Description
Zoom on the Ryobi RY803423H
In a nutshell, the Ryobi RY803423H is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, which not only offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, but that also allows:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching high areas, and removing stubborn stains
- gentle cleaning for sensitive surfaces, and wide coverage cleaning with low pressure
- utilizing cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces clean
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 RY803423H
Utilizing a 187cc engine, this machine's axial cam pump can deliver a pressure of 3400 PSI (around 57 times stronger than a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 2.3 GPM (values as per PW101-2010). Thus, the Ryobi RY803423H achieves a cleaning power of 7820 Cleaning Units.
Initiating the Honda GC190 engine of this gas pressure washer is achieved through a classic pull-start process.
Containing gasoline, the pressure washer's steel fuel tank can hold a maximum of 0.47 gallon.
Design & Handling
The wheelbarrow design of the Ryobi RY803423H offers enhanced mobility and stability, making it ideal for navigating uneven terrain and ensuring steady operation during heavy-duty cleaning tasks. With its strong steel frame, the assembly is built to last, providing stability and safeguarding internal components, even in challenging environments. The reversible handle offers further versatility, as its different positions make the unit less bulky when stored.
At 70 lbs, this unit is light enough for easy handling, yet substantial enough to provide stability during operation. A significant portion of this weight is attributed to the inclusion of the 187cc Honda GC190 engine and a sturdy steel frame. However, with its two 10" wheels, the RY803423H remains highly maneuverable.
Main Features
The Ryobi RY803423H
The Ryobi RY803423H comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, a 5-in-1 nozzle and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: Though lacking a dedicated soap tank, the device ensures detergent supply via a siphon hose. Utilizing an automatic soap dilution mechanism, the Ryobi RY803423H accurately mixes detergent to the defined ratio of 20:1, enhancing cleaning efficiency. Detergent is automatically added to the water when "soap" is selected on the 5-in-1 nozzle.
- Pressure hose: With a set of easy-to-use straps, the unit offers a practical solution for maintaining workspace order, allowing the included 50 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose to be neatly stored when idle.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
- Nozzle: a 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: The Ryobi RY803423H features a handy storage area, which allows you to neatly store nozzles and accessories and be always prepared by having everything needed at hand.
- Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a low oil protection, a thermal relief valve (which helps to prevent internal pump damage) and a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation).
- Accessories: On top of an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and the usual documentation to get you swiftly started, the Ryobi RY803423H also comes with spray gun, surface cleaner, pressure hose, wand, oil, nozzle cleaner, soap hose and funnel.
