What this video covers

A battery-powered pressure washer made by Ryobi gets a hands-on test aboard a 7-metre wooden boat, Veslemøy, at the Asker Trebåtfestival in Setre.0:06 Owner Ervin Bryne bought the unit, and Thomas Nilsson used it to strip salt from the deck and topsides in minutes, leaving the hull mirror-clean in sunlight.0:21 The washer runs on a 12-volt battery — the same platform used by Ryobi drills and other tools — and connects either to a standard garden hose or draws from a bucket.0:44 A small battery gives roughly 12 minutes of run time; the largest battery extends that to about 30 minutes.1:02 A 20-litre water can lasted surprisingly long.1:32 The unit delivers four times the pressure of a garden hose, which covers most routine boat-cleaning jobs.1:17 A 3-in-1 nozzle switches between a turbo jet, fan spray, and shower pattern.1:38 Compact size makes it easy to carry to locations without shore power or running water.1:08 Entry price starts around 2,000 NOK, excluding battery and charger.1:59 Ryobi is not the only brand offering battery-powered pressure washers; accessories are also available separately.1:49
