Stihl RE 130 PLUS Pressure Washer

The STIHL RE 130 PLUS is the definitive choice for those who find standard domestic washers “too light” and industrial units “too bulky.” Engineered for intensive residential use, this 135-bar powerhouse is built around a heavy-duty aluminium pump head and stainless steel pistons, a material combination typically reserved for entry-level professional machines. Unlike plastic-pump competitors, the RE 130 PLUS maintains consistent pressure during marathon cleaning sessions—whether you’re stripping years of lichen from a north-facing patio or deep-cleaning a fleet of family SUVs. The “PLUS” designation earns its keep with a 9-metre steel-reinforced hose and an integrated wind-up reel featuring a unique aluminium hose guide, ensuring the hose never kinks, snags, or tangles. If you want the longevity of a professional machine with the “park-and-store” convenience of a domestic tool, the RE 130 PLUS stands alone.

• Steel-Reinforced “No-Memory” Hose: While most washers use “plastic-coil” hoses that remain stiff and looped, the RE 130 PLUS features a professional 9m steel-reinforced hose that lays flat and remains flexible in cold Irish temperatures.

• Integrated Aluminium Hose Guide: The hose reel isn’t just a spool; it includes a precision-machined aluminium guide that moves the hose back and forth during winding, ensuring a perfect, flat-lay storage every time—even with one-hand operation.

• Maintenance-Free Brushless Induction Motor: The motor is “decoupled” from the pump via a high-torque drive system. Because it has no carbon brushes, it runs cooler and significantly quieter than universal motors, offering a service life that spans decades, not years.

• Anti-Drill Quick-Release Coupling: The trigger gun and the machine intake both feature 360-degree swivels. This allows the hose to rotate freely while you move, preventing the “pigtailing” and hose-fighting that ruins most pressure-washing experiences.

• Dosable Detergent Spray System: Unlike “suction-only” tanks, this kit includes a high-pressure foam nozzle with a precise adjustment dial, allowing you to control the exact chemical mix for everything from delicate car paint to heavy-duty stone cleaner.

• Side-Mounted “Garage” Storage: A fully enclosed side compartment keeps your rotary and fan-jet nozzles protected from the elements, with a dedicated hook that lets you unspool the entire 5m power cable in one single motion.

• Aluminium Telescopic Transport Handle: The rear handle is made of aircraft-grade aluminium and retracts fully into the machine body, turning a 21kg powerhouse into a compact unit that fits easily into a car boot or under a workbench.
