Power
The Powerhorse Follow Me
Powered by a 13-amp universal motor, its axial cam pump can deliver a pressure of 2100 PSI (around 35 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.9 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). While these PSI and GPM values represent the maximum capabilities of the washer under specific conditions, it's important to note that under typical usage, the working pressure is 1600 PSI and the flow rate is 1.2 GPM. With these values combined, the Powerhorse Follow Me boasts a cleaning power of 1920 Cleaning Units.
The Follow Me, an electric washer, gets going swiftly with a simple ON/OFF switch, making startup hassle-free. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
