Thanks for the detailed unboxing and review! I was considering the 18v version but I already have a 40v 4a Ryobi battery and this is perfect. I wouldn't have found this model if it wasn't for your video. That extra handle is great for stability. How many car washes can you get out of a full charge? Nice Miata btw.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad I could help! Haven't used it to wash the cars yet as I still prefer my gas powered pressure washer since I can attach my foam cannon to it. When it warms up here in the next few weeks I'll be really putting the 40v washer through the ringer as we'll be washing a lot of the exterior of the house. Keep an eye out, as I'll be making me a more indepth video on some of the uses for the power cleaner
@@HarryBallsss It seems they are mostly the same--the ratings/specifications from Ryobi are the same. Also the tools are externally identical from the battery up. In fact it looks suspiciously like the base on the 40V is really a ONE+ base, and what they've done is simply take the 18V tool and in-built a 36V-to-18V step-down converter on it to make it run off the "40V" battery...that and of course the different battery compartment, which holds the 40V battery instead. The 40V version also comes with a handle though, which I don't think is in the ONE+ version, probably because it becomes more unwieldy with 4Ah or larger 40V batteries.
Thanks after watching ur video ill be getting mine soon as soon as they have them i got the gas one but its to time consuming with this makes it easier for small jobs thanks again
I just bought this Ryobi 40v pressure washer. I like it. I do notice the power difference compared to my older 20 volt Worx Hydroshot 320 psi. My favorite setting is the Turbo setting.
I'm still amazed by it. I just want to run around the house and clean eveything with it. The 40v does give it some Heft but why not get a work out while we clean 😂
@@thehousemann any chance of a side by side comparison video of the 18v 600 psi model vs this 40v? By the looks of it this one has a little more power.
It's essentially the same. You might get a little more run time out of the 40v. But go with the one you have the most batteries of. I have more 40vs then 18v.
Could be a number of things. Make sure the new battery is fully charged. (just cause it's new doesn't mean it's charged/good). Test the unit with a different battery to rule out a bad battery. If neither of those work, it might be a defective unit.
Used it over 6 months and it stopped working- makes a wheezing sound and died - had the 18v 600psi - it also has some thick brown liquid leaking out when you use it and permanently stained my clothes. Just wanted to share my experience on this unit
Not sure if it’s good for caked on road salt/hardened mud after a N/East snow storm. When operable the DIY Coin Op presher washers seem to be a better option.
@@thehousemann yes agreed. Your video is excellent. I am based in New York City and they salt the sh-t out of these roads. I mainly drive all around the burbs. Problem is the cleanups are only functioning when the weather is like 38° or warmer. An old trick from a car wash guy was to fill a bucket with hot sudsy water wipe on and then wipe off with a towel quickly. I’m still very interested in these portable washers. Seems Workz has one for 750 psi which is pretty good. Of course, then I’m going to need a larger bucket lol
@@Normalhowaboutyou with the suction ball attachment. Just take a 5g bucket with you and you can run the unit from wherever. Shoot, make it easy and get one of those large blue 5g water jugs.
This would be really good to rinse road salt off in the winter. Anyone have a recommendation on what solution to run in it to best get the salt off the car?
That depends on the size battery you use. I've always used a 4ah battery and it's never died on me, but longest ive used it is about 45min. Haven't really tested how long til empty
How are you supplying the water? Via hose? I know this might sound dumb, but make sure the water is on 😅. I've started the unit and tried using it and realized I never turned the hose bib on. If your still having issues, try a different water supply method or check the tip. If those don't work, since you just got it. I'd exchange it.
Good question. I think it ends up being a limitation of the power output of the batteries. Most other battery operated pressure washers don't break out of the high 100 range. If you want over 1k psi you'd have to switch over to electric honestly
@@thehousemann ryobi makes a 36v pressure washer in the UK. I think 1100 psi. Lithium cells can push 30 amp. But more strain or amp draw on a 18v battery, but 40v you can achieve higher wattage output, more power on the motor. So a 1000 psi maybe doable.
@@cameranmanner4701 just looked it up. That unit is the beefier dual battery wheeled version. In this case it seems to be a matter of limitation with the compressor. The handheld design is holding it back from reaching that 1k psi you're looking for. That's where the sacrifice comes in. Size/portability over power.
I'd say yes. The turbo does this pulsating thing that's awesome at getting dirt off. Just did my lawn mower yesterday and the the gorilla cart. Took everything right off without killing the paint.
@@thehousemann Thank you. I have different size batteries (not near them now to confirm). How much continuous time would you get from whatever you use? Cheers.
@@JohnRCiccone it's hard to give you a solid answer as I don't just hold the trigger down for one continuous run. My 3ah battery I'll use throughout a cleaning (clean the paddle boards for example) and I'll only use up 1 bar of power from the battery. Also another thing I didn't mention in the video that I didn't notice til after the fact. The cleaner has 3 power settings on the back of the unit, so it will also depends on which mode you run it on.
I can't believe ryobi won't listen to make a wand we're we can put a quick disconnect. But yet they make a third model that only changes the battery pack and the stainless steel quick disconnect for the hose. What a bummer 👎
@@truejey7475 technically it is a quick connect. They're just choosing to run a proprietary quick connect so you have to buy the ryobi accessories 🤷🏻♂️
There is an adapter coming that will allow you to connect standard quick-connect fittings. However, this has been announced over a year ago I believe and has still not seen the light of day at retailers. Same is true for a lot of Ryobi stuff announced in the last year or so. If you want to keep an eye out for it for when it finally is available, the part# is RY3112PC01.
Out of all the water tools I've tried out. This one actually has its purpose and has come in quite handy. But it won't replace a full powered pressure washer. Just have to know it's place.

Thanks for stopping by and watching the video :)
Great review. Thank you for your in-depth review of this product. I am looking forward to purchasing one soon.
Thanks for watching!

That's why I love mine. Quiet and not having to deal with the process of starting it up for smaller jobs
Thank you! This looks like a fantastic product! Excellent presentation.
Thank you for watching!
I just bought this Ryobi 40v pressure washer. I like it. I do notice the power difference compared to my older 20 volt Worx Hydroshot 320 psi.
My favorite setting is the Turbo setting.
Same. I use turbo to get all the lake gunk off the paddle board then finish it off with the rinse
Adults be like forget the super soaker, I want the Ryobi soaker to their kids!
This might do some damage though 😅
Can you hook it up directly to a water connection? Two liter bottle can be soap or just water?
It comes with a hose connection for direct attachment.
Great review! FYI - A pressure washer will strip clear coat off auto paint. Just a heads up.
Good to know. But this 600 PSI won't do it as bad as the gas powered 3.2k ones
Baloney.
Do you think this would be strong enough to wash mold / mildew off a shed so that I can paint it? Or to wash mildew off siding? Thank you!
Yes it would work, but would take a little bit longer as the spray pattern isn't that large
own the 18v. love it

You're very welcome!
I wonder if this is ever coming to Europe? We have the 18v but I already have the 40v battery and it seems like 40v might be a better deal than 18v
Good question. When I try to import things from Europe I usually rely on Ebay
What is the difference between 18 or 40? Battery life? Power? Thanks
@@HarryBallsss yeah, more power and runtime but heavier
@@VinaX2R great! Thanks so much.
The 18v hp and the 40v hp is the same psi. I don't understand what the difference is between them besides the battery.
It's essentially the same. You might get a little more run time out of the 40v. But go with the one you have the most batteries of. I have more 40vs then 18v.
I have the same amount of 18v 4ah and 40v6ah
@@chrisferron8622 go with the 40v then.
Can you use this to clean the tiles on patios?
Yes. Might have to get close to the tiles as 600 PSI is a little low. But should work.
First review of the 40v one!
Sweet!
@@thehousemann 40v vs 18v???

If neither of those work, it might be a defective unit.
What’s the difference between this and the 18v???? They both say 600psi
Haven't been able to compare it directly. But you should see a longer run time on the 40v
Thank you for the video, you sound like Hank Green lol
I had to look him up. My wife agress 😂
Can I spray wash and wax through this 600 PSI power washer?
Yes if you get the foam cannon attachment. But not through the main intake
miata gang!
😁
Does the 600 psi work if cleaning the driveway? Is it too weak for the driveway?
Waaaayyy too weak and small of a stream. I wouldn't recommend it.
Used it over 6 months and it stopped working- makes a wheezing sound and died - had the 18v 600psi - it also has some thick brown liquid leaking out when you use it and permanently stained my clothes. Just wanted to share my experience on this unit
Thanks for sharing. Should still be under warranty for you.
How long does the battery last per job?
Depends on the health of your battery but I'm getting 45min+
have you compared with the new 18V?
Not yet. I only own the 40v for the time being
Do you know what the difference is?
Very nice 👍🙏❤

For salt, id run it with a diluted degreaser solution.
