I purchased it and several other products you recommended. So far, everything is working well except for one design glitch. There is a small rubber o-ring (#017, 11/16 inside diameter by 1/16") at the hose inlet located behind the black knob that keeps the water from spraying out when the garden hose is attached to the machine. After just 6 months, it broke in spite of the fact that o-rings normally last 10 years or more. Not a problem, right? O-rings can be replaced. Not the way this unit was designed. The brass inlet pipe goes directly into the pump housing. You can not replace the o-ring. There's 2 solutions. First, you can allegedly purchase a slightly larger diameter o-ring (3/4" inside diameter) cut it at a 45° angle and then with a special superglue, connect it after trimming just enough to allow the ends to close. An aviation mechanic advised me that he did it all the time. The only other alternative is to call Greenworks customer service.
Thanks for keeping the videos coming Josh I bought the Portland pressure washer because of you and it has lasted me almost a year so far no issues. Your the man.
as per your recommendations I purchased the 2700psi unit from Lowes and last week upgraded my hose to the flex-zilla and quick connect fittings and another foam cannon. like you I don't care for the ramp up on the unit, but it performs great no issues the small upgrades really helped it does produce some great foam action like really thick which I was surprised. I have a 3200psi gas unit also but tend to use it for heavy duty jobs for the driveway and house stuff plus I get up at 6am to clean my vehicles before the sun starts blasting everything lol so the electric unit keeps the noise down while my neighbor's sleep. keep up good work man.
@@TheBassallyear100 my 2700psi unit came with a crappy plastic coated hose that was to short and would kink easily. That's why I replaced it with the flex-zilla.
Great product been performing for couple years now. Use soap tank often no issue. Thanks for all the reviews you do! only $99 at Home depot back then and ever have an issue they"ll take it back and replace. Ramp time did improve after a few hours of use and pump didnt surge as bad.
I've used this sprayer several times now on brick pavers, a wood deck, patio, and a driveway. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX It has performed as expected on all surfaces. For larger areas like the decks and patios, I think I will be looking into a surface cleaner attachment to speed up the job, or at least make it a little easier. Hose and sprayer connections are tool-less, tight, and quick. I used the yellow nozzle on the concrete/brick surfaces, and the pressure was adequate for cleaning those surfaces.I am disappointed that these units are still being shipped with a nozzle storage holder that allows them to vibrate out of the holder way too easily and become lost, but I don't want to knock off a star for that reason. The functional part of the washer works very well, so I would recommend this product.
I bought this unit. Used it for a weekend and then returned it. The psi to gpm ration doesn’t move a lot dirty. The hose is a pain and the nozzle is bulky. I’m better off spending the money on an active 2.0 rather than upgrading hose, handle, and nozzle tips.
Great stuff, a great pressure washer for those looking for the top end of the 2k pressure washers almost 3k but $400 is a bit steep. Right now for memorial day harbor freight I believe us selling their 2300 psi unit for $220 which Josh also did a review on. I think I can live with 400 less psi for about half the price.
JOSH!!! I need you to Review something ASAP!!! It’s a hidden gem within the shelves of Walmart!! Black Magic Graphene Detailer!!! This thing is BETTER than Bead Maker by P&S I tried it on my work truck 2 weeks ago after washing it. And today I washed my truck and with the pre rinse today, ALL of the dirt that was on it (I work landscaping) all of it came off! And the water beads WERE INSANE!!! like a ceramic coating had been applied on my trucks paint!!! I didn’t decontaminate i didn’t clay I didn’t anything! But washed it and dried it with this detailer and OMG! The slickness was awesome! And the water Beading OMG I NEED YOU TO REVIEW THIS. Best part! Is it’s only $8!!! I couldn’t believe it! This product is worth sooo much more! It needs to get out there people need to know about this amazing product!
Is the Ryobi 3000 PSI ($419) worth the difference in price over the 2700 ($232)? What are the main differences other than the top folding over, which is pretty cool
Karcher 170bar is maximum at 230 volts in Europe. Karcher HD 5/17 has 170 bar at the end of doze. Inside the motor has more. When you messure has more.
Great review! I also watched your review of the Greenworks 3000 psi electric washer. My question is, what would you recommend as I'm looking for a 3000 psi electric washer?
pressure beats flow for all those questions. i can dump a 5-gallon pail in 2 seconds and doesn't do jack to my walk. for me all the car washing stuff is stupid. garden hose and bucket last 30 years did great.
Can you get a set of 40 degree nozzle tips in various orifice sizes to see if there is an ideal one for each of the pressure washers you review? Right now you test using a 40 degree 3.0mm and a 25 degree 2.5mm. Also, what would be the best balance that you want to strive for? Let's say hypothetically you use a 40 degree tip and you have a choice of 2.0mm (1400 psi, 1.0 gpm), 2.5mm (1000 psi, 1.2 gpm), or 3.0mm (800 psi, 1.4 gpm). Which would you choose for car detailing?
Can you review the new Greenworks Pro 3000 psi? A few other car detailers have highly rated it but your reviews/test are better-more though and detailed.
I got the 2700. It’s ok but not great. My biggest issue is the stiff plastic hose that’s just tangled up in one big knot. That’s enough to make me take it back and see if the greenworks or another brand is any better. For the price they could at least include a decent hose.
For $400 I would say it's not worth it. I have the harbor freight 2300 psi and it works perfectly for the half the price. Same difference they both start off zero pressure and build up which I hate but it is what it is. I really do miss the instant pressure from the 2000 psi from the Ryobi.
They don't start at 0 pressure, they start at maximum pressure. Check your gauge, it sits at max when idle. My wand kicks hard when I pull the trigger. What happens is the pressure drops, then recovers. It's not a big deal to me. The 2300 is a little different in that the ramp up is slower.
I am very happy with mine! ive done 3 driveways! but I highly recommend buying the water broom, I use a surface cleaner, do a section of driveway, then use water broom and broom away the dirt past the area to be cleaned, since the gpm isn't high enough to wash it away during the surface cleaner phase. anyway, that 1 extra step, its awwesome! its weird though mine has never turned off. But I use it on my 20amp outlet, and I used it on two 15 amp outlets no issues I paid 261 dollars though. I bought it day 1 and it popped that price out in my cart.
Looks like the 2700 is better for our purposes, like the Greenworks. I'd like to add that most people with a 50 foot hose won't be standing next to the unit and the high pressure water flow from the gun becomes the loudest sound near you. I was using mine in the driveway today and totally forgot about the pressure washer in the garage. It does seem a bit quieter than a lot of the pressure washers with total stop though. Oh, and I'm reading right at 1,000 psi with a 3.5mm tip on the GW2700. Not sure why our numbers differ. I have 50 feet of 5/8" Flexzilla garden hose and the pressure gauge is at the outlet of the motor, if it matters.
Very nice video, do you still recommend this as the best electric pressure washer I know greenworks has a 3000 psi electric as well.. thank you so much and have a wonderful end of 2023!
It's been a while. Do you have any recommendations for a top of the line pressure washer? I'm over my gas powered one. Maintenance alone with my type of water is a pain. I can't just pull it out and turn it on. I'm always sanding the magnet and everything to get a spark.
So what's your recommendation (first choice) for a car and house uint mostly used for vehicles out of all you have reviewed please ...? Also, best foam canon and orifice size for Auto use can you address this quickly for me need to buy a unit ASAP ...? Thanks
Thanks for the videos bro super appreciate it! Also quick question ..what would you recommend for a surface cleaner that'll be compatible for this exact model?
It took me a year to buy this pressure washer thinking i can use it for multi purpose around house. I want to buy new nozzle tips but im so confused with the 1.1 gpm and which nozzles to buy. Does anyone have an advice? I been looking and reading and cant find anything or get straight answers other than chatgpt saying i need to get compatible tip with this flow rate.
I went with the Ryobi 1800 PSI 1.2 GPM from Home Depot. Works great and is $99. I upgraded the hose to flexzilla 50’ and got a stubby nozzle/larger nozzle. If intended for home use this is a perfect setup and doesn’t kill the budget.
Hey Josh. Thanks for the review. I found an interesting comment that said we’re all capped at 1200psi/.7 gpm with electric due to only drawing 115amps of pwr. Is this true?
It totally depends on your machine. I run a single phase 230 volt machine that is 2.2 gpm and 2300 PSI. It needs 16A to run. In the US the same Stihl machine runs on 120 volt and 20A. Plenty of machines that will run in the 1800-2000 PSI range and deliver 1.8-2.2 gph.
Thank you Josh. Lots of great videos. I have 2 questions. 1st. On the electronic pressure washer can you add the ball valve for rinse down and will the machine create enough pressure for a strong stream without using a pressure washer gun? 2nd question. I have had 2 shepherd ryobi Plug with the Surge protector Burns out. I never plug it anywhere near where the water is so I can't understand why that keeps happening. So what I want to doing is cutting the wire and by passing it directly to an outlet in my garage That has a search protector as well. Have you ever seen this before?
I have a gas ryobi it works fine hate the hose but replaced it. Called ryobi to see if I could replace the forward leaning handle it is the most awkward piece of equipment I have I hate that and can not replace it they have obviously never heard or ergonomics, would love to hear from someone that straiten it.
I have been reading a lot about what the actual possibilities of pressure you can get out of these less than 220V pressure washers. There evidently is a limit and many companies are untruthful as to performance. Is this one of them also.
Love your content! Any chance you have tried the SJ SPX3550? Any thoughts on a good electric machine I can use for home driveway and sidewalk and also use for car?
Brushless does not dictate longer life at all. I had a Milwaukee brushless tool go up in smoke literally the second use. My opinion is it’s not tested long term and it has more parts to fail. I’ve never had any tool fail for brushes it’s always something else. That’s like the LED light sales pitch how we were told they had a crazy lifespan and the gov forces us to go to them yet they die just as fast if not faster than any old standard bulb but you pay way more them. It’s just deceptive marketing to me.
Actually the LED topic isn't clear because like everything else not all LED's are created equal. Also they are more prone to getting damaged from power fluctuations, voltage drop or surges. The main reason most LEDs fail prematurely is bad design from cheap Chinese manufactured brands. If you notice all the Philips LEDs can go on just as advertised. I have yet to replace a single one of my Philips hue bulbs that installed at least 7 years ago. I'm sure it's been longer but I don't want to make false claims. The LED bulb has 3 important parts and they all need to be of high quality and designed correctly for it to function properly and reliably. The first is a high quality LED. Second is a properly designed heat sink and the last is a properly designed bulb that disperses heat away from the bulb itself. As we know heat travels up not down. The majority of heat sinks are placed in between the stem and light. If you have the light upside down in recessed can fixture that heat can't go anywhere so it literally fries the circuit board. LED's definitely have a way to go for durability and reliability. It exists but you have to pay a premium for it. Buying the cheap ones in the lower price ranges will ensure you don't get a high quality designed LED.
so, is the reason you change orifice size is to control pressure? so if i want to wash my car i would use the 2.5 orifice to lower the pressure and increase flow?
Hello! i need your advice. I want to buy a foam cannon from you. with which pressure washer foam cannon will give better results for thick creamy foam when washing cars? which is the best pressure washer to use with your foam cannon? I have a 3000 brushless Ryobi 1.1 gpm which is good for home use.
Thanks for the very useful details Josh! Quick question, which orifice do you recommend to safely was your car with a 3.300PSI gas pressure washer? Thanks in advance! Mattia
hi, josh. regarding the active VE52 pressure washer ( simoniz platinum in canada ), i am looking to put a quick connect fitting between the wand & wand extension. can you kindly provide me with a direct link to the parts that i require. twice now i've ordered & received the wrong parts. with your kind assistance i hope not to repeat the same mistake. cheers & thank you kindly !
Testing of different units needs to be more fair to help viewers decide which unit they would/want to purchase. When you measure noise levels in some videos your garage door is down (Ryobi 3K) or up (Greenworks 3K). Also, while testing PSI and GPM, it's nice to be using factory nozzles but a more fair comparison would be to use only one set of nozzles for all units. More specifically, it would be helpful to see the results of using the Greenworks 3K factory nozzles on the Ryobi 3K unit and then use several of your 'other' nozzles on each unit. At this point, I am not sure which of these two units I want to purchase because the testing procedure is not standardized. My only recourse is to buy both units and test them myself and then return one of the two unless you could help me/us by making a short video that is standardized. Even if you just made a simple spreadsheet of all units with a single set of standardize nozzles that would be so very helpful. Beyond these two issues thanks for your work making these... much appreciated!
I would love to see how it compares with it's Greenworks counterpart. The ramp up seems tiresome, specially for one of those days when everything seems to go wrong.
Well there thecreasoning for soft start If it hit as hard as a gas it would pop breaker every time And u can also see if this was brushed motor pay way to many amps That’s why all 3,000 psi Eltric pressure washers are 220 v with a 30-50 amp plug It’s just shit ton of power my qestion is if u use this for 2-3 hours sound like ur gonna get Hugh Eltric bill Lol 😂 Like running 1,500 watt heater for 2-3 hours lol
Can you please tell me what’s the best pressure washer we taught drop and pressure when you pulled the trigger 3500 psi please let me know best one in the market now thank you
So what pressure washer would you recommend that is real strong and I’m only use it to clean my car my house siding and my deck and driveway I would like something quiet wasn’t sure if I should go with gas or electric or if you have a link for the one that you recommend
@@annagraham6204 there's a limit to how much power can be made from traditional outlets. I'm not sure what that limit is but we're probably pretty close unless someone invents a better water pump. Btw most breakers are 15amp or 20amp
Have you had any other style of power washer? I am looking around at machines, and I was told not to get one with the pump under the machine, like yours.
Josh... I'm spending too much money buying a lot of what you're reviewing.. My wife wants to intervene! LOL
Lol the addiction is real!
Tell her to blow at 3000psi and you’ll think about it
I thought I was the only one. 😮 lol
Im having symptoms, gonna have to buy it. 😂
🤣🤣

It looks like I am sticking with my tried and true 1900 PSI Ryobi. Thanks for these videos.
Mine JUST gave out after 2 years of service lol! Best bang for buck but I want something with more PSI to get that real thick layer of foam.
@@stevesilva2687 How many hours of use did you get out of it?
Thanks for making this video! I went out and bought this exact unit yesterday and it worked great with the MJJC V3 foam cannon.
I was interested in getting this model
Do you use the 1.1 or 1.25 orifice?
I run the 1.25, with Sooprince short wand.
I saw it real quick, but it said “water cooled” which is a great help to prolong the life of the motor!
Thanks for keeping the videos coming Josh I bought the Portland pressure washer because of you and it has lasted me almost a year so far no issues. Your the man.
as per your recommendations I purchased the 2700psi unit from Lowes and last week upgraded my hose to the flex-zilla and quick connect fittings and another foam cannon. like you I don't care for the ramp up on the unit, but it performs great no issues the small upgrades really helped it does produce some great foam action like really thick which I was surprised.

did you just extend the hose? the stock hose is made by uberflex so other than the color it's the same as the flexzilla.

You can sacrifice volume for pressure and vice versa. Cleaning power is calculated by multiplying the two.

Great review! I also watched your review of the Greenworks 3000 psi electric washer. My question is, what would you recommend as I'm looking for a 3000 psi electric washer?
I need help with same issue. Ryobi I can get warranty from home Depot. Can't do it for green works, and I heard their warranty dept is non existent
pressure beats flow for all those questions. i can dump a 5-gallon pail in 2 seconds and doesn't do jack to my walk. for me all the car washing stuff is stupid. garden hose and bucket last 30 years did great.

Good review. I might consider buying the unit. On a side note. Do you know you look like Ricky Fowler (the Golf Pro) ?
In your own opinion, what is the best all around electric pressure washer to date?
For $400 I would say it's not worth it. I have the harbor freight 2300 psi and it works perfectly for the half the price. Same difference they both start off zero pressure and build up which I hate but it is what it is. I really do miss the instant pressure from the 2000 psi from the Ryobi.

I like using the soap Canon for car wash and the built-in tank for multi use soap looking at getting a flexzilla hose too. Awesome videos thank you 👍😁
Thanks Kenneth!
so I have been watching a lot of your videos. What electric pressure would you buy today to do everything around your house and to wash your cars
Not first again!! Great review.

Does anyone have an advice? I been looking and reading and cant find anything or get straight answers other than chatgpt saying i need to get compatible tip with this flow rate.
An induction motor, regardless of type, is just an enclosed motor, with a fan, so the water will not destroy it in it's working environment?
That one is already showing up in our Home Depot over here in Houston Texas
Nice! Good to know.
Do you recommend this Ryobi 3000psi 1.1gpm model or the greeworks pro 2300psi 2.3gpm for all around home and detailing?
What did you end up going with??
I went with the Ryobi 1800 PSI 1.2 GPM from Home Depot. Works great and is $99. I upgraded the hose to flexzilla 50’ and got a stubby nozzle/larger nozzle. If intended for home use this is a perfect setup and doesn’t kill the budget.
Is this a good start off to use for starting a water pressure business? Wouldn’t you need big water tanks for it?
I bought one and it pushes 5000 psi! I'm not complaining
Do you think the machine is more than enough for a sewer cleaning or unplug thanksss great video
Hey Josh. Thanks for the review. I found an interesting comment that said we’re all capped at 1200psi/.7 gpm with electric due to only drawing 115amps of pwr. Is this true?
No, the max is around 1.1 gpm at 3000 psi or 2 gpm at 1000 psi. And I think you meant 15 amps
It totally depends on your machine. I run a single phase 230 volt machine that is 2.2 gpm and 2300 PSI. It needs 16A to run. In the US the same Stihl machine runs on 120 volt and 20A. Plenty of machines that will run in the 1800-2000 PSI range and deliver 1.8-2.2 gph.
Thank you Josh. Lots of great videos. I have 2 questions. 1st. On the electronic pressure washer can you add the ball valve for rinse down and will the machine create enough pressure for a strong stream without using a pressure washer gun? 2nd question. I have had 2 shepherd ryobi Plug with the Surge protector Burns out. I never plug it anywhere near where the water is so I can't understand why that keeps happening. So what I want to doing is cutting the wire and by passing it directly to an outlet in my garage That has a search protector as well. Have you ever seen this before?
Another great video Josh. You have given great advice and honest opinions. You always steer us in the right direction. 👍
Where I'm from we have hard water it will rinse out the soap in the line after a few seconds not a issue
Hey Josh why don't you answer your viewers' questions?
You need to review the Worx pressure washers
I have a gas ryobi it works fine hate the hose but replaced it. Called ryobi to see if I could replace the forward leaning handle it is the most awkward piece of equipment I have I hate that and can not replace it they have obviously never heard or ergonomics, would love to hear from someone that straiten it.
Wow so that 5in1 nozzle has a super tiny orfice bummer thought about picking it up
Bought this cause of u. Thank you.
Awesome hope you enjoy it!
i appreciate the video, but my ocd is fucking with me about the state of the raised whites on those tires behind you.
Can you review both of the Generac electric pressure washers? They just came out this year
Can you do maybe a top 5 video review for pressure washers for car detailing?
I have been reading a lot about what the actual possibilities of pressure you can get out of these less than 220V pressure washers. There evidently is a limit and many companies are untruthful as to performance. Is this one of them also.
Love your content! Any chance you have tried the SJ SPX3550? Any thoughts on a good electric machine I can use for home driveway and sidewalk and also use for car?
You ro excellent presentation.
Super helpful! Thank you!
Brushless does not dictate longer life at all. I had a Milwaukee brushless tool go up in smoke literally the second use. My opinion is it’s not tested long term and it has more parts to fail. I’ve never had any tool fail for brushes it’s always something else.
That’s like the LED light sales pitch how we were told they had a crazy lifespan and the gov forces us to go to them yet they die just as fast if not faster than any old standard bulb but you pay way more them. It’s just deceptive marketing to me.
Actually the LED topic isn't clear because like everything else not all LED's are created equal. Also they are more prone to getting damaged from power fluctuations, voltage drop or surges. The main reason most LEDs fail prematurely is bad design from cheap Chinese manufactured brands. If you notice all the Philips LEDs can go on just as advertised. I have yet to replace a single one of my Philips hue bulbs that installed at least 7 years ago. I'm sure it's been longer but I don't want to make false claims. The LED bulb has 3 important parts and they all need to be of high quality and designed correctly for it to function properly and reliably. The first is a high quality LED. Second is a properly designed heat sink and the last is a properly designed bulb that disperses heat away from the bulb itself. As we know heat travels up not down. The majority of heat sinks are placed in between the stem and light. If you have the light upside down in recessed can fixture that heat can't go anywhere so it literally fries the circuit board. LED's definitely have a way to go for durability and reliability. It exists but you have to pay a premium for it. Buying the cheap ones in the lower price ranges will ensure you don't get a high quality designed LED.
so, is the reason you change orifice size is to control pressure? so if i want to wash my car i would use the 2.5 orifice to lower the pressure and increase flow?
Hello! i need your advice. I want to buy a foam cannon from you. with which pressure washer foam cannon will give better results for thick creamy foam when washing cars? which is the best pressure washer to use with your foam cannon? I have a 3000 brushless Ryobi 1.1 gpm which is good for home use.
What is that clear tube for?
Have you used it? Any before and after to determine which is the best?
Thanks for the very useful details Josh! Quick question, which orifice do you recommend to safely was your car with a 3.300PSI gas pressure washer? Thanks in advance! Mattia
hi, josh. regarding the active VE52 pressure washer ( simoniz platinum in canada ), i am looking to put a quick connect fitting between the wand & wand extension. can you kindly provide me with a direct link to the parts that i require. twice now i've ordered & received the wrong parts. with your kind assistance i hope not to repeat the same mistake. cheers & thank you kindly !
Testing of different units needs to be more fair to help viewers decide which unit they would/want to purchase.
When you measure noise levels in some videos your garage door is down (Ryobi 3K) or up (Greenworks 3K).
Also, while testing PSI and GPM, it's nice to be using factory nozzles but a more fair comparison would be to use only one set of nozzles for all units. More specifically, it would be helpful to see the results of using the Greenworks 3K factory nozzles on the Ryobi 3K unit and then use several of your 'other' nozzles on each unit.
At this point, I am not sure which of these two units I want to purchase because the testing procedure is not standardized.
My only recourse is to buy both units and test them myself and then return one of the two unless you could help me/us by making a short video that is standardized. Even if you just made a simple spreadsheet of all units with a single set of standardize nozzles that would be so very helpful.
Beyond these two issues thanks for your work making these... much appreciated!
I would love to see how it compares with it's Greenworks counterpart. The ramp up seems tiresome, specially for one of those days when everything seems to go wrong.
You should hear it in person. I think the camera and/or acoustics there are exaggerating it.
Well the old ryobi say green works so it’s probably rebranded or used same motor
Very helpful video. Thanks.
Thanks Josh!
Josh, can you recommend a shop or site that can walk me through purchasing fittings/hose/quick disconnects from top to bottom.?
Here you go....
www.mtmhydroparts.com/collections/spray-guns
Any good links for a 100ft hose that would work good with this machine ?
Great vid!
Very in Detail
Well there thecreasoning for soft start
If it hit as hard as a gas it would pop breaker every time
And u can also see if this was brushed motor pay way to many amps
That’s why all 3,000 psi Eltric pressure washers are 220 v with a 30-50 amp plug
It’s just shit ton of power my qestion is if u use this for 2-3 hours sound like ur gonna get Hugh Eltric bill
Lol 😂
Like running 1,500 watt heater for 2-3 hours lol
Can you please tell me what’s the best pressure washer we taught drop and pressure when you pulled the trigger 3500 psi please let me know best one in the market now thank you
So what pressure washer would you recommend that is real strong and I’m only use it to clean my car my house siding and my deck and driveway I would like something quiet wasn’t sure if I should go with gas or electric or if you have a link for the one that you recommend
what do you think about buying the Ryobi remanufactured pressure washers?
Is there another electric pressure washer you recommend ? Should I get this one over the 2300?
I'm sold on SUNJOE electric PW.
They have many different models with psi all the way up to 3400 psi.
Great video… thanks man
Im looking to buy a pressure washer that can clean my driveway and be able to wash my car. Do you recommend this for that?
I have the chance to get this for $150 new
Should I get it or is there better for the money elsewhere?
I disagree about soap though the line. It gets flushed out anyways and helps clean it.
From all the electric pressure washers witch one you think is the best?
What would you say is the better pressure washer from 2500 psi and up between ryobi and greenworks
how much litter per minute is it? thank you
Do u think once the new active pressure washer comes out I should buy the ve52 hopefully the price drops a lil just want to wash person cars🥰
Pulling 16 amps is a lot. That thing is gonna be popping tons of circuit breakers
yea i agree.
Is it true that 115amps, basically all home outlets will only provide about 1200psi/.7gpm no matter what electric pw you’re using?
@@annagraham6204 there's a limit to how much power can be made from traditional outlets. I'm not sure what that limit is but we're probably pretty close unless someone invents a better water pump.
Btw most breakers are 15amp or 20amp
It won't because they can handle peaks. Of course it's good to ensure it's running on its own circuit
Is this comparable to basic 3000 psi gas powered PW??
Have you had any other style of power washer? I am looking around at machines, and I was told not to get one with the pump under the machine, like yours.
