- complete cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface prep for painting

Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
The Briggs & Stratton 20725
Utilizing an impressive 208cc engine, this machine's triplex pump can deliver a pressure of 3300 PSI (around 55 times stronger than a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 2.5 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). Thus, the Briggs & Stratton 20725 achieves a cleaning power of 8250 Cleaning Units.
The Briggs & Stratton CR950 engine of this gas-powered pressure washer is initiated by a classic pull-start mechanism.
Fuel for the pressure washer is housed in a metal tank capable of holding up to 0.75 gallon of gasoline.
Design & Handling
With its hand truck design, the Briggs & Stratton 20725 provides excellent maneuverability. Built to endure, the welded steel frame ensures the assembly's longevity by providing stability and safeguarding internal components under all working conditions. The handle adds to the 20725 convenience of transport.
At 77 lbs, we can't really say that the unit is lightweight, and manually lifting or transporting it could be a significant challenge for users, especially if they need to move it frequently or navigate over uneven terrain. Its 208cc Briggs & Stratton CR950 engine, the triplex pump and welded steel frame add up to a large chunk of the device's weight. 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: Even without a built-in soap tank, the device relies on a siphon hose to provide detergent. Once a soap nozzle is connected, the pressure washer automatically blends the detergent with the water flow.
- Pressure hose: With a set of convenient hooks, the unit provides a convenient way to store the included 30 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose when not in use, keeping it organized and readily accessible.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzles: Refer to the table below for details on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications.
