Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
Powered by a powerful 389cc (11.7 hp) engine, its triplex pump can deliver a pressure of 4200 PSI (around 70 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 4 GPM (CETA-certified values). With these values combined, the DeWalt DXPW60605 boasts a cleaning power of 16800 Cleaning Units.
The Honda GX390 engine of this gas pressure washer is activated by pulling a starter cord, following a traditional approach.
Fuel for the pressure washer is housed in a tank capable of holding up to 1.6 gallon of gasoline.
Design & Handling
With its wheelbarrow design, the DeWalt DXPW60605 delivers superior maneuverability and stability, facilitating easy transport and steady performance across various surfaces. 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.
At 140 lbs, this unit's substantial weight makes it quite a challenge for users to lift and maneuver, particularly on uneven surfaces where its heft can become even more apparent. The major reasons for its heavy weight are its 389cc Honda GX390 engine, the triplex pump and welded steel frame. Despite this, the presence of two 13" pneumatic wheels reduces the complexity of moving the DXPW60605, even on rugged surfaces.
Main Features
Along with the DeWalt DXPW60605 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: While the device doesn't feature a soap tank, detergent supply is ensured by a siphon hose. The detergent is automatically mixed with the water flow by the pressure washer when a soap nozzle is connected.
- 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. The gun features a rotating auxiliary side handle to further improve the comfort of both left and right-handed users.
- Nozzles: The table below shows you the 5 included nozzles and the surfaces they're the most appropriate for.
