Sealey PW2400 Pressure Washer 170 Bar with Lance Control and Snow Foam Gun

The Sealey PW2400 is a 170 bar pressure washer for tradespeople and busy households. A 2400W motor drives it. Its best trick is the control panel on the lance. You switch between three cleaning modes without going back to the machine.

Low mode protects delicate surfaces. Medium mode suits car paintwork. High mode gives full power on dirty hard surfaces. Maximum water flow is 7.5 litres a minute. Rated pressure is 120 bar at 6.5 litres a minute. That saves you swapping nozzles all day.

An automatic Total Stop System runs the motor only when you pull the trigger. A detergent tank is built in. In low mode it feeds cleaner into the jet. The 5m pressurised hose sits on a reel. The unit weighs just 13.2kg. It is rated IPX5 with a noise level of 76dB(A).

The kit includes a Rotablast nozzle and an adjustable fan nozzle. You also get a snow foam gun and five nozzles (0, 15, 25, 40 degrees and detergent). The gun has a safety lock. It suits people who want fast mode changes and a light machine.

Rated pressure is the steady working figure at 120 bar. Maximum pressure of 170 bar is the peak. Effective cleaning power of 200 bar is what the Rotablast nozzle adds by spinning the jet. The Total Stop System switches the motor off between trigger pulls. That cuts power use and heat. The lance panel changes pressure on the go.

Keep the safety lock on when you are not spraying. Use low mode first on paintwork and try a small spot. Never aim the jet at people or pets. Wear eye protection. Keep the plug and cable out of wet areas. The machine is IPX5 rated but still keep sockets dry. Release the trigger before changing nozzles.
