Zoom on the DeWalt DXPW60603
The DeWalt DXPW60603 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:
- targeted spot cleaning for hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching elevated areas, and thoroughly removing stubborn stains
- overall cleaning of hard surfaces, washing vehicles, and prepping surfaces for painting
- delicate surface cleaning, andbroad area cleaning with reduced pressure
- applying detergents and cleaning agents, and rinsing off surfaces
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
With a 196cc (5.8 hp) engine powering it, the triplex pump of this unit is capable of achieving a pressure of 3200 PSI (approximately 53 times greater than that of a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 2.8 GPM (CETA-certified values). Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 8960 Cleaning Units.
Starting the Honda GX200 engine of this gas pressure washer involves using a conventional pull-start method.
Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.82 gallon.
Design & Handling
With its wheelbarrow-inspired design, the DeWalt DXPW60603 aims for excellent mobility and stability, enabling effortless maneuvering and dependable performance across diverse environments. Built to endure, the welded steel frame ensures the assembly's longevity by providing stability and safeguarding internal components under all working conditions. The handle adds to the DXPW60603 convenience of transport.
With its hefty 90 lbs, this unit isn't exactly easy to handle, making manual lifting and transport quite a daunting task, especially on uneven terrain. Its 196cc Honda GX200 engine, the triplex pump and welded steel frame are mainly responsible for its heavy weight. However, the incorporation of two 10" pneumatic wheels makes navigating the DXPW60603 less cumbersome, even on uneven terrain.
Main Features
The DeWalt DXPW60603's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap injection: While the device doesn't feature a soap tank, detergent supply is ensured by a siphon hose. Once a soap nozzle is connected, the pressure washer automatically blends the detergent with the water flow.
- Pressure hose: For easy organization, the included 25 ft ⌀5/16" high-pressure hose can be stored on the unit using a set of convenient hooks when it's not in use, ensuring a clutter-free workspace.
- Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook. The gun features a rotating auxiliary side handle to further improve the comfort of both left and right-handed users.
- Nozzles: Find details on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications in the table below.

User Reviews
We bought the machine at home depot and only used it four times and it has started leaking from the pump. It was a white liquid and i called the customer service at Dewalt and have not gotten a response yet. This is really upsetting because I need a pressure washer on a daily basis and I am not able to use it. At the bare minimum, I would expect a call back to correct the issue with the machine.
