The Lexus GX isn't just a luxury version of the 4Runner, though. It's actually a Lexus version of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, a vehicle similar to the 4Runner but sold in markets outside of North America... it’s a true luxury V8 suv that competes with and is better than its peers.. plus has better resale value and is a reliability giant..! The newer LX and GX are close but the lx is certainly “better” but I’m not sure if it’s $30k more better... a $70k GX460 (bought ours certified for $30K) is a real value!!! Love the 4Runner with 400k and runs like new!!!!! The tundra is perfect as well(GX and Tundra have the same engine)... the older LX470 is a luxurious workhouse that will not die and still rides as good as many newer suvs and has all the comforts you’ll need... Enjoy the GX as we are....
I've used this sprayer several times now on brick pavers, a wood deck, patio, and a driveway. ru-vid.comUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX It has performed as expected on all surfaces. For larger areas like the decks and patios, I think I will be looking into a surface cleaner attachment to speed up the job, or at least make it a little easier. Hose and sprayer connections are tool-less, tight, and quick. I used the yellow nozzle on the concrete/brick surfaces, and the pressure was adequate for cleaning those surfaces.I am disappointed that these units are still being shipped with a nozzle storage holder that allows them to vibrate out of the holder way too easily and become lost, but I don't want to knock off a star for that reason. The functional part of the washer works very well, so I would recommend this product.
Finally got the Ryobi 600psi power washer today. Works much better than the DeWalt when using a bucket (no hiccups in flow at 5ft head) AND you can use hot water and other chemicals with it. Did my front deck and vinyl railings with two 4Ah batteries on mid-flow setting and 15 deg nozzle. Worked great. So far, so good!
@@jeffostroff Today I used the Ryobi to clean my Morton building doors and gutters, and around the house. Unlike the DeWalt, this sucks water like a beast. 5 gall bucket on the ground, me up a ladder with the power washer 11ft up. Never hiccup'd once. Ran on full flow today with the 15 deg nozzle and got through 16Ah of batteries no problem. Even a 9Ah fits in the O-ring sealed battery case. Really pleased! Ryobi hits it out of the park yet again. Looking forward to your review sometime.
I picked this up when I first saw it and I will say it does a good job for quick washes and simple cleaning. As for the foam cannon it sucks I used my other foam cannon you can adjust and it does a much better job. I wont say its shaving cream like for that I use my gas pressure washer but I would say it compares at about 50% which works when you just need to do quick car washes without all the hassle of gas one.
Hi Jeff. Just picked one of these up at the HD in West Kendall. You might have thought about this already but I have done a temporary work around until the community can develop a more elegant solution for the connection. What I have done is left the clear plastic connector on the power unit so I can marry the power head to both the included siphon hose and a garden hose. My work around involves involves the black plastic connector which is included to attach the garden hose. I have taken one of my brass Gilmour male quick connects and screwed it into the included black plastic. To be safe I also used Teflon tape on the brass. I noticed that once the connector was securely screwed into the black plastic, the DeWalt plastic connector "locked" into place and no longer rotated. I believe if the black plastic connector is allowed to swivel you will get leakage. Another idea is to use a double female connector on the power head and then attach the Gilmour male directly to the power head but then the challenge becomes mating the siphon hose to the Gilmour male. Just some thoughts. Love the unit so far. Cleaning screens and windows, and light wall cleaning work.
I need to try something like that. BTW, I found the pressure when using the siphon is terrible, it's equivalent to using the Dewalt in low pressure mode
I used for my job for less than an hour, not impressed at all. The plastic quick connect snapped right away. I couldn’t finish the job with because of the way they made this thing so you cant hook a hose directly to it. I’m returning it over a plastic quick connect. Cmon
You know I want to buy this thing so hard.and I don’t want to get it tell I see your review on it. And I am waiting for you since last week. This is how much I trust your reviews Jeff. Thank you sir 👏👏
I really like the DeWalt Power Cleaner test and it looks like it just might be a great tool and actually save you money if you go through enough car washes--I personally like it! Great video and I am glad I found your channel!
I live in a rural area and have well water which is full of minerals even with a whole house filter so i figured id get a tank and fill it with spot free water from the carwash so i can wash the high country at home. Also gna use it for hvac purposes like cleaning coils, blowers, and mini splits.
Some of the professional car detailers in many people who have boats and are real enthusiasts of car care , will often install those giant filters on the outside of their house next to the hose to filter out all of that stuff
@@jeffostroff Deionizers.. Due to the hard water where i live, there is no way i would wash my vehicles without one.. If you attempt on a dark color, you have insta spots no matter what.. now with one of the deionizers, I can wash and let it dry on its own.. no spots.. dirinse.com/product/d-i-rinse-pro-100-system/ is like one i have. Highly recommend for pros or the occasional washer if you care anything about the paint.. if not.. then yea, prolly not worth the expense. I even use the water from it for my humidifiers and anything that i need water for.. keeps them nice and clean with no build up on them.
@@jeffostroff The resin isn't cheap but it's rated at x gallons on a scale depending on your water hardness PPM... I wash my f150 weekly and use the water for the entire process not just rinsing among other things and one take of resin lasts me about a year.. so if you arent using it weekly or for big jobs, you can get 1.5 yrs + easily if your water isn't off the charts on hardness. min is ~250 PPM and that's mid of the scale ... IF your PPM is lower of course the resin lasts a lot longer.. I dont mind paying the price since it minimizes swirls, spots, and speeds up the process overall. :-)
I've been using my DeWalt Power Cleaner for a week now . . . cleaning the flat roof of my home and my solar panels. Overall, I'm thrilled with how it works, but the door on the battery protective housing is bound to break . . . very weak and flimsy. Really DeWalt???? The soap gun also is poorly made . . . no adjustability and the soap is depleted in less than a minute. I also wish the trigger had a lock to keep the trigger activated. I depleted 3, 9-Ah FlexVolt batteries working up on my roof over the course of a couple of hours. My hand was cramping from continually squeezing the trigger. Other than those issues, I am completely satisfied with the DeWalt Power Cleaner . . . the power is perfect for my needs and run-time is perfectly adequate for most jobs (my roof and solar panels is a big job!)
I was able to fit my 9.0 amp hour battery in there. Haven’t used mine yet though. Also, I believe the 12 amp hour is the same physical dimensions as the 9, so the 12 should fit.
@@jeffostroff I have one cuz I have the laser level. It won’t go all the way in to any of the 20v tools cuz of the plastic from what I remember. I’ll check tomorrow since I have a job where I’ll probably need my laser level.
Thank you so much for the review. Thinking of getting one for my 18 wheeler to freshen it up in between washes. It’s a full time job keeping it shiny and polished
These are great for people like myself that live in the crowded city that don't access to a driveway are water hose and you want to detail your own ride 5 gallons of water is all you need and a quiet street LOL
Good review of the washer on its “Low” setting, but why though? I would imagine most people would leave the tool in “High”. The foam attachment might have worked a lot better in “high” also. It would have been nice to see a couple fence planks done with the “high” setting. I would never use this tool in “low”. Because of the non-thorough testing this is your first video I’ve seen that was unsatisfactory. It’s as of you made the whole video and forgot their was a high setting.
I got 2 other great videos, one filmed with tests in high setting, and another testing with foam cannons 📺 WATCH: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dbK1VkINGYc.html "Dewalt Power Cleaner: High/Low Pressure Tests Cars, Tools, Sidewalks" 📺 WATCH: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5XNLNlLjit0.html Can DeWalt Power Cleaner Work With High PSI Soap Cannons? Car Wash Tips
I purchased one last week . The low setting is useless in my opinion . The high setting does pretty good would buy it again for light and small jobs . Battery hungry tan thru three 5 Ah batt in about an hour.
A little disappointed you didn’t show us the capabilities in high...other than that, your review was excellent..."right up to the moment you got shot."
If I didn't already have a Greenworks electric model from Lowe's, I might consider a battery model, but I don't think this was hands down a great buy. The soap gun flow is about the same as my Greenworks 1700psi ($99). Both look sad. I would return it if I were you. On another note, I've never seen the inside of a rim that clean before and Pearl White was the best color Lexus ever came out with. I remember that color on the sedans and coupes back in the 90's when Lexus first came out. Can you add the link for the California Squeegee, that thing did the trick!
I did not expect much with any of these soap guns so I'm not really that disappointed especially since I already have a real professional grade soap gone with quick disconnect that I used for washing my cars with anyway . But overall I was happy with the way that it was able to clean up the concrete there and it's a great way to rinse off the car
@@jeffostroff You should also link your professional model, that thing really blasted some foam. I meant to say before thanks for the review! The only good thing about the Dewalt is you have plenty of batteries. It would be nice if a company could create a battery or electric power washer that rivals the specs of a gas powered one. My electric model cleans the pavement well with the turbo tip like you did.. I just wish I could cover more area faster. By the way was that Lennox A/C the Costco special? How has your system been running?
Try the foam cannon on the end of the 2 feet lance rather than straight onto the gun. I do this on my Worx Hydroshot and I get good foam. The lance helps increase the pressure and reduces the volume of water emptying out the cannon. I can do a Mercedes station wagon with 3 coats of foam with a 1litre cannon.
Yes we have already been filming this over the last few days and we hope to have a video up next week about this a follow up video we used the greenworks soap applicator, not a cannon, more like a soap gun, but shoots great pressure soap suds because it has a quarter inch quick connect that plugs right directly onto the end of the wand. But the bottle that comes with this kit does not plug onto the end of the wand you have to remove the wand and it plugs onto the end of the housing which is ridiculous there's no pressure
Shouldn't leave it in potential freeze temps either as there will always be some water left in it and the internal plastic parts will crack, having watched some other YT teardowns of similar tools
Thanks for the review Jeff! I just dont see that tool holding up. Being someone that has been around car detailing for a while, all those plastic connection points will not last. Maybe if the unit is rarely used, but no way i would waste money on that. I even noticed the holes in the shroud around the battery.. Not a watertight compartment.
If you do any more tests with it you should try using a higher soap to water ratio. I got the ryobi with no soap gun in the box and just saw the dewalt in Home Depot yesterday lol can’t believe nobody leaked this product to me
For your vehicle washing/cleaning...Zep-O-Shine...a tad pricey, but it's the same stuff UPS uses for all their trucks... Hands down THE BEST. And you used your squeegee to get the water off??? With Zep-O-Shine...there is no water left, it all runs off! I wish you had used all the different tips, and more use of the low/high speed switch.
I doubt that is true about the water running itself off completely. And especially here in Florida where we have a lot of minerals in the water you really need that agitation to scrape it off so that the minerals are completely removed off of the surface of the paint
Watched for couple mins and then spotted it was on low sat grinding my teeth for you to spot it for rest of video, my understanding of how soap guns work it that pressure difference from in front to back of tank creates the vortex that draws up the soap so would like to think it would foam better on high setting as well as every other cleaning feature would be enhanced.
I think the tool is perfect for mobile work. Onr wash on paintwork is what I would do. That dirt you collected while drying, not a good idea, you just added scratches.
I don’t recommend blasting your condensing unit with a pressure washer unless it’s on a very low setting . You don’t want to bend or disorientate the very fine fins that are all along the tubing . They play a key roll in helping to expel the heat and subcool the refridge rent . Air must be able to cross over . I only mention this because I can’t tell how many times I’ve come across customers who completely destroy there units by squashing the fins in .
I was hoping, being Dewalt, this would be a significant upgrade to my Hydroshot, gpm wise. It's not. At all.. 😔 Thorough review! Glad I watched it instead of just impulse buying. Thanks! 👍👌✌
Yes sometime soon I do plan on ordering a soap cannon to try out and see if it will work with this low level of 550 PS I, most of the soap canons want about 1000 PS I minimum
@@jeffostroff That's the same issue I'm seeing. the non-adjustable tip on the nozzle on the foam attachment looks like it can be removed. it has 2 ears that can be pressed to remove. I'm going to try and remove it and come up with an adapter.
The volume is not bad it's not really earsplitting but I can see where people who have sensory issues to certain sounds might be bothered by it . This is coming from a guy who doesn't mind the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard LOL so I really have no problem with it
This is a really good video. Pointed out all the little petty annoyances of Chinese products without bias. In the end, I think I'll pass on this product.
Hmmm, now I'm still on the fence on which cordless pressure washer to buy. I had the Ryobi but the first box was missing one of the wand parts. The second one did a good job but the connect parts started leaking after the first week. Ryobi felt flimsy and I've been eyeing DeWalt (even though I gave all Ryobi One+ tools). Now, I'm not entirely sure.
Jeff, didn’t know you did videos on washing cars. Will definitely be checking those out. But why the need to dilute the soap in the bottle, especially to that extent, if the power washer is pushing water through there anyway?
That's the instructions of nearly all concentrated soap gun soap manufacturers. They all specify 2 oz foaming soap to 8 ounces of water in the soap gun reservoir.
If you have a walk-in shower, these devices are perfect for keeping them clean. You can draw water from a bucket or use the clean water from the toilet tank (note: not the toilet water that you urinate or poop in. Lol)
No we are saving it for another shorter video that we are making today to show the difference between high a low setting on sidewalks, and on foaming the car for washing, and removing bugs.
Found your channel a few weeks ago what a wealth of information! Being late to the party whats the story in using a Lowes coupon in home depot. And wear are you getting the coupons? Thank you !!
Welcome aboard! We had it in the video description, make sure you always check our video descriptions for additional valuable info: 📺 WATCH: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ct-i-nmbc_0.html Ryobi EZ Clean Cordless Power Cleaner Tool Review/Testing RY120350
Without a doubt the DeWalt I think is the much better buy and one of the best reasons is that the tip on the end of the DeWalt can be removed in it as a quarter inch connect quick connect and so any adapter or tool or foam cannon that you want to buy to wash your car with all of them will fit on the end of the Walt but they cannot be put on the Ryobi that is a big design oversight on the Ryobi part. Also the dewalts prayer being that it goes as high as 550 even though the pressure is not as great when you siphon it from a hose through a bucket, it is still more powerful than the Ryobi sprayer. However Ryo be is supposed to be coming out with a 600PSI sprayer that I am curious to see how well it is designed and whether or not they changed their minds on it and decided to put the quarter inch quick connect on the end of the wind that's what I am waiting to see.
Just use Chemical Guys Mr. Pink soap in your foam guns. It works great and you can order it from them in large containers of quite often it's available at WallyWorld.
You should get about a half hour of continuous use out of it with 6 ah Flexvolt battery. I recorded video yesterday for another upload we are planning with different soap foam applicators, and washed my whole car, with it, applied foam soap with it, and still had 2 battery bars left. It is no louder than Ryobi or Hart
I'm surprised you liked the turbo nozzle, in my experience with a few different power washers ( elec. / gas) I usually call it the joke nozzle. For me if I want power I use the most concentrated and then work my way up based on need. They have all ways been the worst for me. I am getting one of the Dewalt sprayers maybe it will be different? Great video
Yes I have found that the Turbo nozzle depending on how close you put it will give a little bit more concentrated energy, whereas those other replaceable tips that you put on there all they do is they fan out the water from 5 degrees, 20 degrees, or 40 degrees for example. So it gives you a wider fan Anna better rinse in the Turbo mode but the Turbo mode in my opinion scrubs better
The "turbo nozzle" is an amazing tool for specific tasks. Use it vs a standard nozzle for cleaning pavers or cleaning concrete, black and white difference in performance and speed.
Great review! Looks like just what I would need to apply a bucket of cleaning solution for my vinyl siding. Question is how high would this reach? I have a 2- story house with a walkout basement and had difficulty in the past trying to wash the top area of the siding and the gutter.
Have you used it with cleaning solution for house cleaning? Did you use the soap container or mix cleaner and water in a bucket and siphon from that? Thanks
@@jeffostroff I'm considering the sun Joe spx2598 max from Walmart no kidding. It's $80 special buy comes with patio cleaning attach, soap gun, it's weaker when comes to suds ...2000psi if you get a chance to look online lmk
My 2 favorite soaps are 🛒 Blackfire Pro Detailers Choice BF-100 Car Wash, 32 oz. amzn.to/39JFZss 🛒 McKee's 37 MK37-800 Xtreme Foam Formula Shampoo: amzn.to/36yIV9l What's cool is both can be mixed in bucket 1-3 ox per 3 gallons water, or mix in your foam gun, 2 oz to 8 oz water. Watch for next week we are showing you some awesome new foam guns that plug onto the end of your Dewalt power cleaner, that are light years better than the piece of garbage that comes with it.
Yes there are good arguments for both not everybody has the room for the big machine and there is something to be said about the portability of this battery operated machine and all I need is a bucket to fill with water in case I don't have a hose source nearby
@@jeffostroff Thanks for reviewing it. I’m just saying that this thing is not much bang for the buck compared to standard pressure washers. If you’ve got algae growing on your fence or house you’ll need a bigger pressure washer, no matter how big or small your storage is. Or clean it chemically with bleach or chlorine solutions. I love Dewalt, but this thing is only useful for very small jobs or car washing. I have the Dewalt 4400 psi gas pressure washer and it’s great, but the gpm is actually as important as the psi, especially for a 30” spinning water broom for driveways.
Notice that its a power cleaner, its not to compete with a pressure washer. Its better for regular cleaning and what not, i got one for my solar panels plus cleaning mud off the car etc. Saves time getting the clunky pressure washer out
Where is the link to your car cleanup channel? I just ordered the DW Power Cleaner and battery from Grainger. We will see if the cancel this order?? Thanks for the videos!
Hard to believe that Mercedes is 7 years old now, I bought it when it was 4 years old, paid $47k cash for a car that was $65k brand new. We bought that Lexus, a 2019 with only 8,000 miles on it last week.
@@bokiNYC I have not done an actual battery run time test yet on it but it seemed to be about a 1/2 hour on the battery 5A Hour battery What's I completed all of the testing that I had done over a couple of days IA estimated at mounted to about a 1/2 hour
I took off that dumb battery housing. It's fine, think about it you would get more water in the motor before the battery, so it's not necessary to have and now I can also see my battery life now too.
If you take it off there is one screw hidden on the right side of the battery lid that holds it on, just remove the lid from the box then looking at it from the back and you will see a spacer on the right remove by hand it may just fall to the floor, in there is a screw. Ok
I really wanna like this product but the reviews are bad. I have my doubts it’ll do more than rinse things off. Would it do ok with dirtbikes? Assuming they were given a good soap soaking.
They might have done that bottom that way because they dont actually want you to stand it up, because when it falls over it almost certainly break something lol. Prob to protect you
Without a doubt that DeWalt unit is much better because the Ryobi unit is only 350 PS I and I am very doubtful as to whether it even really puts out that much it seems to me that the Ryobi unit is the equivalent of the dewalt’s low setting. And the wall has that high setting at 500 PS I that gives you much more noticeable pressure. both units totally stink at siphoning water out of the five gallon bucket a lot of times they lose prime trying to do it and also since you're not connected up to the 60 PS I garden hose you lose that tailwind of having that little bit of extra pressure right out of the get go there's no pressure of water coming out of a 5 gallon bucket
I bought the sun joe last year but that thing is a joke hopefully dewalt should be slightly better but I dont think anyof these would be half that of a weakest pressure washer
