RYOBI RY142300 2,300 PSI 1.2 GPM High Performance Electric Pressure Washer

Investing in a pressure washer can result is big savings over time, especially if you utilize it for multiple projects. For example, you could use it twice per year to clean the siding on your house, four times per year to wash your driveway and walkways, once per year to restore your decks and patios and multiple times per year to clean your boats and recreational vehicles. RYOBI has a stellar line of pressure washers for residential use, as well as models that are designed for commercial use.

When shopping for a RYOBI pressure washer, you first want to determine whether you’d like an electric or gas model. An electric model is great if you’re completing work around the house and you have outdoor outlets to work with. Gas models are a better choice when electricity isn’t easily accessible, or you don’t want to worry about a power cord getting in the way. Let’s say you enjoy flipping houses, but you need to power wash a property that doesn’t yet have the electric hooked up. In this instance, a gas-powered pressure washer would be a better choice.

Determine how much power you need to tackle the jobs at hand. A RYOBI pressure washer with a 1,800 or 2,300 PSI is fine for regular cleaning jobs. If dirt and grime have really built up over time, you’ll want to go with a model that offers between 3,000 and 3,600 PSI.

Check out how portable the RYOBI pressure washer is before you buy it. While all of their machines come with built-in wheels for easy maneuverability, some aren’t designed with transport in mind. These are best purchased for home use. A compact and lightweight model with a carrying handle is ideal if you have a cleaning job away from home. The company even makes pressure washers that take up less space when stored. They’ll either have reversible handles or a design that allows them to be placed vertically when not in use.

Consider a RYOBI pressure washer that comes with a few extras. You’ll find some units have a bonus turbo nozzle that speeds up cleaning time by 50 percent. Others feature built-in accessory storage for keeping any additional wands and hoses neatly organized.
