Zoom on the Simpson MS60805-S

In summary, the Simpson MS60805-S is a heavy duty pressure washer, which provides:

  • spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces and high-reach cleaning
  • intense cleaning of tough, paintless surfaces
  • cleaning of painted and fragile surfaces
  • applying detergent and cleaning solutions

Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.

Power

The Simpson MS60805-S in use

The Simpson MS60805-S

Powered by a 160cc (4.4 hp) engine, its axial cam pump can deliver a pressure of 3000 PSI (around 50 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.4 GPM (CETA-certified values). Combined, these values mean that the Simpson MS60805-S has a cleaning power of 7200 Cleaning Units.

A classic pull-start mechanism is responsible for starting the gas-powered pressure washer’s Honda GCV160 engine.

A fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.25 gallon is used to store gasoline.

Design & Handling

With its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D23.8 x W18 x H35.8 in, the Simpson MS60805-S provides great mobility. The strong welded steel frame assures assembly longevity. The handle adds to the MS60805-S convenience of transport.

The device can be maneuvered with ease by most, since it only weighs 56 lbs. Its 160cc Honda GCV160 engine and welded steel frame all add up to a substantial part of that weight. However, the two 12" never-flat wheels allow the MS60805-S to be easily manipulated and maneuvered.

Main Features

The Simpson MS60805-S in use

The Simpson MS60805-S

The Simpson MS60805-S's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.

  • Soap injection: A safe detergent storage is facilitated by a dedicated tank. The detergent is diluted with a 7:1 ratio by the Simpson MS60805-S's automatic soap dilution mechanism. If a soap nozzle is attached, the device will proceed to add the detergent to the water automatically.
  • Pressure hose: The 25 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose, which is included with the device, can be stored neatly on the unit itself when idle, using a set of convenient hooks.
  • Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its steel wand.
  • Nozzles: The following table illustrates the 4 included nozzles, along with the surfaces which they are the most suitable for.

The Simpson MS60805-S's performance versus other pressure washers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the Simpson MS60805-S compare to similarly priced pressure washers.

  • The Simpson MS60805-S with its 3000 PSI achieves a lower pressure value, compared to other gas-powered pressure washers in the $400-500 price range. If you're going after the highest possible power of the water stream, one of the best in this price range is the DeWalt DXPW3425 that can reach up to 3400 PSI.
  • The achievable water flow of this washer, which reaches 2.4 GPM (gallons per minute) can be described as low, compared to other devices in its price range. If rinsing away debris most efficiently is your priority, one of the devices with the highest GPM in this price range is the Lifan LFQ3370, which can reach up to 3 GPM.
  • The MS60805-S has 7200 Cleaning Units (PSI X GPM), which can be considered low in comparison to other gas-powered devices of this price. If you consider the highest overall cleaning power as a really important factor, the Lifan LFQ3370 and its 9900 Cleaning Units has one of the highest cleaning efficiency of all the similarly priced units.

Price comparison

As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other gas-powered washers between 7000 and 7500 Cleaning Units, the Simpson MS60805-S is on the average side of the price range.

Therefore, this pressure washer nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of cleaning power.
