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.

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.
Having been in the industrial pressure business for over 20 years, GPM is most important.
I can clean a backhoe a hell of a lot faster with a 5GPM at 2,000PSI than using a 2GPM at 5,000PSI pressure washer. But the better, most often used pressure washer for big muddy equipment is a water blaster. 30GPM at 700PSI. WVM (water volume matters). nod

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.
Simpson makes their own pumps that in the other thread is an Axial. Asking same question from Ryobi, they say theirs is a proprietary Triplex that is possible... Techtronic Industries owns Japanese Ryobi under license, but also owns a lot of other companies (including Milwaukee).

You seem knowledgeable but fail to mention that the pump will fail long, long before the motor wears to that level. Even if you never change the oil

You shouldn't be too quick to call someone a newb or noob, you told people to adjust their pressure using their unloader. You set your unloader, then never touch it again. Pressure is determined by nozzle selection. A nozzle selection chart can be found all over the internet.

Oh, and GPM is king. I can put out about 4k with my unit, but I rarely go over about 2000 with the suface cleaner, with the wand/gun, I am well under 2k. I also use it when I restore wood decks, and I am never over about 1250. My unit cost 6k and has heat.

You have no idea what you're talking about and present it like you got me.

Anyone that has ever worked professionally with pressure washing knows GPM is king. Your silly little strawman pretending that I somehow equate 5gpm of a garden hose with 5gpm from a pressure washer is also riidculous.

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...
Don't ever BLAME your dad (or anybody else for that matter) but yourself. Without him you shouldn't be where you're today. Until he's gone you'll be deeply regret. Think about it.

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?
I ended up going with the Simpson. Went back and forth due to people in that thread stating the axial pumps will fail.

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.
A lot of assumptions here for pump longevity... Storage (not using for more than 3 days) and winterize correctly (temperature around freezing). Or not letting engine run more than 30 seconds without spraying to prevent pump overheating.

Sorry, but I have reached my quota of idiots for the day. Perhaps get in line tomorrow. Oh, and get your own siht and stop plagiarizing me.

Yea, a lot of people tend to regurgitate what they read in reviews. Simpson has a long history of making decent power washers and think you will be happy with the extras like the pressure reducing valve... sometimes you don't need that much pressure with even a wide fan that already reduces a lot. I am trying to think when... lol ... but you have the option. Smilie

I bought the Ryobi to ship elsewhere, or I would have bought the Simpson. The recipient does not have a Farm & Fleet close if any problems, but does have a Ryobi service center close by.

No assumptions.... total hours with proper maintenance are averages that absolutely relate to warranty time frames. Call the factory and ask; it is not complicated.

Some of your examples of what is ignorance and abuse have even been anticipated and proactively built into many pressure washers.... such as a relief valve so as not to overheat the pump while running full throttle while you go for coffee. They all come with instructions that apparently few read.

Thinking back, virtually every pump that prematurely failed was from freezing... someone forgot to winterize or store in a warm area. Years ago, I had a pump freeze and crack that was stored inside a heated shop, but against an outside wall when 20 below. The wall was insulated, but the cold came up the concrete floor. That was ignorance on my part.

Warranty aside, most of whom to buy this machine are not professionals and make mistakes while coping along with the learning curve. Getting full life span on the engine is a much simpler task than getting the same from the pump..

I get it, but that is not the tool's fault.... That is why the quoted hours are average; some get less and some get more. And there some people that can break an anvil.

Warranty cost is built into the tool and based on averages, it is like socialism where someone that takes care of their tool is paying more for those that do not. And those with the best warranties also cost more. Perhaps Harbor Freight is the most fair, where you pay for the extended warranty and if you abuse tools, a good idea to purchase.

Placed an order as a new triplex pump for 15 year old GC190 powered Karcher 2.5 is $200, might as well get a GX200 which is a much better motor plus warranty for $150 more.
Don't forget to drain the carb on these if putting away longer than a month. Honda Carbs clog super easy with corn gas.
