Description
Zoom on the Briggs & Stratton 20654
In summary, the Briggs & Stratton 20654 is a light duty pressure washer, which provides:
- overall cleaning of hard surfaces, washing vehicles, and prepping surfaces for painting
- applying detergents and cleaning agents, and rinsing off 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
The Briggs & Stratton 20654
Using a 13-amp universal motor, its axial pump delivers a pressure of up to 1700 PSI (roughly 28 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.3 GPM (values as per PW101-2010). When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 2210 Cleaning Units.
The 20654 is easily activated by an ON/OFF switch, offering convenient operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
Featuring a portable design and approximate dimensions of D20 x W14.3 x H30 in, the Briggs & Stratton 20654 underscores its dedication to mobility. The handle adds to the 20654 convenience of transport.
This unit's weight of 30 lbs makes it a breeze to carry around, perfect for on-the-go cleaning tasks. Its plastic frame plays a role in ensuring its lightweight profile. Further enhancing its lightweight design, the unit features two 5" wheels, streamlining transportation and maneuverability.
Main Features
Along with the Briggs & Stratton 20654 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 3 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. Given the absence of a soap dilution mechanism, users should dilute detergent correctly before operating the Briggs & Stratton 20654 pressure washer. Attachment of a soap nozzle prompts the pressure washer to automatically introduce and blend the detergent with the water.
- Pressure hose: With a set of convenient hooks, the unit provides a convenient way to store the included 26 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose when not in use, keeping it organized and readily accessible.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: In the table below, you can see the 3 included nozzles alongside their respective recommended surface uses.
15° | Soap | Turbo | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete, brick, masonry | |||
| Siding, gutters, house | |||
| Fencing, deck, patio | |||
| Lawn equipment, boat, RV |
Important note: The shapes of the depicted nozzles serve for illustration purposes only and may vary. Symbols used include a for 'Not recommended,' a for 'Suitable,' and an for 'Use with caution.'
Other Features
- Total Stop System (TSS): Featuring an automatic shut-off mechanism, this pressure washer stops running when the trigger is released, enhancing the pump's durability.
- Onboard storage: With the Briggs & Stratton 20654's handy storage area, you’ll always have all the necessary nozzles and accessories at hand and thus, you’ll be fully prepared for any job.
- Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation).
- Accessories: On top of an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and the usual documentation to get you swiftly started, the Briggs & Stratton 20654 also comes with nozzle cleaner, wand, soap hose, power cord, pressure hose and spray gun.

The Briggs & Stratton 20654's performance versus other pressure washers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the Briggs & Stratton 20654 compare to similarly priced pressure washers.
- The Briggs & Stratton 20654 with its 1700 PSI achieves a lower pressure value, compared to other electric pressure washers in the $150-170 price range. If the highest possible power of the water stream is your priority, one of the champions in this price range is the A-iPower E2800-FM with 2800 PSI.
- When compared to devices in the above-mentioned price range, this washer and its 1.3 GPM (gallons per minute), is on the lower end of the achievable water flow. In case you are looking for a device which can most efficiently rinse away debris in the current price range, the AR Blue Clean XM2200 has the highest GPM of 1.9.
- Boasting 2210 Cleaning Units (PSI X GPM) in total, the 20654 positions itself in the average cleaning efficiency range for devices of similar pricing and fuel type. If you consider the highest overall cleaning power as a really important factor, the Westinghouse ePX3500 and its 2480 Cleaning Units has one of the highest cleaning efficiency of all the similarly priced units.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other electric washers between 2000 and 2500 Cleaning Units, the Briggs & Stratton 20654 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.
The bottom line
- In the expected price range
- Portable
- Onboard storage
- Decent CU for the price
- Could include more nozzles
- No soap tank
- No detergent dilution mechanism
- Low PSI for the price
- Low GPM for the price
