RYOBI PRESSURE WASHER

- I bought a Ryobi gas powered pressure washer rated at 2900 psi and 2.5 gpm to use around the house and for a sewer jetter. i purchased this power washer from Home Depot for right around $300. I specifically wanted this model of pressure washer because it uses a horizontal shaft small engine rather than a vertical shaft engine. It features a 212 cc engine ( 6.5 hp ) and uses an axial cam pump rather than a triplex pump, but, for light to moderate residential use, it should work fine. Included are 25' of high pressure hose, 3 different angle spray tips, 1 soap tip, pressure wand, and the engine oil is included also.

UPDATE:1 year and still cranks within the first 2-3 pulls. Probably will buy another when this one finally does bite the dust ruclips.net/user/postUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX . No issues at all. Very happy with it.UPDATE: After 6 months of use and over 70 uses I would still highly recommend this pressure washer. It does vibrate a decent amount but never had it “walk” like others have mentioned. No oil leaks, still seems to run like the day I bought it. Still cranks within 2-3 pulls every time. Very happy with my purchase!Have used it about a dozen times now. Plenty of power, cranks up on 1-2 pulls every time. My only complaint would be I wish it was a little taller to make it easier to walk with it (hits my ankles a lot) and that the two hose connections were a little further apart but it hasn’t caused me any issues. Seems to run a good 1-1/2-2 hrs on a full tank, overall a well built machine and definitely worth the money in my opinion.
Yea it's an awesome machine
Just picked one up. Works well. Did my driveway and pool deck. I'm quite happy
Was on the fence about buying one. After this review I guess I’m going back to Home Depot and picking this up. Great review!!
I think it's a really good machine at a good price point and mime has been completely reliable. With minimal maintenance, it should last many, many years. Just remember to either drain the gas tank or use a quality fuel stabilizer, occasionly use a pump protector, and change the oil regularly. Thanks for watching!👍
One of the best lessons as a new homeowner I learned from this video...just take those stupid new gas nozzles off and pour "the old fashion way" thanks for the video!
That gas seems to be old. The reason I say that is because when you leave gas in the new gas canisters like the one in the video. They build up pressure and when you press that safety button it comes out the way it did like if he turned the gas can on and acted like a pressure washer. He was supposed to turn the cap at least a turn a full turn or half until you hear the air coming out then put the gas in. (If it’s old I wouldn’t had used it. Will screw up the carb with old gas and build up inside the reservoir/container
Hey brother thank you for saving me a lot of hassle. I tossed the instructions in favor of your excellent video.
Awesome, thanks for watching!👍👍
Just bought one can't wait to try it now
I bought one just like this. Can't wait to use it. Got it to get water scum line off my bass boat.
It will do the job for sure
Just bought one they are great
I agree. I've been using it to clean everything I can find around the house. Thanks for watching.👍👍
Thanks for the video. I’m shopping around now, and I think I’m sold in this one. I’ve always used ryobi tools and that work fine for me. I’m not using them every day, more of a weekend warrior.
It's been a few months now and the prrssure washer is still doing fine. I try to use it a few times a month so it doesn't just sit unused but as an overall, I'm still happy I went with this model.
Great video thanks
I bought this exact one a week ago...was confused about how much of the oil to put in because the dip stick wasn’t the one in the instructions:/
How you get the pins on the wheels that’s confusing to me
Hey bud, I’ve always owned an electrical pressure washer but want to upgrade to gas for more power. How do gas pressure washer do on idle, with the electric version I can leave it and the pump shuts off automatically. How does a gas pump differ? My only set back on switching to gas
Good vid, thanks!!!
So nice 👍
Glad I watched your video before assembling and messing with mine. I’ll make sure and add oil before putting on tires. And use funnel when gassing it up. Also I’ll buy the aerosol pump protector. Going to put mine together when I get home today. Good looking out brother.
i noticed at the other side of the dipstick oil check is another dipstick what is this one for, thanks
hello how are you, what number of water pump do these press washers have?? I bought one with the compartment to connect the water broken,
Hey Mack, it’s been 2 years since you made the video. How is the pressure washer holding up?
I got an issue with my pressure washer, i wish i could send you a videos of the issue that i have, when I open the water suply water leaks from the relief valve and the gun does not have pressure, not sure what exactly is the issue.
I know this is years late but any chance you could make a video on how to hook up a downstream injector? It seems very simple but not for this specific pressure washer.
No one EVER shows how to use the soap feature, I can't get washer to produce soap. So frustrating!
I just got this new bad boy and I did everything right but it’s smoking a little in choke mode when I turn it on. I didn’t put any fuel stabilizer mix with the gas and I accidentally left the the fuel lever on when I put in oil. Thoughts?
Although the manual says to to turn the fuel switch off when filling with oil, I don't really see how it would make any difference, I just did it because it said to. I would think it may smoke a little the first time or two it was used but can't remember if mine did or not. I personally wouldn't be too concerned about it unless it smoked excessively.
it came with a paper funnel very small ...i am glad i saw the gas mistake i normally dont have that issue on other tanks but i think its because the tank is so short so thats why when he went to put it in it bounced back out good to know ... how far does the zero nozzle shoot ? didnt open mine yet ...thanks
I only used it once trying it out but really didn't pay any attention to how far it went, I only use the other nozzles. Looking at the pressure washer, I think you are right about it being so short and the gas spilling.
to avoid the gas to cause any damage use a Gas additive
Bought one today... Immediately started smoking white from the little black engine cap with the 4 bolts holding it in place and smelling like it was burning. I followed the oil instructions and gas instructions by the manual. My pressure coming out of the wand was also sporadic, and it was start full power, drop to a trickle, and then go full power again... Any ideas?
Mine did same thing. Then after about 1/2 of use when it worked ok, it gave a big backfire and stopped. Wont restart now.
Bro 4:58 could have been removed in post . But I love it😂😂😂 great video though i just bought mine
Is there a soap dispenser on here ?
It does have one but I don't use it.
@@AllAmericanMack Mine didnt come with that, is it a attachment on the end of the wand
I didn’t close the fuel valve before I added the oil..is that bad?
I don't see why it would make any difference and doubt it really matters, I only did it because it said to but had I not been making the video, I probably wouldn't even have bothered.
Just put mines together, did everything instructed and it won’t start at all, any suggestions
I would start with making sure the on/off switch is in the on position, the fuel shutoff valve is on, and the choke is on for the first few pulls.
I just used it for the first time it went smoothly then shut it off... never used these before so the second time it used it turned it on and didn’t realize the fuel was shut off and ran it after putting choke to run and it eventually turned off. I thought it ran outta gas and added sum and now it won’t start at all??
Did you re-choke it after you added more gas?
@@AllAmericanMack I’m sorry I’m still new to these when u mean rechoke ?
I mean after you puy more fuel in, did you put it on choke again before trying to restart it?
Thanks for the video I have a question. Where can I get non ethanol fuel? I looked around and most gas stations have 10% ethanol.
Where I live, roughly half or so of the gas stations offer it as an option so it's pretty easy to find. Other than that, maybe try a marina if you have one near since it's popular with boaters. Other than that, I don't really know. As long as you're not storing fuel with ethanol in it for extended periods, it should ok to use ethanol.
Some gas stations provide ethanol fuel but as the video poster noted, it's normally around marinas or other bodies of water. Im fortunate enough to have a Sheetz nearby that carries ethanol free gas. Barring a local gas station that sells ethanol free gas, you can normally find it at Home Depot in their outdoor power tools section. It's way more expensive to buy it at the home despot, but if it is your only option, than so be it.
can you explain what to do if no water is coming through the pump?? i just bought one and did everything right and no water whatsoever is coming through?!! i even returned it for another one and same issue?? it should pump water imededitaly through with no issues, i'm completely baffled!! thx
Assuming the water hose is properly connected and with no kinks, it should be flowing water through. Have you tried connecting the water hose to the pump and starting it without the pressure hose connected to see if water will shoot out of the pump? If water comes out of the pump then there's no problem on that end. Other than that, I could I could only imagine an issue with the pressure hose or gun although that would be highly unlikely on two different units.
Hey man, thanks for the video! I’m looking to buy one myself. I was wondering if there’s a soap/chemical compartment to pour it in. I saw that there’s an injector tube but I wasn’t sure where you put the chemicals in.
You use the siphon hose to connect the washer to some type of container that you supply to hold the soap or chemicals. I've still not used the chem injector yet though because I use a pump-up sprayer. But as far as the washer goes, I'm still liking liking it and try to use it 3-4 times a month and it's still going strong without any issues.
@@AllAmericanMack So there isn’t a container like the ones they have for gas or oil that you can put chemicals in?
No, it only came with the siphon hose to draw out of something like a bucket.
@@AllAmericanMack oh okay, thanks.
You think this pressure washer is good for washing cars? Or 2 strong?
I have another question - what hose should I use for water intake? Is a normal garden hose alright or is there something else that I should use?
Just a regular garden hose will supply plenty of water so they work fine.
@@AllAmericanMack You are an absolute legend for responding so quickly on an older video. You’ve earned my sub. Thanks for all of the help on this pressure washer. Because of you I’m going to buy one once it is spring. Thanks again.
Awesome video but I have one question. Can you make a video on using soap with the pressure washer? Thanks a lot.
The thing is, I don't personally care for the soap injector so I never use it. I like to put the soap, bleach, or whatever cleaner I'm using in a pump-up sprayer to spray on, let it dwell for a few minutes, and then pressure wash it. Doing it this way is also easier to make sure the dillution is right for the job at hand.
@@AllAmericanMack Thanks for the answer and keep making awesome videos!
Heeey Brother, I just had bought one and I have problems with the water line, I connect the water line and it does not come out without starting the engine, I think the problem is the pressure of the water that comes from the street, I hear that you have some issues with that to and mention something that we can buy on AMAZON tu solve that proble, do you have any idea of what should I do?
Even with low water pressure it should still come out of the wand when the trigger is pulled. I haven't had any problems with that though. The product is called Pump Protector by Sta•Bil. You can get it from amazon or walmart, my local one sells it in the store. It lubricates the pump and helps stop corrosion when the washer sits unused for a while. How old is your washer and has it been sitting unused for a while?
When I’m done using it should I drain the fuel out or can I store it with some fuel in it ?
For short term storage, I leave fuel in the gas tank but turn off the fuel valve and let it run until all the fuel in the carb is used up. For long term storage, I would drain the tank and either run the fuel out of the carb or drain it too.
@@AllAmericanMack ok cool. Thank you!
Hey great video! I have a question for anyone that sees this, what could cause the washer to not start. I bought it brand new a couple of days ago and did everything in the instructions. When I pull the cord though it sounds like it wants to start and then it just doesn't. Any ideas? I hope I didn't get a defective unit. Thanks in advance.
The first thing I would make sure of is that you have the fuel valve open, set it to choke, and have the on/off switch in the on position. Simple things but believe me, one day I tried starting mine and it wouldn't start for anything and it was because I had forgot to close the fuel valve the last time I used it so instinctively I just moved it to the opposite position without looking at it not realizing I actually closed it.
I just got mine and the ryobi surface cleaner and did my whole drive way kinda fun took 3 hours
I looked at the surface cleaner when I bought the pressure washer and considered getting it but figured I would wait for now. So it's held up and worked well?
@@AllAmericanMack oh yea it looked cheap quality from the box when I opened it first thing I noticed it’s not bad quality it’s pretty good definitely not going to snap or anything it’s pretty thick I’d definitely recommend it and i didn’t regret it like most thing I buy lol I’m thinking about doing my aunts and grandmas house with it too I watched other video of people using it after I finished then realized I might have been too rough with it with rocks and such still works perfectly not a scratch other people make it look simple if you get if definitely find out how to use it right first lol
Thank you, that's good info to know. We're looking at a new house and and I may get the surface cleaner if we end up buying it.👍👍
U have to spray a cleaning solution then u presure wash
Damn.
297 a year ago and now it's 379
That's a 27.6% increase.
Back down to 299
When you turn it off you switch the on/off to off right? But afterwards should I be touching the choke or the fuel valve at all?
I turn the fuel valve off first and let it run until it dies out to run the fuel out of the carb, then I switch it to the off position. Really, if you do it this way you could just leave the on/off switch in the on position all the time. If you don't want to burn off the fuel in the carb, just turn the switch to off. The choke should only be used when first starting the it.
@@AllAmericanMack does your washer also vibrate a little bit more aggressive then maybe like a lawnmower
It does have some intermittent vibration. It will run fairly smooth for a few seconds then vibrate for a second then back smooth again. The vibration isn't so bad that it moves around or anything like that but I would say it's a little rougher than a lawn mower. I think it's due to the pump more than anything. I bet if the engine was ran without a pump on it, it would purr like a kitten.
@@AllAmericanMack yea I noticed the same whenever I actually use the washer and then when I leave it idle it doesn’t vibrate that violently
Tested out the 3000PSI Electric & the 2900PSI Gas, the gas one was way more powerful. Worth the money to buy gas pressure washer?
Definitely worth it to buy the gas one. The biggest problem with most electric pressure washers is the flow is very low. They may have good pressure but without enough flow, it takes *forever* to clean. I have an electric 2300 psi and it's not even close to as good as the gas.
Have you winterized it yet? If so can you detail how to use a pump protector on it?
I have and I'll try to get the video out tomorrow!
@@AllAmericanMack
I’ve tried to squeeze the powercore pump protector into the hose inlet and it will not squeeze in
I've never used that brand but I am familiar with it. Did you pull the starter rope which turns the pump and forces the protectector through? You may have to pull the rope while squeezing it to get it through.
@@AllAmericanMack yeah i tried all that. I watched another video of a guy saying that the newer machines require pressurized stabilmbrand pump protector
I didn't know that but I can see it being the case with some of these pumps. I probably wouldn't even bother with trying to get the squeeze stuff to work anymore and would get the Stabil since it's pressurized.
What kind of gasoline do you add?
Because i just bought the same model,but i can't turn it on i put the regular gasoline only
I will wait for your answer thanku🙂🙂
I only use non-ethanol gas in these small engines. You can use regular gas for sure but try to use it all up and not let it sit in the tank. The water from the ethanol gas seperates from the rest of the gas and pools up on the bottom of the tank if it just sits for a while and can cause rough running, make it hard to start, or even not run in some cases. It's an easy fix if that happens by just draining the tank (and maybe carburetor) and putting in fresh gas. So you are having a hard time starting it?
@@AllAmericanMack where can you get non ethanol?
A lot of gas stations offer it where I live. I would say check your local stations to see if they have it.
Hey man thx for the review. Is possible to add lubricant to the pump?
As far as I know, these axial cam pumps are sealed but there is a product that you can run through them to lubricate them but I can't remember the name right now. I was wanting to do a video showing it so let me find the stuff and I'll let you know.
It's Sta•Bil pump protector. It's available at walmart, amazon, etc.
@@AllAmericanMack thx
@@AllAmericanMack bro sorry if I bother you, do you think that is possible to change the axial pump for a triplex one?
If it's a horizontal shaft engine like mine, you should be able to find a triplex pump that matches the shaft on the size on the engine and the bolt pattern. And the new pump needs to match the horsepower/cc range of the engine. Check out watercannon.com and see what they have. They have a lot of pumps to choose from and is where I've bought my pumps for my carpet cleaning equipment. Don't forget that you'll also need an unloader in addition to the pump or you can buy the pump and unloader together and ready to install.
How can you tell it’s on? Is it suppose to be loud
It's fairly loud, about as much as a lawn mower.
@@AllAmericanMack I can’t get mine to work it’s super quiet
So the engine starts and runs but it's very quiet?
Where do I buy ethanol gas and also what type of oil my was a rebuilt and no info on this. Thanks
You want non-ethanol gas if you can find it. Where I live, many gas stations offer both ethanol and non-ethanol. It can also be found at marinas and places near the water where boats get fuel. If you cannot find non-ethanol gas, it's ok to use gas with ethanol as long as you either drain the tank, use up all the fuel in the tank or use a fuel stabilizer like Sta•Bil fuel treatment. As for the oil, I usually use 30 weight oil in all my outdoor equipment. If that's not available I will use regular 10 w30 oil.
This is okay for cars and car carpets right?
It's definitely ok for cars, I use it to wash ours. I'm not sure you would want to clean the car carpets with it unless you removed them first but if you did I'm sure it would blast the filth out.
@@AllAmericanMack Thanks man I appreciate the advice
How is this holding up?
Still using it a couple times per month and there haven't been any issues. I did have to add some oil after the first hour of use but other than that, it's been great.
What type of fuel you used dude??
87 octane non-ethanol gas.
@@AllAmericanMack thnx my brother
Would you recommend it?
Yes, I would. Having owned it for about a year now, I can say that it's been completely reliable and has handled every task that I've needed done. I did a good bit of research before buying this model and I've owned larger, professional and much more expensive pressure washers back when I had a small pressure washing business. In my opinion, this washer is the perfect balance of price, performance and reliability for a homeowner. It needs very little maintenance, just use a good gas additive or drain the gas tank, use a pump protector when storing it, and change the oil every so often, this will eliminate 99% of any problems. Many people get one for occasional use and when they're done, they just put it up. The gas breaks down and gums up the carburator and the seals on the pump dry out, both of which are very easy to prevent. This axial cam pumps can easily last hundreds of hours if taken care of.
Is it good to wash cars
I think it is. I've used it several times on both of mine and the adjustable tips it comes with helps. Plus I like not having to go to the carwash.
I am new to the pressure washing business and cleaning business so if there anything I need to know please rely to my comment. Thank you
What type of gas
I use 87 octane non-ethanol.
@@AllAmericanMack for now I put unleaded Walmart gas no more than %10 ethanol
I try to avoid ethanol fuel only because the water in it tends to seperate from the rest of the fuel when it sits for a while. Additives like Sta*bil can help though. When I run 10% ethanol in small engines I will either run all the fuel out or pull the tube to the carb and drain the tank if I won't be using it for a while. I use a generator for work and I just use any gas in it since it won't sit more than a couple days.
@@AllAmericanMack thanks for advice I will put non ethanol
Had pressure in the gas tank from the sun
Or is it to strong
Brick is such a bitch to clean. I almost feel like they need to provide a 5 degree tip for cleaning stone.
How do I apply bleach?
Drink it
I have 4 new motors exactly like that one sitting in my garage any takers feel free
Where you located?
Use nonethanol fuel
299 a year ago! Just paid 399.....;(
lol "Shut up"
Mine is smoking
Smoke from the exhaust or from somewhere else?
Might have the choke on
I came here to see where the chemical hose connects...thanks for showing me (not)
Great video thanks
