[@manuelangulo3992]

These pressure washers work perfectly fine, especially for the price, plenty of foam and water. No need to spend thousands of dollars unless your doing this professionally and washing more then 20 cars a week.

I disagree.

This dude is something else. All he wants to do is promote whatever he has going on , he's all about himself and that extra buck. The only products any good to him are the ones he promotes. Look around on you tube and see how many detailers use Ryobi. These pressure washers are totally fine . I've had the one In the middle going on three years with no problems. I also detail for a living and on average do about 10 cars a week. So you could imagine if added up how much money this ryobi has made me.

[@thomasmeisch5692]

I have the 2000 Ryobi, only $149.00 on sale and has worked great the past years, washcar every other week, use the same foamer. Used it to powerwash driveway, side walk, siding on North side of house and several decks. Think I have every attachment great little powerwasher

[@1ELiMusic]

I’ve had the ryobi 1900psi for 3-4 years now… it lives in my garage throughout all year long. I live in New England so… it kicks ass and fuckin love it. The only mod’s I’ve done are the quick connects and swivel gun. It’s amazing.

[@chriscuthbertson]

I'm currently try to 'soup up' my Ryobi EZ Clean. I have converted it to 1/4 quick disconnect and am gonna try it with 2.0 nozzles. I am also waiting for some foam cannon orifices to turn up, gonna try 0.8,0.9 and 1.00. It actually does quite a good job at spraying the car in stock form, but the Ryobi foam cannon is terrible.

[@Rad1oD3mon]

I've had Ryobi starting out, then upgraded to the Active and Active 2.0, then upward from there. I'll be honest, if it weren't for Active's amazing customer service, I'd rate them below Ryobi in simple fact that before upgrading, my Ryobi lasted 5 years without issue whereas I had to warranty my Active VE52 and VE56 three times before getting a unit that worked without issues. You don't always get what you pay for these days. Matts ego aside, Obsessed Garage still is a good source for information and I've yet to ever have to contact their customer service (or look for a phone number lol).

Can someone explain something? I got this Ryobi 1800psi 1.2gpm washer and I learned you can change the nozzle so that you can play with the GPM and the psi. So i order the 3.0 mm nozzles. The stock nozzle says 15017. So i guess is 1.7mm but then when I used the 15030 i didn't see any difference in the flow but i heard the pump was being overworked it sounded just like when a car needs to shift gear... I though bigger orifice would make it work less but it sounds the opposite to me, louder and faster Why is that? and this is with all the 3.0 nozzles.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I find those all to be too janky to even consider. I also don't find them interesting. Also, the only reason I tested all these cheap ones is to figure out what fittings and nozzle size they need to provide a listing of support products to make them better.

[@jivon14]

I have the smallest one as a secondary it it really packs a punch for the size and portability. The difference in foaming is noticeable but no so that it’s not adequate and that comes down to the gpm. In reality you don’t want large amounts of pressure. The biggest thing you’re absolutely not getting is the build quality, longevity and serviceability you get with professional grade pressure washers.

[@tier1detailing]

What Clarity Auto Details said. Also, a benefit of having 1.2 GPM for mobile detailers is the water savings. Some detailers carry a tank for deionized water for the rinse cycle, which isn't the cheapest, so the fewest acceptable GPM the better. Also, the smaller the water tank you have to carry around, the more room you have in your van
