Ryobi 1500 Battery Powered Pressure Washer? | Now With Self Priming | Car Wash Tips

[@CarsWithKeav]

Right Now there is a listing on Amazon for $499 with 12 left in stock. That is a way better deal than I paid! amzn.to/3IClZsT

[@milazemay]

Still too much.

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@milazemay Depends if you want the batteries or not. Was a great deal for me. I can Edge, trim and blow my yard with one battery now.

[@mikeblin9614]

@@CarsWithKeav This pressure washer needs a "tool only" option. I don't need anymore 40V Ryobi batteries

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@mikeblin9614 I’m at that point now, but I do like taking older batteries out of my rotation. They have a tool only that is 2k PSI, but it’s $500. Even if I have too many $100 for 2 6AH batteries not giving up that deal. I don’t need 2k PSI.

[@milazemay]

@@CarsWithKeav Yeah I decided to get one. And I paid full price. It is worth it. You don't even need to use the boost function. This little guy is powerful enough in regular mode

[@tomfromtacomas7249]

Thanks for the great review. I love the outtakes at the end, especially when the nozzle got loose and started spitting around the garage. It made me laugh because we probably all been there a time or two.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Happens to me every video I get all caught up in the testing and forget something. 🤣

[@cepeduh]

Hey man, new sub here. Great stuff-just watched your 3 videos on this power washer as well as the Ryobi 18V 600 PSI and the 40V 1200 PSI power washers. I just had a quick question: can the UberFlex hose, wand adapter, MTM stubby gun, and McKillans’ quick connects all be used on the 1200 PSI power washer? Thanks and much appreciated for the thorough reviews!

[@CarsWithKeav]

Yes, the 1200 psi uses the same connections as any other Ryobi pressure washer. Uberflex should book right up.

[@cepeduh]

@ I was just wondering because you didn’t show yourself using the same attachments with the 1200 PSI power washer, but that’s perfect. Thanks again!

[@CarsWithKeav]

@ I didn’t expect most using this to change anything, but probably should have said you could. Thanks for the feedback!

[@DizConnected]

I just ordered one from a seller on Amazon for $299.99, I will be really surprised and amazed if it really comes new with the batteries and charger. Or maybe I'll get a matching stove mitt like the one I got when I ordered my surround sound stereo system.

[@CarsWithKeav]

If it is with the batteries that is a heck of a deal. Good luck I found the listing and it is very vague whether it does or does not have batteries.

[@DizConnected]

@@CarsWithKeav I really wanted to get the EGO with batteries but at $799 vs $299, if real, I could not pass it up. I just want a pressure washer to work out the back of my car without requiring a generator to run it. The EGO would be the best, at a cost. This will be my 1st RYOBI 40v product, but it looks like it will deliver all the PSI/GPM I need. I want to use a foam cannon to foam then rinse, then coat the car with DIY Rinse-Less Wash V2, contact wash with said rinse-less, then dry or let it air dry because I will be using RO water from the drinking water vending machine that has a TDS of 002, but reads 005 after adding the rinse-less wash. Should still be spot free.

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@DizConnected You really got it all figured out! In the end the Ryobi can do quite well and they all will get the job done. Just about everything I have is 40v Ryobi especially all my lawn equipment and since I switched to Electric 5 years ago I have not replaced one tool or had to work on them. My old Ryobi gas tools I had to rebuild carburetors and spend time tuning and getting them started in the spring. Only thing I have done is upgrade the batteries over time which probably cost me the same as the fuel would have been over all those years.

[@on2usocom901]

Ho, did it come with batteries. I ordered one as well and it seems to come with them, but unsure. Lol

[@DizConnected]

@@on2usocom901 Yes it arrived new in unopened box with all the original equipment including the two 6ah batteries.

[@robertfowler3457]

I see Ryobi have a 2030psi unit now, any plans to review that one?

[@CarsWithKeav]

They kind of stopped making this one and replaced it with the 2k which based on what others have told me is the same thing just they used smaller nozzles to create the extra pressure. That’s the main reason I never reviewed it.

[@krishnakumarmalu9400]

Have you tried attaching the chemical kit nozzles to this one to see if its any good for say rinseless? Which one do you recommend- this or the 600psi ezclean if purpose is only for car?

[@CarsWithKeav]

The chemical nozzles don’t attach to this unit as it doesn’t use the same connections as the 600 e clean. Different design and pump as well I would not send any harsh chemicals through this machine other than say Rinseless wash or a ph nuetral soap. If doing rinselss I think the 600 is the better deal and machine. They have a deal at Home Depot for $199 that basically has every accessory.

[@NO_OPEC_NO_PROBLEM]

Great video, have this unit.. Did the usual Keav pressure washer upgrades to unit, quick disconnects, Uberflex Hose, and washer gun.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Awesome! Hope it serves you well.

[@dannysandoval5195]

Excellent video on this cordless pressure washe Keav. How is the noise level? I wonder how does it compare to Greenworks or Sun Joe?

[@CarsWithKeav]

The new Ryobi cordless pressure washer features a brushless motor and is part of their “Whisper Series” of tools. It operates at 57 dB and is said to be “81% quieter than a gas pressure washer.” That is from their website. Based on power boost I think add 5 or 10 db.

[@tryingtocorrect]

Good to hear no difference noticed on power if taken water from the bucked.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Yeah, some others lose a bit of performance especially on battery.

[@cfwebdeveloper]

lol wife in the background "ha ha haaa" great video. I kinda do like this because I hate dealing with cords but that price though. Still at 499 as of this comment though. If I had their other products it would be a no brainer so I can use the batteries for them too.

[@annagraham6204]

I agree. If it was red and said Milwaukee I’d consider it even though they’re both owned by TTI.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Too many brands out there and not enough universal batteries. Etsy guys are making adapters though for some of these.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Just like Android and Apple you get sucked into a brand and the more you buy the more stuck you get, but if you use several brands then you’re juggling batteries. Ryobi makes good stuff so I’m not complaining. I made this unit even more portable. I got a 3 gallon backpack tank that connects up. Works great.

[@brokenSnake]

Foam therapy, I get it. Personally, it doesnt feel right washing a car with two buckets. I feel like using foam canon for soap delivery to car allows a lot more lubrication and feels a lot safer than just the standard two bucket method. Especially when using carpro reset.

[@CarsWithKeav]

I usually rock the one bucket with multiple heavy microfibers or even no bucket using the spray gun to rinse off the wash mitt after each panel. I usually always use foam as lubrication for the contact wash.

[@brokenSnake]

@@CarsWithKeav and a lot more sudsy. A big part of washing your car is to have fun. Foam cannons are definitively the best thing about it. Especially with the mjjc

[@marksTips466]

Great review. question: it has 2 batteries but is it using both batteries at once; or you run it on one battery and then when that goes low you switch to the other battery - getting double run time?

[@CarsWithKeav]

Depletes them at the same time based on what I have seen.

[@hercules71185]

Also, it doesn't add power. For me. Having 3 chargers and 4 batteries. If I run one at a time I stay running full time. A disadvantage I'd constantly changing batteries Iol

[@chadrea7149]

I bought this unit today and have a few questions. Did yours come with a filter installed inside the water inlet? It states there should be one in the manual, but I don't see anything but an elongated white plastic rotating piece of some sort. Also, there was a white hard plastic washer looking piece in the bag with the accessories. Is that a gasket that's supposed to be inside the self priming adapter but dropped out? Finally... what degree of 2.5 orifice nozzle do you recommend for washing a dirtbike or mtb with this setup? Thanks for making the video!

[@CarsWithKeav]

There should be a filter that is connected to the hose so you can put it in bucket or pond. That is the only one I remember. The plastic washer is the gasket for the self priming adapter. I had the same problem seeing that washer then found out it was needed when the self primer adapter was leaking real bad. You still have to tighten the adapter down real good as well. If you have an Instagram or Facebook and need anymore help DM @carswithkeav on both. We can share pics there and much easier to communicate if you need more help.

[@Enthusiast_detailing]

That’s pretty impressive for what is !

[@CarsWithKeav]

Agreed, the price is the problem for those not using Ryobi tools already.

[@AdiMatzliah]

I couldn't understand what are the differences between the new 2000PSI model and the 1500PSI? (Except for the PSI of course) Is the operating time of the device shorter or longer with the 6ah batteries?

[@CarsWithKeav]

The more AH you have the longer the operating time. The 2000 PSI I have not tried, but if it’s anything like their other devices a lot of time it’s just a different nozzle tip. Could be a different pump as well. I would think the 1500 would last longer on battery as the higher the pressure the more stress on the motor and would use more electricity.

[@AdiMatzliah]

​@@CarsWithKeav Yeah, that totally makes sense, but on their website, they claim that the 1500 PSI model provides a runtime of up to 25 minutes, while the 2000 PSI model offers a runtime of up to 45 minutes (both with 2 6ah batteries). So, I'm wondering if that's true. 🤷‍♂

[@mt-0935]

What’s the name of the foam gun?

[@CarsWithKeav]

MJJC S V3 it’s on Amazon here amzn.to/4aDtL1X

[@UwU._Sqb]

Hey man would you recommend this PW for mobile detailing? How good is the run time of the battery?

[@CarsWithKeav]

Lasts 15 minutes or so. If you had 12 amp hour battery and had multiple sets it’s possible would still need an inverter and charger to charge a spare set while driving around and using the other batteries. Ryobi did come out with a cheaper 1200 psi model I did a review on that uses just one battery and does pretty good. This video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKS5hYh_e9Woi68si=suDyss734gyriLa7 Ego make a good one as well that I have reviewed. I might review the Greenworks one as well I hear it is really good too.

[@UwU._Sqb]

@@CarsWithKeav how’s the run time of the 1200 psi one?

[@omarmayorga1]

Hey, where can I get the self priming adapter? Or how is it called on amazon? Thanks

[@CarsWithKeav]

I’m unsure of where you could get it. It comes with the pressure washer. Pressure washer has to be designed to be able to self prime for it to work if you are trying to use with another unit.

[@omarmayorga1]

@@CarsWithKeav I bought this pressure washer from ebay, but they did not send me this adapter, I am looking for it on homedepot but I don’t know how is it called

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@omarmayorga1 I would have to see if I can find my manual for a part number. I wouldn’t think you could get through Home Depot. Ryobi would be the only place to get it if they sell it as an individual part.

[@omarmayorga1]

@@CarsWithKeav I would appreciate if you find it 👏 I can’t even find an image of both sides of the adapter, but it looks like a M22/14 high pressure adapter

[@General.Audience]

I’m still on the fence with the Ryobi 1500 vs 2000 power washer

[@CarsWithKeav]

It’s a tough decision. The 2000 PsI one is $500 without a battery. Two 6AH batteries is going to run you $400. It says it lasts longer on batteries than the 1500 though. Problem is where are you going to need 2000PSI? At that point I think it would be better to have a gas pressure washer.

[@Zpiet820]

The only and the best review! Do you think it's the best battery powered pressure washer in the NA market? I can only find one or two more similar pressure washers that are not bare guns attached with batteries. This seems to be the only promising option. Im wondering if the foaming performance using this ryobi washer with default mjjc s3.0 is comparable to corded machines? I heard that the foam cannon should be adjusted if i use a less powerful washer. Is that the case here?

[@CarsWithKeav]

Thank You, Ego is coming out with one this spring that is supposed to be way better, but I have not reviewed it yet and it will be $800 I will try and get one when they come out. You can run a 1.1 orifice with a s3.0 and get great foam that is the same as the corded machines as it’s getting the same PSI and flow. Ryobi also has a 2k PSI machine that is supposed to have slightly better battery life, but it’s $500 and doesn’t even come with batteries.

[@Zpiet820]

@@CarsWithKeav Thank you for the info and clarification!

[@milazemay]

You didn't use the syphon hose on the car. The ability to syphon water from any water source is the only real draw, for me. It's why I bought the EZclean

[@CarsWithKeav]

It’s for sure a niche item. I wanted the batteries. Being able to syphon far from electricity with 1500 PSI is for sure it’s biggest selling point.

[@brokenSnake]

​@brokenSnake how do you deal with the water? I currently have two buckets which add up to 9.5 gallons. I'm afraid that won't be enough considering this machine draws more than 1 gallon per minute

IKR!, I am still unsure if it’s any different and they just changed the nozzle sizes like they do every pressure washer they have.

[@johnparkerzabala]

Sir thanks for making this video. Is it compatible with the ryobi water broom machine for under carriage? 🙏🫡

[@CarsWithKeav]

Should be compatible with any normal 1/4 quick connect device. As long as the specs are within reason for it to work effectively. Some brooms and surface cleaners have a minimum and maximum PSI the require.

Agreed, this is for sure when you have no other choice. I think it will work well for condo or apartments users for their back desk if they have one or for washing their car. Cleaning farm equipment way out in the field using pond water would be another.
