Power
The Champion 100580
Powered by the brand new Honda GCV200 (opens in a new tab) engine, which is specially built for pressure washers, its axial cam pump can deliver a pressure of 3200 PSI (around 53 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). With these values combined, the Champion 100580 boasts a cleaning power of 8000 Cleaning Units.
For this gas-powered pressure washer, the 201cc engine is started using a time-tested pull-start mechanism.
Containing gasoline, the pressure washer's fuel tank can hold a maximum of 0.24 gallon..
Design & Handling
The Champion 100580 boasts great mobility, courtesy of its convenient hand truck design. The durable steel frame of the assembly ensures its longevity, providing stability and shielding internal components from damage, even in tough conditions. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the 100580 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
With a weight of 51.6 lbs, this unit is designed for ease of maneuverability, catering to a wide range of users. Its 201cc Honda GCV200 engine and steel frame account for a good chunk of that weight. Despite this, the 100580's two 12" never-flat wheels ensure effortless maneuverability.
Main Features
The Champion 100580's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap injection: Even without a built-in soap tank, the device relies on a siphon hose to provide detergent. The detergent is diluted with a 12:1 ratio by the Champion 100580's automatic soap dilution mechanism. Upon connecting a soap nozzle, the pressure washer takes over the task of seamlessly combining 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: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzles: Find details on the 4 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications in the table below.
