What the listing shows before you ask for a quote
On the PowerDe cleaning equipment category page, each machine carries an introduction describing where it is used — indoor garages, narrow outdoor parking areas, engine compartments, or the cleaning and disinfection of hospital beds and medical machinery. Those sentences tell you which site type the machine is aimed at. The detail page below the introduction carries the numbers that determine whether the machine can be connected at your location at all.
Power supply: read the working voltage line, not the heater rating
Two different voltage figures appear across the cleaning range, and they sit in different places in the specification block. The fixed machine PowerDe HW02 steam cleaner is listed with a 220 V working voltage and a heating power of 6 kW. The hand-pushed PowerDe HMW3, by contrast, lists a 48 V battery as the working power supply, with the 4.5 kW PTC semiconductor heater drawing from that battery. A 6 kW resistive heater on a single-phase 220 V supply is a heavy load for one socket circuit, so the electrical question for a fixed unit is the circuit, the protection device and the cable run — not the machine name.
Battery-powered models move the installation question somewhere else. Instead of a supply circuit, the site needs a charging position and a place to store the machine between shifts. The listing for the driving-style and hand-pushed models gives the battery as the working power supply but does not state battery capacity or runtime, so duty-cycle planning belongs in the quotation discussion.
Water supply and drainage: what the inlet specification tells you
The HW02 detail page states that the water inlet takes tap water through a 4-point internal-tooth joint with a 1/2 inch connection. That single line decides whether the machine can be plugged into existing pipework or whether an adapter and a shut-off valve have to be added before commissioning. Tank volume matters alongside it: HW02 is listed with an 80 L SUS304 tank, and HMW3 with a 50 L clean water tank. A fixed machine refilled from the mains needs a supply point near its operating position; a machine with an on-board tank can work further away, but the refill and drain arrangement becomes part of the route the operator walks.
Floor space and access: dimensions are published, but read the note attached to them
Body size appears as a footprint on the page. The HW02 specification gives 1,200 × 800 × 1,200 mm, with the note that the measurement includes the handles. The HMW3 detail page, re-checked in October 2026, gives L1150 × W520 × H1030 mm for a hand-push machine. For an indoor installation these numbers must be tested against door widths, a lift car, and the width of the aisle the machine has to travel. A unit whose footprint includes handles may still need clearance beyond the figures shown when a hose and wand are connected.
The mode of movement is listed too. Hand-push and driving-style designs change the access requirement: a driving-style machine needs a route wide and firm enough to be ridden along, while a hand-push unit is more tolerant of a narrow service corridor but places the travel distance on the operator.
Modes, safety items and cleaning tools already in the specification
Mode selection is part of installation planning because it determines what has to be near the working position. The HW02 page lists dry steam, wet steam and a vacuum cleaner among its cleaning methods, with a high-pressure water gun and nozzle as the delivery tool on the HMW3. Several mobile models list leakage, short-circuit, high-temperature, high-voltage and water-shortage protection; the HW02 overview adds high-voltage explosion protection to that set. Where a page lists protective functions, note them on the specification sheet you compare, and keep the list as the items shown rather than a total count — the wording differs between pages on the same model.
What the listing does not publish
For the HMW3 the detail page records what is absent: steam temperature and pressure, battery capacity and runtime, charger output, weight, hose and wand lengths, accessory list, noise level and water consumption per hour are not published there. The HW02 page is fuller, giving a steam temperature of 160°, a vapour pressure of 0.8 MPa, and 6 kW heating power, yet weight and hose length are still missing. Hose and wand length in particular decide how far the machine can be parked from the work area, which is where a cable run and a plumbing connection can often be shortened.
Where the same model is described in two places, the wording can differ. The category listing for the fixed 220 V machine introduces it with one model name while the product page uses another. Treat any name in a comparison sheet as text to confirm with the manufacturer rather than as a fixed reference.
Questions to put in the enquiry
- Which circuit, protection device and cable are required for a 6 kW single-phase 220 V machine installed at our site?
- Does the water inlet shown on the page match our pipework, and is the adapter supplied with the machine?
- What are the hose and wand lengths, and what is the machine weight for a unit that has to pass through a lift?
- For battery models: battery capacity, runtime per charge, charger output, and the charging position required.
- Which accessories are in the delivery for the surface we clean, and what commissioning support is included?
PowerDe also publishes engineering services, including hardware testing and equipment customization for intelligent cleaning equipment manufacturer work with customers whose site conditions fall outside the published configuration. Submitting your voltage, water supply, floor plan and access route with the enquiry turns the published specification into an installation plan rather than a best guess.
