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.
TU for the great price.

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...
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.

That being said...In for 1. Lol
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank boro75
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.
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.
Farm & Fleet used to have a service center in store, but I don't know anymore.

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.
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.
My statement was....

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.
Teach him how to google - "Drain Gas from lawnmower"
Its not difficult..simple process...disposal per local standard...
First, try starting it...
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.
