Customer Reviews for RYOBI 3000 PSI 1.1 GPM Cold Water Electric Pressure Washer

I have used some power washers no gas is great and for an electric one this is great built in soap dispenser a 5 in one nozzle makes it so much easier to go from soaping everything down to washing it off. The turbo nozzle made quick work of the concrete under the carport everything has a place to be secured so no loosing parts. The 12-inch tires made it easier getting it up and down the porch stairs. The thing I did not like was the pressure hose I found it impossible to unwind. But after an hour of fighting, it I took it off and put it in a bucket of warm water which helped it to become a little more flexible. The last thing I do before putting it away is put pump protector in it because things happen and it one last thing to worry about at the end of the season

Some assembly is required such as installing the wheels and the handle. There is a quick setup reference guide that is very useful. It includes instructions on using the detergent and what nozzles to use depending on what you are cleaning. I found the easiest way to install the wheels on the power washer was to lay the power washer on its back. See picture. That gave the easiest access to install the hinge pins to the axles. The unit also comes with a laminated card that has the nozzle selection guide on one side and operating instructions on the other side. I zip tied that to the handle for ready reference. The unit also comes with a caddy for conveniently storing the wand, the nozzles, and the high pressure hose. The only thing I found lacking in the entire installation process was there are really no instructions for installing this caddy. But it was very intuitive and I had no problems with that. Works great. I really like the feature where when you trigger the power washer gun it comes on slowly and then ramps up to full pressure. This will prevent an unintentional gouge in any surface you're working with. Also convenient is the nozzle tip. Instead of 3 different nozzles each with a different angle, there is one nozzle that twists to different working angles. Kudos to the engineers.

The RYOBI 300 PSI 1.1 GPM cold water electric pressure washer is easy to assemble and for the most part not too bad a unit. I only used an inexpensive electric pressure once so I'm not really that familiar with them. This one seems to work okay but I don't really care for the high-pressure hose. You have to be very careful not to kink the hose because that would ruin it but the hose is coiled hard plastic and very hard to keep it from getting tangled in itself. I used it to remove old paint on the cement foundation and it did a fairly decent job. I'm sure it would do a great job cleaning up a weathered deck in preparation before staining. You cannot use bleach in the unit or any acid chemicals. These could damage the pump. The unit comes with 2 nozzles. One is a high-pressure cone and the other one has 3 high-pressure fan width settings and 2 low-pressure ones that automatically activate the soap dispenser. A Velcro strap holds the high-pressure hose and the electric cord for storage. It does roll around nicely on the large wheels but the handle bar tilts towards the front which seams backwards to me and is a bit awkward. I will also add that I could not find any mention of using this to wash a car or truck. I suppose the high-pressure could have the potential to cause damage to some vehicle parts if used incorrectly.

This thing is a MONSTER. Used it to clean the driveway as well as the siding on the house. Made quick work of both of them. I plan on trying it on my car wheels, which I'm sure it will work just fine. I just love the all in one nozzle, where you can simply select the spray type you want, including the soap option. Has enough hose and cord to reach those difficult area, if you have any. I highly recommend this washer

We already had a smaller pressure washer that was ok for small areas & was ideal for small concrete patio and pool decking, but our driveway is made of stone and double wide and very long. The spaces between each stone in the drive collect mold here in rainy, south FL and we decided we needed a far more powerful pressure washer to get the job done. Research led us to this super powerful Ryobi. Its 3000 psi puts it in the heavy duty category for sure. It delivers an incredibly powerful 1 gal per minute of water flow via its different nozzle settings. If you have a large area or long drive like we do the power cord for this washer is 36 ft long and the pressure hose is an additional 36 ft. It is unlikely you would need an extension cord with the 72 ft of reach but if you do the instructions recommend only using a 12 gauge extension. The machine was easy to set up and is extremely easy to use. There is nothing complicated about it. Attach a hose to your water supply, plug the machine in and squeeze the trigger. One caveat- no matter how careful you are your shoes and pants are going to get splattered with dirty water so wear rainboots and old trousers. This machine can dispense pressure washer soap although we have not felt any need for it. The pressure cleaned our heavily textured bricks and cleared out the spaces between the bricks with one pass of the water. We used the narrowest angle setting of 3 settings on the "general" nozzle. There is a second "turbo charged" nozzle that we did not try. This model has a very quiet, brushless motor. If you need a powerful pressure washer then you should check this one out for sure.

This electric pressure washer is surprisingly very powerful. I use it to wash off our driveway, sidewalks, patio, and pool deck. It can also be used to clean siding, brick, stone, or stucco. Being electric I do not have to worry about getting gas for it. It has several heads so you can pick the amount of stream and pressure you want to use. It is easy to roll around and the hose is pretty long, making it easier to do larger areas. My neighbor is using it this weekend to do his driveway and sidewalks, as it works better than his 2100 psi gas one.

This is really an impressive pressure washer and the fact it is a electric makes it that much better. The pressure washer is rated at 3000 psi which is the highest electric pressure washer I have seen and is in line with your gas powered washers. The specs on the washer are as noted it is a max psi of 3000, a brushless motor using 120 volt, it uses 1.1 gallons per minute, includes a 35 foot hose and finally a 35 foot electric cable that is gfci protected. The unit itself is fairly light at just 40 pounds. Assembly of the unit is very quick and only requires adding the wheels and screws for the accessory bar. Basically you can have this ready to go in about 5 minutes out of the box. Set up to use again is easy and all required items can be store on pressure washer. You get a 5-in-1 nozzle that can switch from 15 degree, 25 degree, 40 degree and then a soap jet or soap fan option. You also get the turbo nozzle that really does an amazing job and is my go to. There is also an onboard soap tank. The handle is very comfortable in the hand and is made of durable metal and plastic handle. The motor when running is very quiet and is no louder than a box fan on medium speed. So quiet you probably don’t need ear protection to use. That is a big plus in addition to not worrying about fuel or oils. Start up is as simple as pushing a button. The pressure washer comes with a 3 year warranty and though I don’t know the longevity of this unit I have a smaller 1600psi from Ryobi that I have used fairly frequently for several years and have never had an issue with it. Overall this is a very impressive unit and I would definitely recommend this not only to a homeowner but to professionals looking to move away from the hassle of fuel

I have everything Ryobi, so I was excited to try this pressure washer. Ryobi 3000 PSI 1.1 GPM Cold Water Electric Pressure Washer is well designed, and constructed. It comes with all the bells, and whistles. An easy to understand quick use guide, and use/care manual. The power washer was very easy to put together. A decent height handle. A long enough power cord, and pressure hose. Initially, the pressure hose was stiff in a wound up position, and kept getting tangled. Once I let it lay out in the sun it was flexible, and easy to use. The 1/4" Quick connect wand, and quick change nozzles (turbo, 5 in 1) are priceless. The 12" flat free wheels maneuvered easily on my lawn, and rock landscape. The parts were at my fingertips with the onboard storage. The soap reservoir was easy to access on the front of the unit. It cleaned 2 years of grime, and lichen growth off of my white vinyl fence. It cleaned years of grime off my pavers. I did need to hold the turbo nozzle right on top of the items I was cleaning. All the 5 in 1 nozzles were gentle, and I was able to apply soap without fear of taking the paint off. Out of respect for my neighbors I usually wait till after 11 to do loud jobs on the weekend. The premium brushless motor is so quite I was able to pressure wash early on Saturday, amazing! However, while using it I kept thinking my old pressure washer cleaned just as good. I wondered if my water pressure was off. So, I gave the old pressure washer a go. Turns out it was the nozzle that made the difference. My old electric pressure washer is 1400 PSI with a fan nozzle. It cleaned just as good as the Ryobi Turbo Nozzle. That is the reason I gave this four stars. I think the turbo nozzle needs some work. I would still recommend this pressure washer because it offers so much more than the typical pressure washer in this category, and certainly more than my old pressure washer.

Works ok for an electric pressure washers. The cons: Doesn’t quite feel like it was delivering 300 psi. A bit of delay in pressure when squeezing the trigger. Pressure kind of comes and goes when holding down the trigger for more than 20 seconds at a time. This did not work on my 15 amp plug outside. Had to run the cord into the kitchen to a 20amp plug to get it to fire up. The pros: really high quality Nice brass fittings all around. Long hoses and cords. Nice big wheel makes dragging up and down a few patio stairs is a breeze. Nice attached soap container. Rotating nozzle is better than keeping track of 4 individual ones. Over all of your just blowing off lawn furniture or have a small job like I did, it’s more than adequate. For any bigger jobs, electric pressure washers, including this one, aren’t quite there yet. Honestly, I think I like my Generac a bit better for a lower price.

This Ryobi model RY143001 pressure washer came unassembled in a box measuring (in inches) 23 X 15 X 21. The unit was cleverly packaged, and was not damaged in the slightest amount. (I say this because, who wants to have an item shipped to them only to find it damaged?) In this review, I am making some positive comparisons to my former Ryobi pressure washer. (My prior Ryobi unit was leant to a neighbor who used to live 1 mile down the road, and he liked it so much I never got it back!) Assembly took just about 10 minutes, and the only tool required was a #2 Phillips screwdriver. This unit was MUCH easier to assemble, and the instructions were much more clear. This rig also has a handle that folds down, saving space when storing it. My prior unit had a 16 gauge power cord, which I questioned. This unit has a 14 gauge cord, with a length of around 36 feet! The GFCI device (permanently attached to the cord) was made by ELEGRP. (I have favorably reviewed some of ELEGRP’s products, also, here on the Home Depot website.) The wheels have an outside diameter of about 11 3/4”, which allows them to roll over some pretty uneven ground. When parked, the top of the handle stands at 36 inches, and was ergonomically comfortable for my 6’ 2” frame to pull around. The balance of this unit, when moving it, is also better than that of my prior Ryobi washer. The rig carries a 3 year limited warranty. Ryobi claims to be the #1 pressure washer brand. I’ll agree with that. Overall, Ryobi made some great improvements to a pressure washer that was already very competent. Be sure to read all of the safety instructions.

I got rid of my 190gcv Ryobi 3200psi gas pressure washer and purchased a 1500 40v pressure washer and this electric 3000 pressure washer. This is for heavier task such as concrete cleaning. It did a good job. My concrete is white again. Using Ryobi wheeled surface cleaner

The Ryobi pressure washer has a thirty-five foot hose, making it easy to use in and around the garage, workshop, and driveway. It was an easy snap-together assembly. It wheels freely about the area, making a fast trip to hose down the vehicles. The 3000 PSI is probably more than we need here in this shop, but, the more power, the better. Our last Ryobi only did 2000 PSI, so, wow, big difference. The quick-change nozzle is very convenient, and features lots of spray patterns for lots of various jobs. Worth our upgrade to this machine. Great investment. Long live Ryobi.

This Ryobi 3000 PSI is everything I had hoped it would be. (My husband is sooooo happy!) It was very easy to assemble! Simply attach the wheels and the handle and you are good to go. And it has a lot of power - it actually cleaned dried cement from the inside of our wheelbarrow! A really nice feature is that it has great range - the extra long hose eliminates the need to continually reposition the unit. Also really handy is the on board detergent tank. The only even slightly negative thing would be that there is a great buildup of pressure the first time you depress the trigger, but then that may be normal as we have never used a pressure washer with this much power. Overall, we are very pleased with this unit and would definitely recommend it to others.

Ryobi 3000 PSI 1.1 GPM pressure washer Received my new Ryobi 3000 PSI 1.1 GPM pressure washer today just as I was getting ready to wash window screens with my older, less powerful pressure washer. First thoughts while opening the box, looks well built, heavy duty so to speak. Pulled out all the items from the box and began to assemble. Assembly is straight forward, two wheels and the back plate that holds the wand, nozzles and the power cord. The handle rotates up to move it around or you can pull out the quick release pin and rotate the handle down for storage. I must say it looked backwards when I first saw it, but maneuvers well once assembled. Comes with a 35 foot 1/4” hose, it feels like that cheap plastic hose which I do not like as it is not too flexible and seems to get in the way while you wash. It also comes with two nozzles, one is a 3300 PSI MAX turbo nozzle, I previously purchased one for my other pressure washer which works great and the other nozzle is an all-in-one which contains the normal tip sizes (15, 25, 40 degree and soap), not a fan of these either as they add weight to the end of the wand. The wand is pretty nice, it is a lot longer then my other one so I don’t have to bend over as much as I am pretty tall. The power cord is pretty long too, 35 feet and is flexible unlike cheaper power cords. Hose connections are on the right side looking at it from the front, output on top and supply on bottom, they are close together so it you have large hands you may find it difficult to tighten up the hose on the supply, I have a brass shut off at the end of my hose soI don’t have to run back and forth to shut off water. The power switch is a water tight push button, pretty nice. How does it work? With all pressure washers, first prime the pump, turn on the water supply and pull the wand trigger to get the water flowing, choose your tip. Once you get a good flow going release the trigger then press the power button and start washing. The max water flow is 1.1 gallons a minute which isn’t much, but cleaned my driveway pretty good. The pump is not loud and sounds like a mini turbo. The instructions also states to use pump protector fluid before and after use and for storage, this is the last paragraph in the quick reference sheet, Home Depot carries this. All in all a well built pressure washer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best electric power washer out there. Very easy to use.

Pressure is nowhere near as represented.

Stopped working after the 1st use. Kept tripping breaker

I hope it lasts unlike the two Craftsman power washers I had before. As for its performance…the turbo head cleaned our concrete easily and much quicker than prior Craftsman electric power washer that was rated at 2400 psi cutting down on cleaning time. The unit seems well made with exception that they designed with water inlet and outlet stacked next to each other making it difficult to tighten the connections. They should have been placed on opposing sides. The holder opening for the wand is too large allowing for the wand to slip down/thru. Because of those two flaws I could only rate product as good instead of excellent.

The product is outstanding. The only issue is the next week they offered a free surface cleaner attachment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just bought this and did my roof with it. It has the best pressure of any electric washer I have ever bought. Sometimes it takes a minute for the pressure to build, but as long as it continues to work I'll be one happy camper!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tore my shoulder pulling my gas power washer and had rotator cuff surgery so I purchased this 3000 psi Ryobi electric power washer and it works better than my gas one.

Great, fast delivery. Exactly what we ordered.

Glad I purchased it good for the house and driveway

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this and beat back the green algae from my porch! Did a fantastic job. Look forward to using it again.
