Power

The Ryobi RY141820 in use

The Ryobi RY141820

Utilizing a 13-amp motor, this machine's axial pump can deliver a pressure of 1800 PSI (around 30 times stronger than a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 1.2 GPM (values as per PW101-2010). Thus, the Ryobi RY141820 achieves a cleaning power of 2160 Cleaning Units.

As an electric pressure washer, the RY141820 initiates operation effortlessly with a straightforward ON/OFF switch. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.

Design & Handling

Prioritizing ease of transportation, the Ryobi RY141820 incorporates a portable design and approximate dimensions of L12.5 x W9 x H10 in. The handle adds to the RY141820 convenience of transport.

With its featherlight weight of 16 lbs, this unit offers unparalleled ease of transport and handling. Its plastic frame plays a role in ensuring its lightweight profile. Although the RY141820 doesn't feature wheels, its light weight renders them unnecessary.

Main Features

The Ryobi RY141820 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 3 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.

  • Soap injection: While not equipped with a soap tank, the device maintains detergent supply through a siphon hose. Utilizing an automatic soap dilution mechanism, the Ryobi RY141820 accurately mixes detergent to the defined ratio of 20:1, enhancing cleaning efficiency. Once a soap nozzle is connected, the pressure washer automatically blends the detergent with the water flow.
  • Pressure hose: Included with the unit is a 20 ft high-pressure hose, which effortlessly connects to the unit for quick setup. However, it doesn't feature any proper storage solution for it (no reel, strap or hook).
  • Spray gun and wand: The device comes with a classic ergonomic spray gun and a wand.
  • Nozzles: Refer to the table below for details on the 3 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications.
