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
Powered by an impressive 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 DXPW60606 boasts a cleaning power of 16800 Cleaning Units.
Starting the Honda GX390 engine of this gas pressure washer involves using a conventional pull-start method.
The pressure washer's tank has a maximum capacity of 1.6 gallon for storing gasoline..
Design & Handling
Characterized by its wheelbarrow layout, the DeWalt DXPW60606 provides improved mobility and stability, facilitating easy movement and steadfast operation for effective cleaning results. 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 DXPW60606 convenience of transport.
At 145 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. Its 389cc Honda GX390 engine, the triplex pump and welded steel frame add up to a large chunk of the device's weight. Despite this, the presence of two 13" pneumatic wheels reduces the complexity of moving the DXPW60606, even on rugged surfaces.
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: Despite the absence of a soap tank, detergent supply is facilitated through the use of a siphon hose. Connection of a soap nozzle triggers the pressure washer to automatically incorporate the detergent into the water stream.
- 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: The following table provides information on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface uses.
