The RCA 20 is a battery-powered portable handheld pressure washer from STIHL. Compact and powered by the 10.8 volt AS 2 battery, it packs plenty of power to get small cleaning jobs either at home or out and about.
With a maximum pressure of 24 bar and a low weight of only 1.5 kg, the RCA 20 is effortless to use – just plug the battery in to the tool, connect a hose or suction filter to the RCA 20 and away you go! You aren’t reliant on a power connection either – the RCA 20 is a portable device that can be used anywhere from a campsite to a bike trail, or in your garden to clean furniture, patios, barbeques and play equipment. To use it away from a direct water connection, simply attach the suction hose to the RCA 20 and place it in a water container or the supplied water container bag. The RCA 20 has a screen which shows the current charge level of the tool and can be switched to ECO mode at the touch of a button if you need less cleaning power.
The RCA 20 comes fitted with a 4-in-1 multi nozzle which can be quickly changed between rotary, fan-jet, narrow jet and watering modes. It also comes with a spray lance extension, detergent spray set, plus a 5 metre suction hose with filter and a 20 litre water container bag for use when away from a water source. These accessories can all be stored in the carry bag which comes with the pressure washer kit as standard. Â The batteries and chargers are compatible with other STIHL AS SYSTEM battery-powered devices.
On a fully charged AS 2 battery the RCA 20 has a working time of 15 minutes.

I bought this spray gun / pressure washer for doing the arches on the car , I have a Worx spray gun but I love Stihl and yesterday I used it for the first time , it was good in fact quiet impressive , nice and compact with enough power to move the mud gathering in the arches.
A nice bit of kit at a reasonable price , the batteries are ideal and fit nicely in my pocket.

I own a several Stihl battery products (AP system and 1 AK system), this is my first AS product. I purchased as convenient pressure washer that’s smaller/easier to store/transport than a large wheeled Karcher – afterall, how often do you use a pressure washer? I’ve used it to clean a very mossy concrete path that’s not been cleaned in years and spray a car so far. It works but not a huge amount of power (it is only a 10v battery system so don’t expect a kick/jolt when spraying). 2 of the nozzle settings have just enough power to remove moss/clean surface dirt. I’d say the lance isn’t long enough on its own…you’ll be bending down all the time to use the most power straight out of the nozzle so really needs 2 lances to avoid bending down (however will reduce power slightly). I’ve also found that after a few hours the lance has slight play in the gun joint so waggles a tiny bit. The batteries don’t have much capacity…I can clean about roughly 1m squared (max) of heavily mossed path (roughly 10-15min continuous use normal mode. ECO mode would extend but could only just remove moss, not surface dirt) before battery’s flat. The included AL1 charger is slow too I’d get the AL5 fast double charger and more batteries personally. My AL1 charger doesn’t indicate according to the manual (or any other stihl charger I have) too. Overall, ok for small jobs, light cleaning a car without removing paint/breaching seals (but doesn’t replace a sponge) etc. It’s light, portable, convenient which is ideal for certain jobs (travel, cleaning bicycles etc) but pay-off is power which is dependent upon existing water pressure, hose length etc. Will tackle 1-off heavy cleaning that’s rarely done but takes hours longer due batteries & charging times compared to mains powered pressure washer so buy with the convenience factor in mind understanding the pay-offs.
