I just bought one thanks to your review also got the hose you recommended I love this machine used it and my grandpa loves it that he ended up washing the whole garage thanks for you review.
They also offer a block style one epx3100v 2100w 1.76gpm for $116. Turbo nozzle and soap cannon 15 & 20 tips. 3 year warranty. I got it and it’s great. We all know the advertised psi and gpm are at initial start up not working range. I’m very happy with mine!
Thanks for this review. Would be nice if you could do a comparative analysis for the viewers to choose a unit. Like pitting the Active VE52, the Adams, and this Westinghouse against each other. They seem to be the top three machines. It'd be great to get your take on which of them would emerge as being the best of the them. Also, a primer on the balance of GPM and PSI, specifically if you had to choose a machine that beats the competition in one but not in the other which to focus on more. Both are critical to get effective pressure washing, and they work in tandem of course, but which should be the more primary focus. thanks again Josh. well done!
Great review, thanks so much for the links to update the hose as well as replacement nozzles and parts. had just bought the unit and have not used it yet.
You tested it, Thanks Josh. The hose is so short, mine came at 15 feet, and kinks. I purchased a different hose, I did that before I saw your videos regarding Uberflex, and various quick connects, as well as the 1.1 orafice you suggested. I like it. It even rolls well on gravel.
Thanks. I just purchased the 2500 psi version of this. Helpful info! Side note: the only reason I chose this unit was because of the caster wheels. Maybe some day I can convince the wife to get a wall mounted unit. We'll see.
@@allanwoods8163it works good for the cars. I love how simple it is to set up and put up and it doesn't tip over. I got an better hose of course. I have one of those circular driveway attachments but its for my gas powered unit.
@@MrSquirrelchan It works great! The best part is that it doesn't turn over. I love it. I would highly recommend that you get an upgraded hose. I went with the matching blue uberflex and also upgraded the gun with a short and swivel.
Bought this because of the review and a month after use of 3 times it broke. The power button would not turn on the power washer and when it’s turned on it will hold pressure for a minute before shutting down. I bought one from Walmart and it lasted more than this.
I’d like to see the ryobi 1600 up against the Westinghouse epx3100v 2100w 1.76gpm think it would be a great match up of block style pressure washers. This Westinghouse also comes with the turbo nozzle.
@IMJOSHV - Car Detailing and Reconditioning Tips You can actually tell a lot based on the testing methods these pressure washer manufacturers use. If they test using CSA standards, like Sun Joe, Powerplay/Westinghouse then they're only testing peak psi at initial trigger pull (no sustained), and max gpm with no nozzle tip attached. So that's why they advertise huge numbers. They're not real world. If they test using PWMA certification, like Ryobi, or Greenworks, then they're testing real world sustained performance. Not just peak numbers. To pass and be certified with PWMA, you need to be 90%+ of your advertised performance figures during actual sustained usage. So if you're looking for a pressure washer, buy one that is PWMA certified. That way you know what's actually being advertised will be very close to what you get.
Take in consideration when you add up or replace in extending holes longer than the manufacture, you will lose pressure. If you go from a 25 foot hose to a 50 foot you will lose pressure along the way to the nozzle because of the extension of the hose.
I got the thick hose when I got mine in October 2023. I'm probably still going to upgrade to the Flexzilla hose but I'll make do for now. I'm just using it around the house
I wonder if when they are rating the GPM, they are rating the max. This could be tested by doing the gpm test with no nozzle at all on the gun so it just flows right through. That would test the capability of the pump.
So you got 22% less psi and 27% less gpm than advertised. I'm looking at the (electric) Westinghouse WPX3400e w/ 3400psi & 2gpm max. Should I expect 2652psi at 1.46gpm? If so, I'm satisfied with that since I'm switching from an EXCEL 2500psi gas unit. Of course, I don't know the actual performance of mine, but it's plenty.
Really surprised at the takeaway that this Westinghouse is just "OK." Active has better numbers, but reviews indicate it's super unreliable / poorly built, and the company doesn't seem great to deal with. Other units from Greenworks have better numbers but no TSS. This has TSS + decent GPM at 1000psi + the lowest price by nearly $100.
@@breakingdan Yes, absolutely worth it. Specially if you're thinking of doing simple jobs; like cleaning mold on house-sidings, decks, dirty side-walks, washing cars, etc. The wheels came in super handy. I would also advise (hopefully not pointing out the obvious lol) to take at least 30 min to read the manual carefully.
I was wondering the same thing. When you look at the hose, both ends have the same fitting so you'll need two adapters... OR... You can upgrade to the wand that he recommends in the description.
Good review Josh. So for enthusiast use with a Griots Brilliant Finish foam cannon (1.1 mm orifice), would you agree that the Ryobi 1600/1.2 is the better choice?
Any thoughts on maybe doing some reviews on 6 in 1 or 5 in 1 nozzles vs all the individual nozzles? A single multi nozzle should make things faster vs having to always switch and then ensure that the single nozzle is installed fully before pointing at the car etc.
Westinghouse generators are good. I had the 3600 and the only problem I had was some bad gas and in trying to drain it out the carborator started leaking. I called to see if they had a replacement or a kit, and the tech guy said I'll just send you a new carborater. Good customer service.
Did the pressure dropped because you are using a longer hose 50 ft instead of 35 ft Also did you do any review on their electric pressure washer having 3200 psi with 1.76 gpm. I am weighing whether to buy this one or wait for EGO to come out with their pressure washer which is cordless having 3200 psi but only 1.1 GPM
Any chance on reviewing a worx pressure washer 13 AMP 1600 or 1900 or 2000 PSI ELECTRIC PRESSURE WASHER (1.3 GPM)? Would be great to see a worx review? Thank you!
Have you done a review on the Westinghouse WPX3000e? If so can you send me link or a honest opinion on it. I'm looking to purchase one without breaking the bank. Thanks
Hey new to the channel love your reviews I just recently bought my first home and finally have the space to detail my own car I’m considering this pressure washer what are other things I should get. To do it right I saw foam cannon and flexible hose what are other things you recommend thanks in advanced
Great video! I do have a question, I have been trying to search for an answer and I have had no luck whatsoever, I even contacted westinghouse support and received no response. I recently purchased the westinghouse epx3500 pressure washer and I am wanting to purchase a 50ft. pressure washer hose for it. I can not find out if this unit uses the m22 x 14 or m22 x 15 connection? I would assume the connection from the machine to the wand would be the same size but I can not find the correct sizing they use! Can anyone help please?
Hello josh First off I watch all your videos and as I'm after a new pressure washer and you have reviewed so many which is mind boggling, what would you say is the best for car detailing , now I'm over the pond in England so I have around £1000 to get a new one, what would be your recommendation and keep up the good work with the videos
Hope you can respond. I bought this washer and hose and the adapter using your links.. All works well except I cannot connect that adapter into the unit so cannot use uberflex either... any idea what I could be doing wrong?
Hello. I have this power washer and recently it stoped turning off when I release the trigger. It states on and makes this higher pitched noise until I manually turn it off. Why is this? Is there a part that I could fix? Thanks
Any thoughts on this vs the Karacher k3 Follow Me???.. I lost the wand for my Follow Me and I already had bought some other accessories for the Karcher. So I was thinking of just buying another wand or getting another unit. But then saw this with it's higher GPM and PSI..
Most pressure washers have a soap dispenser included via a small hose to the high pressure plumbing. If this option is not used is the machine sucking air decreasing the maximum PSI obtainable? Should that small port be capped off? Thanks, Dan
coming soon.. the transmission was EXPENSIVE so it wasnt the best buy unfortunately. Ive been setting up the inside for work. Ill do an update video soon!
Great Video Josh! Subbed. I Have A Huge Favor/Question To Ask. Remember You Did The Electric Dewalt Pressure Washer ? I Have It But I Have Mines Hooked Up To My 35 Gallon Water Tank With Drummond Water Pump. But I Can’t Get The Pressure Where It Needs To Be. Idk How. When I Turn The Pump On And PW Is On The Water Is Flowing And When I Try To Spray It Sprays Mist Like Water. Any Suggestions On How To Fix ? It Works Fine When I Have It Connected To A Water House From The House.
How on earth does your tss not pulse? I release my trigger and the motor just turns on turns off turns on turns off it drives me crazy. I have a stubby gun and 50ft uberflex hose as well on this same Westinghouse unit. What's the secret??
I actually never test that cause I don’t recommend using the on board soap tanks. The push the soap all the way through the hose so I prefer to use a foam cannon at the nozzle so it keeps the hose clean
@@MA-vm6jl you can get the 1600 lower with a larger orifice tip, Available on Amazon for $5. I think the 2.0 or 2.5 tip will get you in the 1000-1200 psi range and more GPM.

Westinhouse used like new is 127$ now mmm but i need space dont know if to buy it xd
That Ryobi is only 1.2gpm which is alot lower and not as good for washing cars with
