There is no such thing as a new "high powered electric" power washer for "$100-$150."

Besides the cast iron sleeved Honda GX 200 [honda-engines-eu.com] engine (a little less than 6hp), where this Ryobi washer is unique is it's adjustable throttle for more or less pressure. Most are full on or full off and dependent on the various tips for more or less pressure applied. Add the auto decompression, it is easier for some people to start... Grandma could pull the rope start on this one. And yes, at 3600 psi, this will clean your concrete drive with or without the optional rotating head. They had the better wheel model attachment for flat surfaces, but think it sold out.

Most gas power washers have throwaway engines unless you want to bore out the cylinder. The cast iron sleeve in this one can be replaced and use standard pistons, rings, etc. Someplace [pure-gas.org] in any decent size town, they sell ethanol free gas... use it, or at least use it at the end of the season for storage. It is only about 50 cents more per gallon with a higher octane (91) and worth every penny over water absorbing ethanol for small 2 and 4 cycle engines.

This is a great price, but honestly if your a home owner you dont need this in most cases one of the $100-$150 electric pressure washers will suit your needs just fine. This is more for people who run businesses doing power washing regularly. I find a high powered electric to be a lot less hassle overall, so if I had to choose I would go with the electric route every time.

TU for the great price.

Quote from johnulcer :
Might be a stupid question but I have a gas pressure washer and haven't used it in over a year, and there's been gas just sitting in the tank. Does anyone know a) if the gas will go "bad" or b) how I am supposed to drain unused gas? Like, is there a shelf life to how long gas should sit unused in an appliance and if so, how would I go about safely extracting and disposing of it?

I'm a total idiot when it comes to power tools etc, my dad was not a handyman (didn't even own a power drill) and never taught me anything, so I have been trying to self educate after buying my first house...
What you're looking for is stabilizer to add to the fuel. Be sure to use ethanol free fuel. Finally, the gas you have in your tank now should be drained. Follow the black tubing coming off the fuel tank, there will be metal clip to remove and drain from there. Remove fuel cap to increase the flow.

Quote from s33ker :
Agreed, with the exception of cleaning concrete (driveways, porches etc). An electric will take 10x as long!
My brother has a gas pressure washer so I would agree that something like concrete will take a bit longer with electric but nowhere near 10X. To get my sidewalk washed out only took me me like 2 hours when I did it with cleaner. I was using an AR blue 1900 PSI too so not even that powerful but it worked.

Washing outside furniture, siding, and the fence took no time at all, and that's probably most of the usage outside of washing a car or boat.

I enjoy the ease of use and maintenance free of electric and my brother is even going to move to electric when time comes.

I just got a greenworks 2100 electric for under $100 to upgrade was really tempted to get the RYOBI 2700psi washer but for over 3X the cost I dont think I would need it that regularly. The greenworks is normally over $200 but I got it open box.

RYOBI 2700psi would be considered a high power in my opinion, it was extremely comparable to a 3100 psi gas washer.

Quote from BenjaminB6518 :
I am a home owner who used to have an electric PW. Once you go to gas, especially if you get one of these [amazon.com], (they make smaller ones for Electric Pressure washers too, but the bigger ones will really save a lot of time) there is no going back. But you will have to maintain the gas one, which is something you don't need to do as much on the electrics.
Yeah but I dont plan on and do not plan to clean concrete or sidewalks every year, so if it takes me only a few hours more 1 day a year every few years it becomes more of a hassle. I enjoy the carefree nature as you mention of electric and choose it over gas and for 90% of my uses its identical to a higher end gas pressure washer.

Quote from Englishmf :

I use one regularly to clean siding, patio furniture, and my car I have no issue whatsoever.

Quote from dreamzdecora :
Not true...$150 sprayer...POS for me.
I meant $100-150 for a used or remanufactured item like this, not BNIB. Two weeks ago SunJoe had a 25% off and that stacked with ebays 20% off so you could have got a refurb on a $300 washer for around $150.

Quote from x7aler :
YMMV. Pressure washing without enough pressure is just a glorified hose. In my opinion, either get a 3000+ PSI or don't get one.
Like I mentioned on top I compared my uses compared to a 3100 gas and didnt see a big difference at all, besides concrete and sidewalk cleaning which did take longer. If I ever get one of those cleaning attachments should speed that up a lot though.

Having been in the pressure washer business for 20 years as a service tech, this is something many people out buying a pressure washer don't understand. GPM is as important if not more so than pressure coming out of a nozzle. I can clean a car 3 times faster with a firehose than a garden hose because of the difference in water volume. 2.5GPM is okay for the average homeowner. 3GPM is better. 4GPM or higher, now you're in business.
What is the maximum GPM one should buy if they're going to hook up to their homes fresh water? With water conservation in many cities, they've limited the the flow to the home, I would think the source water couldn't keep up with 3-4+GPM.

Review of Direct Tools. I purchased the recent Honda GCV190 Powerstroke deal at $160. The shipping was a lot quicker than expected, less than two weeks. The packaging was poor with oil all over the box but not sure there is much you can do to remove the residual oil in the machines. The device itself does have an issue with the pump. I reached out to DT and they promptly placed an order for a replacement pump for me. I'm impressed so far with their support. It is kind of "am I saving that much once I've factored in my time?" when purchasing from DT. It's kind of a fun gamble if you like to tinker.

Quote from KrysMarajh :
looks can be deceiving. while this is a good price, no way in hell you are getting 3600psi from a GX200. It will be closer to 3100-3200psi TOPS. so like i said, good price, but if you have ever used a dewalt or simpson 3600psi for example or have one to compare it to, it WILL NOT be the same results.

That being said...In for 1. Lol
Thanks for pointing it out and I actually had to do a little search. I don't know the relationship between psi and rpm as I didn't see a direct formula. On the Honda website the GX200 is rated at 3600 rpm while a couple of pressure washer models with ranges of 2500 -3600 psi (namely Simpson and Ryobi) and 3600 psi seem to be highest. Curious as to why Ryobi didn't design their model with the maximum potential of 3600 psi?

We have a Simpson 4500psi with a 11hp Briggs that is a great pump, but heavy. You will need deep pockets for a real Simpson setup above about 3500psi. I would not hesitate to buy this deal if I needed one... and still thinking about buying it, but if you are close to a Farm & Fleet, they have their 3400psi Simpson [farmandfleet.com] brand with a Kohler for $379. It seems like they are also having a coupon sale this weekend. But, I am sure there are other deals out there.

Wonder what brand pump is on this Ryobi? I don't know that Ryobi actually makes this washer, but it has their 3 year warranty and a 10' longer hose than most.
Thanks for the tip on the Simpson. I actually oicked up this Simpson for $299 with promo code SIMPSON300. https://www.farmandfleet.com/prod...xOfDB8WXww

Quote from Alexander1932 :
Looked at your suggestion, the pump is inferior, both on materials and design. The Wheel can be purchased extra for $50, no need to agree to a lower model to get the wheel.
.
We will take a link for that same wheeled surface cleaner for $50....

Not a suggestion, but rather an option for someone that wants a decent surface cleaner. That pump is not inferior, but rather that design maxes out at 3500psi and will last the life of the engine with a $100 wheeled surface washer for same money. Basically, you are paying $100 less for a machine that is 200psi less. Or, if you can come up with a link delivered, $50 less.

Don't get all excited about Honda engines, because until they add an oil filter, they run about 600 to 800 hours until rebuild time. At this price, I am not rebuilding.

Me, I bought the OP delivered elsewhere because the shipping for me is a lot more than they charge. I doubt if I can ship it for less than $100.

I thought I heard a discount someplace.... good find and repped. And you can have it today, rather than a month from now with OP. Smilie

Farm & Fleet used to have a service center in store, but I don't know anymore.

It was $29 to ship it to me. But at least I'll have it some time next week. Looks like this machine is around $600 on other sites.

Yes, Farm & Fleet is exponentially faster delivery than Direct Tools Outlet and someone actually answers the phone if you call.

The coupon for this weekend commercial just came on TV running in background... lol... that is where I heard it at. Alright, lunch is over and I need to get with it. Happy it helped you.

You are correct that if your water supply is restricted, your pressure washer will starve, causing damage to the pump. One way to overcome that is to fill up a 55 gal. plastic barrel and run a supply line from the low side of the barrel to the pressure washer. We used to set up an inlet on the barrel, near the top with a float shut-off valve. Similar to your toilet bowl tank. As you use water, it fills up the tank, shuts off, when tank is full. It gives you plenty of reserve water to run a 3GPM or 4GPM longer. Commercial cleaners use 275 gal. or larger totes on the back of their trucks. Only way to do it when no water is available.
Although, unless you are regularly cleaning concrete or washing large trucks at home, you don't necessarily need more than 2-3GPM.
And never use a 0 degree nozzle on anything with paint, like your car. I've seen plenty of vehicles with damage because of the concentrated pressure from 0 degree nozzles. Use a 40 degree or 25 degree on things you don't want damaged.

How much is that electric Ryobi 2700 psi that only puts out 1.1 gallon/minute?

It does not matter, but we just can't get into a decent 3500psi plus in electric that puts out 2-1/2 to 3 gallon per minute for the similar price of gas. I am looking for a 4000 to 4500psi electric washer with similar gpm to bench mount and most are 220v and pricey.

Wasn't "blaming" anyone for anything, was just explaining why I'm not aware of what's probably fairly basic info to most people. As a dude it's kind of a vulnerability to admit you know nothing about tools etc.

First, try starting it... Smilie

You can remove the hose to the carburetor, or just in front of the filter if it has one and drain the tank. You can then remove the nut from the bottom of the carburetor bowl and drain it. Be careful you don't bump the bowl, or it will fall out and there is a needle valve connected to the float that shuts off fuel when the bowl is full that you don't want to lose. But, if it starts and runs, put some new gas in it.

Yes, gas goes bad, but not as quickly as it did. A year or so is about the limit without deterioration, but it is the collected moisture from the Ethanol additive that can cause the grief. Most fuel filters will stop the water collected in the gas tank, but it also plugs them. The nice thing about draining contaminated fuel out of the gas tank is that the first part will be the water and the remainder will probably be alright. But, you may not have any... try starting it, but don't run it more than a few seconds without a water hose attached.
Thanks!

Thank you. Yeah, that's a tough sell for homeowners to store a large tank for equipment they'll use likely at most once a month.
