Got this unit a year and a half ago for $69 and never seen it lower since. For me it's been great cleaning a big circular drive and a pool deck multiple times. Also, here in Florida we have a bi-annual infestation of love bugs that can totally coat the front end of vehicles. This power washer has saved me more than its cost in car washes in those seasons.
I received my pressure washer ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP over the weekend and decided to wait for the sun to come out before firing it up. Was needed to clean the deck. Our last pressure washer broke a couple of seasons ago, and I just hadn't replaced it yet. This one had great comments, so here we are. It was easy to assemble, and the trigger wand is comfortable and easy to hold for long periods of time. The pressure washer worked great and made quick work of the "TN North side algae" that inevitably grows every year. I also washed all of the deck furniture while I was at it... it all looks great! So far I am happy with this purchase. I plan to climb the ladder to wash siding over the next couple of days, will update if I have anything else to add after that!
For more foam, measure your soap accurately per directions on bottle, add distilled water to that soap bottle to top it off, and heat the distilled water in the microwave before adding it and you'll have noticeably more foam from any foam gun.
I've had an electric pressure washer for years. I currently have the Ryobi 2000 psi washer now for about the last 4 years, bought it at Home Depot. It's plenty powerful enough for what I use it for around the house, cleaning the vinyl siding, sidewalks, cars, etc. My friend bought the HF Portland washer last year, for washing his car and cleaning the small deck he has on his town home, he likes it. It's nice that it comes with the foam cannon, I had to buy one separately from my Ryobi.
I bought mine 3 yrs ago and I have put it to work on my steps, my mother's porch and steps and side walk, and a 30 foot by 300 foot roof and it's still going strong. HF, Portland 1750 psi.
Hi Bear, the green nozzle on the soap attachment is variable. just twist it and it will adjust to your liking. I have the old blue one HFT used to sell before switching to portland and It's actually been great for light duty stuff.
I have the Portland unit and used it nonstop all day both days one weekend cleaning a deck and backside of our home and I expected it to overheat or just let go when it had enough..... Nope, it held in there and I use it still. It’s my go to for car washing (I hand wash the body and rinse with this) and use it for the engine and undercarriage. I’m very happy with the little $80 machine for what it is made for. Easy to grab and set up and does as it is expected to. I use the gas washer for my larger projects like drives and patios but I say go for it if something small and useful for the small jobs of everyday homeowners. 👍🏼👍🏼
I purchased a Ryobi 1800 PSI 1.2 GPM electric portable pressure washer I picked up on sale at HD for $79.00 last August. I was able to pressure wash my entire house in one full day using the built in non-foaming soap reservoir. It worked like a champ. I also purchased the foam cannon accessory kit for an additional $29.00 plus foaming soap for use on my vehicles. It worked for my light duty applications just fine. I will say that when using the built in soap reservoir, it blows through the soap very fast and I had to run down to the hardware store for another gallon. All in all it was a good purchase and hope to be using it again this Summer. Cheers Bear!
Excellent unit. Bought mine for 70 bucks a yr. Ago and I have beat the crap out if it and still running strong. This machine is amazing, specially for that price.
if your only washing cars the electric washer is probably preferred some of the gas pressure washers are too powerful for your car if used incorrectly.
Exactly! I think this lil guy is PERFECT for detailing . Aside from the ....lol "foam cannon" (soap dispenser) but ive seen vids where you can swap out the hose and wand with one from Ryobi i think and use a REAL foam cannon.
I've got the exact same pressure washer I've had it for 6 months haven't had an issue with it I like it it works great unfortunately there are tools knobs on UA-cam that just really hate Harbor Freight
Just bought one the other day, and it's not bad. It does feel cheap though with most of it being plastic, but if your into washing your car often then its a great buy. My brother and I will get a gas pressure washer later.
I bought one of these about 2 years ago and the only thing I've done is gotten a longer braided hose and a ryobi handle to use with surface scrubbers and decent foam cannons. It's a good starter for detailing or just washing the car or driveway off
Not that one but the professional ones yes. People always forget that the car washes they go to use electric pressure washers!! The AR 610 and AR 620 are my favorites.
Yeah we picked up 2 washer last summer off of Facebook for 20$ one was a green works and I dont remember what the other one is. But they both work well
I used to have one always worked great. The only thing bad about them and that goes with all pressure washers is that they turn of when you press the trigger, that means that the tip is clogged up. I did a few videos on it, and how to add a foam cannon with a quick connect.
not sure about the lastest version, with with the older ones, don't leave them outside. the hose input connection is aluminum and so is the internal connection pipe. my nephew left ours outside and it got rained on, hose got stuck in the input connection due to corrosion. literally could not get it to come off the end of the hose. unscrewed the piece out of the pressure washer just fine though. rendered that unit worthless.
Just FYI... The narrow tip setting on these WILL damage your paint and eventually peel it right off the car. Use the wider setting on paint. These do have a benefit of saving water also.
Yep when my current pressure washer goes I will likely get this one. My old Campbell-hausfeld 1500 psi still kicking away , I cannot get most parts for it anymore If something breaks.
I have a model similar to the compact one you used in the RV, it’s made by Wen. I have found the single biggest point of failure is the high-pressure hose connections. They rust or corrode in the O-rings disintegrate. Keep those connections will grease and lubricated. Some of the unions made for those hoses so you can extend it in length, or aluminum, the connections are steel on the hoses and they corrode together. Dissimilar metals corrode terribly. Remember to disassemble all the connections, lubricate them every time you use them.
rairadrai the o-rings and the treads of the connections. The male connection (with the o-ring is usually steel and the female is aluminum. They will corrode because of dissimilar metals. Keep them greased or better yet use “ anti-seize” compound.

I really like mine. I bought a longer hose from HD, and replaced the gun and wand so I could us a better foam Canon. Honestly I couldn't be any happier.

Hey Bear, it works way better if you get the adapter of of Amazon that lets you put a better quality foam cannon on it an you can put a turbo nozzle on it as well.
I bought this about a year ago also, when you took the end of the wand you showed and said it was like a garden hose. I was able to use this without the wand and it was fully pressurized. I was worried about the sprayer wand damaging the paint. I think you may have had a bum unit.
I use a Ryobi electric pressure washer (1600 psi) with a cheap Amazon foam cannon attached. Like you demonstrated, I don't get the crazy thick foam because it simply doesn't flow enough. But I get enough, and it beats the old bucket/garden hose method I was using before. I wish I had purchased the Sun Joe model. Sometimes the pump on my Ryobi revs up when I'm not even pulling the trigger. It was my first, and last Ryobi purchase. 😋
Electric power washers are great for those who live in locations with sound ordnances or in a shared area. If you own a home in a freedom loving area, gas is the only way to go. Even the cheapest WEN power washer on amazon will outclass the most expensive electric one. Also the foam canons benefit from the higher PSI & GPM. I also recommend those cheap under carriage attachments that cost 20ish dollars.
Ryobi electric is the one to buy. For one reason...universal connectivity. Standard 1/4" quick disconnect nozzle adapter, standard hose sizes and hose connectors, standard hose connector on wand + an excellent warranty. Have been using a Ryobi electric for 5+ years, no issues. Wait until on sale and buy. I bought extended warranty, and did not need it. Get a surface cleaner, too. My Ryobi also came with a quick disconnect turbo nozzle, that nozzle is awesom. .
I’ve had a Portland power washer for 2 years now, it’s been great up until the GFCI failed so I just replaced it with a standard plug and it’s fine now, also I bought a Sunjoe hose and gun for it and some attachments, it works great with the Sunjoe surface cleaner.
Hey, just a suggestion: Either turn down the intro music a bit, or pump up the audio where the voice says "Welcome to the Den of Tools". It's very hard to hear the intro with the music so loud. Just a suggestion. Love the channel, Tool Bear!
Mine does this too. It scares the crap out of me when it does that so I end up turning it off for a couple mins and just letting water flow through the gun for a couple mins. My water pressure is pretty light also. I’m so happy it isn’t just me that experiences this with this pressure washer lol.
Fortunately, while the proprietary hose , tip, and wand suck, the pump fitting is compatible with industry standard fittings, letting you buy a universal hose and attachments.
I use electric all the time for cars and small house jobs. That cheap one is just that, low cost or budget package. Better to get something with a standard connections and foam cannon of quality. Key to using PWer is they will use less water than the water hose. So saving water is important then the PW method is a no brainer.
Bear, let me explain how things are working here. The “foam cannon” you are referring to with the Portland washer is not a foam cannon at all, it’s a low pressure soap applicator. A foam cannon uses the high pressure of the washer to make foam, this can only be achieved with a washer that has changeable tips, like the new Bauer, or the one you showed previously.
What is funny (sad) is I bought a similar Pressure Washer at big Orange about 10 years back and have probably spent nearly the price of this HF one in replacing all the fakakta plastic hose fittings! I finally took it apart and put on brass fittings a few years back. Sheesh!
I have the full arsenal of Chemical Guys products and their foam cannon. This thing CANNOT push it. There is a huge difference in a 3k PSI pressure washer with a foam cannon and this thing. The former makes real foam, this things is just spitting sudsy water.
I use it to wash my yard. I have artificial grass and dogs, the spray foamed applies cleaner well, the pressure wets and rinses well, for the money it works fine.
You can buy a very good electric power washer for personal use around the house, with great foaming for cars/trucks. You just have to buy the correct tools. Spend a few dollars more and do not look back.
I've got an electric pressure washer and my son-in-law has a gas powered one. Guess which one runs every time you want to use it? I am trying to stay away from small gasoline engines anymore.
I personally bought and used this pressure washer and returned it the same day as it kept running intermittently. I would get a few seconds of full power, then a few seconds of half power, etc. Incredibly annoying and made it useless, I returned it. So ymmv
I bought one of these electric pressure washers and it only lasted 9 months. I drained it, even put Marvel Mystery Oil in it and it still won't work the next year. If they would only run about $30 they would be worth it but not at over $100.
Actually you are completely misinformed there's a Ryobi wand that has the same connection to the gun on this unit and a quick connect on the other side which attaches directly to a foam cannon
Your videos are always great man I had the sun Joe one a few years ago and honestly it was a great pressure washer for 50 bucks it was on clearance. But lately hf has been awesome I would like to know about the car port they sale
So glad you did this video! I've been wanting to buy one of theses for a foam cannon and just couldn't pull the trigger on one!!! Im going as soon as this shit flu stuff is over!!! Thanks for video
@Scooter George. If the siding is vinyl, Dawn dishwashing liquid diluted in a bucket of water and a brush will work. You can also try Oxy Clean as it will not harm shrubs. Test in a area you don't care about to make sure no harm to the siding. Hope that helps.
I know by comparing a dirty truck to a pic of a new car was about the benefit of using a pressure washer to clean it.....washing a dirty truck will give it a better appearance........BUT the over simplification is an overused and misrepresented sales technique. There is no way is a pressure washing (doesn’t matter the quality) or even washing a truck with a abused paint is going to look like a brand new car. It will only look like a clean abused truck.
your better off with a regular pressure washer gas or electric with a attachment on the end soap will build up over time in the pump and lines and clog and eat seals on the machine,
As someone who has professionally pressure washed many houses, roofs and buildings, this thing is OK for car washes and tiny bits of concrete, but if you asked me to do a single small house with this I'd tell you to fuck off, I have neither the time or inclination to mess with that level of bullshit. But that's me, who, after having used the good stuff, can not tolerate the entry level bargain bin things. The wand is garbage, the hose is garbage, the power cord practically stands at attention its so stiff. But for several times the cost of this you'll get a gasoline version that's only marginally better... Better in every regard, except louder and more expensive. At the end of the day, if you don't know any better, this'll probably be just fine for you
The cheaper ones are not worth it. They break within 5 uses. Built cheap, you have to treat it like a baby. And it will still probably break. Spend $300-800 and get a solid one. Well worth it if you have a bigger job than a single use application.
Great video but I hope this was just a demo of the washer and not how you actually clean your car. It's still dirty. You have to use a rag when you soap it up
At first I thought you took a field trip up to the land of moss and was going to chastise you for not announcing your visit! Aside for that, I wouldn't get that close to my nice paint job with a pressure washer. Even the little electric ones can blast into wood pretty good if you're not careful.

I got it on black Friday 2019 for the same price. For the price can't complain.

If the other one you have is the worx cordless one it’s actually pretty awesome especially the 48v one
The video is so cool!. I love the bear.
I personally bought and used this pressure washer and returned it the same day as it kept running intermittently. I would get a few seconds of full power, then a few seconds of half power, etc. Incredibly annoying and made it useless, I returned it. So ymmv
I use my ryobi electric one and love it and has a gas one just in case
You had mentioned that you were going to make a video on setting up the Hf drill press .how soon?
It's going to be a while. We just got lock down orders in Nevada and the drill is in my storage unit.
Run it (spray) for a minute or 2 with the power OFF as to work the air out of the system before hand. Running a water pump dry is quite harmfull.
Real foam cannons with gas pressure washers using Chemical Guys soap works very well!
I bought one of these electric pressure washers and it only lasted 9 months. I drained it, even put Marvel Mystery Oil in it and it still won't work the next year. If they would only run about $30 they would be worth it but not at over $100.
Bear please please review the 4200 psi pressures washer from harbor freight
Not sure if I’m using the wrong kind of soap ir what but the “foam cannon” attachment for my Portland pressure washer absolutely sucks!
I've got a suprize coming up for you then!
How to make soap work bettet
I just got mine , but the soap bottle is not that strong enough, this one has a different one ,
Can you add a different foam cannon to this pressure washer
Thank you I was waiting for THIS review thank you
I would not bother with a pressure washer thet can't do the foam cannon thing.
Actually you are completely misinformed there's a Ryobi wand that has the same connection to the gun on this unit and a quick connect on the other side which attaches directly to a foam cannon
Your videos are always great man I had the sun Joe one a few years ago and honestly it was a great pressure washer for 50 bucks it was on clearance. But lately hf has been awesome I would like to know about the car port they sale
So glad you did this video! I've been wanting to buy one of theses for a foam cannon and just couldn't pull the trigger on one!!! Im going as soon as this shit flu stuff is over!!! Thanks for video
Would this electric pressure washer work good for washing semi trucks ??
No. Won't reach high enough up probably and won't have the cleaning power for bugs and road debris after really long trips.
What's a good soap to clean vinyl siding? I know bleach does a great job but the pressure washer instructions say no to bleach.
@Scooter George. If the siding is vinyl, Dawn dishwashing liquid diluted in a bucket of water and a brush will work. You can also try Oxy Clean as it will not harm shrubs. Test in a area you don't care about to make sure no harm to the siding.
Hope that helps.
@@ccadama - Was hoping for something to spray on and rinse off.
I agree with C Adam, I use Dawn. It works great and won't kill my lawn.
Love my 4400 psi predator this unit isnt bad for the price though
Used one of these to wash out engine bays until it got backed over worked good for the price
Bought one, love it
I know by comparing a dirty truck to a pic of a new car was about the benefit of using a pressure washer to clean it.....washing a dirty truck will give it a better appearance........BUT the over simplification is an overused and misrepresented sales technique. There is no way is a pressure washing (doesn’t matter the quality) or even washing a truck with a abused paint is going to look like a brand new car. It will only look like a clean abused truck.
I just need something to clean a two story house. Looks like I'll still be looking.
Chemical brothers makes some amazing car Detailing solutions
it looks like you have a new market opening up. Bear spit as a lubricant! Have a great day!
One question can warm water be ran though this.
Can it yes. should it? Probably not.
Would this be powerful enough to bring back old sun-bleached cedar fence stakes back to life?
Not sure, never used a PW on cedar
your better off with a regular pressure washer gas or electric with a attachment on the end soap will build up over time in the pump and lines and clog and eat seals on the machine,
I bet the polar bear blends in with the truck 😁
Will this strip paint off a porch?
Good video jeff
Would this unit with the foam cannon be able to reach second story vinyl siding?
Yes but just bearly. 🐻
As someone who has professionally pressure washed many houses, roofs and buildings, this thing is OK for car washes and tiny bits of concrete, but if you asked me to do a single small house with this I'd tell you to fuck off, I have neither the time or inclination to mess with that level of bullshit. But that's me, who, after having used the good stuff, can not tolerate the entry level bargain bin things. The wand is garbage, the hose is garbage, the power cord practically stands at attention its so stiff. But for several times the cost of this you'll get a gasoline version that's only marginally better... Better in every regard, except louder and more expensive.
At the end of the day, if you don't know any better, this'll probably be just fine for you
Will this model kill corona virus? Doesn't specify, now my skin hurts and i still don't feel not sick
The cheaper ones are not worth it.
They break within 5 uses. Built cheap, you have to treat it like a baby. And it will still probably break.
Spend $300-800 and get a solid one. Well worth it if you have a bigger job than a single use application.
Electric pressure washers worth it? Only light duty.
Great video but I hope this was just a demo of the washer and not how you actually clean your car. It's still dirty. You have to use a rag when you soap it up
At first I thought you took a field trip up to the land of moss and was going to chastise you for not announcing your visit!
Aside for that, I wouldn't get that close to my nice paint job with a pressure washer. Even the little electric ones can blast into wood pretty good if you're not careful.
