Father in law left us one of these, bought to fire her up to use tomorrow thanks to you!
Fantastic!
Great review. Thank you. I picked one up on marketplace today and washed the car as soon as I got it home. Of course it wasn’t dirty. Just had to try it out tho. Also never tried the soap but very pleased with this unit so far. EXCEPT for that hose reel. It winds that spring hose up too tight. Then you will likely get it kinked when unwinding if you aren’t careful. So I ordered a two pack of bicycle straps on Amazon today. They won’t be here for three days. But I’m planning to do with them just put the first wrap around the handle and the second wrap around all of the hose. One end can stay connected to the washer. The hose can be coiled in fairly large loops so it won’t be a problem anymore. Thanks again for your video. It helped me decide that this was the one for me.
I should’ve said those were 2” X 16” Velcro bicycle straps. I didn’t need a two pack, but couldn’t find a single one. I’ll put it to use somewhere.
Sure thing!
I’ve tried many electric pressure washers and ryobi never disappoints
It's been solid for me.
@@ALinsdau How has it held up another year later?
Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial video. I have learned everything I needed to know, easily! I am looking forward to watching your other videos as well.
Glad it was helpful!
He turned into Micheal Jackson for a split second. 5:40 😅
Great review man. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video fyi the other feature that you should have mentioned is the soap dispenser will only work with that blue nozzle attachment the soap will not dispense with the other two nozzles only the blue one
Great tip!
"You could die" is not something you expect to hear in a pressure washer review. :V
Nice review by the way, thank you.
Thank you. I try to keep it interesting.
It could do you in.
L⁹
My favorite part was when he said he had “medium hands”
Exactly the video I was looking for. Thanks!
Great!
The whole reason I came here was to see how the soap attatchment works😑
Same it’s ridiculous he didn’t even talk about that
That’s y I came on too
Same
I have the same pressure washer. It has been giving me fits lately. It works fine for a while then all of a sudden it stop working. Once I tie the trigger / handle open it works fine
I picked up one of these (used) for a super cheap price - and have been pleased with its cleaning ability. Past that - there is really some "head stuck in bucket" engineering/design here that leaves me wondering about Ryobi.
To start - the whole frame is just too damned short. Last thing I want to do is attempt to drag this thing around with a bad dose of hunch back. I'm only 5'11" - and the handle really needs needs to be a good 6 inches higher.
Next is the wheels. Quite obviously no one at Ryobi ever tried to drag or push this thing around a real yard. And yes, the wheels fall in to and kind of lock up with every little divot. Ironically - Ryobi could have picked up the overall height of the unit by simply putting a nice 10" wheel on it.
The drum. What a joke....but it does have a snappy little handle thingy that folds in - for why, I don't know. Ryobi ignored all that space between the motor and the handle - and put in a drum that winds the cord up tighter than gnat's ass.
Connections: Both of the water connections (In & out) are located so that you have to reach around the frame and get down on the ground to connect hoses. Again - there is a full 16 inches of wide open space between the handle and the motor......
The electrical cord. Why - dear god - is the electrical cord on the bottom? Trying to wrap the cord - AT GROUND LEVEL - in 12 inch increments is almost painful. Again - there is a wide open space between the motor and the handle.....
Lastly - as this reviewer pointed out - the soap container. It falls off quite easily - and there's no way to tell how much liquid is in it.
In essence - everything outside of the actual pump is a bad idea sold for major bucks. Ryobi should be ashamed.
Good pointers.
Detailed thorough review. Thank you.
My pleasure!
Thanks......I like the compact nature of this washer, I am concerned that it will not be powerful enough to take care of cleaning siding on house
It gets the job done for me. If you need more power, you'll need a gas unit. They have more power but require more effort/maintenance.
I just cleaned a very large deck that was literally black with pecan tree sap. I soaked all of it with Purple Power - and then started the wash. The gunk came off pretty easily. Of course, it took some time as I had to keep the nozzle within 3" of the surface. After the cleaning - I sprayed the deck down with a diluted bleach solution.
Is this an older or newer video review? I bought one today but the electric wrap cord holder is not on mine. One of the reasons I bought this. Please advise me of the date if your video.
I bought it when the video was published.
Thanks so much for this video. It made life easier for me when getting started on using. Just one problem. The soap does not appear to be coming through when cleaning. I reattached the hose a couple of times with not luck. Nothing in the documentation. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.
Have you tried the low pressure nozzle? Can you see fluid going from the soap tank? You should see it flowing.
@@ALinsdau Thanks Aaron, I did see the soap moving through the line with the low pressure nozzle. When using the other attachments I thought more would appear during use too, and the soap well is not going down very much, even after doing my entire driveway. My guess is its released minimally. Thanks for the videos, helped a lot!
Soap will flow ONLY with the soap nozzle. Soap will not flow with any high pressure nozzle - by design.
@@netxtown1524 which one is the soap nozzle?
I need help with mind. I have this one. The handle and hose broke inside cuz it’s plastic. I can’t find replacement. I can’t find my manual and Home Depot is not much help at all cuz it’s 3 years old.
Maybe try contacting Ryobi?
can we talk about my mans monster calves
:)
I haven't used mine in 4 years and wanna use it but I can't get it to connect to my garden hose. anyone know what to do?
Check the threads on the connector.
I've never been able to figure out the whole soap/sprayer work. It would be nice if it worked with the black and orange spray heads.
It only works with the low pressure nozzle (blue in my case).
For the water going to the unit do u use a 3/4 or a 5/8 diameter garden hose?
Ty
I use 5/8 with no problem.
Pro level review. Thanks
You bet
Hell this is the best thing ever for your drive way
Too true
Hi had it for years love it I need the model # which is under the soap dispense and can't read I need the manuel to change the 0 rings where can I get it thanks !
I have same one but i broke it got new one and the new stays on then kick up psi but my old one like this video it is off
Good luck!
You said you were going to get into how the hose was suppose to be rolled up on the spool.
Thanks for pointing that out. I'll have to show it in an update video.
@@ALinsdaudid y ever make that vid
Did u figure out how to spool it
@@greedojenkins9984 yes ruclips.net/video/Kz_FPwwr07I/видео.htmlsi=HEYGFnVt2UcupKTA
Where do you add the pump lubricant?
To the water inlet.
Great info! TY
Thanks!
Thank you for this great video. My borrowed this same unit from my brother but have not use it yet. Is it possible to use the black nozzle to spray the brick wall to clean it? Or would you recommend the other nozzles? My house is pretty old. It is about 70 years old.
The turbo nozzle is quite effective.
So, you can't use an extension cord with this?
Officially not supposed to.
Hate that the soap only is able to be used with the blue attachment. I need the soap to wash my house haha
You can still use a detergent with the higher pressure but it won't foam the same.
Does this hold up? I bought a greenworks and it just broke after 5 uses, one of the pieces just broke and the water just spills out completely unusable
Hey, great video. We had the same unit, until today when my neighbors gave our pressure washer back. Seems like someone used laundry detergent or some type of soap that ruined the entire systems. I went to Home Depot today and bought a similar unit, but my wife and I couldn't remember what we paid for the unit in your video. Do you remember?
Not off the top of my head. Probably full retail. :(
Thanks for sharing 🥰
No problem 😊
Great review - thank you!
Thanks for watching!
I just bought mine at my local Home Depot and it was clearance for $149.99!
Nice!
I did the same earlier today lol
Thanks for the review. Just got one handed down to me. You have killer views from your home. What city is that?
Looks like GA!
Ok but how do you hook the hoses up that’s what I can’t figure out
Inlet water hose on the side, high pressure hose on the back. Good luck be safe.
@@ALinsdau thanks! I figured it out, it wasn’t screwing on but it turned out I kind of had to force the hose end into the hole a bit.
Should I buy one like this to start a very very small pressure washer business?
Might be a good option.
Also, no hose reel at all. Don't get it.
Too true.
Very cool! Thanks for the info!!
You bet!
great content
Thank you for watching!
I bought this same pressure washer a year ago. Never used it but I want to. I can’t find my manual to hook it up. Do anyone knows how to connect these two hoses? I having a hard time connecting it.
Good review. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
This set was so nice I purchased a second set when I ended up adding a second 50’ hose to my set up. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxG9W58byG1ZFYaD32YfLk74_TrU5mNkXV Only down side hooking two hoses up with quick connects you end up with a 6” ling section of fitting would be nice if there was a union type fitting instead that would save a huge chunk of material in line with my hose. But that’s just how I set it up. I go between a 50’-100’ all the time. Otherwise mine hasn’t leaked once used Teflon tape of course and have been running these since early spring 2022!
Thanks for watching!
I have the same one and my soap attachment is the exact same way and I have the same problem.
It's an annoyance for sure.
Thanks for sharing!
You bet!
Have you ever had it lose pressure but the pump still run? I have had 2 of these and they’ve done the same thing I don’t know if it’s not getting enough water or what but I need to figure it out.
It’s usually air in the line.
With this pressure washer do I power it on first then turn on the water hose or turn on the water hose first and then press the power on button?
Turn on the hose, then run water unpressurized until there's no more air, then turn on the pump.
@@ALinsdau Cool, thanks for the info.
Thanks for the review and all but you didn’t even hook it up for us. My water pressure isn’t coming out strong and I’m not sure why.
Here's a video on that problem: ruclips.net/video/gD055A7OApM/видео.html
Turned on not building pressure for some reason
I bought the same model at a yard sale. I got home connected it and started to leak at the garden hose attachment. Any clues on how to fix or new parts? Thanks.
Put a new gasket in the garden hose or replace the end of the hose they sell them at your local hardware store we there it’s lowes Home Depot harbor freight etc
Maybe the Ryobi website?
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
A professional reviewer? I didn't know that was thing.
Crazy, isn't it?
The blue is to pour the shampoo
Great pointer!
My soap container doesn’t stay on
That's one weakness - it falls off pretty easily.
Nicely done
Thanks!
Do you have to add oil to this unit?
Not that I've seen in the instructions.
Please How to use the soap dispenser step by step tutorials thank you.
If you add soap to the container, it will auto despense.
will it work on a jackery 1000w generator?
Maybe, but the pump startup might trip the breaker.
Hello, do you have a link for just the wand attachment? Not sure which one to buy?
ryobi.com
Can you the reel hold a 50ft hose?
It'd be pretty awkward. I just hand-loop it and drape it over the back.
You didnt show how to coil the hose. Especially while attached
I didn't like their hose reel. I just hand coil and hang it over the handle. Thanks for pointing this out.
Awesome
Thanks!
I got my waggle head stuck on it pls help
It might have a small rock in it. Happens to me sometimes.
Have you used this on windows?
Yes. Just be careful not to jet the water into the house or into the frame.
I have this machine and I love it but the design....Ryobi failed with this one.
My "waggle head" isn't waggling anymore it just sprays, it doesn't spin.
Could be worn out?
Cruz ✝️... cool Vato 👍
Thanks!
$329 on Amazon $199 Home Depot!
