- RYOBI 1900 PSI Electric Pressure Washer REVIEW - Watch me clean with the Ryobi 1900 PSI / 1.2 GPM electric pressure washer (model RY1419MTVNM) while sharing my likes and dislikes, as well as information worth knowing. I've used this wheeled. cold water pressure washer to power wash patios, vinyl fences, cedar fences, decking, driveways, walkways, and siding... so I know what it can (and can't do). I purchased this from my local Home Depot for $159 in early 2021. My only regret is getting the 12" wheeled surface cleaner attachment which works, but it's not much better than the 15 degree nozzle.

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.
Ha! Thanks for sharing your experience.
bought it to wash my car, i spent like $10 per wash each time and i like washing my car once a week. This is perfect.
Excellent! I don’t recommend using the Turbo Nozzle on your car as it could remove paint if you’re too close to the surface.
Wise investment
I have this. It's great so far! Have done my siding and a garage door. The luggage style handle and wheels are useful when it's hooked up to a hose. Otherwise, yes it's very light... I'd guess not even 15 lbs.
Thanks for sharing your experience with it. Overall, works well for me.
Great review. Had this model for a few months, watching this video gave me some great tips on how to use it better.
Glad the video was helpful! Thanks for sharing your experience with it.
Great review. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! 😃👍
Nice video. I was hesitant and wanted to buy this unit but heard it wasn’t powerful for pavers. After watching your video, I’m definitely going to give it a try. Hopefully with a good detergent/ solution I can get great results on my pavers and driveway.
Worked well on our concrete pavers using the turbo nozzle. I helped a buddy power wash a driveway of all concrete pavers last year and we used gas pressure washers (2800 psi). At 2800 PSI some of the pavers lifted off the ground which created more work. We had to screed and reseat some of them.
Good luck, mine got a short and wouldn't power on in my 3rd year of owning it, probably used it 15 times.
Use cleaning vinegar (6x stronger than regular) from your big box store for your moss and weeds. Mix with a little dish detergent in a pump sprayer. Works like magic
Thanks for the info. I like using vinegar to clean some surfaces. Just keep in mind it is a bit harsher on concrete than bleach.
My gasoline pressure washer uses 3 gallons per minute. The reason I bought this washer is I don't have to go looking for fresh gasoline and having to worry about changing oil in the 5hp motor. My Cat pump can't be left standing running idol for over 2 minutes. It has an unloader valve that helps circulate the water. The oil in the Cat pump is non-detergent. You need to change it out about once a year.
I can live with this electric pressure washer. It is small and powerful.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Much respect sir. Salute
😃👍
Of the "5" dislikes, only one really pertains to this washer as the others would pertain to ANY pressure washer out there. Water use, noise, messy ... I wouldn't count those as negatives to this unit itself.
Great and fair point! 👍
Thank you for the review
Very welcome! 🤜🤛
Im trying to disassembly the thing and its waaay easier for u, mine gets stuck😅. But great video, very helpful.
Glad the video was helpful. I wonder if hard water is making the connections stiff.
I Hve a champion gas power washer for heavy jobs and the ryobi for washing my 2 cars, for the price its a good choice
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Hi. Thank you for the video.
How many times do I need to put a pump protector for maintenance?
I do it every fall before I put it away for the winter, but if you’re not planning to use it for a few months, it’s a good idea to do it then too.
Is there a technique to get the mixing tank to work? I put some soap in there and it seems to not be coming out through the wand when I am spraying.
Hmmm..the soap/detergent doesn't come out at full strength since it gets combined with water. I wonder if the little soap hose is clogged.
I'm thoroughly confused now. Was looking at the Ryobi 2,000 PSI pressure washer but this one seems a better build. Two questions- Can the Ryobi pressure washer foam blaster gun be connected to this and can I use my normal Pinnacle car washing soap with this?
Sorry for the delayed response. To answer your questions, the foam blaster works with the 1/4” quick connect of this model. I haven’t tried it so I don’t know how well it works though. As far as soaps/detergents are concerned, you should only use products marked “for use with pressure washers.” Also, keep in mind this unit releases soap in 20:1 (water:detergent) ratio so if that isn’t optimal for the product, I’d say not to use it.
I had it for about 4 years and I must have used it for 5 or 6 times and I used filtered calcium, lead, drinking water First the design is funky. I have never used any of the attachments just the nozzle and the T attachment. The started leaking and I couldn’t use it anymore. So I had to toss it in the recycling bin
Ugh! Thanks for sharing your experience. I’ll start running the cleaner through it more often.
Thank you fro this video do you think this pressure washer is good enough to use it if I was trying to start a business
I wouldn’t recommend this pressure washer for non-consumer/business use. This model is good for light cleaning around the house. A business would be better off investing in a gas powered model. Gas models tend to have higher PSI (2800-3200 PSI) and can power through large jobs quicker.
Would this be enough pressure to blast spray paint off my concrete patio that might have been there for several years? Thanks.
I don't believe so. I've never tried to remove spray paint, but the pressure washer couldn't remove paint that was spilled on our driveway.
This week I purchased the Ryobi 1900 PSI pressure washer. I'm glad I got that one. It works really well. My driveway looks brand new.
What I would like to find is a good soap that I can use in a foam jet. I would like to find some that will put a heavy coat of foam and remove all the road grime. At work I used to use some on my company car. It was made by Champion Paper Company. They would mix 3 5 gallon containers in a 500 gallon vessel and fill with water. I think the water pressure from that pump was over 3,000 PSI.
It really did a great job with cold water.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Is the soap optional or required for operation? My Mom's didn't use soap and some smoke started showing during the 2nd use. Any clues for causing the smoke? She said she turned off immediately.
Soap is not required. I rarely use detergent in the pressure washer. Smoke is never a good sign and could be electrical (power) or mechanical (pump motor)… or both. I’m guessing the unit also smelled hot? If an extension cord was used, check that it was the correct gauge since an underrated extension cord or not enough power in general (if other things were using energy on the circuit) would put strain on the pump motor. If the unit is underpowered or there is a blockage somewhere (pump, hose, wand, nozzle) that would cause overheating. It’s really important to make sure all the water is out of the unit before storing it. I always turn the unit on its sides for a few hours to drain/dry and then run the storage solution through the pump to keep the pump and seals healthy. Since it’s only her second time using it, I’d suggest returning it or if it’s still under warranty contacting Ryobi. Good luck!
Why did you suggest not to use an extension cord? I can’t connect to my outdoor outlets as they are covered. Will the extension cord make it lose power?
The instructions say not to use an extension cord, which is why I mention it. The pressure washer could loose power if you use the wrong cord and it could burn out the motor if it’s not getting the draw it needs. Therefore, you’d need to select the correct extension. If I use Ohms Law (Watts = Volts x Amps), Watts = 120 x 13 amps, that’s 1,560 Watts. So at a minimum I’d recommend a cord rated for 15 Amps and at least 1800 Watts (I say that because residential voltage can vary) Some short (25’ or less) 15 Amp extension cords can handle that, but if it were me, I’d use a 25’ 12 AWG cord, which is what I use with my table and miter saws.
@@BruceAlanR Gotcha. Thanks for the feedback!
As Bruce basically mentioned there's zero reason not to use an extension cord, as long as it supports the power draw needed. Instruction manuals are mostly about lawsuit avoidance. People are dumb and can't do math, and then they look for someone to sue when things go wrong.
I just picked this model up from the Big Orange Box. Specifically to prep 85ft of peeling painted fence for painting and because it had wheels and a handle. I have mobility issues so anytime I can get an appliance of this size on wheels I'll do it. Pulling stuff around beats the hell out of stumbling around trying to carry it when it's hard enough to balance me on my own two legs. Let alone extra weight more that what my belly has!😂😂😂
Do do think you are being a bit harsh on the criticism about those ivy roots. Those roots have grown into the wood and most of the time leave behind tracks of the root. I'd think the application of stiffly bristled brush along with the appropriate elbow grease should take care of the problem, but that's not why we bought a pressure washer for; to have to go back and exert more physical labor to complete the task. That's working harder not smarter.
Awe forget I even said anything.
Have a nice day and thank you for taking the time and trouble to put yourself out there and helps us understand. Peace.
Ha! Fair point regarding the climbing hydrangea roots. Other than gouging them out of the wood, they’re not going anywhere… in fact, they’re still there (two years later). Glad the video was helpful though. Let me know how the power washer does cleaning your fence since scrapping and staining a leg of our fence is on my to do list for this summer. 😃👍
How often do you, maintenance. After every use? Or like every month. Or does it vary on use ? I probably use mine about 3-5 a week washing my cars.
I empty the machine out after every use, but only use pump fluid once a year when I put it away for the winter. 😄
Is this machine compatible with the other Ryobi guns?
As long as they are quick connect and work at 1900 PSI they should be compatible.
You get "cord spaghetti" with the the loud gas monstrosities too
Ha! Yes! Hose spaghetti.
would you recommend someone get this one or a different one?
That’s a tough question. I review items to merely share my experience using them and try not to make recommendations; however, in reviewing tools, I try to demonstrate what they can and can’t do in an effort to make it easier for folks to determine whether it meets their needs. For example, for removing mold, mildew, algae, and moss from patios and stone work, this model works well. It’s not as good at removing lichen from wood surfaces. It’s also good for washing the car and car mats. Hope that’s helpful.
@@BruceAlanR thanks... It was the first video I saw on your channel so I wasn't sure
You can use an extension cord. 25ft 14/3 or 50ft 12/3. You're welcome
Thanks. I use the 12 gauge cord I use with my table and miter saws.
Dude I have boxes that go back a decade! Opps! did I say that out loud?
🤣
Durable?🤔
So far so good and I use it quite often.
Can you put a pistol grip on it?
If it’s a quick connect fitting, then yes.
How much does this weigh? This is a woman asking!
Great question! When the unit is stowed with the hose, wand, and attachments it weighs just under 20 lbs.
Can you use it to wash a car?
Of course! Although I don’t recommend using the Turbo nozzle since it may remove paint.
On sell for $99 now
Wow! Good price. Thanks for posting.
I have the original 1700 psi washer, bought it for 100 bucks, after so many people testing the psi and finding it pumps out 1900 psi. Ryobi rebranded it and sells it more expensive, dont believe me look up the 1700 psi washer
Ha! Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.
I like how there is no face.
😃👍
"😅It's great because that's not how I want to die."
Indeed!
it just doesn't have the power to finish cleaning projects in a reasonable time....
Indeed. It’s definitely slower than using a 3200 PSI gas powered washer. My buddy and I did a loooong paver driveway, patio, and walk in a few hours. Unfortunately it was so powerful we had to reseat pavers because they lifted and shifted. For the DIYer though, electric pressure washers will get the job done… just not as fast as you’ve said.
So you're saying that I can't get rid of heavy weed population from the interlocking at 1900 psi?
It will blow out weeds and moss with the turbo nozzle; however, it won’t be as efficient as a higher PSI model.
I was using a Generac 3100 PSI, 2.4 GPM, gas powered model the other day (big job) and it was so powerful it was cutting trenches between the pavers and brightening them up (without soap or chemicals). Unfortunately it was also so powerful that at times it lifted and shifted pavers, which meant reseating and recompacting them prior to using polymeric sand.
Like to see real shoes. Silly number of reviewer are running the washer in open toe flip flops. 🤷🏼♂️
Ha! My boots are the first tool I grab before starting any project. Flip flops are for the beach. 😃
That hose is crap. That hose is crap get a flex seller Uber flex get a flexilla or uberflex. Buy a separate foam cannon and short gun as well to avoid residual in unit. You can use this for cars and anything else you want to apply fluids.
The Greenworks 2300 for example comes with the uberflex
Thanks for the info.
Am I the only one who can't wrap the entire extension cord around the loop?
I don’t have that issue, but I can relate. I have that problem with my miter saw.
