Power
The Briggs & Stratton 20725
With an impressive 208 cc engine, its triplex pump delivers a pressure of 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), resulting in the Briggs & Stratton 20725's cleaning power of 8250 Cleaning Units.
This gas-powered pressure washer’s Briggs & Stratton CR950 engine is started by a traditional pull-start mechanism.
Gasoline is stored in a metal fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.75 gallon.
Design & Handling
Thanks to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of L33 x W21.5 x H30.5 in, the Briggs & Stratton 20725 offers great mobility. The strong welded steel frame assures assembly longevity. The handle adds to the 20725 convenience of transport.
The majority of users will be able to maneuver this unit easily, it only weighs 77 lbs. One of the largest contributors to its weight are its 208 cc Briggs & Stratton CR950 engine, the triplex pump and its welded steel frame. Since the 20725 has a set of two 10" pneumatic wheels, it is still easily maneuvered and manipulated.
Main Features
The Briggs & Stratton 20725's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.

- Pressure hose: The included 30 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when idle thanks to a set of convenient hooks.
