This guy is amazing. Totally worth listenint to the entire video. I see so many bad instructional videos and this person is by far my favorite so far. Thank you for your videos.
Great channel, thanks for reviews. Ex equipment rep here, that ramp up you mention most likely serves to keep the start up amp draw low. We used to lift up the 2HP electric motors on belt driven paint sprayers to create some slip and keep them from tripping 15A breakers during initial pressurization. Once the line(s) are at pressure, the pump doesn't have to work as hard so tripping the breaker not as big a concern.
Hey Josh, I’ve recently been binge watching your videos since I’m looking for a pressure washer for car washing and occasional light use around the house. I’m going with the Ryobi 1800 psi unit (RY141802), mainly based on your videos. Your “Cheaper foam cannon” Amazon link in the description doesn’t work. Which foam cannon is that? Thanks!
Wow, Josh, you sure put a lot of effort in removing the hose from its location when you could've just simply pop out the locking pin and swing open the arm that held the hose in place, but hey, you got it out 👍
Hey Josh or anyone else. I need help with a decision. between three pressure washers. Greenworks, Dewalt or Ryobi (3000psi). which one could be the best decision? I need to make that investment in my new house.
Thanks for the test josh on another topic giraffe tools has a 3200 psi with a 65 foot hose 1/4 hose reel on Amazon 180 Cdn might be have decent if the hose is crappy I would certainly switch to the Uber flex
I am about to go buy an electric power washer ASAP. What is your top recommendation for an electric power washer for home use. Cleaning fences, concrete, decking, washing cars and power washing siding on a two story house?
Wow the foam issue it is very weird! I recently bought the Ryobi 3000 1.1gpm that you reviewed and also bought an Amazon “Realyou” foam cannon and comes with the 1.1 screw-on orifice and that thing makes real thick foam out of everything you feed to it! I even makes foam out of the red engine degreaser (I don’t use it for car washing, don’t freak out 😂) and degreasers are not really that frothy when you agitate.
Thanks for your video Josh. What would you recommend for cleaning my concrete patio and patio furniture. I wouldn't need to wash my car or anything. Just the patio. But I really need electric. I don't want to mess with gas and oil. TIA if you can help me!
Great review! I have this exact unit with a Zwift (MJJC) foam cannon, and it makes thick foam. Go figure. I use a Ryobi hose instead of the stock Dewalt hose. Could be something there?
only 1.1 GPM??? So disappointing yet again especialy from a reputable brand. More and more today I see brands like this produce and market an item like this as professional. Yet tthey make one worh 3000psi and 1.1 GPM and a low quality hose to.boot. This is not a "professional unit" dont care if they asvertise it this way. Its a HUGH problem today and it PISSES ME OFF!!
HELP! I am retired and like detailing my car, you have given me so much helpful information...but I am really struggling with purchasing a pressure washer. I plan to create a nice detailing area with shelf, hose reel etc. I have probably watched too many of your pressure washer videos and have "Analysis paralysis". My question is it really worth paying $350 for an Active 2.0 to get that 2.0 gpm, when I can get a $100-$200 pressure washer and get the correct spray tip orfice to get me that 1.3-1.7 gpm?
I have a question, a can of spray paint released a fine but noticeable tan paint on my white door of my Highlander. What is your suggestion. Thanks for your reply.
Some waxes will remove paint from spray cans. I use to get a wax/polish from a independent maker that we used on everything from paint,rubber,glass does not leave white residue. It would remove spray paint. Still use it some.
Why not just take the nozzle out of the bucket and do the dB test? Id est, spray driveway while standing or aim it anywhere water jet isn't going to ricochet noise back into your mic.
425$ nooo thanks rather have a Ryobi 1800 or Karcher k1700 or greenworks for 100$ for 450. get the Active 2.0 and spend 100 on a uberflex 50 ft hose and stubby gun.
Funny how you did the same review 2 years ago when it had a terrible hose. Now it has the same terrible hose. I guess Dewalt doesn't watch UA-cam. So this unit is going to cost you another $50 to get a decent hose to replace Dewalt's Playschool stock hose. I'll pass.
@@seropserop But I already knew that without having to watch the rest of the video so why waste my time? My Active pressure washer already gives 2GPM without having to manipulate the orifice size.
QUESTION: Between the Dewalt 2100 and the Greenworks (electric), which has the best quality of the materials that the unit is made of? I can only buy one. Which one? Thanks ~ great reviews!
Very good review as always Josh. How do you think this would compare with the newer Greenworks "industrial' models with the triplex pumps? GPW 2500C, GPW 3100C
My friend purchased the same machine he took it back. I used it. We did not like it for that price. Did you have a better hose and better quality machine?
Hey can you renew the new DEWALT 60V MAX 1000 PSI Power Cleaner they have a new one and they have Dewalt DCPW1600Y2 2X20V MAX* 1600 MAX PSI** Pressure Washer Kit with FLEXVOLT
@IMJOSHV this thing had fantastic numbers! As did the 2100 in your review. 1. At the end of this video you suggest the 2100 but on the 2100 there is no foam test 2. It would seem with such great numbers this machine would deserve maybe an investigation video to troubleshoot if these washer can get to the desired foam production?
The adapter to make it into a stubby is a metric M14 Female to1/4 male NPT it’s on Amazon. Not cheap $15.98 + 10.98 shipping. I Only seen 1 seller But it works great. Been using it about a year

@@TheMemeXp1 vinyl siding on my house I have on the first floor. Chemical is the most important part. Second floor from the ground, produced less than desirable results.
@@TheMemeXp1 yeah the days of a ladder are long gone for me. I am just too lazy lol lol. But yeah on a ladder, work small areas, would be good. It is actually an impressive power washer for the psi and it being electric.
Josh, what if the soap was diluted big time when using it with the stock foam cannon due to all the water that was injected in to it. Maybe do a retake with fresh dilution see if it works.
As a plumber Teflon tape is not “always” recommended and shouldn’t always be used. Teflon tape or other thread sealant should only be uses an thread sealing connections; any connection made with o-rings, a sealing washer, a flare connection, or crush washer should NEVER have a thread sealant used, including Teflon tape as they can actually interfere with the seal or eat through the sealing device.
I ordered one last week and it died after only 1 hour of use, it was returned to Home Depot the same day. I wound up using a 2 year old compact 2000 psi Ryobi for 3 hours straight to finish the job.

I bought the hose you mentioned at Walmart. It's 30 feet and was branded Hypertough. Very nice hose.
I wonder if they use different brand names between stores.
@@imjoshv I have no idea. Maybe the brand was changed recently.
Would have been nice to see it next to the 2100 just to see size differences, along with a VS. segment:)
The adapter I got and works perfectly is this. Metric M141.5 Female x 1/4" NPT Male. Hope it helps someone, took me a while to find.
M14x1.5 is the thread out of the gun?
Super useful and detailed video. Great work
I’m from Canada I watch all the reviews you do on different products. Can you do a review on the giraffe retractable vacuum?
In comparison to the 2100 PSI which would you pick over that or the Ryobi 2000 psi?
the new DCPW1000 might be worth reviewing, in case that one's not on your radar yet
It wasn’t… thank so much!
that foam cannon is the same foam cannon that came with my mastercraft that's like $120

Also inclosed battery overheats after 5 minutes . So even you have battery capasity for one hour . In reality you can work only 5 minutes .
What do you pick ryobi 1900 1.2 or that Dewalt 3000 for car detailing?

Yep, it’s easier to adjust the the orifice to get the pressure up that it is to build a quality motor capable of actually pumping the water
3000psi at 1.1 gpm is the highest it can go for a normal 15amp outlet so ur not blowing ur breakers
@@rickysweet1036 not so sure about that, I have the new Westinghouse 3000 psi that advertises 1.76 GPM. I find the GPM varies between 1.7-1.85.

it's not so much the 3000psi it
the 1.1 GPM. They could have also provided a better hose.

You still would not want to run this on a 15amp circuit. You would really need a 20amp.

Also it’s a 15a machine which means you can get much higher GPM using a bigger orifice, you’d know that if you didn’t stop the video after 5 seconds
