I got this a couple of weeks ago and used it for the first time. The hose is pretty meh and the low pressure blue tip is basically useless. The other tip (I think it's green) works well. I used it with my foam canon to wash my car and it worked great. It'll work great for applying deck wash and stuff but I'll continue to use my large one for siding and deep cleaning of the concrete.

Would you say it's worth it at this price for expectations of a light duty washer? I've already gotten burned by a crappy Sun Joe electric washer. I just want something that won't break, even if it's not heavy duty.

Honestly, I have no idea on the longevity of it. I'll be using it for light duty and switching to my nice gas one when absolutely needed. I'd replace the hose and possibly even the sprayer just due to the length of it. It was cold when I was using it too (around 40deg outside) so that may have added to the stiffness of the hose.

I'm happy with it for the price.

"This item is no longer available online." Lets you add it to cart, but can't check out.

I ended up getting the Karcher K1700 Cube. I wash my car a few times a week. Added quick connects for easy set up and easy tear down

Isn't the blue nozzle just for soap? Why is it useless?

I'm deciding if I should buy a foam cannon now (since shipping times are crazy) or wait and test out the soap dispenser built-in to this Ryobi. It doesn't arrive until at least Sunday so I can't test it yet.

It is but it's not the same as a foam canon. I can't really describe it but it's not a pressure washer spray, it's more of a fountain of water coming out. Maybe that's normal but it was pretty useless to me.

This is the foam cannon I got. Seems to work pretty well, very top heavy as the top part looks to be pretty well made.

thanks, I'm looking at a similar one on Amazon but it's the AmazonBasics brand for $19. In your experience, does this pressure washer have enough power to make that thick foam on cars that you generally see in advertised pictures?

It does, I used it and my wife was impressed and said she'd need to use that when it got warmer out.

I am waiting on Ryobi 18v edger or Greenworks edger for a while.
I recently got Greenworks 40v Lawn Mower and I am going battery powered tools for now.
Done with gas powered as of now.

I also bought this the other week. It worked great cleaning my fence and making it look new and also cleaned my concrete. It's quiet and my neighbors already want to borrow it. I've used gas before and while this is not as powerful, it works just fine for normal home use.

Great for light duty i have the non mobile version and agree hose is weak. Added mtm cannon and works well. Also did a concrete deck wash and works but yellow connector takes forever. A little bit of a hassle foaming as u got to move unit around. Prob get a 50' hose someday

How much psi should be enough to remove oil stains in driveways?
