Troy-Bilt 2800-PSI 2.3 Gallons-Gpm Review
This Troy Bilt pressure washer costs among the least of gas-powered models we’ve tested, but you get much for the price. In addition to quick, effective cleaning and very easy handling,this model has auto-choke starting, a built-in soap tank, and an auto trigger safety. We found the washer fairly loud, as with most other gas models, but the 24-foot hose lets you keep it far enough away. One minus is the lack of quick-connect attachments to the wand and pump.
(Note: Because of the greater risk of injury, we recommend no pressure washer that comes with a zero-degree replaceable nozzle or setting, no matter how well it cleans.)
The Troy Bilt 2800 PSI is part of the Pressure washer test program. In our lab tests, Pressure washer models like the Troy Bilt 020568 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.
Cleaning: Versatility and efficiency in cleaning a range of surfaces. The better performers have multiple spray patterns that can cover various cleaning chores, from light, superficial cleaning to deep cleaning of concrete, decking, and other hard-to-clean surfaces.
Power: A combination of pressure, measured in pounds per square inch (psi), and flow, measured in gallons per minute (gpm). Higher pressure results in better cleaning of a given surface; coupled with a higher flow as well, you’ll get the job done the fastest.
Noise: A combination of measurements, based on dBA, reflecting the proximity of the operator to the pressure washer. While our Noise score averages measurements taken close by the machine and at the end of the hose’s typical reach, we strongly strongly recommend hearing protection for working close by a gas-powered model in particular.
