Zoom on the Briggs & Stratton 20725
In a nutshell, the Briggs & Stratton 20725 is a commercial pressure washer, which not only offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, but that also allows:
- precise spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching elevated areas, and effectively removing stubborn stains
- comprehensive cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and readying surfaces for painting
- gentle cleaning of delicate surfaces, and low pressure cleaning of larger areas
- applying detergents or chemicals, and rinsing surfaces afterward
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 20725
Using an impressive 208cc engine, its triplex pump delivers a pressure of up to 3300 PSI (roughly 55 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 8250 Cleaning Units.
To start the Briggs & Stratton CR950 engine of this gas-powered washer, users employ the familiar pull-start technique.
The pressure washer's metal tank has a maximum capacity of 0.75 gallon for storing gasoline.
Design & Handling
The Briggs & Stratton 20725 boasts great mobility, courtesy of its convenient hand truck design. The sturdy welded steel frame ensures the longevity of the assembly, offering stability and protection for internal components, even during rigorous use. The handle adds to the 20725 convenience of transport.
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 main contributors to its weight are its 208cc Briggs & Stratton CR950 engine, the triplex pump and welded steel frame. Nevertheless, with its two 10" pneumatic wheels, users can manage the 20725 with less difficulty, even over uneven terrain.
Main Features
The Briggs & Stratton 20725
The Briggs & Stratton 20725 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: While not equipped with a soap tank, the device maintains detergent supply through a siphon hose. The pressure washer automatically dispenses and mixes the detergent with the water when a soap nozzle is attached.
- Pressure hose: Utilizing a set of convenient hooks, the unit offers a convenient solution for storing the included 30 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose when it's not in use, keeping it neatly organized.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: The following table provides information on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface uses.
0° | 15° | 25° | 40° | Soap | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete, brick, masonry | |||||

Other Features
