Description
STIHL RE 130 PLUS Electric Pressure Washer
The STIHL RE 130 PLUS is a powerful, robust electric pressure washer designed for larger and more demanding cleaning jobs around the home and garden. Its 135 bar operating pressure, brushless induction motor, aluminium high-pressure pump and 9m steel-reinforced hose make it particularly well suited to patios, driveways, paving, vehicles, garden furniture and outdoor equipment.
This is a strong choice for homeowners who need more cleaning capability than a compact entry-level pressure washer but still want a practical mains-powered machine that can be moved and stored at home.

Why Masseys recommends the STIHL RE 130 PLUS
Masseys recommends the RE 130 PLUS to customers with larger patios, driveways or several different outdoor areas to clean. Its combination of a 135 bar operating pressure, durable induction motor and 9m steel-reinforced hose gives it the reach and cleaning performance needed for regular property maintenance.
The integrated hose reel is particularly useful. A pressure washer may perform well but still become frustrating if the hose is difficult to store or continually twists during use. On the RE 130 PLUS, the hose reel, hose guide and anti-twist quick-release coupling help make setting up and packing away more manageable.
This is not the lightest pressure washer in the STIHL range. We recommend it when cleaning performance, hose durability and robust construction are more important than having the smallest possible machine. For occasional car washing or light garden-furniture cleaning, a smaller STIHL model may be more economical.
For more intensive or frequent cleaning, compare it with the STIHL RE 140 PLUS and STIHL RE 150 PLUS.
Key features of the STIHL RE 130 PLUS
135 bar operating pressure
The RE 130 PLUS delivers 135 bar operating pressure for removing dirt from patios, paving, driveways, paths, steps and other hardwearing outdoor surfaces. Its strong water flow also helps rinse loosened dirt away efficiently.
Brushless induction motor and aluminium pump
The robust brushless induction motor is designed for high load capacity, low-maintenance operation and a long service life. It works with a durable aluminium high-pressure pump to provide dependable performance during regular domestic cleaning.
9m steel-reinforced high-pressure hose
The steel-reinforced high-pressure hose provides useful working reach around cars, vans, patios and driveways. Its durable construction is particularly beneficial where the hose is regularly pulled across paving or moved around vehicles and garden features.
Integrated hose reel
The PLUS designation includes an integrated hose reel on the machine. The reel allows the 9m hose to be wound onto the housing after use, reducing loose hose in a garage, shed or utility area.
Pressure-variable fan jet nozzle
The fan jet nozzle is the main attachment for everyday cleaning. Its pressure can be adjusted to suit different surfaces and levels of dirt. Use a wider, gentler spray for vehicles, garden furniture and more delicate finishes.
Rotary nozzle for stubborn dirt
The rotary nozzle concentrates the cleaning action to remove stubborn dirt from robust surfaces such as suitable paving, concrete, paths and steps.
Do not use the rotary nozzle on vehicle paintwork, loose coatings, fragile surfaces, old timber or delicate finishes.
Cleaning-agent spray set
The included cleaning-agent spray set allows a suitable pressure-washer detergent to be applied through the spray lance. This can be useful when pre-treating vehicle dirt, patio grime or oily deposits before rinsing.
Comfortable handling and storage
An aluminium telescopic handle, large transport wheels and an additional carrying handle help with movement around the garden and storage. The side compartment provides space for the nozzles and power cable, while the park position gives you somewhere to rest the assembled lance during a break.
What can the STIHL RE 130 PLUS clean?
- Patios and paving slabs
- Driveways and suitable block paving
- Paths, steps and entrances
- Cars, vans and 4x4s
- Bikes and e-bikes
- Garden furniture
- Bins and outdoor containers
- Garden tools and machinery
- Walls and other suitable hard outdoor surfaces
- Decking, when used carefully with the fan jet nozzle
Always begin with a wider spray and test a small, inconspicuous area. Powerful pressure washers can damage soft timber, loose pointing, old paint, seals and delicate finishes when the nozzle is held too close.
Which nozzle should you use?
| Cleaning job | Recommended attachment | Advice |
|---|---|---|
| Car bodywork | Pressure-variable fan jet | Use a wider spray, maintain a sensible distance and keep the lance moving. |
| Wheels and tyres | Fan jet and cleaning-agent set | Avoid spraying directly into electrical components, sensors and damaged finishes. |
| Patio slabs | Fan jet or rotary nozzle | Use the rotary nozzle only on sound, hardwearing surfaces. |
| Driveways | Fan jet or rotary nozzle | Test loose or damaged pointing before cleaning the complete area. |
| Decking | Fan jet only | Use reduced pressure and avoid holding the jet close to timber. |
| Garden furniture | Fan jet | Test painted, timber and woven furniture in an inconspicuous area. |
| Applying detergent | Cleaning-agent spray set | Use a cleaning product suitable for pressure washers and the surface being cleaned. |
