I'm guessing everyone keeps their outdoor water shut in the winter. Anyone manage to use it in the winter?

Here’s a 7 second clip of me using the Ryobi pressure washer with the MATCC foam cannon modded with a 1.1mm orifice. Using the meguiars gold class with 100mL of soap and 900mL of hot water.

Which adapter did you order? Found out that the MATCC foam cannon can't connect it to the Armor All wand directly since they use a proprietary connector...Serg81 wrote: ↑ ordered adapter and matcc cannon yesterday, gna report result when i try it. for those who wondering how good is that supplied foam dispenser - its so so, nothing even close to those real cannons we all see on youtube, foam isnt thick and doesnt really last. and for those who debating bout AA reliability and quality - AA dont build it , that unit is a OEM rebranded karcher K2 model so must be ok in terms of lifespan. just dont forget its a cheap light duty model so use it accordingly .

I ordered online from Rexdale location and my order was cancelled because it was no longer available. Customer Service called me shortly after cancellation and offered me the Spyder 1800 PSI 1.4GPM for $98. Not sure if this is a better product but I took it anyway for the same price as Ryobi.

Got the Ryobi on Thursday and used it today for everything from cleaning the siding, to the porch, to the deck, to the car. Very happy with it. Very small and quiet, and the three year warranty seemed about two years better than most other pressure washers in the isle at the store.
Bonus: it's small enough that I'll just bring it inside and store it in the crawlspace over the winter rather than bothering with winterizing it. Seems like most people only get a year from these little electric ones by not properly winterizing them, so this should avoid that hassle entirely I hope.

Doesn’t the armour all comes with a foam cannon already? I haven’t receive mine, but I was planning to use it. Have you tried?
Lurking on RFD for years. Finally decided to make an account...

It's ~20% cheaper, and in terms of brand recognition, the Armor All one is actually a rebranded Karcher, so it is made by a reputable company at least. The 1 year warranty and quick connectors do suck though.

The armor all one has an adapter which allows you to add a threaded quick connect. The black portion of this item already comes with the PW, buy. A quick connect at HD and you're good to go.

Amazon also sells foam cannons specifically with said adapter attached to a quick connect foam cannon

Yeah the Armour All comes with a tiny foam cannon but it's not the greatest. It'll do an okay job but I'm looking for something better. The foam is not as thick as the ones that you see Youtube and get from Amazon.

Does not having wheels on the Ryobi a show stopper for anybody? Is the sprayer hose long enough to do a deck with sitting washer at one end?

I saw this online at Costco and was thinking of it. I like that it has 4 wheels.rjpadua wrote: ↑I ordered online from Rexdale location and my order was cancelled because it was no longer available.

Have you opened it yet? Curious how the quality is.

Sorry, I am a bit confused. The Armor All does come with a proprietary twist connector to thread adaptor for the included brush. Are you saying that Home Depot sells a thread to 1/4" adaptor? Do you have a link?DudebuD wrote: ↑ The armor all one has an adapter which allows you to add a threaded quick connect. The black portion of this item already comes with the PW, buy.

I just got back from Home Depot and it seems like they only have threaded adapters with female 3/8" quick connectors.DudebuD wrote: ↑ The armor all one has an adapter which allows you to add a threaded quick connect.

Were you talking about this kind of an adapter? Power Care 3/8 in. Female Quick Connect x Male M22 Connector for Pressure Washer
I could not find any 1/4" female quick connectors which are needed for my Amazon foam cannon.

I may have been incorrect then, I was browsing quickly. I know that amazon has an adapter though...raydizzle wrote: ↑ I just got back from Home Depot and it seems like they only have threaded adapters with female 3/8" quick connectors.

It’s good enough for what I needed it for which is washing the car. If you’d really like a heavy duty one probably go for the 2030psi which they sell at Costco website.
