If you’re carrying this model in a trailer or back of your truck, you may want to remove the wand and store it separately to be on the safe side.Īs a medium-duty model, the Ryobi 2300 Brushless Pressure Washer is designed for tasks like car washing, driveway cleaning, and building maintenance, so that’s what I spent my time doing. The plastic wand holder on the side of the pressure washer is adequate, but not the most confidence inspiring when it comes to security. There’s a trigger lockout mechanism behind the trigger, but no adjustable spray like we see on the Ryobi’s 2800 PSI gas model. The spray wand is a fairly basic metal construction with plastic handle. Of course, you can always purchase other nozzles as you see fit, but these will cover the basic tasks. Three come with the Ryobi 2300 PSI Brushless Pressure Washer: 15-degree, soap, and turbo. Nozzles attach via standard quick release chuck. Even if/when it does, there are dozens of easy options to replace it. It doesn’t feel like it’s the most secure of connections, but it hasn’t failed on me yet. A hook and loop (AKA Velcro) strap keeps it from going anywhere. The hose stores just below the handle center. How long it lasts depends on sun and chemical exposure. Like all bungee cords, this will eventually stretch. The cord has a storage point on the side with a bungee-style holder. The combination gives you enough reach to avoid going back for an extension cord in many cases. The GFCI electric cord is 35 feet long and the hose is 25 feet long. It’s a favorite of Pros and homeowners, but this unit isn’t designed to handle it. However, there are explicit instructions to avoid using bleach.
The onboard detergent tank will auto mix at a 20:1 ratio. My only complaint is that at 6’2″, I’d like the handle to be a few inches higher when I’m pulling it around. The 12″ oversize wheels make rolling over hard surfaces and lawns pretty easy.
As an occasional duty unit, It should last at least a couple of years if you store it properly and keep harsh chemicals away. It’s very comfortable when rolling the pressure washer around, but I am concerned how long it will take before the sun starts to degrade it. There’s a foam grip on the top of the handle.
It’ll take you longer to break down the cardboard box that it came in than to assemble it. Connect the two lance pieces and you’re just about ready to go. You only have to click the top handle in place and arrange your nozzles on it. When you’ve got a good thing going, why change it, right? The Ryobi 2300 PSI Brushless Pressure Washer shares the same frame as their 2800 PSI gas model, which is a plus. Like all electric tools that you can use around water, you’ll notice the GFCI cord is there for additional protection. With a pull cord replaced by a simple on/off switch on the top, the electric brushless motor is a compelling choice for homeowners. This eliminates the need to replace carbon brushless, the motor runs cooler, and it has a longer life expectancy than its brushed counterpart. They can be frustrating to start and costly to maintain.īut Ryobi goes a bit further with a brushless motor. Homeowner units typically aren’t used weekly or even monthly, and occasional use gas pressure washers tend to have carburetor issues among others. The biggest for homeowners is that there’s no gas motor to maintain. While electric motors can’t produce the horsepower that gas can, they do have some advantages. The Ryobi 2300 PSI Brushless Pressure Washer packs a 13-amp motor as a power source.
So I don’t expect this pressure washer to do what I ask of my 3,000 PSI unit. Electric pressure washers in this range are targeting homeowners along with a few Pros that see the need for a smaller supplementary tool for their large gas models. 2300 PSI puts this model in the light- to medium-duty category, so those are the kind of applications I’ll be looking at. Let’s start by setting some expectations. Generally speaking, gas models offer more power than electric, so what should you expect from the new Ryobi 2300 PSI Brushless Pressure Washer? Pressure washers are all over the map when it comes to power and prices and choosing the right model can be a challenge.
