I have the 2000 psi model, sometimes it'll suddenly lose power then gain it after a short time. Is that normal?
Can you help me understand something with your cleaning units? With the lower powered ryobi's you used a 3.0 nozzle, but starting with the 2000 psi you went with 2.5 (at 1100psi). Why didn't you drop to 3.0 and see what you could get with those? Is it because you would increase the flow and decrease the pressure by similar amounts and therefore not change the cleaning units materially?, so it just wasn't worth it? Just seems like they weren't placed on a level field, but then again i don't have a great grasp on this sort of thing.
sorry to be off topic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
@Jace Isaac instablaster =)
@Jagger August thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
That's going to be the cleanest wheel and front fender in the parking lot!
Looking forward to this all day!
Making the world a better place with each video released 👏
Sincere appreciation for your efforts. I have the 1600/1.2 gpm and will be upgrading the hose along with the quick connect fittings through you to make the Ryobi a go!
@obsessed garage what size nozzle do you recommend for the 1600 with the kobra jet and the upgraded gun?
Great video series, Matt! Anyone who is obsessed enough with perfection to follow you would prefer a Kranzle, but that just isn't in everyone's budget. This information puts decent performance in people's hands at a reasonable cost (until we can buy that Kranzle!!). Keep up the great work!
Agreed
Finally!!! I've been waiting for this. Matt...your F'N Awesome!! See ya on the next one.
Thank you Matt. I just bought the 2300 model and I appreciate your review. Now I know that I’ll need to modify it. Thanks again.
Hello I was wondering how do you like your 2300? thanks!
Thanks for doing this Matt! Much appreciated!
Thank you doing the reviews, testing and spreadsheet.
Cool series here. I have used that second ryobi with your mtm wand and pf22 foam cannon for over 2 years. I wash two cars almost every weekend and its worked like a champ ever since. I got it on home depot sale for $75
I'll be ordering a kobrajet from you next as I'm still using the generic hose.
Great review of all these machines, can't wait for other brands.
The madness continues!
Thanks for this video Matt! I went with the 2000psi Ryobi with the hose reel. I got it deeply discounted from a tool liquidator. My guess is that people go to home depot, buy a pressure washer, clean their driveway/deck/ whatever needs cleaning, then take it back to the store for a refund. The warehouse I bought mine from was FULL of slightly used electric pressure washers.
Its amazing how much money you can save just by watching your video. You're showing how you do not need to spend $500.00+ on a pressure washer to wash your car. I only use it to foam the vehicle and a regular garden hose the rest of the way for me. Great Series...thanx for your time
I still choose a quality pressure washer over these cheap ones just like I choose a Porsche when a Honda will get the job done or Nike when Payless works.
@@ObsessedGarage not everyone can afford to spend $500.00+ for an electric pressure washer. My next door neighbor has a home depot special and he washes his 3 vehicles every weekend..15yrs and counting, cost him $120.00 for it..lol I recently bought a gas operated unit from Bj's for $342.00 and popped a 5.5GPM nozzle on it to wash my vehicles at 1100psi, and 4GPM nozzle at 2700psi at 3.2gpm..I do own a Kranzle k1122(Pressure washing Rooftop HVAC Units), I contacted you about the 35' hose a while back, till today i can't find it. My point is that you're doing a great job showing that anyone can save money and not buy a $1000.00 pressure washer and then realize that "hey i only use it for about 10min" most of the work is done by hand anyway. Happy Holidays to you and your family Matt
@@ObsessedGarage do you also pay $50 for a couple of pieces of sushi too? Do you pay upfront cost to book an appointment for a sushi restaurant?
Do you pay $5000-$10000 USD first class on flights. You should pay your friends a premium for being excellent, high quality friends. I should also pay you for watching your videos also cause of the quality, thoughtful and effortless for your work. I liked your video by the way lol
@@calvinwong365 his videos answer your question to everything that you asked
@@claude3990 he chooses quality,thats why he chooses a Porsche that would get outlived and so on by a Honda 😂😂like 🤔
Keep up the great work! I plan on utilizing this data and purchasing upgrades to my ryobi 1700
I have that portable 1600 PSI unit and it did fine and still worked on my cheap foam cannon. Impressive unit for the price and that current draw is a bit high. That was the reason it was a return I guess at HD, but at $75 was a steal. By the way the Ryobi has a surface washer that really works well for the driveways, takes patience but it works great at $30.
Great content! Keep it coming
I'm really enjoying this series!
WOW - all these things to consider, buy, pair up, + + + + Now I'm REALLY glad I only use a Garden Hose! :)
Yeah it adds up. Most don't notice how much it adds up to if you do it a little at a time. What I will end up doing is saving people a bunch of money on all the screwed up orders you'd likely make to get this right.
My AR390SS just crapped out on me so I’m going to enjoy watching these in search of a replacement.
oh i see now sweet i cant wait for more content this is gonna be the ultimate guide i tell ya.. this is gonna be the bench mark for detailer got o. good job and ty
Lol, the hose reel was the biggest pita problem I had with this, I thought I was losing my mind. Eventually just took it off and loop it when done.
So cool that you’re doing this. Tons of info! Looking forward to your findings and opinion on the SunJoe SPX9004 Pro Series. Cant wait for the rest of the videos!
I can tell you right now that pump is not good. The Comet or AR Professional is going to be much better.
Obsessed Garage my SPX9004 Pro showed up today (I ordered before you started these videos) and the thermal relief valve is completely missing. What a freaking joke!
Waiting for the Karcher vid. I like mine since its a decently quiet motor but i dont have experience with many other machines so itll be nice to see your thoughts since youre testing through the whole econoline of pressure washers lol
Anxiously awaiting the Sun Joe review.
If we have a gas unit and send the specs would you be able to recommend the nozzle and such?
Perfect just the vid I needed
Thank you for putting in all this effort! Very helpful. Have you posted your spreadsheet/buying guide?
Not yet. I need to copyright it and finish a few more pressure washers.
The 1600 looks like a good candidate for a budget wall mount setup.
Appreciate all the effort put into these detailed reviews - Thanks! The Ryobi 2300 Model# RY142300 was updated. It has auto shutoff now. It was a top pick on Consumer Reports and Wirecutter. Looks like the older version recommendation was for 2.5 orifice - thinking of going w that or maybe 3.0 orifice? Its been good to do the concrete, brick and deck cleaning I needed, pressure + low GPM may not be optimal for regular car washes though. 50' hose and gun upgrades are nice.
Great stuff!
Since the $99 Ryobi surprised you on its performance, can you test the $79 Harbor Freight.
Thanks.
literally been looking for my first pressure washer and this shows up! liked and subscribed
When will the quick disconnect fittings, hose kits be available?
Which one should i buy for cleaning and old wood swingset with mold and a composite deck ? Thanks
what size pit do you recommend to buy the rest of nozzel
Thanks
Waiting for that green works 1700 psi pressure washer test results!👍 Mat
Thank you, Sir!
Hey I have the Ryobi 2000 psi and I have been looking for a new gun what gun is that? also what is that connection called that you would send with the 2300 psi and the 2000 PSI? Love your videos!!
@MATT what happened to the krezel machine you not messing with anymore...
Awesome video. I have one of those Ryobis (the one with the useless hose reel). I totally agree that the hose is terrible. I have been meaning to order the OG hose/gun/wand/foam canon package for this. However, I got caught off guard by the early winter in New England and the ryobi machine failing to start (possibly related?).
Highly probable. Pressure washers worst enemy is cold weather. I always store my pressure washer indoors during the winter.
Matt! I got the 1,600 1.2gal, you recommend the 3.0 40degree nozzle for wash cars?
Out of the 1600 and 1700 ryobi which produce better, thicker foam?
So I assume your next video series will be to detail Ted's Focus to remove all of the water spots!! ;)
Thanks for the video
Can these cart ones like the RY14122 be mounted sideways on on the wall if i fabricate something? not sure if pressure washers have like to be sideways or not.
Can you also test GPM after changing the tip on the pressure washers. Since changing the tips lowers the psi wonder if that increases the GPM?
Thanks
It does…. Watch ‘imjosh’
looking forward to greenworks!
The Greenworks appear to be identical to the Ryobi.
When Home Depot gets returns, they quickly scan the products (sometimes) for damage and then loads them into a shopping cart and tells the associates to put up the returns and sell them as new.
Where can I buy the hose gun and quick disconnect fittings??
That corner of his car will certainly be clean 😂😂
My simoniz 2000 platinum is amazing
So foam cannon fits on the Ryobi 2000 PSI but not the others ?
28:56 In laws during holidays
Don't mess with the Instagram gods lol
This is awesome info man. I purchased the ryobi 2000 PSI, while given the fact I would love a kranz it’s just not ideal for washing 2 personal vehicles. This is a huge contribution totally watched this video and other comparisons on mtm gun vs yours. Decided to purchase your gun with mtm cannon to upgrade. Currently using griots boss with foam (very runny foam) with wand, I need to check foam without wand straight to ryobi gun. Do you have 2.5 orifice nozzles for sale by themselves on website?
www.obsessedgarage.com/collections/ryobi-accessories/products/mtm-1-4-stainless-nozzle-4-pack
So I want to get the upgraded hose for my Subaru gas powered pressure washer & quick disconnects but which quick disconnects do I buy on your website ?
Yes, I think that one uses standard fitting. Just choose the hose w/ QDs.
Just finding this video. Great comparison. Q-for a weekend detailer using it 1 to 3 times a week max for only 3 seasons, would the 1700 be sufficient?
I would rather do the Karcher K1700 until you can justify doing something more stout like Kranzle or Comet. www.obsessedgarage.com/collections/karcher-accessories
What is the foamer he was using? I think I need that
Sun Joe next please. I promise I'll keep watching the series after the Sun Joe episodes. If you can come up with a hose option for SPX3001 you will be a hero. I will ditch the cheesy hose reel.
Greenworks is next.
Obsessed Garage will it by any chance include the Greenworks GDC40?
Jeff Small, www.amazon.com/Sun-Joe-SPX-25HD-Universal-Heavy-Duty/dp/B01MRRZJBZ. +. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WUXVPAO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. And your Sunjoe is killer!
@@ObsessedGarage Hoping to see that Greenworks "foam cannon" review
Do you sell the Ryobi 1700 , hose, fittings and foam cannon?
I dont see the Ryobi and foam cannon.
I’m hoping there will be nilfisk😔 But I know it wasn’t gonna happen. And guessing it’s the “garbagest” for matty! Hahahaha! But it works for me😅 great series matt👍🏻👊🏻
Wish I could find the buying guide mentioned (if it's been completed? I can imagine this is a ton of work) Thinking I'll just buy the Sun Joe 3000, $139 on amazon right now new.
I haven't finished it yet. I would choose an AR or SunJoe last.
Does this mean you are going to stop selling the Kranzle setups for cheaper units?
great videos... is it okay to put a 3/8 hose on my 1700 Ryobi with the new gun and wand?
Yep, works well.
Not sure how the dB scale works, I just know it isn't linear. Apparently ~70dB is close to a vacuum or hairdryer
Very 10+ decibel is 10 times louder , 30 db is 10 times louder than 20.
I don’t think you should blame the manufacturer for receiving a used product, it was probably a demo at the retailer and they packed it and shipped it to you. P.s love the detail you put into your videos!
I'm just telling you what I got.
I’m gonna get the 1600psi model.
that un-reel was un-real i almost died laughing
Hi, thank you for the review. I was hoping if you could tell me if 1800 psi ryobi model is good for removing deck stains and cleaning pavement.
Thanks
None of these electric pressures are great for that kind of stuff. You'd be much better off with a gas pressure washer.
The 2300 does a pretty good job cleaning my driveway and sidewalk. It's basically the bare minimum PSI needed for that, but it does do the job. Should do a deck with no problem.
Edit: agreed though, a gas powered will do it better.
What is more important GPM or PSI
what should i buy then
Nicely done. Maybe have “kits” for those of us that already have the washer.
That's the point of this whole project.
Yeah the ryobi 2300 is the same thang as the sun Joe SPX9004-PRO
I'm not seeing these RYOBI washer packages on your website.
www.obsessedgarage.com/collections/ryobi-accessories
Wouldn't finding the highest flow machine be best as you'll be dialing down the pressure anyways?
I'd think so too. I think as you follow this series you will find out which will measure at the highest actualized gpms.
That would be a large contributing factor.
This is Awesome test! and You Offereing kit solutions!! 5*****
Do you sell the 1600 PSI full kit?
I’ll probably be buying one of these, need to replace my gas powered pressure washer my dad gave me that sounds like a Lawn mower.
None of those Ryobi's are even available in Australia lol. US/AU/EU must all get different models
Yeah great aint it? The aussie models you need to get the 2000psi model (1600) or higher, watch aussie models they boast peak psi not normal which is 1600-1700psi on the 2000psi model
Thanks again Matt. Maybe I missed it, but are you considering selling a kit that has all the upgrades except the power washer? So if someone has one of these they could just buy the quick disconnects, hose, gun, wand, foam cannon and whatever else I might have forgotten.
Personally I think this would be a great idea.
i believe he said in the first video that the plan was to have multiple kits for each washer he tests.
Yes, I never wanted to have anything to do with these pressure washers because they are all really cheap and built like junk. The reason I'm doing it, is there is clearly a need. My belief is there is a large percentage that if willing to up upgrade their entry level pressure washer will be the kind of person I will want to have a relationship with in the future. The only risk for me here is that a decent amount of those people will a large sense of entitlement. They often return stuff, make ridiculous warranty claims, and demand more than they deserve. The interesting dynamic is the overwhelming majority of people that will spend $2,000 on a pressure washer are courteous, don't have time to return stuff, and largely don't complain. The thing I will have to do is make warranty disclaimers very clear and be vocal about them. I will need to set expectations on what hoses, guns, and quick disconnects are and how they function. For instance, there is no warranty on an $8 coupler. They are wear and tear items. Some last years, some last weeks. It part of the deal. To answer you question, I will have a configurator for each brand of pressure washer that will allow you to easily build a package of the right equipment to improve it.
Thanks Matt, I understand completely about having to deal with someone that complains about a quick connect that the O ring wore out or something just as silly. I think you just have to stipulate exactly what is warrantied and what isn't. No matter what someone is always going to be dissatisfied because of some bs reason.
I am looking forward to seeing the next installment. Keep up the good work
Just as an FYI, I had no problem fitting my 1/4” foam cannon or 1/4” nozzles from my gas pressure washer to this Ryobi wand. Did lose some pressure using the nozzles from my gas washer, because as you stated the orifice is smaller on the Ryobi nozzles. No, I didn’t have to “force” my 1/4” cannon or nozzles on. Just give them a little twist as you put them on. Mine is a newly purchased base model Ryobi 1600psi 1.2gpm pressure washer.
So you have the small 1500 and the foam cannon worked?
Jay Cee what foam cannon are you using? Thank You!
akaredcrossbow It’s the cheapest base model Ryobi 1600psi from Home Depot, not a 1500. My foam cannon is an old made in Italy foam cannon (brass fitting) I got from one of the major online auto detailing stores years ago, and it’s time for a new one.
I’m not sure why Matt couldn’t get the fittings to work on his. I give mine a little twist as I push them on and they fit perfectly. No leaks anywhere.
My point was, the wand that came with with my cheap Ryobi accepted my foam cannon, my son’s cheap $17 Dusichin foam cannon (it looks just like mine except has stainless steel fitting) which by the way, works better than my original expensive one. As I mentioned, the wand also accepts the stainless steel nozzles from my gas Craftsman pressure washer (I don’t use those because the orifices are too big for this little pressure washer) Yep, it’s cheap, but it works just fine for my purposes.
MATT I bought the k1700 and got a ryobi 1700 off cl for $40 .checking both wands out I found that the wands are interchangeable. makes you think who makes both.
The wands are sourced from the same place, but the motors appear to be different.
ya i just thought it odd.thank you for the reply.did you put the stats up yet ,i did hear you gave your wife the k1700
@@ObsessedGarage
Why did the first one foam so much better than the rest even though the output was nearly the same?
They all foamed pretty much the same.
He shows 2 foam guns, one with 1.10mm orifice and one with 1.25mm orifice, 1.10mm is for lower psi electric pressure washers, 1.25 is more for high power gas pressure washers.
I really would love to see you reviewing karcher professional compact pressure wash I think you would really like
Submitted application for group but no luck getting approval. How long does it usually take?
Make sure you answer all the questions.
I can't find the spreadsheet on your website. Link?
I don't have it done yet. More testing to do.
What size quick connects go on the 1600 psi? M-22 14mm or 15mm?
14mm on all Ryobi pressure washers.
This looks just like a Baja 1800psi 1.2 gpm machine i got for $90, just different color
Sweet I'm a machinist so I want to go ahead and machine mine if I end up buying this package
You still ultimates want to get a new gun. This one is way too long and really not good.
@@ObsessedGarage That's true. I would hate having that gun. Idk what I was thinking bc I am going to get the new gun lol
Very interesting the 3/8" hose did not decrease pressure. On a side note, the AR630 TSS looks very legit.
Yeah, but it's $800. You can spend $150 more and get a Kranzle. If it were $450, it would make more sense.
@@ObsessedGarage it's $612. Kranzle, is top notch, of course.
It's $800 anywhere that would actually service or honor the warranty.
Your the man dude!! I could never find a video of a review on the ryobi line up, especially showing the actuall psi on the units and going into detail with spec's, i got the 1600psi ryobi one and let me tell you that little guy pack's a punch! i got it new(still in plastic lol) at home depot for 79$, after watching your video I'll definitely be upgrading to quick connect fittings and new spray with a quality hose, can't agree more with you on the goofy hose it comes with, the 1600 in my opinion is better then harbor freights 1750 80$ pressure washer, especially because it has the weird hose and wand set up, the ryobi has a lot more quality to it. Thanks man keep it up!
There's plenty of videos showing all that,with 2.0,2.5 and even using a 3.0.using the 1.2 or 1.1 on the cannon and so on
ETA on when you'll be restocked on the Ultimate Package for the Ryobi 1700?
Waiting on 3.0 Nozzles. MTM is going to have a hard time with supply for a while as we are creating sock waves to the supply of a bunch of these components.
Obsessed Garage thanks for the reply. I’ll keep stalking the store. I also noticed shipping to the lower 48 only. Am I SOL for shipping to Hawaii?
10db is twice as loud, 3db is twice the energy
Yep, was about to mention this too. 60 to 70 is quite loud, 70 to 80 is twice that.
10 dB is twice as loud, but 3 dB is twice the sound intensity/level (sound pressure squared), not energy.
You fell for their marketing trap because they used the word "brushless" for an AC induction motor powered pressure washer!! While AC induction motors are also brushless, they are less efficient because they don't use permanent magnet rotors like a brushless motor uses.They instead use a steel laminated core rotor with copper or aluminum bars embedded into the rotor that are then shorted with end cap rings. This is what makes them less efficient because the magnetic field from the stator has to induce a current into the rotor so the rotor can create a magnetic field that interacts with the stator's to create motion.
With brushless motors you already have a magnetized rotor since they are permanent magnets, but you need control electronics to make it work. I found the parts replacement website for this so called "brushless" model, and it clearly shows an AC induction motor and replacement starting capacitors, which single phase AC motors need for starting up. No control electronics board at all in the parts breakdown view. You would get more power if it was brushless instead of AC induction motor due to the high efficiency gains in the 90% or higher versus 60% to 75% for this tiny AC induction motor that will also have poor power factor. So they are peddling 1888 technology as new tech by using the word brushless to entice people to buy this product because people know how powerful brushless power tools are. This is a scam from Ryobi.
So does that mean all the induction motor plug in pressure washers are bad? I'm eyeing the greenworks 2700 model
My Ryobi brushless just went up for sale. I will be getting the kranzle package very soon.
If bought new and got a used unit, I hope you got some money back; cuz that's messed up & super not right. When you buy "new"; one EXPECTS a "NEW" unit, not used. Very bad business practices & still can't believe companies do this & try to get away with it. Similar thing happened to me when bought brand new Brad nailer & staple gun. Staple gun was used & looked like was dropped, & had accessories missing etc....really sucks
For the purpose of this test, I don't have the time or energy to box it up, take it back, or call some 800 number and sit on hold. I just used it for the test and will sell it at a discount to get rid of it. It will be a risk to anyone buying these. You could end up with the demo or returned unit since a lot of these are picked and shipped via automation.
Totally opposite for me. I bought a used (refurbished) 1700 psi model and as far as I can tell it’s brand new unused, complete with all parts boxed wrapped with manual. Lol lucky me.
When will you be doing the SunJoe line?
This week.
Matt on the gun, the brass fitting are just glued into the plastic threads and will fail.
Yeah, I figured. The gun will be something that most will upgrade.
