Description
Zoom on the Ryobi RY80589
The Ryobi RY80589 is a heavy duty pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:

Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
The Ryobi RY80589
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.
To start the engine of this gas-powered washer, users employ the familiar pull-start technique.
Fuel for the pressure washer is housed in a tank capable of holding up to 0.95 gallon of gasoline.
Design & Handling
The Ryobi RY80589 boasts great mobility, courtesy of its convenient hand truck design. With its strong steel tubing frame, the assembly is built to last, providing stability and safeguarding internal components, even in challenging environments. 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. The unit's weight is principally a result of the inclusion of the 212cc engine and a strong steel tubing frame. However, with its two 12" never-flat wheels, the RY80589 remains highly maneuverable.
Main Features
The Ryobi RY80589
The Ryobi RY80589's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap injection: Detergent storage is facilitated by the inclusion of a removable 1 gal tank. The Ryobi RY80589 includes an automatic soap dilution mechanism, allowing detergent to be diluted to the ratio of 20:1 with ease. Attachment of a soap nozzle prompts the pressure washer to automatically introduce and blend the detergent with the water.
- Pressure hose: When not in use, the unit allows for tidy storage of the included 35 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose using a set of easy-to-use straps, ensuring convenient organization.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its metal wand.
- Nozzles: The table below shows you the 4 included nozzles and the surfaces they're the most appropriate for.
