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.

We stained our patio and driveway to match our new home. Natuarlly, they get dirty with tire marks, water from potted plants. I am looking for something I can use to periodically clean them with. Not sure if theis too much or too little a device to use? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Some people will get all tore up about this piece of advice, but call a professional pressure washer. I've seen tons of homeowners who have ruined their siding, gutters, decks, and concrete using homeowner units. Replacing/repairing damaged concrete is expensive, and it is easy to etch new concrete. If you can find a company that will come out and just do the drive and sidewalk (unless they are huge) isn't much money. I get about .10 a sq ft.

If this is less than 2 year old concrete, I wouldn't use any pressure at all, it is too soft. 12v system with chemicals and a rinsing should do the trick. Something else here, if you stained it, depending on what you used and how you applied it, there is a possibility it is coming off/dulling with any pressure at all. Test in an inconspicuous area first.

Good luck.

I see your code find was copied and ran as a deal.... Smilie

That was a good find... I sent the OP Ryobi to a family member and still thinking about cancelling and sending the Simpson that will get there a lot sooner. They seem to be similar, but if any issues, there is not a Farm & Fleet within about a thousand miles of the recipient.

People put way to much importance on PSI when GPM is often more important.

Pros use 4+gpm washers and the proper solutions, noobs use straight PSI to destroy their house/car/etc.

From what I read, the Ryobi pump is a proprietary pump. Not sure how it is better, but I am curious of why you think so?

Any comparisons to this ryobi. Looks like it doesn't have adjustable throttle ?

I am not comparing anything but dollars spent for what you get and availability. It will be over a month before most get the OP.

There is a lot of discussion that Triplex is better than Axial (as you are trying to do) and I would agree, but an Axial pump should last about 800 hours and that is about as long or longer than the typical gas engine will last. It is all tired and you got your money's worth. If you could change the oil in the Axial pump, it would probably last longer.

I will also add that not all Triplex, Axial, or even Wobble pumps are created equal.
Good point on the hours...probably i wont hit the 800 hours for SURE....

I was looking at the axial pump on the Simpson and it appears that the view glass is removable and you can change the oil. It is the same view glass that is on their larger Triplex pumps that also get a little milky colored. Besides condensation, not sure how moisture gets in there, but same thing happens with our tractors over time.

On a side note, these small Honda engines are good engines, but I would take a pressurized Briggs or Kohler with an oil filter any day. My Dad has over 1500 hours on his riding mower and while everything else like tie rods, deck parts, etc., have been replaced, that filtered engine still does not use any oil. The hydro-stat transmissions all say the oil is good for the life of the mower and I am thinking that is a bit subjective. He puts about a 100 hours a year on it, so I took it out and changed the transmission oil at about a 1,000 hours and is now on his third set of rear tires.

I bought the Ryobi, but only because if any issues, the recipient does not have a Farm & Fleet within a thousand miles or so.

I don't know about the adjustable throttle on the Simpson, but it does have an adjustable unload valve that you can bring the pressure down to about a 1,000lbs which is pretty cool. It also has a bypass valve that when left running without spraying, it will allow cool water through to stop from overheating the pump. Simpson only has a 25 foot hose compared to the Ryobi 35 foot, but I think it is probably a better hose that does not kink as bad. Simpson has been making pressure pumps for a long time and they know what they are doing.

At checkout, but you have to choose the pressure washer [farmandfleet.com] that boro75 found. It may also work on higher priced units, but I did not try.

Good deal and I've had great experiences with the company but one issue is the long shipping lead times. I ordered a few gifts on the 11th for in stock items and as of today the 25 still processing without ETA

Which one? Type of pumps have been rhetorically repeated in both posts, while it is also in their descriptions... proprietary Triplex for Ryobi and Axial for Simpson, whereas neither are created equal. Read through both posts and I believe that all questions have been answered.

Pressure is also important, if not the primary importance. Seriously, I can get 5 gallons (or more) per minute out of a garden hose... lol

PS: Nobody would have known until you posted, but now we know you are one of those 'noobs' that you criticized. Smilie

Yea, I think their Father's Day sale was for delivery by 2023... lol
I called customer service yesterday and wait time was 123 to 129 minutes. eMail usually takes about 2 days and sometimes 3 with a canned response to call customer service... Juggle... I have to laugh, or be totally irritated with their ongoing incompetence.

Eventually, they have always delivered, but if any problems, all eMail knows is "return." Hard to return what is missing from order.

I have read it. Simpson from F&F is an Ax300 triplex, and Ryobi may have a proprietary triplex pump, but it has to be made by someone else.
