Description
Zoom on the Ryobi RY142500
In a nutshell, the Ryobi RY142500 is a medium duty pressure washer that allows:
- broad cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface preparation for painting
- applying detergent and cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, and removing stubborn stains
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
The Ryobi RY142500
With a 13-amp brushless motor, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of 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), resulting in the Ryobi RY142500's cleaning power of 3000 Cleaning Units.
Being an electric unit, the RY142500 easily starts up with the press of an ON/OFF switch, providing seamless operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
The Ryobi RY142500's mobility is greatly enhanced by its 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 strikes a balance between portability and stability, making it easy for most users to handle. This weight is largely influenced by the presence of the motor and a robust frame. However, with its two 12" never-flat wheels, the RY142500 remains highly maneuverable.
Main Features
The Ryobi RY142500
The Ryobi RY142500's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 3 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.

With its automatic soap dilution mechanism, the Ryobi RY142500 simplifies the process of blending detergent to the prescribed ratio of 20:1.
