REVIEW of NEW 1900 PSI RYOBI PRESSURE WASHER | Best Pressure Washers for Car Detailing

[@jerryclleung]

Thank goodness your video popped up on my feed. I've been looking for a pressure washer for awhile now. I just couldn't pull the trigger or just been procrastinating the Krazler. And everyone's complaint about the, Sun Joe and other Ryobis, was that they don't automatically stop with the trigger. Oh thank you so much!!

[@imjoshv]

Glad I could help!!

[@josecollazos6]

@@imjoshv so do you do auto detailing ? If so you should have showed how to hook it up to a actual water tank to show how it works . Or do you use people water hose when you go their house ?

[@M5M4_hdz]

Jerry how is it did you get it ? Does it work good for detailing cars

[@jerryclleung]

@@M5M4_hdz sorry for the late response. LMAO, I just used it for the first time last week, yes I just unboxed it for you last week. It’s been sitting in the box in my garage for over a year,lol. It worked great and very strong, comes with 3 nozzles, black-extremely abrasive, yellow-semi abrasive but hurts to the touch and the blue seems kinda useless it’s so weak. Machine is great with the start and stop the moment you let go of the trigger. I have an upgraded spray nozzle which I will be swapping out because the gun it comes with as with others is too long. The hose is crap tho, kinks very easily and leaves a stress mark where it kinks. Then again I only used it once, but it is plenty strong, light weight, compact and quiet too. Hope that helps and if I had to buy it again, I would!

[@miltoncuevas5933]

@@imjoshv Hi Josh, I just picked this pressure washer and purchased your foam cannon. My question is do I need to replace the orifice (the spare one you provide) or the one in the cannon good to use?

[@andresfeliperamosromero3060]

Other than getting the hose connector turned around (watch out for that one), the machine is simple to put together and use kzbin.infoUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP . And very nice, too. I'm surprised at the power-it's more than we'll ever need, and we've not even used the most powerful setting yet.I've cleaned off a dirty concrete porch to get it ready for sealing, started to clean siding, and I know this pressure washer will be terrific for cleaning tools this fall.The only issue we had is we had turned around the hose connector, and it leaked. Once it was on correctly, though, we had no problems with the connection. Just remember that the end with the green knob goes towards the hose. It's obvious now what we did wrong, but not necessarily obvious at the time.

I keep hearing this is the sweet spot psi for detailers its quiet and portable and no nuisance with gas or loud engine noise and the fact that the short guns can be added if preferred and change the orifice as well for more foam from foam cannon with this machine. I will get one soon and start a side gig :3

[@imjoshv]

Awesome!

[@robertrobbins1367]

I have a really nice Gas powered Pressure washer, however I got tired of using it on the weekend to wash my car, starting it and stopping it so it isn't on all the time.. I actually saw this on sale for 100 bucks and picked it up.. Love the fact that it is super quiet.. I am guessing my neighbors are loving that as well

[@bampo525]

Chose this one over the 1600 just seemed more practical with the wheels and cable mounting features .... well worth the extra couple of bucks thanks for the vid really helped

[@Astrix69]

Just wanted to say thank for the super informative video. I've been wanting to get one and your video helped a lot. I know this is not rocket science but you def. made finding all the items in your video easy. Thanks for the tip as well on switching to the 1.1 mm orifice for the foam cannon, makes total sense....Take care.

[@imjoshv]

Thanks for the kind words!!!

[@Truckerguy35]

Thanks man, unfortunately I just bought a pressure washer, but was looking at how to use it a quick connect gun and hoses. You are the best. Really starting to get into detailing, and your videos are rockstar. So glad I stumbled across your channel.

[@imjoshv]

glad it helped with the quick connects!!! and thanks so much for the kind words!

[@BobBeer]

What were the orifice sizes for the stock 15 degree nozzle and your 40 degree nozzle?

[@weaponizedmemes3461]

I know 1900 is overkill for car washing (vs 1600) but I really like cage, handle, wheels, soap container, and color of the 1900 enough that it's worth the extra $50 (vs $100 for the 1600). I saw both your reviews and thank you for helping me decide on which to get. I have the gas Ryobi 2900 and it is great, but way to powerful for car washing, and my standard garden hose isn't strong enough. A small pressure washer like this seems almost necessary for washing and detailing.

[@imjoshv]

If you have the 2900 psi unit and you like it you can actually just change the nozzle and reduce your psi!! Im posting a video tonight about another pressure washer. Its rated at 1700 but by changing the nozzle to a 3.0 orifice and 40degree i get it down to 850psi and increase the gpm which is good for detailing cars! Check out the video that should be up in about an hour! The nozzles the ryobi machines come with have a ver small orifice nozzle which gives it the psi rating, but you can alter it if you need!

[@kimberella2105]

I just bought this today with the Armour all foam cannon. What fun it was to wash mine and my mom’s car with Maguires Ultimate Wash n wax!!! We’ve never had such clean shiny cars!!!!!! I’m subscribing since I washed all your pressure washer videos lol

Well this is a 1 year old video but I just bought the ryobi 1900 psi thanks for the review helped me to get this pressure washer 👍👍

[@AAtta-3286]

You are the MAN! I Stumbled on your latest Sunjoe pressure washer video because I was ready to buy it. After seeing you've made tons of pressure washer videos, I had a binge day on your video's and settled on the Ryobi 1900. Man what a great machine! Compact, lightweight for an old guy lolo and great power to clean my patio. You saved me $50 easy and with that money bought the Ryobi 12inch surface attachment.I have your recommended powerwasher gun on order too!. I hope you know you've made a huge contribution to all of us looking for powerwashers! Great informative videos. All the best! Anthony

[@imjoshv]

Wow thanks so much Anthony! And im glad you like your new set up! How does the 12inch ryobi surface cleaner work with it?

[@AAtta-3286]

@@imjoshv The 12 inch surface cleaner works GREAT! The key words when using it is. " move slow". You'll get streaking if you move too fast. I previously had an AR pressure washer that lasted me 9 years and their 10 inch surface cleaner. The Ryobi blows it away. Also important for your video watchers to note, Ryobi makes an upgraded surface cleaner BUT it's only for use on more powerful gas models which is stated on the box . It's beefier but the electrics struggle to power it as per other videos I watched. All in all the Ryobi is a winner and without your video's , I would have past it by. Many thanks again. Stay well, Anthony

[@mikeblin9614]

I removed over a decade's worth of dirt from my childhood home's back porch using this and the 1800 psi model. I definitely think you could use this to clean a deck. Little fella's got a lot of kick

I had a 2900psi ryobi gas washer. Pump ended up blowing on it. I gave it away. Just bought this setup. This thing is perfect. Very compact. Weighs 21 lbs. decent power as well My old one needed its own spot in the shed. This thing can just get thrown on top of something.

8 got the same pressure with the same hose and short gun. It works great. I got the Amazon Basic Foam Cannon with the pink soap for chemical guys and it work great. Really happen with result and yes I changed the used the 1.1 on the cannon.

[@nickshowsstuff435]

What’s interesting to me is the 1600psi unit and the 1900psi as well as another unit all come out to 1900psi when connected to a gauge so I looked into it and they all have the same size 13amp motor. Main differences is add ons like a spot to hang your gun, hose and also wheel upgrades. I started with the $180 one and traded it in for the $99 one bc it was the same power and also the $99 went on sale for $68 only about two days after I bought the $180 one for $149 on sale which was good but not as good of a deal as the other. Home Depot has the deals!

[@imjoshv]

Yea the $68 price the have on it right now is amazing

[@gryhze]

Visited HD yesterday and saw this model on the racks. Quick search and found this video as the best review. I'm buying with confidence. I'd like more details about your van and the resulting project.

[@imjoshv]

Thanks! Just did some sound deadening and flooring. Ill try to upload a vid about it!

[@nailars9147]

The water source hose was leaking 7:43. Is that because the hose wasn't on tightly or a flaw with the Ryobi female connector? Looks a bit sketchy when I see it leaking like that.

[@imjoshv]

Yea that was my fault. It was actually a hose that I had replaced the end on and it was leaking from there... not from the connection to the unit.

[@eewoll1]

what kind of adapter you used to connect the 50 long cord? thanks !

Yep it should work with a gravity fed system!

[@jonathansparrow7336]

I set up everything the exact way you have it and I even bought the linked products from the video but my in line pressure gauge only reads 1,600psi when the included 15 degree nozzle is on.

[@buu2936]

I also have this problem. Not sure why. Also when using a 40 degree nozzle with 2.5 Orfice I get 800-900psi. I thought I might have to get a smaller Orfice but I feel Ike that drops the gpm drastically.

[@yanksboy333]

Extremely informative and helpful video man - thank you!!!!

[@MPAutomotiveCrafts]

I think for a unit with total stop, 1900 psi and small footprint is a great product tbh!

[@jblaze725]

I have this same pressure washer and only have the original tips that come with it. What orifice size tips should I get for optimum use? The included 15 degree tip is too much pressure but I don’t know what size it is for reference.

I remember from your other videos you mentioned M22-14 mm QD is compatible with Ryobi unit. At 8:55 minute of this video, it looks like you were able to connect the QD into the pressure hose. Could you please let me know what size of the M22 QD you used 15 or 14 mm? Thank you very much.
