The Briggs & Stratton
020569-0 is part of the
Pressure Washers test program at
Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Pressure Washer
models like the 020569-0 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those
listed below.
Cleaning:
A high score means the pressure washer cleans quickly and works well on a variety of surfaces. A top-scoring model handles everything from light tasks to deep cleaning with multiple spray nozzles.
Power:
A combination of pressure, measured in pounds per square inch (psi), and flow, measured in gallons per minute (gpm). A high score means that this model has a higher PSI and Flow rate relative to other models we've tested. A top-scoring model cleans surfaces more effectively and gets the job done faster.
Noise:
A high score means quieter operation. This score is a combination of measurements taken both close to the machine and at the end of the hose's reach. We strongly recommend hearing protection when working close to a pressure washer, especially gas-powered models that tend to be significantly louder than electric and battery-powered models.
