One of the best things about these videos is that we learn things at the same time as the presenter does. He also presents knowledge without pretending he is better than us. He even shows us his mistakes and is not afraid to be proven wrong. A very effective way of teaching and building trust. Thanks Josh.

[@Martin210670]

Hi! I've always had cheap, low psi PW in that past and each got the job done and lasted me 4-5yrs each. 2yrs ago I decide to treat myself with a more powerful, HD one and spent my hard earned $500(can) on that Simoniz Platinum so-called Heavy Duty 2300psi PW. It finally gave up last Friday a few days only after the 2yr warranty expired (and I don't use it in the winter time). It just died on me while washing the cars. Really disapointing. So I'm now on the hunt for a replacement. and looking for the best possible electric PW, that's how I bumped into your awesome reviews!! I like the time you take to detail every aspect of the tested machine. Easy to understand, very well detailed, and entertaining. Love it!! Thanks for this. NOW... I've narrowed my search to 2 models: the Dewalt 2400 and Ryobi 2300. According to you, which should last longer? Which do you believe I'll like the most? I use my PW to work around the house in spring time mainly but also yr round too, and to wash the cars and the family's mountain bikes. So it is being used on a weekly basis. Thanks for your input on this.

[@jameskauffman5669]

Greenworks pro 2300psi! And 2.0gpm great for house and car just gotta get the 3.5 orifice and you'll get that 2.0gpm he's got a review on it and he loved it

[@joeldubose5762]

Heres the thing about testing the nozel size for gpm. Theres a ramp up period, where it goes from about 500 pounds hose pressure to max psi. During that ramp up period its not at the flow rait if max pressures. If you was able to measure the flow rait, after the ramp if peeiod, then you would know.

[@Intellistan]

The question is, can you unmount the motor from the frame and mount it on the wall and use it as a stationary power unit

[@rlewis1203]

I have a Ryobi 1900 psi PW but was leaning towards this one for my next purchase. The Ryobi is great and I prefer the electric vs gas due to less maintenance

[@imjoshv]

i agree!

[@evilskeletor1]

Straight talk. It's been a while since I've come across a video that I genuinely felt like I got what a needed out of it. Solid video!

[@imjoshv]

Thanks so much!

[@theHoolser]

The motor total stop is only good for noise standpoint, takes few seconds to get the power back up every time and the motor will not last as long if they keep the motor running at idle, also the air-tires are not good

[@gnarkill57]

It is a Positive Displacement Pump, so 3600 revolutions (RPM of the Motor) puts out the same volume of water regardless of pressure, that is right up until you overload the motor and the motor RPM slows down, then the GPM goes down. I would bet that if you put a nozzel that brought the outlet pressure right down to 10 PSI above you house supply water pressure you would still get a very similar GPM, +- a few %.

[@ozylil]

Before I purchase I look for Josh's reviews.........H e has steered me away from a Simpson electric pressure washer because it continuously runs even when not being used........leaning to the Dewalt

[@davestewart9146]

I’ve been watching all your pressure washer reviews and still haven’t decided yet but I’m leaning towards the dewalt for my needs, thanks Josh 👍😁

[@imjoshv]

Seems like a great choice for over all needs!

[@mcclurep77]

@@imjoshv , Hi , thx for the vids . Do you like this as much as the Ryobi 2,300 ?

[@andrewheitzman]

You should look at the Craftsman 2400 psi 1.1gpm. I purchased it yesterday and it is almost the same except a much better handle, and plastic wheels. Love it for all around projects and washing car at home!

[@imjoshv]

I just saw it at lowes today! Ill probably pick one up at some point to review! Thanks

[@HandymanTim]

It's probably the same motor and pump since the specs are the same and Black & Decker owns both companies.

[@gonzalo_v503]

Looking for a pressure washer. Just for home needs and washing my car and wife's car. Nothing commercial. This one looks like a good machine for my needs thanks to your video! Home depot has it ar $329 now so when you said $299. I'm like dang. 299 is good lol

[@cm.5023]

Thank you very much for your in-depth reviews. Out of all your electric pressure washer testing which one over 2100 psi would you say is the most powerful. I have a 2500 psi gas unit that I would like to replace But can't decide on a replacement.

[@chrislavigne1212]

Out of the ryobi, craftsman and dewalt what would you recommend best overall for siding and driveway cleaning? It would only get used 2 times a year if that. I do have a battery powered worx for the car and kayaks works great for them

[@UUBrahman]

Looking forward to seeing you test the Harbor Freight Bauer 2000 electric pressure washer. Nice reviews - thanks.

[@imjoshv]

Coming soon!

[@jaysona3066]

For your personal experience which is better between the Ryobi RY142300 and Dewalt DWPW2400?

[@smokeya2]

Electric pressure washers suck compared to gasoline ones. For the cost of this Dewalt you can purchase a gasoline mode that gives you a lot more psi and double the gpm waterflow.

[@cesarlebron8152]

I have the same pressure washer. But once you let go of the trigger it loose pressure and needed to turn it off and back ok to get it to work

[@97clubcar]

So did you do the same test on the ryobi 2300 and if so how do they compare.

[@BVLVI]

I am going to buy 2 and use a connecter to double the flow rate. I just saw a YT video on two gas-powered 4,000psi machines why not do the same with electric. Most normal hoses have no issue doing 4 or mine does 8. so really i could hook up 4 of these off 1 hose without issue. Free video idea. YW hahaha

[@imjoshv]

So two units running into a single connection hose?

[@PJ-lg3zf]

Very smart guy, that's the kind of review I like, thank you!

[@imjoshv]

I appreciate that!

[@Jeeper1378]

Fwiw it should say the Orifice size on the nozzle. Edit I thought you said you were going to try a couple other nozzles ? Active uses a odd size 3.7 mm Orifice. Im guess the Dewalts are 2.5-3’s ... try the Active 3.7’s .. will drop the psi to 800-900 but increase the GPM some.

[@imjoshv]

I hooked up at 3.5 and it dropped it all the way to 500psi

[@Jeeper1378]

@@imjoshv Wow .. what are the dewalts?

[@imjoshv]

I don’t know exactly... They aren’t listed but I would guess the 25 and 40 are either 2.5 or 3.0. The 15 degree has to by smaller probably 2.0 or less

[@97clubcar]

I bought mine last year and it worked fine. Now when I hook it to my foam cannon it keeps shutting on and off. If I use the Handel and a tip it work just won't with the foam cannon

[@timbotimbo4476]

Found a local person selling this unit used for $100 and of course, I looked to see if you had reviewed it....Of course you did! LOL

[@jeremypearson6852]

I like the wheels and the easy installation of the two main pieces. I may look into this if my Sunjoe spx gives up the ghost.

[@raymondsiewert2720]

Good review . Higher GPM may use a little more water, but higher GPM is more efficient . My Sun-Joe is dual power 1400, 2000psi at 1.6 GPM and is a cart style like that, not an upright.

[@imjoshv]

Sun joes make great machines. Sometimes their posted numbers are quite accurate but they are great machines

[@Giorgio_Rampa]

The DeWALT one, the handle keeps falling off. If you look at the picture on the box and the one in the video, the handle holder is different (same for all others that they sold). They need to fix this issue, since it's annoying to have the handle fall all the time...

[@imjoshv]

interesting

[@LivingLife128]

the guage does not lie about pressure. if you put a red in there , it might hit 2400 psi.

[@imjoshv]

👌

[@efrits86]

using an electric pressure washer with a foam cannon you say to switch out the orifice. is that for every foam cannon? recently purchased the MJJC 3.0 foam cannon and have a greenworks pro 2700

[@clintsaines9274]

From all the videos I watched I like the craftsman 2100 psi.

[@SamPosten]

Just tried to install mine. The Uberflex won’t even connect to the output line. I assume this means they changed it and you need to use a 15 to 14mm adaptor now?

[@emp0rizzle]

i wonder why no one extrapolates... if you get 2qt at 30 sec, then you can extrapolate that it will be 4qt at 1m since the flow is linear.

[@imjoshv]

That’s correct but for the “gallons per minute” I like to show the full minute so there’s no confusion. It only take an extra 30 seconds

[@alexanderaliaga1519]

for detailing for sure the Active ve52 is best with the high gpm! Active VE52 pressure washer: amzn.to/3w3doaG

[@asdetailshop]

I’m in the same boat as you man, I’m leaving towards the Active but it’s double the Ryobi and has to be ordered online.

[@rookiexreviews]

decided to keep it and also going to grab the tack life gas powered 250 with coupon figured that's total $450 for both which is what a electric washer with enough psi/gpm for my purpose would cost any ways right??

[@ronherman6033]

Picked up this pressure washer today to replace a SunJoe SXP3000 that is three years old and leaking from pump. I have the flexible hose arriving tomorrow but wanted to give it a try. So used teflon tape around end of DTLR Foam Cannon I just got...put in 1.1 insert that was in bag in box....got it all hooked up....worked like dog shit. Couldnt get anything from foam cannon. Gonna swap out the insert tomorrow to see if I mixed them up during my haste to put together and change...as could not see any markings. My snub nose handle is due here Monday or Tuesday....what a disappointment. Wife is giving me that side-eye look for spending all this money and it not working. LOL Any ideas as I think it should have worked today with factory hose and attaching cannon to end of OEM spray wand handle...correct?

[@chrismorgan3302]

Looking good Josh! Looking the prevalence of electric and auto shut-off pressure washers. Constant running ones are hard on the ears!

[@imjoshv]

I agree, even though it’s not that loud when they keep running(for the electric ones) or still makes me think that the motor is working too hard

[@matsudakodo]

Disappointed that for the price of this unit they didn't include the much better DeWalt wand that comes with the 2100psi flat pressure washer.

[@imjoshv]

Yea I agree. This one came out first so maybe they will do an update and include the new wand

Great Review Josh! I'm confused on if this dewalt unit needs the M22x15 to M22x14 ADAPTER to connect to your pressure washer hose? you have it linked in this description, but i didn't see you attaching it in the video.

[@imjoshv]

Sorry about that. NO you do not need the adapter for this one!!

[@Numero1rm]

Which one would you pick between this one and the husqvarna from Costco for washing my car?

[@josephtheinflatableguy4609]

I would still go with the Ryobi because it delivers 2300 PSi when working and the turbo nozzle puts out more PSI

[@imjoshv]

Turbo nozzles are funny.. The actually decrease the psi, but they do create a more powerful stream some how....

[@mysterious_codm6812]

Does that blue hose leave marks on cars, like the regular cheap ones?

[@alvslvfdo]

Question here: Is it bolted or welded to its base? I ask this cause I planning to get this model, but I would like to take off the wheels and set it over a flat platform. This way I'd know of I had to make some cuts here and there or simply unbolt it. Thanks a lot for sharing! Cheers.

I purchased the DeWalt 2400 based on your UTube Video and I really like it. I also purchased the Uberflex hose, quick connects and hand gun that you link; however, I cannot get the linked quick connects to work to connect the Uberflex hose on either end to the Dewalt machine or to the gun. What am I doing wrong??? Are the quick connects you link supposed to work with the Uberflex hose? They work with the garden hose and wand sprayer.

[@imjoshv]

Hi Diane Did you get the adapter for the hose amzn.to/3aSf7Yc The quick connects should fit on the hose with no problem as they are an m22 14mm fitting like the hose. The Dewalt Pressure washer uses an m22 15 which is why you need the adapter. When putting the quick connects on the hose make sure to push it on before tightening.

Thanks for the sub! The Dewalt is great cause it has the total stop system (so do the craftsman 2100 and 2400 - check out the vids i did on those) The ryobi 2300 doesnt have the total stop but its a durable unit. I would just go based on price. The dewalt and the craftsman 2400 get more psi but thats because of the nozzle. The Dewalt has the best wheels and would be easiest to wheel around so that may be a deciding factor for you!

[@_brushie]

Very informative, one question though is what do you consider a good GPM for car detailing?

[@dailygrinders89]

1.4 and above

[@GSP-76]

Rather than gpm, if the pressure washer gives you consistently good pressure with your tips, that matters more. Cheaper units aren't consistent over long term use so you wind up having to work longer. I would say the cheaper electric pressure washers are more than sufficient but I'd would definitely buy an after market gun, get better hoses and good tips. For comparison sake, I bought a cheap electric washer that has all the lies on the advertising about pressure and gpm but I get a consistent 2100-2300psi with the included stuff but with my aftermarket gun and tips, I am getting just under 2400psi. I can clean the dirtiest vehicle in no time with a foam cannon. and wide tip.

[@jdog295]

[@whatshisface1390]

What sort of applications would you use the turbo nozzle on?
