Suggestions for pressure washer?

lsturbointeg · 03-13-2020, 08:51 PM

Hey fellow members! My compact Ryobi pressure washer took a crap. Looking for another electric model. Not really wanting a gas powered because of the maintenance side of things. Price range $150 - 250. Any suggestions would be much appreciated

like to hear any pros and cons of what you guys are currently using. Thanks

This is what I have
K1900

Works great for my needs. Make sure you get the extended ( I have the 3year) warranty. They will just swap it out relatively quickly

A local repair shop says the electric power washers in general are "disposable and don't last more than a year or 2."

OP, if you want a unit that will last for quite a while I suggest laying out the cash for a proper pressure washer as you'll likely be replacing it in a few years.

I got a cheap electric one from Walmart to wash the cars and works fine for me. Just powerful enough to knock the dirt off but not harm the paint. It’s a hyper tough 1600 psi and I first saw it in use by a YouTube video car detailer. Works great with my foam nozzle and soap and knocks all the bug and tar off before I use iron remover and clay mitt. Cost like $50. What’s nice is it’s portable and not a pain in the ass to lug around or put away which ends up taking more time than actually washing the car.

I have an electric and a gas one. What maintenance are you talking about? My gas one has been far more reliable than my electric one.

Kärcher, any model you like..

jsf721 · 03-14-2020, 06:24 AM

I have had mine for 3 years and would buy again. They have a brass pump head and last.

I agree mine has been going strong 3 years now, I don't use it as much as others but it is a good little machine!

Yea! I said the same thing. Its only to wash my car.

doogee · 03-16-2020, 09:23 AM

My Karcher K4 has been great for over 5 years and sees pretty heavy use.

MPOWER5266 · 03-16-2020, 09:29 AM

If you can find one, I have been very happy with my Yard Force brushless. The rest of their washers are rebranded crap.

I would say with that price range Sunjoe is kind of the go to but they are junky. Check out the Obsessed garage youtube channel, he has pretty much reviewed every electric pressure washer out there.

Conissah · 03-16-2020, 10:13 AM

Anything electric. Find one with decent reviews in your price range, done. It's so easy to just plug it in and hook up a hose.

Also, if anyone wants CHEAP 5 gallon buckets, hit up Firehouse Subs. They sell the buckets for $2, and the lids for $1. All proceeds go directly to first responders. They smell of vinegar / brine, but they're dirt cheap and go to a good cause.

Firehouse? Don't believe they do. If you don't have one near you, then I guess you're SOL.
