I bought the ryobi electric, 2000 psi, similar price.
the wand trigger developed a major leak after 4-5 uses,
the company is so aware of it, that they sent me a replacement no charge, forums talk about that issue as well.

2000 psi using an electric pressure washer is just OK,

you need higher push and good water flow.
There is an earlier suggestion to rent a gas one periodically, I like that idea much more and if didnt own one, would do so.

I dont recommend the ryobi electric if you have hard to clean areas that need major psi

Don't know if they sell in USA but I have had a Karcher PW for years, and they are very good.

My pressure washing days are over. Paying someone else to get wet these days. I have too much in the garage as it is.

I also looked at gas washers but are they too much trouble because of storing iwith fuel and its required maintenance?

I am a snowflake so the washer could be sitting for extended periods.

We got rid of our gas pressure washer when moving here and brought the electric one I use for cleaning our vehicles and boat. The electric has enough power to do the basic maintenance cleaning we do as issues appear. As others have stated professionals can do the job at a reasonable cost. I have found pretreating the area with the proper cleaner makes the job easier and much more effective. We have a Greenworks 2700 PSI electric that handles our needs.

If you are looking for electric, check out Paxcess.

Hi friends. I’ve been in the industrial cleaning industry since 1994. I would not recommend purchasing. Seals dry out, tripped fuses, and fuel odours in garage. When it breaks you may as well throw it away because the repair is worth more than the machine ( retail machines).

I use an Amazing young man with great business. Did his own website for The Villages. But this forum won’t allow me to post website.

He isn't asking for references. He's asking about a power washer

From my understanding snowbirds are people who stay in TV all winter for months at a time and snowflakes go back and forth more frequently.

I’ve had a gas and currently have a cheap 99.00 Ryobi electric power washer from Lowe’s and it works great. I’ve used it on gutters, cars, driveway and sidewalk. It worked great and had paid for itself many times over. If it breaks no big deal. It’s cheap enough where I’ll just buy a new one.

I’ve also had a Greenworks which performed well too.

If you want the best pressure washer you can buy, check out obsessed garage. They are right here in lady lake.

Honda engine is a must for a gas power washer. The engine will outlast the pump at least 3 to 1 times.

Used to do it myself, now have Richard King at 352-408-2094 do it once a year. He does a great job for a great price. I rinse the house down every 3 to 4 months with the garden hose and it looks great for a year or more. Save the money and your back moving it around.
