Description
Zoom on the Ryobi RY142500
The Ryobi RY142500 is a medium duty pressure washer, and enables:
- complete cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface prep for painting
- applying detergent and cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, and removing stubborn stains
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
The Ryobi RY142500
Using a 13-amp brushless motor, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of up to 2500 PSI (roughly 42 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.2 GPM (values as per PWMA testing standards). When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 3000 Cleaning Units.
As an electric pressure washer, the RY142500 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
The Ryobi RY142500 boasts great mobility, courtesy of its convenient hand truck design. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the RY142500 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
At 43.36 lbs, this unit is light enough for easy handling, yet substantial enough to provide stability during operation. Its motor and frame account for a good chunk of that weight. However, with its two 12" never-flat wheels, the RY142500 is easy to maneuver.
Main Features
The Ryobi RY142500
Along with the Ryobi RY142500 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.
- Soap injection: Detergent storage is ensured by a 1 gal tank. The Ryobi RY142500 includes an automatic soap dilution mechanism, allowing detergent to be diluted to the ratio of 20:1 with ease. Once a soap nozzle is connected, the pressure washer automatically blends the detergent with the water flow.
- Pressure hose: The unit comes equipped with an included 25 ft 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: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its metal wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: Review the table below to learn about the 3 included nozzles and the surfaces they're recommended for.
15° | Soap | Turbo | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete, brick, masonry | Suitable | Suitable | Use with caution |
| Siding, gutters, house | Use with caution | Suitable | Not recommended |
| Fencing, deck, patio | Use with caution | Suitable | Not recommended |

The Ryobi RY142500's performance versus other pressure washers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the Ryobi RY142500 compare to similarly priced pressure washers.
- The Ryobi RY142500, which can reach up to 2500 PSI, has one of the higher pressure outputs of the electric units that cost between $240 and $300. Prioritizing the highest water stream power? Check out the Westinghouse WPX3000e—a top contender in this price range, delivering up to 3000 PSI.
- When compared to devices in the above-mentioned price range, this washer and its 1.2 GPM (gallons per minute), is on the lower end of the achievable water flow. If you're looking for optimal debris removal capabilities, consider the Sun Joe SPX3550 as one of the top choices in this price range, with a flow rate of 1.8 GPM.
- Boasting with 3000 Cleaning Units (PSI X GPM), the RY142500 is one of the more efficient devices in its respective price range. For those placing importance on maximum cleaning power, the Pulsar PWE2000 and its 3200 Cleaning Units offer one of the highest cleaning efficiencies among units in the same price range.
