Zoom on the Stihl RE 100 PLUS CONTROL
In summary, the Stihl RE 100 PLUS CONTROL is a light duty pressure washer, that offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and also:

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
The Stihl RE 100 PLUS CONTROL
Using a 13-amp motor, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of up to 1800 PSI (roughly 30 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.2 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 2160 Cleaning Units.
With its electric design, the RE 100 PLUS CONTROL starts up effortlessly with a quick press of an ON/OFF switch, ensuring ease of use. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
Emphasizing mobility as a core feature, the Stihl RE 100 PLUS CONTROL boasts a portable design. The handle adds to the RE 100 PLUS CONTROL convenience of transport.
With its featherlight weight of 19.8 lbs, this unit offers unparalleled ease of transport and handling. This owes partly to its plastic frame, contributing to its lightweight design. Adding to its lightweight construction, two solid wheels are included, simplifying mobility and transport.
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: Detergent is stored in a removable tank. Detergent is automatically added to the water when "detergent" is selected on the 3-in-1 nozzle.
- Pressure hose: The included 20 ft high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when not in use, utilizing a convenient hose reel, which also improves its lifespan for convenient organization.
- Spray gun and wand: The included Control spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
- 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: Besides the usual owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and documentation to get you promptly started, the Stihl RE 100 PLUS CONTROL comes with detergent tank, power cord, pressure hose, spray gun, nozzle cleaner and wand.

- The Stihl RE 100 PLUS CONTROL, which can achieve a PSI of up to 1800, falls behind the other electric pressure washers in the $240 to $300 price range. Prioritizing the highest water stream power? Check out the Westinghouse WPX3000e—a top contender in this price range, delivering up to 3000 PSI.
- When compared to devices in the above-mentioned price range, this washer and its 1.2 GPM (gallons per minute), is on the lower end of the achievable water flow. When it comes to efficiently rinsing away debris, one standout option within this price range is the Greenworks GPW2700, delivering an impressive 2.3 GPM.
- The RE 100 PLUS CONTROL's Cleaning Units, 2160 CU (PSI X GPM), fall into the lower end when compared to electric devices of similar price. If the highest overall cleaning power is your top priority, the BE P2115EN, which can reach up to 3440 Cleaning Units, is one of the most efficient of the devices in the current price range.
