Description
Zoom on the Ryobi RY142711
In a nutshell, the Ryobi RY142711 is a medium duty pressure washer, which not only offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, but that also allows:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces or high reach areas
- cleaning of painted and fragile surfaces
- use of detergent and cleaning solutions
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
The Ryobi RY142711
With a 13 amp induction motor, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of 2700 PSI (roughly 45 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.1 GPM (values as per PW101-2010), resulting in the Ryobi RY142711's cleaning power of 2970 Cleaning Units.
Since it is an electric pressure washer, the motor of the RY142711 is started simply by an ON/OFF switch. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
With its hand truck design, the Ryobi RY142711 provides great mobility. The strong steel tubing frame assures assembly longevity. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the RY142711 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
The unit can be very easily carried around, as it weighs just 50 lbs. To further improve its transportability and ease of use, the unit also features a set of two 12" never-flat wheels.
Main Features
The Ryobi RY142711
Along with the Ryobi RY142711 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 2 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap injection: A safe detergent storage is facilitated by a dedicated tank. The Ryobi RY142711 has an automatic soap dilution mechanism, which dilutes the detergent using a 20:1 ratio. Detergent is automatically added to the water when "soap" is selected on the 5-in-1 nozzle.
- Pressure hose: Using a set of convenient hooks, the included 35 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose can be easily stored on the unit when it is not running.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its metal wand.
- Nozzles: In addition to a turbo nozzle, a convenient 5-in-1 nozzle is included.
Ryobi's 5-in-1 nozzle offers five spray pattern settings (0°, 25°, 40°, short-range soap, long-range soap). Selection of a specific spray pattern is made by simply rotating the spray selector to the desired setting.
Other Features
Some of the included accessories
- Onboard storage: With the Ryobi RY142711's handy storage area, you’ll always have all the necessary nozzles and accessories at hand and thus, you’ll be fully prepared for any job.
