Powerful Pressure Washer

Pressure washer runs great, has a lot of power. Seems to get through tasks quicker than my old 2900 PSI Blackmax pressure washer did. I don’t see any issues with excessive vibration and wear on the water supply/garden hose like I read in other reviews. The only part of the pressure washer design I don’t like is the wand/sprayer holder on the frame of the washer could hold the wand/sprayer more securely in place.

Impossible to start and falling apart

I bought the WPX3800 a few months ago because the price had dropped, but I did not use it until this weekend. And oh my lord, what a disappointment! It is nearly impossible to start. Not exaggerating, it took a good 10-20 pulls to get it to start. And after literally one day of use it is rusting in multiple places, paint has chipped, and a bolt came loose and fell off. What is happening???

Westinghouse WPX3800: A Powerhouse Investment!

This machine is an absolute beast! The 3800 PSI and 3.6 GPM blast through serious grime on concrete and masonry, making huge jobs fast. I love the commercial-grade brass triplex pump—it speaks to the longevity and value. Easy to start, easy to maneuver, and delivers reliable, heavy-duty cleaning power every time. Zero regrets on this investment.

Unboxing was Impressive

I will come back to update my review after I have used the Pressure washer a couple times, so far out of the box it was simple to put together, all the instructions include a parts list not only for the exterior assembly but for the internal components for the engine. So maintenance is going to be easy and If I need a new part it's going to be even easier then most other companies. Weight is distributed over the wheels impressively, even my elderly mother in law is able to move it around with ease if she ever joins me on the job site.

Looking forward to years of use!

I recently purchased the Westinghouse 3800 psi 3.6 gum pressure washer, and while I haven’t had the chance to use it yet, my initial impressions are quite positive. The build quality feels robust and durable, which gives me confidence in its performance. The setup was straightforward, and I appreciate the clear instructions provided in the manual. The pressure washer comes with multiple nozzles, which seems beneficial for tackling various cleaning tasks—from patio surfaces to vehicles. I’m particularly looking forward to testing its high-pressure capabilities and seeing how well it removes tough grime and dirt. Moreover, the compact design and wheels promise easy mobility, making it convenient for moving around the yard. Overall, I’m excited to put it to the test and will update this review once I’ve had the opportunity to use it!

3800PSI / 3.6GPM - Cleaning Power of the WPX3800

My First ever pressure washer was a Kärcher Electric 1600PSI / 1.3GPM Not enough not enough power. Then I bought a Husky Electric 1800PSI / 1.6PSI which did good for being electric, but still not enough to tackle every household task. Then bought a Craftsman Gasoline Powered 2300PSI / 2GPM thinking I was right at the mark I needed but left me with lots to desire. I decided to go full in and bought a DeWalt Gasoline Powered 4400PSI / 4.0GPM which impressed me right away, but the pump spun out and failed on the second use, then got repaired under warranty(3 months in wait) and handling the spray nozzle was hard and vibration triggered my carpal tunnel. A year into it and the Honda GSX motor easy pull start failed thus needing full pull force and 20 pulls to get it to start. Did I mentioned it was too heavy, big ole footprint and LOUD. I used the DeWalt for 2 years, but came too the conclusion it was a bit too powerful, too hard to operate, tought to start, too heavy so I sold it. Lessons Learned; Gallons Per Minute are every bit as important as Pressure. With that said, I scaled down to the Westinghouse WPX3800 advertised as 3800PSI / 3.6GPM which runs a Triplex Pump on a Westinghouse 274cc Motor. Pros: 1.) MADE IN THE USA (with foreign parts?) 2.) 3.6 Gallons Per Minute @ 3800 PSI is a very good balance point. It has enough water flow to displace away dirt and enough pressure for water to dislodge dirt and grime from from just about any surfaces at home. Big pro is that the motor/pump does not have a Duty Cycle rating like electric pressure washers os it can be used continuously for extended periods of time without having to stop to let it cool down. 3.) The Westinghouse motor is relatively quiet. The pull start was a little harder than I expected (following user's manual start procedure) and it took some effort getting it to prime and start the first time I used it ( I will say that was the learning Curve, but still I think there is room to improve on that area). The tank holds about a gallon of fuel. I cleaned the entire driveway, and the entire front sidewalk on 1 gallon; I ran it continuously for about 2 hours and still had some fuel left in the tank. 4.) The whole unit weights a little over 50Lbs. The cart makes it easy to move around. The wheels are flat free( thats a win). It's footprint its about 2'x3' and can be reduced for storage by flipping the handle bar towards the motor down to 2'x2'. 5.) Gallons Per Minute is the key to a pressure washer. This machine pushes enough pressurized water to get the job done easily. Pressure without water is just an air hose. I live across the street from a lake and a pond and run-off goes into them so I cannot use chemicals to clean the driveway, sidewalk, exterior of the house etc... With that said, this machine tackled all those tasks with just plain water and very little effort. 6.) Warranty- the unit arrived with a damaged / crushed fuel tank during shipment. I called Westinghouse and they answered right away; within two days, a new Fuel Tank Assembly shipped to me directly. Very Pleased. The rest is yet to be seen! 7.) Bang for the Buck- For a pressure washer in this price range that does 3800PSI/3.6GPM, the WPX3800 pressure washer is a win-win. Cons: 1.) Pull start was a little harder than expected. and It took me several pulls to get it to start the first time I used it. I followed the manual step by step. I am comparing to the Honda GX motors which have a very easy to pull-start mechanism (which does not work all the time!), 2.) The Wand Holder system is no good. The wand falls easily. And if the Hose is still attached it will fall right away. It only works partially when stationary and no hose attached. If you move the machine, the wand will fall(and trample your feet if not aware). There are better ways to store the wand like a sleeve where to insert and store / hold the wand rather than the actual bracket that comes with it. 3.) I wish the hose storage system was better as well, but at least is more effective on its purpose than the wand holder.

Works great

I bought this pressure washer a couple months ago, and so far I enjoy it. I have washed a large rug and concrete so far.
