Ryobi Pressure (Power) Washer Unbox & Review

SUBSCRIBE: bit.ly/2LQB1gi
↓↓↓↓ LINKS BELOW!
We needed a Pressure (Power) Washer for a bunch of different outdoor cleaning projects around our house. I wanted to get one that matched both power and reliability without major cost. After looking at a lot of brands and models, we settled on the Ryobi 1800 PSI 1.2 GPM Power Washer (129.99 at the time) and so far it has not disappointed. My video details the unboxing and the different ways I used it - cleaning our cars, deck pillows, deck rugs and a deep clean of our driveway. I hope you enjoy!

I've been watching videos about this unit for about a month off and on. This is the FIRST video that showed what I wanted to know. Clicking add to cart right this second!!!

[@diywithandrew]

I’m so glad it helped! Thanks for your comment.

[@lakim00]

I have this problem often so I feel your pain but also I’m glad we both found something direct and to the point as well!

[@robertengland6961]

Thank you for getting straight to the point and down to business. So many channels just wanna talk forever.

[@diywithandrew]

Thanks for that awesome feedback and for watching! 🙏🏼

[@EASTCOASTIMPERIAL]

@ Robert Yeah, I enjoyed this review!!

[@colej1206]

I watch the long ones on 1.5x speed

[@stevenkelley13]

Finally a video that shows HOW to assemble it and use it. Not everybody knows how these things work lol thank you!!

[@diywithandrew]

I’m glad to hear that it helped! Thanks for taking the time to watch and let me know.

[@alphariffs]

I was waiting for someone to throw the car to him 😁

[@diywithandrew]

Lol

[@NhatNguyen-xs7kl]

Great review, just curious how long did it take to pressure wash your driveway? About the same size as mine.

[@diywithandrew]

Thanks! It was about an hour give or take. At least I think!

[@caninecoach2223]

Excellent video/..answered all my questions..love it ! Ordered on line immediately!🥰

[@diywithandrew]

Wonderful!

[@daviddickey8100]

How do you get it to work? If an old a 100 year man with stood on a ladder and pissed on my head, i would have got better pressure.

[@diywithandrew]

Not sure I can help you there. Lol

[@2Shine55]

Ive been looking at this unit really hard the last couple of months. Because of your video, this might be my next purchase.

[@diywithandrew]

Glad it was helpful!!

[@luisibanez3180]

Got this model to start detail washing my own cars. You answered all my questions 💯 good vid.

[@diywithandrew]

Right on!!

[@chrism9674]

Do you think it would clean the green/mildew off a deck?

[@diywithandrew]

I’m no professional but I think it’s worth a try!

[@alexpaul5612]

I have a Ryobi with the same rotating nozzle and it alternates between rotating and just a fixed stream. Not sure why it doesn't rotate constantly as designed but I ended up just using a fixed spray nozzle for the high pressure work.

[@diywithandrew]

Nice!

[@neilsar1]

No matter how I tried, I couldn't get the nozzles to attach -- until I saw you attaching them in the video. Thanks!

[@diywithandrew]

I’m so glad it helped!!

[@jonb7597]

You didn't use soap on ur car?

[@diywithandrew]

I’m sure it was in the bucket. Maybe I forgot that time.

[@jonb7597]

Is the soap cannon on yhis any good I just plan on rinsing with cannon and soap and rinse and that's it

[@jonb7597]

I just got it today

[@Gretzky2857]

Great video! Which nozzle did you use for your car, I must have missed it. Thanks!

[@diywithandrew]

Thanks! The black one.

[@JulesRoyal]

Great video. No fluff. Straight to the point. I have a heavy duty gas Honda washer, but it is such a pain to get out and move around, even with the wheels on it. I have been looking at one of these smaller electric units that can be stored and transported a lot easier. Obviously, if I have a bigger mess to deal with, I will use the gas washer. But I think this little guy may be enough to do driveways, patios, porches and the odd vehicle. I'm going to pick one of these up in the next few days, I think. Thanks for the video.

[@diywithandrew]

Thanks for watching and the comment! I think you are right on and I hope you enjoy it.

[@alexbenitez-oj2rp]

I’m having issue with the power outlet doesn’t seem to turn on I keep testing the power resetting and testing but doesn’t seem to work any info would help before I return it

[@diywithandrew]

Sorry to hear that. That sounds like a strange problem. I would return it for another one.

[@maximocastillo3637]

Does your power washer from the just trying to figure if mine's is messed up or not thank you

[@diywithandrew]

Sorry I am not sure I understand the question.

[@LoiLaing]

Excellent and to the point. Thank you!

[@diywithandrew]

I’m glad to hear that. Thanks for taking the time to watch and let me know.

[@rdnretiredatlast4918]

Did you use the orange nozzle for the entire car OR just the tires? It is hard for me to tell. Thanks!

[@diywithandrew]

Yes. The whole car. I only used the crazy strong one (green) on the concrete and cushions.

[@Leon1982db]

Just paid $99 for one. Can't wait to use it. I have a big gas one but wanted electric for convenience on the vehicles.

[@diywithandrew]

Awesome! I think you’ll like it.

[@javvydelarosa5587]

Thank you for showing it straight to the point!

[@diywithandrew]

You bet! Thanks for watching

[@Rachelcenter1]

I wish you showed how to put the tight nozzle on because I can’t figure that out

[@diywithandrew]

Whoops! It should just be the same way as the other one?

[@rachel987-q6c]

@@diywithandrew nope. the long black is insert and then twist. that doesnt work at all with the tight nozzle. instructions say push and im pushing as hard as i can and its not going in.

[@YapiVlogs]

Do you just connect it to a regular garden hose?

[@diywithandrew]

Yep!

[@carianin5293]

How bout that soap dispenser?

[@diywithandrew]

I have never used it so I have no idea! 😂

[@ngochoan15]

Can it adjust speed? Thanks!

[@diywithandrew]

I think just pressure from trigger on handle.

[@EASTCOASTIMPERIAL]

Andrew B How is this pressure washer holding up?

[@diywithandrew]

Still solid!

How good does the soap gun work

[@diywithandrew]

I’ve still never tried it. I have no idea. 😆

[@felipemuniz1360]

Would you recommend using this on the house as well?

[@diywithandrew]

Yea I think it’s just right for that but I’m not a professional.

[@bill7168]

Well done! Concise, to the point and attention to detail is appreciated! Keep them coming.

[@diywithandrew]

Thank you!!

[@mrgainey]

I bought nine used and can't figure out how to change the nozzles.

[@desiretuiel]

Press down on the gold ring and it releases

[@diywithandrew]

You should be able to pull up on the gold ring and release it, similar to an air compressor fitting. Hope that helps.

[@diywithandrew]

Yes! Exactly.

[@phillipivey6753]

Great video man

[@diywithandrew]

Thank you!

[@robavailability]

Thank you so much. Really appreciated this video. Is there a way to keep the water flowing without having to constantly squeeze the lever? Do you know what that red thing is for on the handle?

[@diywithandrew]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting. I thought that the red thing was to allow it to lock and not have to squeeze the handle because I was hoping the same thing. My hand gets tired squeezing the handle. But I can’t figure it out. If you do please let me know! Lol

[@wendychimes2081]

The red (thing) lever needs be be pulled down and it will lock it to keep the water flowing without squeezing the handle constantly. It works like the lever on a gas pump.

[@helsonly722]

how has this held up? Will this last a long time?

[@diywithandrew]

It’s been over a year and still going strong.

[@HeAdChEeSe1983]

Good video no bs

[@diywithandrew]

Thanks. I try to keep it real and honest

[@rebeccagutierrez1960]

Thanks! I wanna get one.

[@diywithandrew]

It’s a useful tool, I think!

[@JLillard5]

How do you think think this would do on a house and awnings?

[@diywithandrew]

I think it would be great. Strong enough but not too strong.

[@JLillard5]

@@diywithandrew awesome thanks for the quick reply, Going to do you a favor and subscribe as well!

[@yugenknows740]

I bought one of these and I can't make it work. It has less pressure than just holding my thumb over a regular hose..... which is how I ended up washing my decks. 😠

[@diywithandrew]

That sucks! I would return it and try again or at least get money back. Sorry to hear that.

[@yugenknows740]

@@diywithandrew thanks. I took it all apart and reassembled it and used a different water source and now it's working! 😄

[@dhansel4835]

How many amps does it draw?

[@diywithandrew]

It says 13 amps

Are those matching Ryobi sneakers? 😂

[@diywithandrew]

Haha!!! Nice detail!

[@sirrichardlangfordii7247]

That was helpful! Thank you so much! And great job on cleaning your driveway and deck furniture! I'm thinking about opening a pressure washing business and I love Ryobi products! I'll hang on to this video as a tool!

[@diywithandrew]

Thanks for letting me know. And thanks for those other kind words! That sounds like a great idea you should go for it.

[@mirnac.2906]

This was great. Thanks for posting!

[@diywithandrew]

Thanks for that kind comment and watching. Really appreciate that!

[@razastyle6771]

Does it have for hot and cold water?

[@diywithandrew]

I’m sure you could run hot through it if you had a hot source.

[@Tulsarepair]

I actually would NOT, Try running hot water through it. It's Designed to Run on cold water.

[@jessandjoeb9321]

How’s the soap sprayer

[@diywithandrew]

I’ve yet to use it. Lol

[@949surferdude]

From what I've seen the soap sprayer is trash so I bought a $20 foam gun with foam soap. Will try it soon.

[@futbol1972]

How do I maintain it? Do.i need to add something to preserve pump?

[@diywithandrew]

I don’t know. Maybe someone else can comment who knows?

[@Emoney559]

My nozzle is flimsy and not getting much pressure

[@diywithandrew]

Sorry to hear that. Maybe ryobi will replace it?

[@Emoney559]

@FieldTreasureDesigns I'm wondering if I did something wrong but it's not rocket science 🤣
