When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 6820 Cleaning Units.
To initiate the Champion engine of this gas-powered pressure washer, a traditional pull-start mechanism is employed.
The pressure washer's tank has a maximum capacity of 0.9 gallon for storing gasoline..
Design & Handling
Featuring a wheelbarrow design, the Champion 100780 prioritizes maneuverability and stability, ensuring smooth handling and reliable functionality in demanding cleaning applications. Guaranteeing longevity, the robust steel frame offers stability and protects internal components, even when subjected to demanding tasks. The reversible handle offers further versatility, as its different positions make the unit less bulky when stored.
With its 67.2 lbs weight, this unit offers a manageable size that allows for easy handling by most individuals, enhancing user convenience during operation. This weight is largely influenced by the presence of the 224cc Champion engine and a robust steel frame. However, with its two 12" solid wheels, the 100780 is easy to maneuver.
