Description
Zoom on the Briggs & Stratton 20725
In summary, the Briggs & Stratton 20725 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, that offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and also:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching high areas, and removing stubborn stains
- broad cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface preparation for painting
- mild cleaning for delicate surfaces, and low-pressure cleaning for broader areas
- using cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces to remove residue
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
With an impressive 208cc 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.
Initiating the Briggs & Stratton CR950 engine of this gas pressure washer is achieved through a classic pull-start process.
Fuel for the pressure washer is housed in a metal tank capable of holding up to 0.75 gallon of gasoline.
Design & Handling
The Briggs & Stratton 20725's mobility is greatly enhanced by its hand truck design. The welded steel frame's robustness ensures the assembly's longevity, maintaining stability and protecting internal components, even in the harshest environments. 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. Its 208cc Briggs & Stratton CR950 engine, the triplex pump and welded steel frame add up to a large chunk of the device's weight. Nonetheless, the addition of two 10" pneumatic wheels simplifies maneuvering the 20725, even across rough ground.
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.
- Soap injection: Though lacking a dedicated soap tank, the device ensures detergent supply via a siphon hose. The pressure washer automatically dispenses and mixes the detergent with the water when a soap nozzle is attached.
- Pressure hose: The included 30 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when not in use, utilizing a set of convenient hooks for convenient organization.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzles: The table below shows you the 5 included nozzles and the surfaces they're the most appropriate for.
