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

eBay has sellers from China selling the "1.1mm orifice" that will give you much thicker suds for $1.5. Search YouTube for installation and videos showing the difference it makes.

hey guys, i used the Ryobi all around my fences, deck, etc and found it worked well. I basically used it for a few hours and then noticed leaking oil out of it. Clear oil, and it had that same funky smell as gear oil. I returned it to Home Depot and decided i was just going to think about it. Not impressed that it leaked oil all over my deck. It never stopped working but didn't leave me with much confidence. It really did work quite well though.

The plastic wheels on these tiny pressure washers like the AA one is a gimmick. It's not heavy enough that you actually need to wheel it around and if you drag it by the hose when doing work you just tip the PW over.
The form factor is actually a reason I went with the Ryobi instead. It won't tip over and easier to store.
THE CHILDREN ARE FINE!!!

Used it twice and haven't seen any oil leak. Where do you see the oil leaking from?xman111 wrote: ↑ hey guys, i used the Ryobi all around my fences, deck, etc and found it worked well.

Got the Ryobi. My only beef with it is how painful the hose is to work with. It's VERY rigid.

I agree. My first washer and not enjoying juggling the power cord, my water hose, the machine's hose, and the gun + lack of wheels.
Thinking it might be worth spending more on something with better on-machine storage, wheels etc

I ordered the Armor All, but managed to get my old pressure washer working again while I was waiting for delivery. If anyone wants it, I'd be willing to sell it for the $79.99+tax price. It's still fully wrapped and unopened. PM me (located near bathurst & finch in toronto). Otherwise I'll be returning it by the end of the week.

I ended up getting the Ryobi and it works good, only thing I noticed is that the intake for the water hose seems loose...as in the metal pipe going to the pump. I can wiggle it back and forth, is this normal??

Mine does the same thing, so I guess it’s just the way it’s built - unless we’re both coincidentally lucky. I made sure I scanned a copy of my receipt and registered the product for warranty on the Ryobi site just in case anything goes wrong.

Depends on their policies, but most store don't accept returns on power washer if used if I remember correctly (unless there is a defect, in which case they do an exchange).
But this might be YMMV ....
Good luck.

Also bought the Ryobi and did open the box but did not hook-up to hose. Read the instruction manual and was concerned about 3 aspects of this PW, so i am very undecided whether to return/keep. Would appreciate opinions of any users of this machine regarding...
1. Need to use PUMP LUBRICANT after EVERY use. Do you use this at all/everytime OR just drain gun etc.
2. NO on-board soap-dispenser.It would seem a pita to rely on a separate soap container with a hose running into it to be able to get soap/cleaner into the system
3 NO WHEELS. I knew about the lack of wheels before reading manual BUT when you combine this with the need to use a separate soap container, it all sounds very cumbersome.
I am seriously considering returning this unit but am impressed with some other aspects ie. size/build quality/cost etc. Would really appreciate any comments from current users of the Ryobi regarding those 3 aspects.Thanks again.
