Zoom on the Simpson PS60995
In summary, the Simpson PS60995 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, that offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and also:
- focused spot cleaning on hard, unpainted surfaces, accessing high spots, and efficiently eliminating stubborn stains
- complete cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface prep for painting
- mild cleaning for delicate surfaces, and low-pressure cleaning for broader areas
- applying detergents and cleaning agents, and rinsing off surfaces
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
Powered by a 196cc engine, its triplex pump can deliver a pressure of 3600 PSI (around 60 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (CETA-certified values). With these values combined, the Simpson PS60995 boasts a cleaning power of 9000 Cleaning Units.
Initiating the Honda GX200 engine of this gas pressure washer is achieved through a classic pull-start process.
Fuel for the pressure washer is housed in a steel tank capable of holding up to 0.95 gallon of gasoline.
Design & Handling
With its wheelbarrow-inspired design, the Simpson PS60995 aims for excellent mobility and stability, enabling effortless maneuvering and dependable performance across diverse environments. The durable steel frame of the assembly ensures its longevity, providing stability and shielding internal components from damage, even in tough conditions. The reversible handle offers further versatility, as its different positions make the unit less bulky when stored.
With its weight clocking in at 77 lbs, this unit's heftiness can't be ignored, presenting significant difficulties for users who need to lift and transport it, especially over uneven terrain. The major reasons for its heavy weight are its 196cc Honda GX200 engine, the triplex pump and steel frame. However, the incorporation of two 10" pneumatic wheels makes navigating the PS60995 less cumbersome, even on uneven terrain.
Main Features
Along with the Simpson PS60995 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap injection: Even though the device doesn't have a soap tank, detergent is supplied by a siphon hose. The Simpson PS60995 has an automatic soap dilution mechanism, which dilutes the detergent using a 7:1 ratio. When a soap nozzle is connected, the pressure washer takes the initiative to mix the detergent with the water flow automatically.
- Pressure hose: With a set of convenient hooks, the unit provides a convenient way to store the included 25 ft ⌀5/16" high-pressure hose when not in use, keeping it organized and readily accessible.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzles: Refer to the table below for details on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications.

- The Simpson PS60995, which can reach a PSI of 3600, achieves an average pressure output, compared to other gas-powered units that cost between $600 and $700. If you're seeking the strongest water stream, look no further than the Briggs & Stratton 20507, which delivers an impressive 4000 PSI.
- When contrasted with devices in the aforementioned price bracket, this washer and its 2.5 GPM lie at the lower range of attainable water flow. If rinsing away debris most efficiently is your priority, one of the devices with the highest GPM in this price range is the Briggs & Stratton 20507, which can reach up to 4 GPM.
- Featuring 9000 Cleaning Units (PSI X GPM), the PS60995 sits at the lower spectrum when compared to other devices in the same price range and fuel category. If the highest overall cleaning power is a priority, the Briggs & Stratton 20507 and its 16000 Cleaning Units are notable for their higher potential cleaning efficiency compared to units in the same price range.
