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.

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.
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).

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.

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.
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...
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 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.

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.
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.

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.

Don't forget to drain the carb on these if putting away longer than a month. Honda Carbs clog super easy with corn gas.
