absolutely man! It's a pleasure to help out....I truly enjoy washing my cars and it's more like therapy for me....break free from all the crap around the world and just enjoy!!
I love this little unit. Coupled with a 50 ft Flexilla pressure washer hose it is just so versatile. My gut is, with the right chemicals, the average consumer could do any normal cleaning maintenance with this unit. Siding. Driveway. Will it take longer? Definitely. But do you want to have a gas unit to store and maintain? Not me.
@@caseykelso1 hold on a moment. I think you'll like this video I made!! It's a video with all original equipment sold. please thumbs up and subscribe :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v2ohToZLVwk.htmlsi=6NK8C4RDywAroho4
Please and thank you and if it does do I just buy the ryobi siphon or i need some modification? - im starting a detailing but I find an issue that some of my upcoming clients lives in an appartment so there is no water source in it. So if I could just bring buckets with water I can use this washer for sure.
@@UwU._Sqb I read into the manual and other documentation and everything says to connect it to a garden hose and turning it on. And it noted something about the potential of ruining seals if not done correctly. Personally, I would contact Ryobi direct to see if it's ok to pull from a tank to bucket before doing it. you may need the pressure to keep things lubricated.
@@SueLeigh I created another video showing all the original equipment. Here you go! Ryobi 1800 PSI 1.2 GPM unit using in-box parts!! - Viewer Request - (4k video) is it still worth it? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v2ohToZLVwk.html
yeah, I went out to Lowes to see what they had...they had a Craftsman that was similar but about $20 more expensive.....this is a good deal as long as it lasts ....but it does have a 3 year limited warranty....and honestly , if you use a Home Depot card, you have a year to return it.....
So i purchased this washer and it wouldnt work. It turns on but turns off right after. Do i need a new garden hose that wont kink? Or maybe the water faucet i used had low pressure? I literally opened it up out the box brand new
Interesting. Without seeing your setup, it’s hard to tell. But I would start with all of the above. Make sure you have decent pressure at the hose. In general, residential water pressure ranges between 45-80 psi (pounds per square inch). If your water pressure is under 40 psi, it's considered low. I would also pay for a decent water hose. I bought this from Griots. And I’ll never turn back. www.griotsgarage.com/professional-water-hose/ Try those couple things. Lastly, maybe your Ryobi is bad. Worth swapping it out.
@@talkingwithcars i tried it with a different hose and water source and it did the same thing. I followed the instructions on the machine. Went to home depot to return it for a new one. 🤞 hoping this was one is good!
For 100 dollars just to wash your car this looks like a real winner. After adding a hose, sprayer, and foam cannon but once your set your set. Thanks for the great vid!
@@talkingwithcars I didn’t buy anything iv been looking at units was thinking of this one since I got a $30 Home Depot gift card and I found a nice foam cannon I’m gona get the trigger might get the mckillian whatever it’s called
I don't necessarily wax my car anymore with your traditional waxes....although that is fine....what I try to do is install a decent ceramic coating on the car and then maintain it with a spray sealant (drying aid) every wash.....so you are keeping it tip top shape. If you want something that will last a lot longer, then you will pay a little more and just simply wash it every week or so with a good PH balanced shampoo....
yep....I did a couple in the past but they were cringe....so I will do a few more....step by step for each product. Just to get you going....go out and get Carpro Reset....great shampoo.....
If you could demonstrate how it looks with the original packaging items that would be incredible too because unfortunately i don’t have not a single after market product
I can do a short with the original packaged items...for sure. let me try this week...it's a busy week at work...unfortunately, I can't do the RU-vid thing full time :( yet!!
The quick connect adapters are the standard M22...I believe 1/4" connector.....14mm thread but if you look online, there are kits that are available so your entire setup all matches. I'll send you a link.
Nice viewing trying to get me a pressure washer Ryobi are good ones I'll be able to clean outside around my house and wash cars with it awesome video appreciate your time and experience
Good video! I got one 2 weeks ago. Same items you chose not to use stayed in my box also. My test results; Orange 15 deg. nozzle= 1400PSI, 1.1 GPM. Turbo nozzle=1300PSI, 1.25GPM. All .035 orifices (from my larger gas unit) yielded 550-600PSI, 1.35 GPM. I use the stock nozzles for wheels and the .035's for the paint, and plan to get some .030 nozzles which should rinse nicely at about 700PSI.
wow. interesting. I'm playing around with the noddles and checking on PSI and GPM now with my Kranzle. Actually ai would have expected a higher PSI with the 35 nozzle. what size hose do you have ? 1/4" or 3/8"?
@@talkingwithcars 1/4" x 50' Uberflex with 3700PSI rating so I can use on my gas machine in a pinch. The pro's videos said I had to have QD fittings on both the supply and pressure hose, so I tried that on this...probably my 6th or 7th unit. That has cut setup and cleanup time nearly in half! Amazing the effect on PSI that even minor nozzle size has isn't it? I found PSI readings interesting too, and that having a pressure gauge (this my first) can be very useful.
Great video! I have had this unit for almost a year, bought it at Home Depot for $100, absolutely love it, highly recommend it! I did swap out the hose and trigger. it’s been flawless!
The best feature for me is the ease of storage in winter months.Pressure washers need to be stored in warm places during sub zero temps.My garage is my living space,so I need portability for storage purposes.Thanks for the review,I subscribed,like your down to earth presentation.
Thank you so much!! I couldn’t agree more. Storage is always a slight crap shoot in the winter months and this would be easy to store inside a basement or house where it’s warmer. I suppose you could bring in the gas powered one but it’s bulkier and usually in the shed. Thx again!
I typically blow dry it first with an EZGO blower...to get the majority of the water off plus to eliminate the water that's in hard to reach areas like behind lights, around trim, behind grills, etc. then you can use a drying aid like Gyeon Ceramic Detailer (spray on and wipe off) with a good drying towel....I like the one from Griot's. Here are some links.
Fair enough. Unfortunately the components , although acceptable, are not the best of quality. Maybe I’ll do a quick short for those who want to see it in action.
