Few brands can match the reputation and quality that Dewalt has. They manufacture top of the line tools including contractor grade carpentry tools, a huge line of cordless tools, compressors and pressure washers among others. Contractors love Dewalt tools for their durability and power. Pass by any construction site and you are sure to see a lot of yellow and black Dewalt tools. Dewalt may not be the first name that pops into your head when you think of gas powered or electric powered pressure washers but the 3000 psi model is a capable machine. The first companies that most people usually think of when considering a pressure washer are Karcher and Ridgid. While these other brands are foremost in the industry, other brands such as Dewalt have established themselves as formidable alternate choices. Coleman, for instance, also makes well regarded power washers in a variety of different power levels.
The two point eight gallon per minute DPD3100 gas powered pressure washer provides professional cleaning power in a small footprint. This is particularly important when it comes to storage especially in situations with limited space. It is powered by a one hundred ninety six cubic centimeter (cc) over head valve commercial heavy duty interval engine which will provide more than enough power if used with an extended pressure washer wand for special applications. The extensions are commonly used to reach areas like gutters and second story awnings that would typically require a ladder during cleaning. The engine power specifications are shown at a maximum thirty six hundred revolutions per minute. It has a protective “low oil” shut off valve that will cut out when oil levels are too low. This is a durable engine that is specifically made to run at maximum operating capacity for long intervals. It is mated to a Dewalt built, oil-free triplex pump for superior water flow.
The spray gun with rotating side handle has quick connect hose and nozzle fittings which allows the user to easily switch attachments during the job. High strength, thirty five foot flexible rubber coated steel braided hose is extremely durable and is best managed by keeping it stored on a pressure washer hose reel that can be wall mounted. This also prevents kinks from compromising or weakening any part of the hose. The self contained washer is mounted on a steel frame which can be maneuvered across any type of terrain easily on rubber pneumatic tires. It also has a breaking mechanism which will fix the entire unit in a stationary position. Out of the box it comes with five different spray nozzles delivering spray patterns that can tackle a variety of cleaning tasks from power washing to removing loose paint. Of course the unit is backed by a Dewalt two year warranty package.
