Other than getting the hose connector turned around (watch out for that one), the machine is simple to put together and use ruclips.net/user/postUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP . And very nice, too. I'm surprised at the power-it's more than we'll ever need, and we've not even used the most powerful setting yet.I've cleaned off a dirty concrete porch to get it ready for sealing, started to clean siding, and I know this pressure washer will be terrific for cleaning tools this fall.The only issue we had is we had turned around the hose connector, and it leaked. Once it was on correctly, though, we had no problems with the connection. Just remember that the end with the green knob goes towards the hose. It's obvious now what we did wrong, but not necessarily obvious at the time.
Love this video. Certainly demonstrates the small problems that pop up that can make a simple task bigger with return trips to hardware stores. Love the chicken popping around in the background
A fantastic detailed vide, sean. I really appreciated your demonstration and discussion of the hose fitting and the lack of clear instructions about the dimensions. I went to use my existing hose and the water just went everywhere! I now need to do the same thing you had to do. By watching your video first, you also highlighted the discrepancy in the hose fitting. Otherwise, I would not have noticed this problem, which would have meant another trip back to Bunnings! It's really poor communication on Ryobi's part.
Thanks for your video, and for providing a solution to the hose connection issue! I’m surprised more people have seemingly not had a problem with this; perhaps most just use a 12mm hose without issue.
Nice review mate, I 've actually read heaps of reviews about how bad the Ryobi's are after a few uses. it's a shame because they seem more robust than the Karchers. Keep up the good work, your reviews are solid.
bought the machine and had nothing but problems with the hose connection into the gun and the gun connection causing water to go everywhere even when using plumbing tape to seal the leak- dont but it as parts are not easy to replace
Cracker video mate, just wanted to give 2 tips. You didn't need to scrub the shed you just needed to turn the nozzle more to the jet setting, it was locked in too much towards the fan setting. Always make sure its on high pressure mode and you can also fill up some soapy water on the back tub on the bottom and it sprays out snow. Its a good pressure washer really strong just need to fiddle around. Oh and that 18mm must be a typo because thats false 🙂
@@countrylifeonthecoast4167 I,did end up getting one partly due to this video. I gave three vehicles a blast with the variable tip and did my mums garden wall and a sectiob of paving. Yet to give the soap a whirl, but will do next time I do my ute, as although the pressure alone cut out a lot of the work it really needs that soak and scrub. Got a concrete block wall on our boundry that's probably never been washed in 50 years, keen to see how sugar soap goes.
I bought it, but there is nothing in it, I did not find an answer to it. Does it work for half an hour, then the washing machine warms up and then I turn it on, it pulls the water and works for less than three seconds, then it disconnects and works again and then disconnects, why can you answer me without congestion?
Thanks for the Video , it 's really informative. Just wondering is there a safety lock somewhere that we need to turn off before use? We set it up today the machine can be turn on but there are no water coming out at all when we pull the trigger? I have tried when machine on & off both no water come through. Initially I thought may be cause we were using the wrong 12mm hose like you mentions in the video but from the comments below it seems other ppls have used the 12mm hose and no complaints. So now I don't know what went wrong😅
That seems strange. There is no other safety lock or anything that I am aware of. I know initially I need to have the tap tuned on and the power off, squeeze the trigger until water comes out. Then I turn the power on. But that is the only thing I am aware of. Good luck I hope you figure it out.
You not only read the instructions but you actually followed them as well? Hand in your 'Man Card' immediately. Just kidding. I'm looking at buying one of these and your video was really informative and helpful. Thanks heaps, mate.
Thanks for watching. I've been caught out before for not reading instructions so I try to read them and follow them. Goes against everything in me though. lol
Hi Anthony, The product code is 1010605. It is as per the following link www.popeproducts.com.au/hose-end-fittings/18-mm-hose-end-fittings/18mm-x-12mm-hose-connector Cheers Shaun
Ryobi is Chinese and they make black and decker kit , this version of ryobi is utter crap. Never worked out of the box ,the quality is a joke . Bosch aquatek is ten times the machine for 20% more . Before people get their back up , I’ve owned a tools hire business of 30 years and we hold certificates of warranty and guarantees for all the major manufacturers . We also write reports on new equipment before they go on pubic sale. This ain’t a good piece of equipment and it still uses black and decker parts .
Hi Shane. I'd be taking it back to get a refund. I've found Bunnings to be good about that. Shame though that it didn't even last a year, I would expect a lot better, especially as they give a good warranty on them.

Such a patient man. Enjoyed the video, thanks. 🇦🇺
Cheers for video.
I'd try the regular garden hose, see how it goes. If any problems- it's in Ryobi for not providing the proper equipment
Thanks for your video, and for providing a solution to the hose connection issue! I’m surprised more people have seemingly not had a problem with this; perhaps most just use a 12mm hose without issue.
Thanks for watching. I think you are probably right about most people just using the 12mm hose.
Thank you, it gives some thought for me to chose the pressure washer that suits my need. God bless you.
You are welcome!
Nice review mate, I 've actually read heaps of reviews about how bad the Ryobi's are after a few uses. it's a shame because they seem more robust than the Karchers.
Keep up the good work, your reviews are solid.
Thanks for the feedback. I've read some of those reviews as well. Time will tell if it keeps working.
@countrylifeonthecoast4167 How is it holding up? And what hose size and connector size did you stick with? Thanks and have a good one!😊

Cheers mate, looking at getting one of these, good overview.
I'd put a lazy tenner on it the soap made the difference.
I agree with you about the soap. It seemed to make all the difference.

Great review - thx for sharing!
Sorry mate but really feel for you how did you not know that about the hose connectors. Like watching grass grow.
The hose cost me $80 at bunnings, great vid, thanks mate.
No problem 👍 Thanks for watching!
Good thanks
True blue honest site. Thanks
Hi, do you know what part number you had to get for the 18mm to 12mm adapter

@@countrylifeonthecoast4167 thank you so much. This video and tips were really useful
So it just reduces to the unit anyways? I don’t see the point of the 18mm hose.
I have one, I enjoy using it very much
great show. can this washer handle long range ? for example, rinse the window on second floor.
I haven't tried that yet, but I'd be pretty sure it could rinse a second floor window.
Thanks for watching!

Then how about kracher k3 or bosch 135?
mine is 7 months old . used once run like a charm . now it will not pump up to pressure . junk ! not happy

Shame though that it didn't even last a year, I would expect a lot better, especially as they give a good warranty on them.
Anyone here cos they've just brought one and trying to figure out all the attachments? 😂
You waste a ton of water though
that's 16 mins wasted anyway, boring dragged out.
Very dragged out. 🙄
🥱
Never heard of the skip button to fast forward?
Well, after watching this dragged out 🥱 video & reading all of these comments, I'm not buying one of those Ryobi pressure washers.
