This is a tool that has got a lot of mix's reviews online and this video is my 100% real opinion of this tool hope you enjoy and learn from it thank for watching.
Thank you so much. You save me some money today cause I was really thinking about buying one and washing cars to make some extra money on the side and this would have been a total set back.
in my scenario, I use it to wash/rinse my mountain bike right after a ride at the trail head, and dry it off with the wind on the way home, pretty nice for this application.
The tool is part of Ryobi days and as such I got it in the kit took the batteries back so the tool only cost me $44. If you look closely you can replace the attachment to the hose with a metal one as they use them for pressure cleaners and they're making an adjustable nozzle that we'll be able to be used later on. As stated these are for use in places where water is not readily available.
I've had a Worx Hydroshot for years now and like it so much I bought a second one as a backup. I actually urged Ryobi on several occasions to come out with a similar tool, so as soon as it was released I bought one. The power is about the same on each one but the Worx definitely has a better setup. With the Hydroshot, you can change tips just like a pressure washer or use the selectable nozzle head like the Ryobi, (though the Worx has more settings). Just like the Worx, people who don't understand the concept are under the impression that this is meant to replace a pressure washer - it is not, it's for portable light washing on-the-go or for applications where a pressure washer would cause damage. A good example is I wash my garden figurines with the Hydroshot. I tried a pressure washer once and it damaged them. A pressure washer also removed the finish from my expensive birdbath, whereas the Hydroshot works great. The Ryobi is not an everyday tool, but it is handy for what it is designed for. You can watch the comparable Hydroshot in many RUclips videos. Andrew over at Kite Army is particularly found of the Hydroshot and has some different videos of it in use.
Thanks for the commenting I agree it has it might have its place but I can’t justify it not being able to clean a car. Most people want this tool to be able to do that job and it doesn’t vary well but I get your point completely
This perfect for small random jobs. I use on deck of lawn mowers, prep decks for staining useful mobile tool. Not overly powerful but handy around the home. 50 or less go for it my take on it
bought one today and had the same thoughts. harbor freight sells their power washer for 10bux more. its rated somewhere around 1300psi. i recommend that. its not as convenient as cordless but will do the job better. im taking mine back.,
I just bought this even after watching your video and rating it as a bust. I can see why it wouldn't be so great for washing your truck but I use mine inside the garage on a classic car. I have a 2500psi gas washer and a 1800 electric washer but I don't want to drag them out and hook them up plus I needed something with less psi but more than my 60psi hose and bucket capable is a must. I use this1st with soap, then a tap water rinse and then with a bucket of distilled water. The distilled eliminates water spots and great prep for wax. I never expect a full rating from any pressure washer. I figure what ever number is on the unit reduce that by a third for real world use.
I believe this pressure washer won't knock your socks off, but the real reason to have this is if you need spray action somewhere with no water hose or power outlet. like in a parking structure near a drain, car show, or middle of a parking lot.
I agree this would be good in a area with the water hook up but. Even after watching my truck with it it left a lot of stuff behind so I don’t see a point wouldn’t you I just rather wait and do a good clean when you get home to each there own thanks for watching I love the feed back
Exactly the reason I bought the Hydroshot, After foaming the car I hand wash it before rinsing off, Works exactly as planned and expected, This and other similar products which sit between Garden hose and pressure washers if used in the right way are prefect for those in-between jobs, And the portability is always an ace in the hole
I think you are missing the intended purpose of this tool, it’s for taking it to places where you do not have a permanent water source.....dropping the included hose in a 5 gallon bucket, pool or lake. The ability to also use it attached to a hose connection, is just an added benefit. The psi is noted by Ryobi and not meant to replace a ‘normal’ pressure washer.
Thanks, was waiting for your review on this, I would have had to order it from the states so would have ended up costing me about $120, I'll now give it a miss, cheers!
3:19. Of course the truck is still dirty. If you only rely on the power cleaner and don't use a brush, wash cloth, or car wash glove, then it will still be dirty. It isn't sold as a, "pressure washer." Anyone buying it thinking it's a pressure washer needs to prepare for disappointment.
I didn’t film the whole thing I did scrub I know it wouldn’t be a pressure washers power but it’s kinda right in between useless and not so useless there are other tools that do the same job half the weight for example I had a couple stock on bugs that it couldn’t remove so why would I use this when a hose does the same thing
Just got mine this morning. Got it with the ryobi days sales, because i needed batteries anyway, so it was free. Im in an apartment so I thought it would cool to have to rinse off the patio when kids spill stuff daily, and to rinse off the cars once in a while.
I agree got mine the other day and it's pretty weak. If you put your hand right in front of it, it's enough to hurt a little but from a foot away it's pretty weak. I think the best way to use it is up close
@@RYOBIKING I received mine today, for 50$ from Home Depot, it even came with the 2 liter bottle adapter. I didn’t have any 2 liter bottles since soda is crap but I did test it out on an empty 32oz glass vinegar bottle I had stashed away, it worked great, of course I held the bottle to support the weight, and I shot at my deck, it took a few seconds to empty but it did what I wanted. I know what’s it’s capable and not capable of and I’m ok with that.
The quick disconnect can be unscrewed from the tool and replaced with any third party plastic or metal one, it uses a standard garden hose thread fitting.
Totally disagree with your review l have one of these and it works great maybe your using the lower end model mine has 330psi which really works great.
Just bought this. When I connect via a garden hose and turn on faucet, the water free flows through the pressure washer without pulling the trigger... it seems yours was not free flowing when trigger is not depressed. Can you confirm? I’m thinking my flow stop is busted with hose on and open. Thanks!
Well for me I’m in a apartment so I don’t pay for water so the bucket of water and sprayer works for me are could take it to the car wash 🧼 are at times u don’t want to go there this will work just fine it’s not a strong sprayer but it will get the soap off just might take a little longer
I am looking at it because right now I'm using a pump garden sprayer to rinse brake dust off rims. Ryobi King, would this product be 10x better than a garden sprayer? Thanks for the video
I would say yes it probably would do that job a LOT better then the garden sprayer it’s got week power for washing cars but if the garden sprayer was going ok for the job then yes this will work great
I’m looking for a tool to help clean all my tile and drywall tools at the end of the day if I have pressured water from the home owner hose bib or buckets of water
RYOBI KING I message ryobi and supposably there making a soap attachment for the power cleaner I have the worx hydro shot 20 volt I like it more still until ryobi Ales a soap attachment I will stick with the worx
I've used this 320 psi "power washer" to wash my SUV where water is not readily available. Couple of 5 gallon buckets, one with soapy water, one with rinse water. It's not as bad as this review claims. Clearly, this isn't as powerful as a real power washer, and you do need to wash the car by hand, but it does get surface dirt off, allows you to soap up the vehicle and then rinse it using this sprayer.
The fact is that there isn’t much of a point for it. If you don’t have water there then wait to get to somewhere that does it is heavy and doesn’t do a good job that was the point of the video I had the most ideal situation and it still did a poor job.
I purchased to clean off lawn mowers at the end of the day. Not even enough pressure to take of dry grass. I think my water hose can produce more without it. Disappointing will return.
Thank you so much. You save me some money today cause I was really thinking about buying one and washing cars to make some extra money on the side and this would have been a total set back.
Awesome glad I could help you save some money 👍
in my scenario, I use it to wash/rinse my mountain bike right after a ride at the trail head, and dry it off with the wind on the way home, pretty nice for this application.
This was a big reason on I wanted it too. Is it still working?

*Pro1 er* What model Hydroshot did you buy? I know this is a year ago.. Thanks for your time.
@@gunnerzane5230 I've had mine for years now so it's the original model.
@@Pro1er Thanks for replying.
@@gunnerzane5230 You're welcome.
Thanks for the honest review in less than 20 minutes. It seems this might work better for a boat on the water rather than a driveway.
Ya but the pressure isn’t going to help with anything
This perfect for small random jobs. I use on deck of lawn mowers, prep decks for staining useful mobile tool. Not overly powerful but handy around the home. 50 or less go for it my take on it
Ya not that the tool has dropped in price I can see that it has a place but not for the original $125
bought one today and had the same thoughts. harbor freight sells their power washer for 10bux more. its rated somewhere around 1300psi. i recommend that. its not as convenient as cordless but will do the job better. im taking mine back.,
Thank ya I would rather use a pressure washer anytime of the day over this
Thank you for your honest review. I will pass on it.
No problem
Good, honest review. I salute you for not being a ryobi fan boy.
Lol thanks love there tools but I use tools to make my life easier and if it doesn’t do that then it’s a fail

Thanks for taking time to review the tool.
Agreed but In my opinion if that’s all it’s good for it’s not worth it and I can 100% guarantee that this will not remove mud off anything
Thanks, was waiting for your review on this, I would have had to order it from the states so would have ended up costing me about $120, I'll now give it a miss, cheers!
Tun 80 no problem buddy
You just saved me $100. Thanks!
No problem glad I could help keep your eyes open for more videos soon thanks for watching

David Urdahl awesome if it works for you then awesome thanks for commenting
I use mine to shoot hot water up on the satellite dish when it gets covered in snow and ice. Works perfectly.
That’s a interesting idea
I agree got mine the other day and it's pretty weak. If you put your hand right in front of it, it's enough to hurt a little but from a foot away it's pretty weak. I think the best way to use it is up close
I wanted to know about the bucket with soap and water mix after about 10 videos I found this. Thanks for ur video
Ya no problem buddy!
@emrahkerse olabilir ama sulandırılması gerekecek
Perfect for RVing..
I like the idea for my boat since its at a marina during the summertime
Bought one.. it has a fair performance.. enough to rinse my car after a long trip on the unsealed dirt road..
I want it for winter washing, when the hose is put away. Just need a 5 gallon bucket of water and a soap bucket
Ya it would take you like 10 buckets of water to remove all the soap it uses vary little water
Just bought one today on eBay for that exact purpose. I hate salt being on my vehicles during these Midwest winters
Thank you... I'm going to return mine.
I don’t blame you
Best channel on youtube
Thank you I strive to give quality content
Thank you. I was wondering how this worked.
Thank you!!!
Your welcome
Thanks for the honest review
Thx for the review. Watched some other reviews and it seemed like the only good setting is the 15 degree one.
TMo agree
Ayyyyeee my boi is back at it
🤫 no no
Seems better suited as a mobile option. Grab a bucket of water and go to task. But if you have a hose nearby, not as useful.
Agreed
Either there is less water pressure in your line or the battery must be weak. I get a lot of powerful spray from the nozzle while yours seems weak.
Appreciate your honesty!! Will skip this purchase
Glad I could help
So when you use the bucket it doesn’t lose any power, it’s the same as the garden hose? Great! 👍🏼
I was being sarcastic it obviously has more power then a garden hose. But not enough to be worth it.

@@the415giant good I am glad that you like it!
You were correct about the quick disconnect , it broke the first time I used it. I can't find the replacement part anywhere. Trash I guess.
The quick disconnect can be unscrewed from the tool and replaced with any third party plastic or metal one, it uses a standard garden hose thread fitting.
Totally disagree with your review l have one of these and it works great maybe your using the lower end model mine has 330psi which really works great.
Just bought this. When I connect via a garden hose and turn on faucet, the water free flows through the pressure washer without pulling the trigger... it seems yours was not free flowing when trigger is not depressed. Can you confirm? I’m thinking my flow stop is busted with hose on and open. Thanks!
Yes water only comes out when you pull the trigger on mine I would give it another try and if it’s still doing that I will take it back
This tool comes in handy
This is good for surf fishing with kids. Rinse them down before you leave.
Well for me I’m in a apartment so I don’t pay for water so the bucket of water and sprayer works for me are could take it to the car wash 🧼 are at times u don’t want to go there this will work just fine it’s not a strong sprayer but it will get the soap off just might take a little longer

No problem
Thanks for the review! Greetings from Chicago!
Awesome we are IL buddy’s lol
Thanks! 😅

Would this work good cleaning parm bathrooms that have no access to water? I got a lot of grime on the floor that needs to come up.
If you have no other way to get any kind of pressure water then yes
You can get it for $40 now. Does it allow you to use the bottle attachment like the EZ clean?
Ya it does it’s not even worth $40 it’s useless I would put the money to something with more power. Thanks for the comment👍
How far will it spray in footage?
On turbo you can get a good stream for about 7 feet
I’m looking for a tool to help clean all my tile and drywall tools at the end of the day if I have pressured water from the home owner hose bib or buckets of water
Should do fine
You left out about the portable benefits. Bottle, bucket of water. Don't need the hose
I did leave out the bottle but I pulled from a bucket in the video
It is ideal for me cuz at my house I have no access with my hose to wash anything.
I understand
I’m waiting for a soap attachment but it’s good
Ya probably would soap ok but staying it off is a different story lol
RYOBI KING I message ryobi and supposably there making a soap attachment for the power cleaner I have the worx hydro shot 20 volt I like it more still until ryobi
Ales a soap attachment I will stick with the worx
Oh god that brush. Poor Jeep.

Does anyone know (roughly) when this will be available in the UK?
Not for sure butt topical when something is released somewhere else it takes about 6 months if it will be available any where else
I purchased to clean off lawn mowers at the end of the day. Not even enough pressure to take of dry grass. I think my water hose can produce more without it. Disappointing will return.
Ya sorry buddy If you would have watched first you could have saved you a trip ;) have a good day buddy
RYOBI KING I purchased before any reviews where posted. I have had it a few week and see I’m not the only one who feels this way.
shane hardee ya it’s not what I was hoping for. If it could wash my car and stuff i would give it a brake but it can’t even do that lol
I bet they will make a foam cannon attachment
I think they already did still I can’t justify it for what it does for my uses
Dang Can we get any lazier
Ponte a tallar wei
can you attach to a foam cannon?
Yes
What $12 piece do u speak of for a hose? I'm curious
Like a spray gun that just attaches to the end
So a basic attachment, I thought there was something I didn't know about lol
Lol sorry I should have specified there is not magic alien technology to attach to the end yet 😂
@@RYOBIKING did think there was but figured it was worth a shot
Didnt
it’s not any good, mine is not pulling any water
jk, got it to work. just had to pull down on the grey part then push up. in my defense, instructions do NOT say to do that.
A drill washer? Oh boy 🤣 stop the madness kid!
Kid? Ok chump
Maybe good for enemas
Not even enough pressure for that 😂😂😂
My simple garden sprayer is more powerful than this😁
guess you found out its junk
I figured that out pretty quick lol
These devices are garbage. They don't provide any benefit over using a standard garden hose nozzle.
That’s what I thought myself
Брызгалка безполезная
