Introduction :
PowRyte is one of the leading manufacturers in China. Founded in 1998, the manufacturing facilities of Powryte is located in Hangzhou, China. They have offices and distribution facilities located in over 10 countries including Europe, Australia, the United States etc.
In this post, we will talk about a new electric pressure washer from PowRyte. This is a powerful 3200 PSI electric model that can be used for almost any home cleaning task. Let me quickly walk you through the features of this machine :
Power:
PowRyte Elite is a powerful electric pressure washer with 3200 PSI power. The GPM is only 1.8. Low GPM value helps you to save water. Normally, a garden hose has around 25 GPM of flow rate. Think about it how much water you are going to save. And 3200 PSI power can clean almost anything you want like driveways, patios, furniture etc. So, what about light duty cleanings like cleaning a window or your car? Check the next point to know more.
Nozzles :
This pressure washer comes with 5 different nozzles to help you with any medium or light duty cleaning job. You will get one 0º, 15°,25º and 40° nozzle for normal water cleaning task and one soap nozzle for light soap cleaning. These quick connect nozzles can adjust the water force. A higher degree nozzle produces lower water pressure and lower water pressure means more spread out water.
If you haven't used a pressure washer before and don't know anything about nozzles, I would recommend you to go through this post and the device manual before using it. The pressure washer is not a toy and the water force may easily harm anyone if not used correctly. Start with a higher degree nozzle first.
40-degree or white nozzle:
The 40-degree nozzle is colored white. This nozzle is used for fragile surfaces and it releases the widest angle of spray. You can use it for gentle cleaning on any surfaces like window, car, furniture etc. If you are new to a pressure washer, try this nozzle first.
25-degree or green nozzle:
This nozzle produces more power than the 40-degree nozzle. The water emits at 25-degree angle. You can use it for cleaning dart from furniture, boat, car etc.
15-degree or yellow nozzle:
The yellow nozzle dispels water at 15-degree angle. This nozzle is mainly used for removing old paint from a wall. This nozzle should be used only on tough surfaces from a right distance.
0-degree or red nozzle:
As its color suggest, this is the most dangerous nozzle. Using it on a fragile surface may cause serious damage. The water force is very high and unsafe for this nozzle. You can use this nozzle from a safe distance to remove tough grin and stains.
Soap nozzle or black nozzle:
The soap nozzle is used for soap cleaning. You can use it with the onboarding detergent tank to use soapy water on the surface.
Detergent tank :
PowRyte Elite 3200 PSI model comes with an onboard detergent tank for holding liquid soap. It is important if you use this pressure washer to clean your car, boat or bike.
Total-stop-system:
Total-stop-system or TSS is a new feature you will get on most modern pressure washers. The TSS system senses the water flow in the machine. When the trigger is released, it turns off the motor. That means it automatically activates and deactivates the electric motor every time you press or release the trigger. It reduces electricity consumption, protects the pump from overheating and increases the life of the motor.
Hose and power cord:
Electric power washers require one power outlet to keep it connected. You can wash as far away from the electric outlet as the power cord and the hose allow you. Thankfully, this power washer comes with one 20 ft high-pressure hose and 35 ft cord, i.e. total 55 ft radius distance from the power outlet. If this much length is not enough for you, you can use one extension cord. It features one ground-fault circuit interrupter plug. Ground-fault circuit interrupter or GFCI is designed to shut off the electric power in the event of a ground-fault current. It minimizes the risk of shock injuries. If you receive a shock, the GFCI will cut off the power before you get injured.
Portability :
This is a heavy machine and moving it to a different position will be difficult without any wheels. PowRyte Elite 3200 PSI, like most other PowRyte pressure washer comes with two durable wheels. The long handle on the top also helps you to move the machine wherever you want. You can easily organize the cord, nozzles and the pressure gun and keep it in a secure place during winter.
Our verdict :
PowRyte Elite 3200 PSI is a great powerful electric pressure washer. Most electric pressure washers come with less than 3000 PSI at this price range. The GPM value is 1.8, which is another great point. Overall this pressure washer is designed targetting medium and high duty tasks for all home users. Even if you are looking for a pressure washer for your pressure washing business, you can go for it if you are not going for any industrial cleaning. For industrial cleaning, I would suggest you check for a gas pressure washer.
