Description
Zoom on the DeWalt DXPW60605
In summary, the DeWalt DXPW60605 is a commercial pressure washer, that offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and also:
- focused spot cleaning on hard, unpainted surfaces, accessing high spots, and efficiently eliminating stubborn stains
- overall cleaning of hard surfaces, washing vehicles, and prepping surfaces for painting
- gentle cleaning for sensitive surfaces, and wide coverage cleaning with low pressure
- applying detergents and cleaning agents, and rinsing off surfaces
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
Its triplex pump, which utilizes a powerful 389cc (11.7 hp) engine, may deliver a pressure of up to 4200 PSI (almost 70 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 4 GPM. Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 16800 Cleaning Units.
For this gas-powered pressure washer, the Honda GX390 engine is started using a time-tested pull-start mechanism.
Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 1.6 gallon.
Design & Handling
With its wheelbarrow-inspired design, the DeWalt DXPW60605 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 DXPW60605 convenience of transport.
With its weight clocking in at 140 lbs, this unit's heftiness can't be ignored, presenting significant difficulties for users who need to lift and transport it, especially over uneven terrain. The main contributors to its weight are its 389cc Honda GX390 engine, the triplex pump and welded steel frame. However, the incorporation of two 13" pneumatic wheels makes navigating the DXPW60605 less cumbersome, even on uneven terrain.
Main Features
The DeWalt DXPW60605'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: Detergent is fed in through a siphon hose, since the device lacks a soap tank. Upon connecting a soap nozzle, the pressure washer takes over the task of seamlessly combining the detergent with the water flow.
- Pressure hose: With a set of convenient hooks, the unit offers a practical solution for maintaining workspace order, allowing the included 50 ft ⌀3/8" high-pressure hose to be neatly stored when idle.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily 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: Review the table below to learn about the 5 included nozzles and the surfaces they're recommended for.
