The Ryobi RY14122 in use

The Ryobi RY14122

The Ryobi RY14122's aluminum axial pump, powered by a 13 amp motor, can provide a pressure of up to 1700 PSI (approximately 28 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.2 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). The Ryobi RY14122 thus has a cleaning power of 2040 Cleaning Units.

As it is an electric pressure washer, the motor of the RY14122 gets easily started by a simple ON/OFF switch. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.

Design & Handling

The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the RY14122 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.

With a weight of only 34 lbs, the unit is very easy to carry around. As if this lightweight wasn't enough, the device also features two 7" wheels to further improve its ease of use and of transport.

Along with the Ryobi RY14122 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 3 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
