- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching high areas, and removing stubborn stains
- mild cleaning for delicate surfaces, and low-pressure cleaning for broader areas
- applying detergents or chemicals, and rinsing surfaces afterward
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
The Champion 100579
Its axial cam pump, which utilizes a 160cc engine, may deliver a pressure of up to 3000 PSI (almost 50 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.3 GPM. Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 6900 Cleaning Units.
The Honda GCV160 engine of this gas pressure washer is activated by pulling a starter cord, following a traditional approach.
Fuel for the pressure washer is housed in a tank capable of holding up to 0.9 gallon of gasoline.
Design & Handling
Thanks to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D26.1 x W17.4 x H31.8 in, the Champion 100579 offers great mobility. The sturdy steel frame ensures the longevity of the assembly, offering stability and protection for internal components, even during rigorous use. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the 100579 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
At 51.4 lbs, this unit strikes a balance between portability and stability, making it easy for most users to handle. Its 160cc Honda GCV160 engine and steel frame account for a good chunk of that weight. Yet, its two 12" solid wheels ensure the 100579 remains effortlessly maneuverable.
Main Features
Along with the Champion 100579 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap injection: Even though the device doesn't have a soap tank, detergent is supplied by a siphon hose. The detergent is diluted with a 12:1 ratio by the Champion 100579's automatic soap dilution mechanism. Once a soap nozzle is connected, the pressure washer automatically blends the detergent with the water flow.
- Pressure hose: With a set of easy-to-use straps, the unit offers a practical solution for maintaining workspace order, allowing the included 25 ft ⌀9/32" high-pressure hose to be neatly stored when idle.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: In the table below, you can see the 4 included nozzles alongside their respective recommended surface uses.

| Concrete, brick, masonry | ||||
| Siding, gutters, house | ||||
