Description
Zoom on the Simpson CM61484
In a nutshell, the Simpson CM61484 is a medium duty pressure washer, which not only offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, but that also allows:
- overall cleaning of hard surfaces, washing vehicles, and prepping surfaces for painting
- gentle cleaning of delicate surfaces, and low pressure cleaning of larger areas
- applying detergent and cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, and removing stubborn stains
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
Using a universal motor, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of up to 2600 PSI (roughly 43 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.1 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 2860 Cleaning Units.
The CM61484's motor is effortlessly activated with a simple ON/OFF switch, ensuring convenient operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
The Simpson CM61484's mobility is greatly enhanced by its hand truck design. Built to endure, the steel frame ensures the assembly's longevity by providing stability and safeguarding internal components under all working conditions. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the CM61484 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
With a weight of 47 lbs, this unit is designed for ease of maneuverability, catering to a wide range of users. The incorporation of the motor and a durable steel frame contribute considerably to its overall weight. However, with its two 10" never-flat wheels, the CM61484 remains highly maneuverable.
Main Features
The Simpson CM61484'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: A safe detergent storage is facilitated by a dedicated tank. Upon connecting a soap nozzle, the pressure washer takes over the task of seamlessly combining the detergent with the water flow.
- Pressure hose: When not in use, the unit allows for tidy storage of the included 25 ft high-pressure hose using a set of easy-to-use straps, ensuring convenient organization.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
