Description
Zoom on the DeWalt DXPW60604
In a nutshell, the DeWalt DXPW60604 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, which not only offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, but that also allows:
- focused spot cleaning on hard, unpainted surfaces, accessing high spots, and efficiently eliminating stubborn stains
- broad cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface preparation for painting
- mild cleaning for delicate surfaces, and low-pressure cleaning for broader areas
- 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
Its triplex pump, which utilizes an impressive 270cc (8.4 hp) engine, may deliver a pressure of up to 3800 PSI (almost 63 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 3.5 GPM. Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 13300 Cleaning Units.
Initiating the Honda GX270 engine of this gas pressure washer is achieved through a classic pull-start process.
Fuel for the pressure washer is housed in a tank capable of holding up to 1.4 gallon of gasoline..
Design & Handling
The DeWalt DXPW60604's wheelbarrow-style design enhances both mobility and stability, enabling seamless navigation and consistent performance, even on rugged terrain. With its strong welded steel frame, the assembly is built to last, providing stability and safeguarding internal components, even in challenging environments. The handle adds to the DXPW60604 convenience of transport.
With its hefty 125 lbs, this unit isn't exactly easy to handle, making manual lifting and transport quite a daunting task, especially on uneven terrain. The main contributors to its weight are its 270cc Honda GX270 engine, the triplex pump and welded steel frame. Nonetheless, the addition of two 13" pneumatic wheels simplifies maneuvering the DXPW60604, even across rough ground.
Main Features
Along with the DeWalt DXPW60604 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap injection: Even without a built-in soap tank, the device relies on a siphon hose to provide detergent. Once a soap nozzle is connected, the pressure washer automatically blends the detergent with the water flow.
- Pressure hose: The unit comes equipped with an included 50 ft ⌀3/8" high-pressure hose, which can be neatly stored on the unit when idle, thanks to a set of convenient hooks, ensuring easy access and organization.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook. A rotating auxiliary side handle further improves both left-handed and right-handed users' comfort.
- Nozzles: The table below shows you the 5 included nozzles and the surfaces they're the most appropriate for.
0° | 15° | 25° | 40° | Soap | |
