While you were mia, I coulda got you this from my guy. I picked up a new Ryobi electric power washer from him, not that one but a decent one.
I'm not sure if he can still hit HD, but I'll ask him. His only restrictions were no batteries and had to be less than 100lbs

Interesting that it is tool only for that cost. Then again you arent lugging around an extension cord and or using gas.

Damn I may buy one myself and just use it to pressure wash shit for neighbors. I did it last year and paid for my Ryobi gas one and then some. Thought about getting a better one just to do it again this year.l and expand a bit.

Thats when shit was still built to last. My original gas one was given to me as a house warming gift in 2000. It lasted about 13-14yrs with just a spark plug and oil change once a year. In the last 10yrs, I have gone thru 2 gas ones, one lasted about 4yrs, the one I have now is coming up on its 4th or 5th year but I have had to replace the carb twice. Now I keep a spare carb in my shed for it.

anyone run a 50-100' hose on their unit, i could hit 90% of what i need to hit without moving the unit with a 75' hose i think
Interested in that as well. When I pw the house and garage, it would be nice to not have to lug the power washer around every time I move
The garage I would never have to move it with 100' hose, the house only twice

i have a 50' for my electric one but i think they're interchangeable at only 1/4" but i wonder if with new gas unit i could go to 5/16ths or if increasing the supply hose from 5/8ths to 3/4's would be super beneficial as well

Both 5/8- and 3/4-inch hoses come in various lengths. From 25 to 100 feet long, choose the best length for your property. Be aware that a longer hose reduces the water volume expelled. For example, a 5/8-inch hose 25 feet long produces 44 gallons per minute (gpm). The same diameter hose at 100 feet long has a much smaller output at 11 gpm. Because 3/4-inch hoses have a wider mouth, their output for a 100-foot hose is slightly larger at 18 gpm, but the 25-foot hose increases the water flow to a staggering 72 gpm.



god so supply hose im thinking doesn't matter too much

Fired mine up for the first time this season on Moanday to do my sidewalks. Found I need a new hose and I think I need to clean the main jet on the carb as it will only run it's best on partial choke. I'm on that fence hose wise. Since mine is a max 3,200 psi, but really around 2,800 with the "general" nozzle, I may try a 5/16 hose.

My old Ryobi 1600psi 1.2 just took a shit 2 days ago. Bought a new Ryobi 1800psi 1.2 and picked up a retractable hose and reel along with quick connects for everything.

I’ve been thinking about something like that, but just for the regular hose. How much is that for the pressure washer hose?

This was the regular hose one. I hate dealing with them and the price seems worth it for less hassle.


Also my Dewalt seems to be hit or miss more. It will work and then stop pressurizing so I have to stop. Drain it. Then usually add some of the oil or whatever they say to store it with over the winter and it will work for awhile the next time I use it but it will start being lame again.
