STANLEY SXPW16PE Review

The STANLEY SXPW16PE Pressure Washer provides an effective means of removing stubborn dirt from cars, motorbikes, bicycles, garden tools, wooden decking, outdoor furniture, sports equipment, and more. It's a lightweight tool which is easy to manoeuvre and use. In terms of performance, its 1600W rated motor produces a maximum pressure of 125 bar and a huge water flow rate of 420 litres per hour. An adjustable nozzle lets you spray anything from a powerful cylindrical jet, to a delicate wide fan.

One feature of interest is the 'Total Stop System' which automatically switches the pressure washer off when the trigger is no longer being squeezed. Not only does this save on electricity costs, it also reduces wear and tear. We like the fact that the pressure washer has a 400ml detergent tank which lets you apply cleaning agent where it's needed. This is particularly useful when you're cleaning your car.

Specification

We now look at the features:

• Suitability - The STANLEY SXPW16PE Pressure Washer is designed to remove dirt from outside surfaces such as cars, motorbikes, bicycles, garden tools, outdoor furniture, and more. It cleans effectively, and has a safe, durable and reliable design. It's also compact, lightweight and easy to manoeuvre.

• Nozzle - The pressure washer has an adjustable nozzle which changes the water stream from cylindrical (at its most powerful) to a wide fan (for more delicate tasks). A foam lance bottle kit with a 400ml tank lets you use the pressure washer in conjunction with detergent, thereby allowing you to achieve an even more thorough clean. Detergent application works on the widest fan nozzle setting.
• Total Stop System - The STANLEY SXPW16PE has a 'Total Stop System' which stops the pressure washer when the trigger isn't engaged. This reduces wear and saves electricity.
