Description
Zoom on the Worx WG605
The Worx WG605 is a light duty pressure washer, and enables:
- cleaning of painted and frail surfaces
- applying detergent and cleaning solutions
- intense cleaning of hard surfaces
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
Its axial cam pump, which utilizes a 13 amp universal motor, may deliver a pressure of up to 1800 PSI (almost 30 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.2 GPM. These values correspond to a cleaning power of 2160 Cleaning Units.
As it is an electric pressure washer, the motor of the WG605 gets easily started by a simple ON/OFF switch. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
With its portable design, the Worx WG605 makes mobility one of its core strengths. The robust and sturdy metal frame offers longevity to the assembly. The handle adds to the WG605 convenience of transport.
Standing at only 17.2 lbs, this model can be carried around very easily. Because the WG605 is so lightweight, it doesn’t utilize wheels.
