Description
Zoom on the Briggs & Stratton 20725
In a nutshell, the Briggs & Stratton 20725 is a heavy duty, 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
- soft cleaning of delicate surfaces, and gentle cleaning for larger areas with low pressure
- utilizing cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces clean
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
Powered by an impressive 208cc engine, its triplex pump can deliver a pressure of 3300 PSI (around 55 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). With these values combined, the Briggs & Stratton 20725 boasts a cleaning power of 8250 Cleaning Units.
For this gas-powered pressure washer, the Briggs & Stratton CR950 engine is started using a time-tested pull-start mechanism.
The pressure washer's metal tank has a maximum capacity of 0.75 gallon for storing gasoline.
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. 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.
With its hefty 77 lbs, this unit isn't exactly easy to handle, making manual lifting and transport quite a daunting task, especially on uneven terrain. A key role in its final weight is played by its 208cc Briggs & Stratton CR950 engine, the triplex pump and welded steel frame. Despite this, the presence of two 10" pneumatic wheels reduces the complexity of moving the 20725, even on rugged surfaces.
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: Detergent is fed in through a siphon hose, since the device lacks a soap tank. Upon connecting a soap nozzle, the pressure washer takes over the task of seamlessly combining the detergent with the water flow.
- Pressure hose: The unit comes equipped with an included 30 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose, which can be neatly stored on the unit when idle, thanks to a set of convenient hooks, ensuring easy access and organization.
- 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.
