-world measured results for you to make up your own mind on a purchase. She also provides more good explanation in her response to @xplmr1.

Glad it was helpful!
It's still the same as a $100 Ryobi.... literally the same PSI and GPM with a 2.5 orifice. This isn't a unit you buy for car washing
@@nicholasborrelli7544what Ryobi?

Incredible review! Very detailed and love the measured approach to testing!! Thanks
Our pleasure!
Great video! Very detailed and down to the specs and even give us more info into other tips! You should definitely do more of these!
Very good review. I'm glad to have come across this one, it has helped me with decisions. Keep up the good work ! Thank you.
You are so welcome! 😊
Idk why, I get good vibes seeing you. Love from India❤.
You are very sweet. Thank you!
That’s an impressive machine! Great job!
Thank you!
That clean bronco❤
Beautiful Bronco!! Oh the review was nice also🙂
Glad you liked it!!

@@RoseBaby Thank you, Rose!! I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question!! 🌹
Thank you so much for watching, friends! If you have any question about this pressure washer please let me know in the comments.
Fantastic review. I'm not sure what this one does that the $110 version doesn't do.
133k woohoo I remember when you first started
Ahh thank you for being here since the beginning!! I appreciate you! ❤️❤️

Please review Greenworks Pro 3000/2.0
This is a good comprehensive review of the wpx3400e. However, my take away is that with 2500 psi, 1.0GPM, it does not come close to the advertised 3400psi, 2GPM. Granted, the specs are max numbers but I will not be buying one.
I'm confused, you never got close to the advertised 3400 psi when testing, but failed to mention that.

Manufacturer lies about psi and gpm
Yes, they ALL do. Very misleading.

Sounds like ryobi beats this one
