Zoom on the Briggs & Stratton 20654
In summary, the Briggs & Stratton 20654 is a light duty pressure washer, which provides:
- comprehensive cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and readying surfaces for painting
- applying detergents and cleaning agents, and rinsing off surfaces
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, and removing stubborn stains
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
The Briggs & Stratton 20654
Its axial pump, which utilizes a 13-amp universal motor, may deliver a pressure of up to 1700 PSI (almost 28 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.3 GPM. Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 2210 Cleaning Units.
The 20654 easily starts up with the press of an ON/OFF switch, providing seamless operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
With a portable design and approximate dimensions of D20 x W14.3 x H30 in, the Briggs & Stratton 20654 stands out for its focus on mobility. The handle adds to the 20654 convenience of transport.
This unit's low weight of 30 lbs ensures easy maneuverability, allowing you to tackle cleaning projects with minimal effort. Its lightweight construction is partially attributed to its plastic frame. As if its lightweight construction wasn't convenient enough, the unit is equipped with two 5" wheels, adding further ease to its transportation and maneuverability.
Main Features
The Briggs & Stratton 20654's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 3 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap injection: Though lacking a dedicated soap tank, the device ensures detergent supply via a siphon hose. As the Briggs & Stratton 20654 doesn’t include a soap dilution mechanism, the user must provide a correctly diluted detergent before proceeding to use it. Attachment of a soap nozzle prompts the pressure washer to automatically introduce and blend the detergent with the water.
- Pressure hose: For easy organization, the included 26 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose can be stored on the unit using a set of convenient hooks when it's not in use, ensuring a clutter-free workspace.
- 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 3 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications.
15° | Soap | Turbo | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete, brick, masonry | |||
| Siding, gutters, house | |||

Other Features
- Total Stop System (TSS): This feature automatically shuts off the pressure washer when the trigger is not engaged, to prolong the pump's lifespan.
- Onboard storage: Stay prepared for any job with Briggs & Stratton 20654's handy storage area, which allows you to neatly store any nozzles and accessories which you may need for the job.
- Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation).
- Accessories: Besides the usual owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and documentation to get you promptly started, the Briggs & Stratton 20654 comes with pressure hose, power cord, nozzle cleaner, spray gun, soap hose and wand.

- This washer, with a GPM of 1.3 (gallons per minute) has a somewhat lower water flow value compared to devices in its price range. If maximum rinsing efficiency is your top priority, one of the devices with the highest water flow in the same price range is the Westinghouse ePX3100, with a GPM of 1.76.
- At 2210 Cleaning Units (PSI X GPM) total, the 20654 sits within the average cleaning efficiency range when compared to other electric units in this price bracket. When it comes to the highest overall cleaning power in the current price range, one of the products at the very top currently is the Pulsar PWE2001V and its 3200 Cleaning Units.
