If you’re someone like me who’s fully invested in the Ego ecosystem with several of their products and therefore has several high capacity batteries, then I think their power washer is a perfect investment and I can’t wait to get it in a few months. But without even having to use it in person, I definitely wouldn’t recommend it if it’s your only ego product. Just get an electric one in my opinion. Gas is too much of a hassle for the minor benefits you’d get compared to just electric.
I was wrong. I thought the gas would smoke them all. Great to know as I'll be in the market soon so looks like Ego will get my money. Thanks for doing this.
For the same $799 you can get a very nice Simpson with a Honda engine like the model ALH3425 or similar. It'll outlast 10 times the Ego and give you better performances.
Put the turbo on the gas nozzle on the gas ..I guarantee it will clean better then both the others..that's why it's called a turbo nozzle it adds pressure
Turbo nozzles are designed to optimize and maximize the pressure you can get out of your pressure washer, all the while cleaning surfaces faster and better without exerting more effort. I'm surprised it came with it normally it's a extra accessory that you can purchase separately
I still can't get on board with battery for bigger jobs. I pressure wash my deck and driveway every couple years. It takes 2 to 3 hours to get it all. I couldn't imagine having to stop every 60 minutes to recharge the batteries and wait an hour for them to charge. Either that, or buying $400+ worth of extra batteries and chargers. I could live with corded electric if I had to, but then I'd need a 75 ft extension cord and the plug would be getting soaked and tripping the GFCI plug outside. (Speaking from experience). In a perfect world, I'd have a battery powered for easy quick work like washing the car or cleaning a small patch, and a gas powered for when I have serious work to do. And it looks like you need a better nozzle on that gas pressure washer, that zebra striping shouldn't happen with a wider nozzle. Even though I know you were just using as they suggested.
Thanks for the comment man! I agree, they’re fine for someone with something pretty small but probably not for most folks. What’d you think of the audio levels? I tried a new way of editing them and hoping it turned out right
@@TheLawnReview everything sounded great. Volume was good and consistent. If it wasn't, it was close enough that I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
I think this opinion makes a lot of sense. Basically, if you need a pressure washer for around the house use and small projects go with ego. If you need something stronger, it'll be more expensive anyway, and unless you're going to be running a business, either buy a separate product for those big jobs or hire a professional.
Hey man I just subscribed? Have you reviewed Westinghouse WPX3200e Electric Pressure Washer? I've spent a ton of time looking for someone doing actual psi and gpm tests on it but I haven't found a food one. First time pressure washer buyer here. Would like to trust the advertised specs but it's clear not to when it comes to pressure washers unfortunately. Thanks for the help in advance if I do get it!
Should've used the same tip for all . As for cleaning a driveway a surface cleaner is a better option than a tip and I highly doubt a battery powered power washer will be able to run one well. Also electricity and batteries don't mix well with water. For the price of the Ego one can pick up a Simpson pressure washer with a Honda engine that puts out 3600PSI and 2.5GPM.
I appreciate the comment for sure! I used the tip provided by the manufacturer. It would be unfair to the brands that actually provide good tips if I gave everyone the same tip.
@@TheLawnReview Comparing a 15 degree nozzle to a Turbo nozzle makes this an apple to oranges comparison and a variable that needed to be eliminated. I'm willing to bet that if you used the turbo for all they would all have similar results considering the tested powerwashers' PSI are all relatively similar.
@@TheLawnReview That's the beauty of quick connects, you can change out the tips. Unless the Ego is some proprietary size and wouldn't fit the other wands. Here's a video that shows how the Turbo nozzle cleans better than a 15 degree. Same pressure washer, just swapping out the tips. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dmOpGUk0im0.html
You used a turbo head on the EGO. And used a regular head on the Petrol You cant compare the 2. Petrol wouldhave still outlasted the Electric, and if you used the turbo head on the Petrol it would have left the EGO for dead..🫵🫵
@@TheLawnReview admittedly, I'm still undecided on which to get to pressure wash a house. You've obviously got several, I'll take your least favorite off your hands. 😊🫴
