The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics and design, its main features and all the additional features it has to offer.
Power
With a 187 cc engine, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of 3200 PSI (roughly 53 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer), resulting in the Champion 100783's cleaning power of 8000 Cleaning Units.
The Honda GC190 engine of this gas-powered pressure washer relies on an old-school pull-start mechanism to get started.
Gasoline storage is facilitated by a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.48 gallon.
Design & Handling
The wheelbarrow design of the Champion 100783 grants mobility and stability to the unit. The robust and sturdy steel frame offers longevity to the assembly. The reversible handle offers further versatility, as its different positions make the unit less bulky when stored.
Most users can maneuver this model easily, as it weighs just 62 lbs. One of the largest contributors to its weight are its 187 cc Honda GC190 engine and its steel frame. Nethertheless, thanks to its two 12" solid wheels, the 100783 remains very easy to manipulate and maneuver.
