Power
The DeWalt DXPW60606
With an impressive 389cc (11.7 hp) engine, its triplex pump delivers a pressure of 4200 PSI (roughly 70 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 4 GPM (CETA-certified values), resulting in the DeWalt DXPW60606's cleaning power of 16800 Cleaning Units.
Initiating the Honda GX390 engine of this gas pressure washer is achieved through a classic pull-start process.
Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 1.6 gallon.
Design & Handling
The wheelbarrow design of the DeWalt DXPW60606 offers enhanced mobility and stability, making it ideal for navigating uneven terrain and ensuring steady operation during heavy-duty cleaning tasks. 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 DXPW60606 convenience of transport.
With its hefty 145 lbs, this unit isn't exactly easy to handle, making manual lifting and transport quite a daunting task, especially on uneven terrain. Its 389cc Honda GX390 engine, the triplex pump and welded steel frame are mainly responsible for its heavy weight. Nevertheless, with its two 13" pneumatic wheels, users can manage the DXPW60606 with less difficulty, even over uneven terrain.
Main Features
The DeWalt DXPW60606'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. Attachment of a soap nozzle prompts the pressure washer to automatically introduce and blend the detergent with the water.
- Pressure hose: Utilizing a set of convenient hooks, the unit offers a convenient solution for storing the included 50 ft ⌀3/8" high-pressure hose when it's not in use, keeping it neatly organized.
- 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: Find details on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications in the table below.
