- utilizing cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces clean
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
Fueled by an impressive 270cc (8.4 hp) engine, its triplex pump can generate a forceful pressure of 3800 PSI (roughly 63 times that of a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 3.5 GPM (CETA-certified values). When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 13300 Cleaning Units.
Starting the Honda GX270 engine of this gas pressure washer involves using a conventional pull-start method.
Fuel for the pressure washer is housed in a tank capable of holding up to 1.4 gallon of gasoline.
Design & Handling
With its wheelbarrow-inspired design, the DeWalt DXPW60604 aims for excellent mobility and stability, enabling effortless maneuvering and dependable performance across diverse environments. The robust welded steel frame guarantees longevity of the assembly, providing stability and protection for internal components, even under demanding working conditions. The handle adds to the DXPW60604 convenience of transport.
At 125 lbs, we can't really say that the unit is lightweight, and manually lifting or transporting it could be a significant challenge for users, especially if they need to move it frequently or navigate over uneven terrain. The main contributors to its weight are its 270cc Honda GX270 engine, the triplex pump and welded steel frame. However, the incorporation of two 13" pneumatic wheels makes navigating the DXPW60604 less cumbersome, even on uneven terrain.
Main Features
The DeWalt DXPW60604 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: While the device doesn't feature a soap tank, detergent supply is ensured by a siphon hose. Attachment of a soap nozzle prompts the pressure washer to automatically introduce and blend the detergent with the water.
- Pressure hose: With a set of convenient hooks, the unit provides a convenient way to store the included 50 ft ⌀3/8" high-pressure hose when not in use, keeping it organized and readily accessible.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand. A rotating auxiliary side handle further improves both left-handed and right-handed users' comfort.
- Nozzles: Refer to the table below for details on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications.
