i purchased a delta version from samsclub over 10yrs ago...likes very similar to that royobe...still works like a champ, as long as you maintain it properly...
This unit comes with a one time use funnel. This funnel is in the same bag as the pressure washer heads (4 heads, one strange piece of paper). If you grab the paper and squeeze it on its edge, you'll see it becomes a funnel. If you are really cheap you could put it aside after its single use and get two or three more uses. Best place to buy a funnel, the dollar store.
You only need to use fuel stabilizer when storing for long periods . I always use non ethanol fuel in small engines. Ethanol fuel will clog the carburater if store for a few months
Whether you go gas or electric depends on what you plan to use the thing for. If you only want to clean cement every once in a while, and give you car a good wash, you don't need to spend $400 for a gas motor that you have to fuss with. If you've got larger jobs and use it more often, then the fussing is worth it.
I am trashing my second one of these today. The first one had the motor seize after about 18 months, I bought a second one because it was on a deep discount at Home Depot. That was 18 months ago and, again, the motor stopped in the middle of a job yesterday. I’ll be buying my next one at Costco, and definitely not a Ryobi or a Honda motor.
I have to amend this post. I found another video on UA-cam that showed how to service the carburetor. I did this today and the unit performs properly again. I’m not a motor guy and I do not take $300 items in for repair. I’m glad UA-cam exists to learn simple repairs.
I also just picked one up on deep discount from the Depot. You got a link to that vid or any advice? I'm not expecting much so I think I'll be needing it.
UPDATE:1 year and still cranks within the first 2-3 pulls. Probably will buy another when this one finally does bite the dust ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX . No issues at all. Very happy with it.UPDATE: After 6 months of use and over 70 uses I would still highly recommend this pressure washer. It does vibrate a decent amount but never had it “walk” like others have mentioned. No oil leaks, still seems to run like the day I bought it. Still cranks within 2-3 pulls every time. Very happy with my purchase!Have used it about a dozen times now. Plenty of power, cranks up on 1-2 pulls every time. My only complaint would be I wish it was a little taller to make it easier to walk with it (hits my ankles a lot) and that the two hose connections were a little further apart but it hasn’t caused me any issues. Seems to run a good 1-1/2-2 hrs on a full tank, overall a well built machine and definitely worth the money in my opinion.
awesome video. I just purchased a troy bilt 2800 psi pressure washer . it's got lots of negative reviews about it. we see how it goes. Good luck with yours man.
Just bought that same machine from my neighbor, the guy used it two times. Checked everything out, oil and what have you, it looked great, practically new. First time i used it to wash my lawn chairs, the engine seized. Piece of crap.
Excellent video. I had a Craftsman Pressure Washer that recently broke the Pressure Pump and the Carburador. This is the next one I'm considering. Thank you for the video since I now know that is a pretty good Pressure Washer.
Good luck with that Pressure Washer. I bought that same Ryobi 7 weeks ago and it died and wouldn't start after using it less than 2 hrs. Brought it back to Home Depot and was told it could take 4 to 5 weeks to fix. I'm making payments now on a Pressure Washer that I don't even have...
YOu can get a fitting to screw into where the hose goes so you can blow out the whole system out with an air compressor and it'll just take a dab of pump saver. Got mine off of Ebay. Good job!~
Just grabbed one a neighbor drug to the street. Im watching and reading first before ever trying to start it. Maybe its toast, maybe it was the operator. Either I get it operational or maybe the carb may work on a motorized bike build.
The only reason I bought this pressure washer was because of its Honda engine. I normally dont buy ryobi products. However, a gripe I have is the hose. It is super stiff and hard to work with, I had to buy an aftermarket polyurethane hose to replace it.
You probably did slight damage to your engine starting it like that on the second pull, you should pull 10 to 12 time to get the oil up into all parts before starting fully.
@@jettlash1000 No you didn't damage it, I got cheap and expensive gas power tools I done had for over 5 years and never had a problem with my engines and I start the same way you do.
I bought one of these units about a year ago and it works great except when I started it recently the engine seems to work fine but when I attach the spray hose and pull the trigger, the engine chokes down. Does this sound like a frozen pump?
First, por clorox for sidewalks to kill fungi, wait at least 45 minutes, then clean it with the pressure washer. You will have a cleaner concrete faster and completely clean.
I can't get the nozzles attached to the gun. Is there supposed to some sort of coupler for that or am I just not strong enough to get it in there? SO frustrated!
An electric pressure washer with a turbo novel would crush this... and if you use it 15 times it pays for itself due to the non usage of expensive gas. 1.58 a litre or $1.90 for premium. This will cost you $20-30 bucks every time you use it, these things drink gasoline like no other.
I have used three different electric washers and they were all underpowered trash. Electric pressure washers do not compete with gas pressure washers, regardless of some ridiculously named nozzle.
I had this 2300 PSI Ryobi pressure washer. It's not even close to a gas pressure washer for the same price. Saying "it's just about as powerful as the gas one" is just a lie.
Red Flags were flying left and right. 1.) Honda is what you want to see. 2) Trying not to use a funnel for the oil. (I knew before you used the funnel you'd go grab one. 3) When checking the dipstick you failed to wipe it off and reinsert and check again. (That's what the napkin/towel was for) 4) when you began pressure washing and then moved to the sidewalk, you kept the nozzle end a good foot and a half from the pavement (rookie move) and had to go over many spots several times. Not to mention, not applying the nozzle as close to the pavement is a half ass job whether you've realized this yet or not. That pavement could be a lot cleaner. Not even kidding. I quit watching at the 8:52 mark. Too many red flags with this guy. *Update* I went back to the 8 minute mark to watch the critters run in your open door as you turned your back. I noticed small debris (leaf, loose grass blades) in the bottom left corner also which tells me you failed to give it a distance spray to properly clean the area before actually pressure washing. Another tip : set camera on opposite side so insects aren't making themselves at home and water isn't spraying all inside. With the camera positioned on the opposite side you could've displayed it's ability to do the walls and door also but we, your audience, weren't alotted that. I gave this video a thumbs down as did 51 other people who know what they're doing in the world of pressure washing.
i don't know what your talking about ? i'm american and use gas cans that predate these stupid safety cans that you have to pull back something to fill a tank .. you just take a cap off and your ready to fill a tank the kind of gas cans i grew up with

What general maintenance do you recommend?

U can get a set of 4 funnels for 79 cents from harbor freight

All the electric ones feel cheap to me. Even the higher end ones..
At 8:15 a spider walked into your house lower right corner
Now we have to sell the house... :)
Ricardo Rodriguez how do you even notice that
What about the caterpillar on the lower left just before the spider shows up?
Makes you want to clean all the things now xD
I love passing the power-washer (I'm a professional painter), I find it so relaxing and also pretty fun.

I’m betting you use yours more than I do. Mine has been working well, but with limited use.

Once you've cleaned the concert and its dry apply some concrete sealer to prevent mold and discoloration . Same method for tile grout joints.
Thanks for the tip!

They say no oil changes required, just check oil level add if needed n go! Lol

8:13 spider moves in.... time to move out
Nephtali Gray 7:01
thanks I'm gonna pick one up !
He just cursed when he found out he couldn't just lift it up right out the box...lol
Very cool video. I have order a Nilfisk 145 pressurewasher! I like this Ryobi With Honda motor.
Thank you!

Great tip!
My Dream Pressure Washer 💯
Just grabbed one a neighbor drug to the street. Im watching and reading first before ever trying to start it. Maybe its toast, maybe it was the operator. Either I get it operational or maybe the carb may work on a motorized bike build.
After checking a few things, it started right up. Now I have to get a hose for it. odd neighbor ditch it. maybe the pump is bad.
The only reason I bought this pressure washer was because of its Honda engine. I normally dont buy ryobi products. However, a gripe I have is the hose. It is super stiff and hard to work with, I had to buy an aftermarket polyurethane hose to replace it.
I agree 100%, the Honda badge sold me.
Get a turbo sprayer and you will not believe how much more powerful that spray will be.
Big spider at 8:10. He got in.
6:58 spider goes in the house
How is it running now? I am considering a purchase. Would LOVE to see a follow up vid!
I will consider the suggestion, it is still running well. I haven't used it in over six months (harsh winter).
jettlash1000 I went ahead and got the electric version 2000 psi. Thanks for the reply!
Where did you buy it from?
how is this running today? i was thinking of getting one of these, the new one that they sell has that weird 5 in 1 tip
Buy Ryobi broom attachment
U need to get closer with the nozzel and it will get all the crap off.
You probably did slight damage to your engine starting it like that on the second pull, you should pull 10 to 12 time to get the oil up into all parts before starting fully.
I’ve never done that with any of my gas engines.
@@jettlash1000 No you didn't damage it, I got cheap and expensive gas power tools I done had for over 5 years and never had a problem with my engines and I start the same way you do.
I bought one of these units about a year ago and it works great except when I started it recently the engine seems to work fine but when I attach the spray hose and pull the trigger, the engine chokes down. Does this sound like a frozen pump?
It might be. I put a pump lubricant through after every use.
@@jettlash1000 thanks.
Is she still running good?
Nice bro
I have an equal but mine is 3100 psi that gas I can put normal or mixed
First, por clorox for sidewalks to kill fungi, wait at least 45 minutes, then clean it with the pressure washer. You will have a cleaner concrete faster and completely clean.
Get it wet, let it sit for 20 min. the job will be much easier.
Yeah, thats what she said
You must be from Michigan, no?
WI.
I can't get the nozzles attached to the gun. Is there supposed to some sort of coupler for that or am I just not strong enough to get it in there? SO frustrated!
Do you use just plain unleaded gas?
Great video dude what hp is this washer
Thanks! Not sure on the HP, they rate them all in PSI.
GREAT,ya made everything Wet!! now what???
Ethanol gas ruins these units, make sure to put a cap full of Seafoam in to store over the winter. My carb was gummed up with corn after one season...
I swear by seafoam.
Can I use it without soap?
Yes.
Wow is that gas powered washer noisy!
Yes.
How to unlock pressure washer wheel to make it move???
What is the pump protector for?
ignacio Cabalo prolong the life of the pump.
Dude at 8:15 a spider crawled youdoor

True, maybe electric is the way to go.

thx for the laugh, keep using your eco joke equipment & take 20 years to clean something
What PSI do you suggest on an electric pressure washer with turbo nozzle? Thanks.
Red Flags were flying left and right.
1.) Honda is what you want to see.
2) Trying not to use a funnel for the oil. (I knew before you used the funnel you'd go grab one.

No fucking way people like you exist lol!
Nice dog
👍👍👏
You are pouring oil wrong. The slanted portion of the bottle should be closest to the engine.
I can’t get the nozzle tips on. How do you fix that?
Just buy the 5in 1 nozzle and u good to go
how much this machine cost
$300
What kinda gas do I use?
Diesel
I want to ask that machine have absorbent with water?
Not that I'm aware of.
jettlash1000 would suggest this to wash a car or does it pack to much power?
just stand a bit farther back, after all it is 2800 psi. I use my 3100 to wash my trucks and they do a great job.
You need a surface cleaner, then you don't need soap.
Thanks for the tip!
I need more power.
Necesito l tiempo de una ríobi 2800 CD grssiss
120bar
Why are American petrol cans so crap? In the uk all you do is unscrew the cap and put on the nozzle then boom that’s it
i don't know what your talking about ? i'm american and use gas cans that predate these stupid safety cans that you have to pull back something to fill a tank .. you just take a cap off and your ready to fill a tank the kind of gas cans i grew up with
Sar please i want
Looks weak when you're doing the sidewalk/cement area.
I always tend to lean towards the least aggressive tips to avoid wrecking what I'm spraying. That could be part of it.
You look weak
Have you ever used a pressure washer in your life?
I forgot to put in the fuel stabilizer what should I do
You can still put it in, it's never too late. I think seafoam does a good job as well.
The first guy demonstrating??
Where do you get these guys??
Clueless!!!
dont buy absalute garbage. read the reviews on the 160 honda.. junk
HAHA what? Honda GCV160 engines are some of the best small engines on the market.
I guess I read the wrong reviews, cause mine with the Honda engine didn't last 2 hrs...
Solid power washer.
Dan Lacey Your input is meaningless
*absolute. Don’t want you to fail your spelling test
