Stanley tools are a competitive manufacturer in the field of commercial gardening and cleaning power tools, and as you’ll find in this Stanley SHP2150 review, they offer a versatile pressure washer unit that will satisfy the needs of any household.
In this objective review, I’ll take you through this electric pressure washers features, performance and hopefully, I’ll help you understand this unit better.
Features
- 2,150 PSI
- Foam cannon included
- Professional grade brass garden hose connectors
- 25 foot soft flexible high pressure hose
- 43 times the pressure of a 7 GPM garden hose
- Less water savings over a 7 PSI garden hose
PSI and GPM
When it comes to PSI and GPM, the Stanley SHP2150 packs a punch. This power washer produces 2150 PSI at 1.4 GPM.
This gives this electric pressure washer a total cleaning power of 3010. Which is a decent number for a medium-duty power washer.
This number means that for most users, this pressure washer will meet all of their needs. The 13amp electric motor is placed in a beautifully designed and modern-looking housing.
Portability
When it comes to portability, this unit has it in spades. Not only does this unit have large rear wheels, but it also comes with a 25-foot high-pressure hose, and a 35-foot long electrical cord, that gives you a total reach of 60-foot from your power source.
This unit is rather light-weight at only 26 pounds, so picking it up and carrying it by its handle shouldn’t be a problem.
When you are done cleaning, this unit is compact and will take up very little storage space, if it wasn’t compact enough already, the handle on top of this unit can be lowered to save even more space.
To assist in getting this pressure washer ready for storage, this pressure washer has handles for reeling in the cord and a place to mount the hose to the side there’s even a holster for the spray gun.
All of these properties, combined with its low weight give you the ultimate sense of portability.
Nozzles and Foam Cannon
Like a lot of pressure washers, the Stanley 2150 comes with 4 quick-connect nozzles. To make changing these nozzles a quick task, these are stored on the nozzle holder, which is mounted to the spray gun.
These quick connect nozzles are designed for different jobs.
The 0-degree nozzle produces the highest pressure for the toughest cleaning tasks.
The 15-degree nozzle is used for cleaning and stripping (moss, paint, etc)
The 25-degree nozzle is your all-purpose nozzle, this one will tackle most jobs, I use this one for spraying down my car, for example.
The 40-degree nozzle is the lowest pressure nozzle, designed for cleaning easily damaged surfaces.
Not only do you get those 4 quick connect nozzles, this medium-duty electric pressure washer comes with a foam cannon so you can use snow foam cannon soap, allowing you to apply a thick coating of soap suds for deep cleaning. Think of snow foam for your car or dealing with stained concrete.

Customer Support and Warranty Policy
I am amazed at the support Stanley Tools offers. If you have a problem there’s a 24-hour customer support line which is still available to you even after your warranty expires.
There’s also online support via the Stanley Tools website which is rather user-friendly and easily accessible.
Stanley Tools gives you a 1+1-year warranty policy, if that seems confusing, don’t worry. The first year of your warranty includes every kind of replacement for motor and the accessories.
The second-year covers only manufacturer defects.
This is possibly the best deal out there when it comes to pressure washer warranties because the warranties/additional equipment is usually the first to break down having a year’s cover is fantastic.
Pros
The Stanley SHP2015 is a portable and compact electric pressure washer, which can be stored in most places, given that its handle can be lowered you can sneak this pressure washer under a worktop.
It supports a standard-sized garden hose. Which means you won’t need to purchase any additional connectors.
Plus, Stanley Tools have provided a maintenance kit with this pressure washer, enabling you to prolong its life. Meaning this will be a part of your power-tool collection for a long time.
Cons
There are a few cons. The first being that this pressure washer doesn’t come with a pressure controlling system other than changing the nozzle. As this is a medium-duty unit you shouldn’t worry about damaging sensitive surfaces.
There is a quirk of the system where if you press and depress the trigger quickly machine will make noises as if it produces pressure when it’s not.
