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.
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
The Ryobi RY80589 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
