Great review man. I just bought the same model which was a open box from Home Depot for $200! I'm excited to put this to good use. Thanks for this video!
I have the 3000psi model and love it, just need to make sure to use ethanol free gas or dry the gas tank if it’s going to sit awhile, or get some carburetor starter fluid when you bring it out again.
Cool video, the humor is spot on "lift with your back-not your knees"....ahahahah! Great review because you come across as a regular person. Some dudes take themselves too seriously when giving reviews. I purchased this Ryobi, with concrete cleaner attachment, based on your review. Can't wait to try it out. Thanks
Thanks for the kind words. I try to be as natural as possible... keep it real as the kids say these days. Hope the pressure washer worked out for you. Thanks so much for watching!
fun video. i have the same setup. you can use the disk and make this work a lot faster. use your wand for cleaning the edges where your disk won't reach. like up against the house and in corners. much faster to use the disk.
Great vid; they're good washers, got 1! but here in Australia they've got Yamaha motors and 3200psi the hose that come with it [ which I threw away] was as flexable as steel 1inch cable and only 10 mtrs long. No oil comes with it and no adjustable head only single tips x5 which if not in properly disappear somewhere never to be seen again!! Oh, got carried away, sorry, anyway just a light smear of white petroleum jelly,! keeps the o rings in good condition!
Thanks for a really good review. I think for me you convinced me though not to get this unit. When I watch you on those tough driveway spots you really look like you're on top of it and back and forth a lot. I think 6670 CUs just isn't really enough for a driveway.
Just got mine. Turned the water on at the spigot and it shot straight into and out a hole 4 inches away. I think it’s an alternative intake and is supposed to be closed off with a short bolt, but mine didn’t come with one. Any clues?
no big. turns out Ryobi included diff size oil. mine turned out to be 12 fl oz size so i first dumped 10 and just kept eye on dipstick. got my 1st cleaning. i got the surface cleaner, too.
Super easy to operate. The down pressure from the water spraying out makes the surface cleaner glide across the driveway/sidewalk. Thanks so much for watching!
2.3 gallons per minute, lmao. Hey, don't feel bad. Gallons per minute is the first thing that popped up in my mind too. If that were true though that thing would be using more gas than a freightliner
An average garden hose allows water to flow at a rate of 5 - 10 GPM (gallon per minute) at a pressure of 30 - 50 PSI (pounds per square inch). A light duty residential pressure washer uses 1.6 GPM at a pressure of 1750 PSI. This gives the pressure washer between 5 - 18 times more cleaning power, using 68% less water. I was referring to water output Thanks for watching!
I haven't used the soap detergent port with the pressure washer. This is a good question. I'll do an update when I pressure wash my house. Thanks so much for watching!
I have trouble starting it. I’m 5’1”?? Oil & Gas ok, checked filter looks fine. Attached hoses. Took off end sprayer, turned on water to make sue there wasn’t any air. Maybe I can’t pull or have length to pull. I have it on open gas, and choke. Its two yrs old its either Spark plug Or?? My husband Just tried too. No go. He will pull the spark plug. I think plug would last more than a few yrs. min, amount of use?
Dang. I'm not an engine expert but it could be spark plug. Could also be how you store it if you have cold winters. I hope its an easy fix. Keep us posted.
Most of the time it is a carburetor problem caused by the poor fuel that we have. A carburetor clean will likely get you going. Be sure to not store the unit with fuel in it. Also, if you can, do not buy normal fuel. Most have 10% ethanol in it. It is the ethanol that corrodes the system. You will have to look, but depending on where you live, you can get Recreational Fuel "Rec Fuel". Some stations may have a dedicated pump. Sometimes it is called "Pure Gas". If you live near a marina, you can get it there. It will cost more, but the fuel will last months longer, though I still stand by my first statement. Do not leave fuel in the tank or the carburetor. Once you get it cleaned out, go to "Rec Fuel" and most of your carb issues will go away. Good luck.
I forgot to mention a couple of troubleshooting steps. 1. if you do remove the plug, you can put a very small squirt of gas directly into the cylinder. Put the plug back in and give it a few pulls. If it starts and then stalls, you know it is indeed the fuel delivery. Here is a quick video if you want to take it on for yourself. It is not hard to do, but takes time the first time you try it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fDnmqxpsfkg.html Good luck.
You keep saying take the air out of the hose first but never showed how, can you please show how, a lot of women who have been married for a long time are not any longer and now are learning to do all this in there own
Been awhile since I made this video but all you have to do is squeeze the trigger once you have everything connected and your water is on. Before you start the pressure washer. A small stream will come out and u will hear the air pops.... when they stop you are good to go! Thanks so much for watching!
