- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Today we've got the Ryobi 2,300 PSI 1.2 GPM High Performance Electric Pressure Washer, model RY142300 for review. At the moment, sold only at Home Depot. It's a great unit, but as we'll see in throughout this video, may not be worth it's $100 price premium over universal motor-powered units. #ryobi #unboxing #review

Ryboi Induction Pressure Washer
Ryobi 2300psi pressure washer
Bought this in 2019. Still running strong 2024. Reliable, works.
Yup, still going strong for me as well
This company stands behind their products. Mine was dead out the box 8 months after purchasing. Replaced. No questions.
That’s awesome to hear
Very thorough and detailed review, I appreciate the time you took with this. Going the extra yard with the gauge was a nice practical test! Weeding while watering... BONUS! I also appreciate the video slider you're using :)
Well, we bought one on my job as the company tried various brands of electrical pressure washers for cleaning big AC coils, cooling towers and ducts. So far this green meany is the only survivor. I've put at least 800 hours on this sucker, still goes strong. This are under the sun 85 degrees plus tropical hot and humid hours of use. It's a fairly good product for what you pay, even the updated price of 329 dollars. That said I'm very meticulous about purging lines before and after the use. Highly recommend for a household setting.
Right on. That’s a good long-term data point.
I am confident then that mine will last
Which setting would you use to clean the coils?
Sells currently for $299 at Home Depot on 3//5/2022.
What one is the only survivor? The greenworx or the Ryobi? Both are discussed in this video and you mentioned green. They both are green.
I've had my 2nd one now for 4 months and it works great. The 1st one i sent back as the power switch never worked when i got it. I changed the sprayer hose right away for a 50ft on that was better quality and i got a shorter spray handle. Great Sprayer
You must be an engineer or something because this was the best pressure washer review I've ever seen.
My dad was(is) an engineer. I'm a CPA, maybe picked up a little bit of mechanical knowledge along the way, lol.
@@aaronstestlab I knew you were some kind of big brain. You covered literally everything and crunched all the numbers. Made me glad that I purchased a Greenworks 2000. Thanks!
It’s funny how they call it brushless when every AC induction motor ever made since Nikola Tesla invented it is brushless. (Except repulsion motors)
This washer is good for cars and light duty around front yard and back yard at house. Solid 7/10 rating in my opinion.
I got one year out of mine. Basically, I wound up spending hundreds of $$$'s to pressure wash my mobile home one time. When done, I drained all the lines. Springtime and it didn't work. Disassembled the unit and found the plastic valve (yes, plastic) had become corroded in the pump housing. Which is cheap aluminum by the way. It has corroded with scale in the water over the winter and no amount of CLR fixed it. Save your money and rent one for your yearly chores. It's a helluva lot cheaper in the long run. Btw, I'm a retired engineer with a background in metallurgy. Ryobi could have spent a dollar more to incorporate corrosion resistant materials. Cheap...just plain cheap.
The updated one that is sold now has a total stop system on it now. Also the feed hose is on the opposite side. Love this pressure washer. Not loud and worked it non stop for hours at a time on my house and an old crusty bass buggy pontoon boat-thought the carpet was black turns out it has grey carpet-blasted that crud right outta there!
Glad I watched this b4 buying it.Thank goodness I placed it back on the shelf. I too thought it was way overpriced. GREAT video.👍
One of the best reviews I have ever seen for any product! Keep up the great work!
Nice timely review in 2020 as I am seriously considering buying this unit. I have never had a pressure washer but have been doing research on pressure washers and their associated equipment. Two main things I have learnt: Nozzle size is important. It refers to the actual size of the orifice in the nozzle. 0, 15, 25 and 40 degree refer to the shape of the nozzle or jet stream. The nozzle size can be determined using the unit's Max pressure and gpm and selecting nozzle size on the nozzle size chart. Secondly, for foam cannon use, because the unit has a small gpm of 1.2 which is lower than gas powered units and comparable to other electric units, you need a smaller (1.1mm) orifice on the foam cannon to better agitate your soap and give thicker foam. All things considered, I would choose this unit over a comparable unit from greenworks simply because in my country Ryobi tools are marketed and used and should something go wrong, I should be easier able to find a technician/parts for the unit. I cannot say the same for greenworks
what country?
@@johnmiller9219 the Caribbean
@@anderson8601 good man
This is a good one my patio is cement and it was filthy. I thought I needed a new one! Not after using this! St Clair shores Michigan bought at Home Depot
I have to say I didn't expect much when watching power washer reviews but your review was awesome. thanks!
I’m buying those fittings just because of how well made your review was. Thank you.
i viewed tons of pressure washer comparing videos, this video is the best and the most scientific one.
What an excellent, high quality review. Very good job! I am highly critical and very analytical myself, so this is a badge of merit from the harshest RUclips critic. Subscribed.
Much appreciated!
Damn this video is detailed! You’re answering questions before I even had a chance to ask/think about them! Loved how you rephrased your findings to simplify them for audience! 🤔
Absolutely the brushless motor; its reliability and longevity is why you would buy the Ryobi. I am disappointed in the drastic reduction in pressure when using wider and higher flow tips wish they were more upfront about that.
In my opinion, the devate over a brushed versus a brushless motor when it comes to a power washer is a bit moot, since either will outlast the pump.
The reason the pressure was so los with the 40 degree nozzle is because the orifice size is too large for the low flow of the pressure washers u need one with a 2 orifice size for the small washers and the pressure will increase with the 40 degree
Thanks for the review. That didn’t make me want to run out and buy either one.
Mu gusto exelente precion y el unico detalle que el autumatico dejo de funcionar y no apaga al soltar el gatillo ahora lo uso de manera directa pero aun sigue funcionando
I've bought this yesterday for 148 CAD. Still haven't opened it, I hope this review helps me to either use it or return it.
I just picked this up for free yesterday on craigslist so sounds like I totally lucked out!
Respect ✊…for the video….. how about…..If you wanna wash a car 1.2 gpm is ok …. But to wash driveway, or house I think 2.0 or above is better… what do you think 🤔….
Buying a used one for $100. Just want an electric pressure washer to wash my car. small stains i might make when doing basic maintenance to my cars.
That's for the review. Loved the video and i liked how you tested it on other surfaces/objects a normal gas pressure washer would handle easily.
Aaron, your reviews are "da best"! 😊
Excellent review wished I saw this before I bought this model a year ago. Used it once this year on the car and worked great. Next time to tackle the pollen on the deck and porches and the pressure is enough to water flowers. Just trying to find somebody that works on these is impossible. Home Depot sells and offer no service or were you can get service. Ryobi says to try this place 55 miles away but call first as they may not service your particular tool... Tomorrow I call and if I am lucky I get to drive 110 miles to drop off and another 110 miles to pick up. Worst problem is I just found out a neighbor services Greenworks 10 miles away. Before it went bad I purchased a $500 40V lawn mower and not feeling good about it.
Right, that's why I think electric pressure washer warranties are a bit of a gimmick. Shipping/transport charges to the service centers drain any value from them.
That's what happened with My Karcher. Died on second try. I just bough this Ryobi thinking it would last longer. I'll do like the upper guy said and drain the tubes correctly before shelving it for the winter.
I bought the Ryobi unit... it's sitting in the garage in its box right now, waiting on me...
I have 2300 plus 2700 models both are excellent love them
Adding the pressure gauge in the decimal meter is very professional I think I would keep the green works
Agree
Tips are rated to gpm and degrees.
Thumbs up for protect our national parks plate. Great video.
did using the quick-connect added pieces somehow cause a drop in pressure measured? Another video guy shows a firm 2300 psi with the 15° tip ... Great video overall. Thx
Excellent review 👍.
Very loud it seems. Guess I'm buying the 3000 Ryobi psi electric washer.
? Can you connect the electric power cord to the inside outlets of your home.
My outdoor outlets are not working.
Thanks.
God bless 🙏
What's the deal with the "Pump Protector" mentioned (barely) in the manual??? The quick start guide lists this at the end: "Before storing the unit" stating: Always add Pump Protector after EACH use and before storing." Of COURSE this is sold separately!
I just use Sta-bil brand pump protector at the end of the season. Don't bother with it every use.
In Australia, my Karcher K4 has 7 years warranty as per the box
When I am done cleaning I can’t remove the hose it is stocked What am I doing wrong?
My doesnt hold pressure. Do u have any idea how i can fix that problem?
Bought one of these and it worked great until it didn't. After washing my driveway I tried to wash my patio and the unit died. The power would turn on but no pump action. Took it back for a gas model . . .
Like the video. Nice and thorough. My personal experience was, First bought the Greenworks because it was cheaper and didn't seem that much different. Took it home, put it together, used it for about 20 minutes resetting my GFCI almost every time it kicked on on a 20 amp circuit, put it back in teh car, took it back and went to Home Deport and got the Ryobi. The Ryobi's "idle" function made all the difference. No breaker trips and good performance.
Tips have different orifice sizes. That 40 degree tip must have a much larger 3.0mm orifice. The tip spread is irrelevant.
Aaron's Test Lab I will get the $130, 1800psi Ryobi corded compact pressure washer and later if I need more power I will get the $380, 3000psi corded Ryobi pressure washer that way you have both compact for light jobs and a monster to do any other tough job.
dude, you completly omitted the GPM part, the cleaning capabilty is PSI X GPM, cause its air and water combination that gives the rated pressure. if 40 degree tip is letting more than 1.2 GPM in, it will drop pressure with inverse correlation!
What’s your recommended electric power washer? Taking back the green works 2300 tomorrow.. seems orettty weak. Couldn’t even get through cleaning a fairly new concrete driveway today.
I just returned the GW Pro2300. It leaked, however it still worked great
That's too bad
I believe the Greenworks is made in China...the Ryobi Vietnam...big difference to me...
Please explain the difference. Thx.
It doesn't start how can fix it
The quick disconnects that you added on what's the id of those compared to the hoses that you're using
So what would you say is the best pressure washer that costs the same or less than this one?
Looks pretty cool but why only 2300 PSI should be 4000 PSI and 2 GPM pretty low on performance
Only so much power in a 120v outlet
Is it still working in 2023
Great vid. I have the same ryobi unit. Got it on sale at Home Depot for I think $199. Well worth it.
I liked the review and comparison, but testing the water nozzle jet stream with bare hand is a bad idea. Just incase it cut right though or shredded the skin to pieces. Also it make others think that they can do that. Someone will get hurt if it was done on a more pressure pressure washers. Just the mentality and habit. I recommend not doing it.
When the Ryobi Pressure Washer is idlling, the unit sounds more like an Air Conditioner. After all, it is a compressor.
Looks exactly the same as the model we have in Aus but our model has a 2750 PSI but is $499
Does the Aus version come with a covid detector and automatic lockdown mechanism?
Just attached a metal bar across between the two wheels. 05:14
Like Kramer, my shower head is so weak in my apartment, is this a good alternative? Thanks.
I have no idea what this means
You have to get the Commando 450!
I’m sorry but this was a flawed test. What size orifice was the 40 degree tip? That matters for PSI way more than degree. Put a 2.0 or a 2.5 orifice 40 degree on the Ryobi and you’ll get around 1000-1200 PSI which is ideal for vehicle detailing. I’m willing to bet yours is a 3.0 or higher.
Very interesting comparison.
curious, did you have the valve set correctly on the foam gun, I have the same one but on a 1850 psi karcher and it soaps up like shaving cream, if you use a high suds soap and adjust the valve.
I always wondered what soap to use for those soap sprayers I'm going to buy this one you provided, as well as the quick connects.
Another question, can you use an expendable hose that connects from home to machine
Soap depends on application. No problem using an expandable hose to connect this to your spigot.
@Aaron's Test Lab thank you so much! Just ordered the attachments ! Should get here tomorrow with my prime
You have the wrong 40 degree tip, it should be around 1400 psi with the proper orfice size tip.
Wish mine was put together, def was not.
Hello, here 2300PSI is working pressure or max. pressure?
El equipo es de trabajo continuo osea que no corta cuando lo estas usando tengo una hydro ryobi 2300psi y quiero saber eso si corta o no corta
Very nice job!
Was the 40 tip rated for 1.2gpm or 2.5. Usually the 40 is sized for gas washers. It’s all on the size of the tip.
You're right; the orifice size is impt. not just the angle; did Aaron check this?
Can you link the Amazon fittings the quick release fittings? Thank you appreciate it.
They're linked in the description
Can you use a Power station to connect to this Electric Pressure washer like a 'Jackery Power Station"?
That would entirely depend on the rated output of the power station.
Great review and very timely. I'm sitting here trying to decide between the 2300psi and 2000psi pressure washers from Ryobi and Greenworks. You've helped eliminate the Ryobi 2300psi from my consideration. But now, what about the Greenworks GPW2300 vs the GPW2006, hmmm.
Tough call. Since these pressure washer videos seem to do well on my channel, I'm thinking of returning the Ryobi 2300psi and picking up the GPW2300 just for testing.
@@aaronstestlab That would be great to see.
I see Greenworks also makes a 2700psi unit, the GPW2700 that's under their pro line. Might just go big.
@@aaronstestlab Go for it! I'm not interested in that one but I'd still watch your review. That one looks odd to me, like they deliberately made it to look like a gas-powered washer. It has the same 1.2 GPM as the others. I'm thinking the 2000psi Greenworks hits the sweet spot for me. Think I'll pay Lowe's a visit this weekend.
It's a great unit. Aside from the fact it doesn't have a low-flow motor cutoff, I've been very happy with it.
I have one that the pump went out. I cannot locate a new/rebuilt pump for this model. Any ideas where I can find one. Thanks! Enjoyed the video.
Sorry, I’ve never looked for one. My thought has always been, that if it lasts three years of regular use, and then goes out, it’s earned its price and I’ll just buy a new one.
I highly suggest using a "pump saver" product. Any store who sells pressure washer products will carry it. I use it and have never had a pump failure on any washer of mine.
And always purge air before starting. Not trying to sound arrogant, just want to help folks get the most out of their $$.
So could you use the 2300 for washing a car or siding of a house by just switching out the different nozzle attachments?
Yes
(8/16/22) If you see this, could you go over how to winterize the power washer.
All I do is spray in some pressure washer pump protector.
Wow, what a great job you did! Awesome review!
I got the 3300 psi ryobi love the thing
Check out his latest review on the greenworks 2700.
Better but a bit more expensive.
Update: bought August 2021- handle/storage did not come assembled and the hose attachments on the motor are on separate sides now.. disappointing
So how do we turn on and off the soap
My question too. Mine doesn’t automatically dispense anything.
awesome review
You never mention anything about power washing a house. How does it work on that?
Fine
I am not able to get water out from the 2700 psi 😔😔
How do you make it foam using the soap tip. Like do you mix water and soap?
You have to buy a foam canon…link in description
Which one is better to use gasoline
Is this better than katcher K7..?
Hi,
Can you tell me where you got the PSI reader to attach to the pressure washer. I wanted to do some of my own tests. I feel my little Ryobi 1800 psi does better with the 40 degree tip for car washing. I just like something with wheels. That’s why I am looking at this 2300psi one.
just search pressure washer test gauge on Amazon
@@aaronstestlab What size fitting?
I think you are using the wrong 40 degree tip, thus the reason of pressure drop.
Don't pay any attention to what the PSI says! What you need to know is what the (GPM) Gallons Per Minute is, when it comes to pressure.
I also highly suggest you never spray your fingers with a pressure washer, if you do with one that has enough pressure, you'll cut yourself with it. I've seen it happen before!
What gpm is the best?
2.5 GPM will do the job just fine, if you're only planning on using it every so often around the house.
If you want something to use several times a year and maybe start a business with, or wanting the more power to do the job quicker and pulling around a lot more weight isn't an issue for you, than I'd recommend a 4.0 GPM. They make up to 8.0 GPM machines, is what I believe is the highest GPM there is. Those are real expensive and way too much of everything for something to just use around the house with though. They also have Hot water pressure washers that work even better, but again not something to spend all the extra money on if only using around house a couple times.
I recommend getting a turbo nozzle for any pressure washer. If you have a good size driveway, and / or walking paths, I'd also look into getting a decent surface cleaner attachment, as it's so much faster than using the wand and normal tip on a large flat surface.
There are a ton of pressure washing videos here on RUclips and can learn a lot more from watching them
Great review! I use a Dewalt 4000 PSI for my channel
These machines are designed like the dewalt the factory tip adds back pressure
Hi Do you think can this clean house brick ? Thank you
yes
I bought one, tested it on the car, driveway, side of house, and immediately returned it. I would love to use an electric, but I found it weak in comparison to a gas powered unit at the same price point.
Yeah, 120V washers really don't compare too well to gas-powered unit power wise. They're just really convenient and quiet.
Mine isn’t wobbly at all. Just purchased one. Maybe they revised it.
can this remove paint off wooden siding.?
If you are not careful, you can dig into the wood with it. So… Probably
Gallons per minute would be the cause of the different pressures. Also the nozzle that you bought aftermarket is the wrong size for the machine. For the pressure to drop down to 500 you must have bought a 40 degree with a larger oriface. I'm guessing a 3.0 or 3.5? Look at a nozzle chart to select the correct oriface size and you will still get 2000 psi with a 40 degree nozzle.
Great detailed review. I bought a Karcher and when it was delivered - oil was soaking the shipping box, so returned it. My primary use will be for soap foaming my cars. Does anyone know if the Greenworks and Sun Joe have standard fitting nozzles so different brand foam cannons can be ued? Thanks
Not sure about all Greenworks, but these two I reviewed have standard M22-14 fittings:
ruclips.net/video/UXU9JrVz_is/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/99WQUCApG1M/видео.html
Sun Joe needs the adapter M22 15mm to M22 14mm to fit other equipments like foam cannon.
Excellent review. Thanks!
thank you for your review I'll pass on this
so the 15 degree nozzle wouldnt have any issue what so ever taking off mildew / dirt from vinyl siding?
It sounds like the motor continues to run even when you release the trigger. Is that correct?
Yes
It has a gas style axial cam pump with unloader valve instead of a pressure switch
I have this one. It works great
Picked me one up for home use last night, gonna go power it up right now and do the sidewalk.
Did you like it? Did it work for you?
@@collapsingquantumwav yes it cleaned my sidewalk good.. check my page I got a video.. I also use it to wash vehicles with the foam cannon..
