Sure it is only $5 off normal price, but for $85, not going to find a much better deal than this for a general purpose home electric pressure washer.
This one has a higher GPM (1.76) than most in this price range (most are 1.1 - 1.3GPM). This means it cleans better than the lower GPM ones, even if those have a higher PSI.

I bought it last week for the higher price and am very happy with it. Works much better than the old 1750psi / 1.1GPM Harbor Freight one I was using.
Home Depot did price match for me though.

Pressure washers are rated by cleaning units (CU). You get the CU by multiplying the PSI x GPM. The higher the number, the better and faster it cleans.
So the Ryobi is 2160 CU, the Westinghouse is 3520 CU.
Plus the Ryobi is refurbished, no idea on the warranty, the Westinghouse is new with a 3 year warranty.
Plus you are paying $7.50 for shipping, free shipping for the Westinghouse. So total for the Ryobi, you get a refurbished, worse cleaning, unknown warranty is $70.50 (Price shows $63 for me as of posting time), or a new Westinghouse that cleans better, rolls around easier, has a 3 year warranty for $15 more.
It sounds like it can't do 2000 psi while doing 1.76 GPM at the same time.
Some other people seemed to think this 2000psi is just the first few seconds after the nozzle turns on? I don't think the pressure and volume can be manually adjusted?
home Depot spec says 3 year warranty but the product description says "All Westinghouse pressure washers are functionally tested in the factory and are backed by our 2-year Limited warranty "
You are better off getting one of the newer Greenworks or Ryobi high flow pressure washers for around $150 which also come with much better accessories
I agree. I have the one you recommended and I like it for the price.

Is the 2500psi unit listed above better, yes. Is it worth 2x the price? For me, no, it is not.
I know I was using a Harbor Freight 1750PSI 1.3GPM unit [harborfreight.com] (real world is maybe 1200 PSI and 1GPM) and it took me 5 hours to do 2/3 of my driveway.
I finished the other 1/3, plus a sidewalk, porch, and the curb on the street in 1.5 hours (the "real world for the Westinghouse is 1400PSI and 1.3GPM). This included me going back over several areas of the driveway that I had already done with the other pressure washer because it did not clean it well enough.
Is this Westinghouse the best deal ever, no. Is it a good deal for the majority of occasional use homeowners, yes. The Ryobi is not a bad deal if you are wanting it for washing a car and such, but the Westinghouse will work better for actual pressure washing.
