Zoom on the Stihl RE 100 PLUS CONTROL
The Stihl RE 100 PLUS CONTROL is a light duty pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:
- applying detergents or chemicals, and rinsing surfaces afterward
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, and removing stubborn stains
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
The Stihl RE 100 PLUS CONTROL
With a 13-amp brushless motor powering it, the axial cam pump of this unit is capable of achieving a pressure of 1800 PSI (approximately 30 times greater than that of a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 1.2 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 2160 Cleaning Units.
The RE 100 PLUS CONTROL is easily activated by an ON/OFF switch, offering convenient operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
With a portable design, the Stihl RE 100 PLUS CONTROL stands out for its focus on mobility. The handle adds to the RE 100 PLUS CONTROL convenience of transport.
This unit's weight of 19.8 lbs makes it a breeze to carry around, perfect for on-the-go cleaning tasks. This is, in part, thanks to its plastic frame, which allows it to remain as lightweight as possible. In addition to its lightweight build, the inclusion of two solid wheels ensures easy mobility and handling.
Main Features
The Stihl RE 100 PLUS CONTROL
Along with the Stihl RE 100 PLUS CONTROL itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, a 3-in-1 nozzle and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap injection: A removable tank ensures storage for detergent within the pressure washer. Detergent is automatically added to the water when "detergent" is selected on the 3-in-1 nozzle.
- Pressure hose: The unit comes equipped with an included 20 ft high-pressure hose, which can be neatly stored on the unit when idle, thanks to a convenient hose reel, which also improves its lifespan, ensuring easy access and organization.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included Control spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzle: a 3-in-1 nozzle is included.
Stihl's 3-in-1 nozzle offers three spray pattern settings (fan-jet, rotary, and detergent). Selection of a specific spray pattern is made by simply turning off the unit, and rotating the nozzle to the desired setting.
Control Gun
The unit's trigger gun and its control panel
Stihl's Control trigger gun provides you with an easy and convenient way to control pressure when cleaning.
Powered by 2 AAA batteries, it features a button that allows you to easily swap between three different pressure levels. The desired pressure level is then communicated to the motor via radio frequency.
LED indicators illuminate to clearly show you which of the 3 pressure levels is currently selected.
Other Features
- Onboard storage: The Stihl RE 100 PLUS CONTROL allows you to be always fully prepared, as it features a handy storage area, where nozzles and accessories can be stored.
- Pressure control: Water pressure can be manually changed, using the adjustable throttle of the trigger gun.
- Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation).
- Accessories: The Stihl RE 100 PLUS CONTROL comes with an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and some basic documentation to get you quickly started. On top of that, you also get wand, nozzle cleaner, pressure hose, detergent tank, spray gun and power cord.

The Stihl RE 100 PLUS CONTROL's performance versus other pressure washers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the Stihl RE 100 PLUS CONTROL compare to similarly priced pressure washers.
- The Stihl RE 100 PLUS CONTROL with its 1800 PSI achieves a lower pressure value, compared to other electric pressure washers in the $300-400 price range. If the highest possible power of the water stream is your priority, one of the champions in this price range is the Westinghouse WPX3400e with 3400 PSI.
- When contrasted with devices in the aforementioned price bracket, this washer and its 1.2 GPM lie at the lower range of attainable water flow. If you're looking for optimal debris removal capabilities, consider the Greenworks GPW2702A as one of the top choices in this price range, with a flow rate of 2.3 GPM.
- Featuring 2160 Cleaning Units (PSI X GPM), the RE 100 PLUS CONTROL sits at the lower spectrum when compared to other devices in the same price range and fuel category. If you consider the highest overall cleaning power as a really important factor, the BE P2314EN and its 3910 Cleaning Units has one of the highest cleaning efficiency of all the similarly priced units.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other electric washers between 2000 and 2500 Cleaning Units, the Stihl RE 100 PLUS CONTROL is on the expensive side of the price range.
While certainly not the cheapest of its cleaning power range, purchasing it could most likely also mean enjoying the reliability of a high-end product.
The bottom line
- Brushless motor
- Portable
- Hose reel
- Gun with control panel
- Onboard storage
- On the expensive side
- Low PSI for the price
- Low GPM for the price
- Low CU for the price
