Zoom on the Ryobi RY80589
The Ryobi RY80589 is a heavy duty, commercial pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:
- gentle cleaning of delicate surfaces, and low pressure cleaning of larger areas

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
Utilizing an impressive 212cc engine, this machine's axial cam pump can deliver a pressure of 3300 PSI (around 55 times stronger than a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 2.5 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). Thus, the Ryobi RY80589 achieves a cleaning power of 8250 Cleaning Units.
The engine of this gas pressure washer is activated by pulling a starter cord, following a traditional approach.
Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.95 gallon.
Design & Handling
The Ryobi RY80589 boasts great mobility, courtesy of its convenient hand truck design. Guaranteeing longevity, the robust steel tubing frame offers stability and protects internal components, even when subjected to demanding tasks. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the RY80589 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
With a weight of 65 lbs, this unit is designed for ease of maneuverability, catering to a wide range of users. A significant portion of this weight is attributed to the inclusion of the 212cc engine and a sturdy steel tubing frame. Despite this, the RY80589's two 12" never-flat wheels ensure effortless maneuverability.
Main Features
The Ryobi RY80589 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: The pressure washer comes equipped with a removable 1 gal tank to store detergent. The automatic soap dilution mechanism of the Ryobi RY80589 will dilute the detergent with a 20:1 ratio. Once a soap nozzle is connected, the pressure washer automatically blends the detergent with the water flow.
- Pressure hose: Utilizing a set of easy-to-use straps, the unit offers a convenient solution for storing the included 35 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose when it's not in use, keeping it neatly organized.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its metal wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
