Zoom on the Ryobi RY803600

In a nutshell, the Ryobi RY803600 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 and high-reach cleaning
  • thorough cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces
  • cleaning of painted and frail surfaces
  • use of detergent and cleaning solutions

Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.

Power

The Ryobi RY803600 in use

The Ryobi RY803600

The Ryobi RY803600's brass triplex pump, powered by a 196cc (5.8 hp) engine, can provide a pressure of up to 3600 PSI (approximately 60 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). The Ryobi RY803600 thus has a cleaning power of 9000 Cleaning Units.

A classic pull-start mechanism is responsible for starting the gas-powered pressure washer’s Honda GX200 engine.

Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.81 gallon.

Design & Handling

The wheelbarrow design of the Ryobi RY803600 grants mobility and stability to the unit. Its sturdy steel tubing frame provides longevity to the assembly. The reversible handle offers further versatility, as its different positions make the unit less bulky when stored.

Most users can maneuver this model easily, as it weighs just 80 lbs. Its 196cc Honda GX200 engine, the triplex pump and steel tubing frame all add up to a substantial part of that weight. But, as the RY803600 does have a set of two 10" never-flat wheels, it can be easily maneuvered and manipulated.

Main Features

The Ryobi RY803600 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.

  • Soap injection: Even though the device doesn't have a soap tank, detergent is supplied by a siphon hose. The Ryobi RY803600 includes an automatic soap dilution mechanism, which will dilute the detergent using a 20:1 ratio. When a soap nozzle is connected, the detergent will be added automatically to the water.
  • Pressure hose: The 35 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose, which is included with the device, can be stored neatly on the unit itself when idle, using a set of easy-to-use straps.
  • Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook. A rotating auxiliary side handle further improves both left-handed and right-handed users' comfort.
  • Nozzles: The table below shows you the 5 included nozzles, as well as the surfaces they're the most appropriate for.

    This is a great machine! Living in Az I wanted the lowest gpm to conserve water but cleaning power of high pressure.
    This Ryobi fits the bill.Awesome cleaning power. Also, love the ability to throttle it back like working on the car or outdoor furniture, bikes etc. The Honda engine is the best for dependable starts and smooth running. The engine alone costs more than many cheap gas washers. A recommend is to get a quick connect kit from Amazon that is less than $20 that makes hooking up the hose, machine, gun and even the water hose very “quick” and easy! The pressure hose is rather stiff and cumbersome to work with. In Oct. 20 Flexilla has a hose coming out that is supposed to be kink proof and will be rated 3600#.

    + PROS: high pressure Honda quality power $400 by itself triplex pump efficiency throttle control lever....love it. tiger or kitty cat
    - CONS: hose is very stiff...waiting on upgrade.flexilla in Oct. needs quick connects for hookups...$20 amazon
