Description
Zoom on the Husqvarna HH36
In summary, the Husqvarna HH36 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, that offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and also:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching high areas, and removing stubborn stains
- overall cleaning of hard surfaces, washing vehicles, and prepping surfaces for painting
- delicate surface cleaning, andbroad area cleaning with reduced pressure
- applying detergent and cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
Its triplex pump, which utilizes a 196cc engine, may deliver a pressure of up to 3600 PSI (almost 60 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM. Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 9000 Cleaning Units.
To initiate the Honda GX200 engine of this gas-powered pressure washer, a traditional pull-start mechanism is employed.
Containing gasoline, the pressure washer's fuel tank can hold a maximum of 0.82 gallon..
Design & Handling
Characterized by its wheelbarrow layout, the Husqvarna HH36 provides improved mobility and stability, facilitating easy movement and steadfast operation for effective cleaning results. The welded steel frame's robustness ensures the assembly's longevity, maintaining stability and protecting internal components, even in the harshest environments. The handle adds to the HH36 convenience of transport.
At 92 lbs, we can't really say that the unit is lightweight, and manually lifting or transporting it could be a significant challenge for users, especially if they need to move it frequently or navigate over uneven terrain. Its 196cc Honda GX200 engine, the triplex pump and welded steel frame add up to a large chunk of the device's weight. However, the incorporation of two 10" pneumatic wheels makes navigating the HH36 less cumbersome, even on uneven terrain.
Main Features
The Husqvarna HH36 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: Even without a built-in soap tank, the device relies on a siphon hose to provide detergent. Upon attaching a soap nozzle, the pressure washer seamlessly integrates the detergent into the water flow.
- Pressure hose: When not in use, the unit allows for tidy storage of the included 50 ft high-pressure hose using a set of convenient hooks, ensuring convenient organization.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: Review the table below to learn about the 5 included nozzles and the surfaces they're recommended for.
