Pressure washer
Was looking at a pressure washer for my garage and looking around wondering what you all may like any brands or sizes … what you like and don’t like .
Thanks so much |

Tried gas, too inconvenient and not necessary.
Got an electric ryobi brushless. Works good, foams well with the mtm cannon. Make sure you get a stubby gun, the long wand is a pain to use. Highly suggest a high cfm leaf blower for drying... so nice.

I'm using Active 2.0 and I like it. No issues so far. I did upgrade every accessory though like hose and gun etc.

I got one of those SunJoes from amazon for car wash duties a few years ago. It has been abused and neglected in every way but keeps working well. Highly recommended for the price.

I went with MTM Hydro Acqualine accessories and McKillans quick disconnects. I'm very happy with the performance of everything so far and don't think I can ever go back to garden hose washing. |

Current one is a little Ryobi from Home Depot, amd I got the extension hose so it now lives in the garage hanging off a shelf where there are no freezing temps. I had a Chemical guys one, but had to exchange it at local store due to manifold QA problems by 3rd use. Second one lasted quite a while till one night my feed hose split amd it basically ran dry amd ruined itself.
The Ryobi gun is swapped over to the CG gun and hose using the Ryobi included threaded adapter as the CG one is a better gun/wand.

I have the older version of this for a few years:
https://www.greenworkstools.com/coll...ressure-washer No complaints. I've used it for all sorts of cleaning duties such as cleaning the siding on my homes, sidewalks/driveway, and boat. Has a good balance of PSI with GPM.

Kranzle if you have money (and don't know what to do with it)🤑.
Active 2.0 is best for the money (great GPM and pressure)! I think the Pump is expected to last about 250 hours. Each car wash take less than 15 minutes of PW time. Based on my estimate, I would be death before the Pump. |

Good point on the pressure washers … I looked at the Kranzle nothing but great things about that unit ended up with the big boi unit I was sucker for the Christmas mark down . The 250 hours and 15 minutes of wash time was something that was never on my radar great point . Happy with the new big boi system. |

3 years with my Kranzle (same model). One nice feature is the system automatically turns off when not in use (not spraying water). I one with the top package offered by Obsessed Garage, then added a second hose and extra quick-release fittings. When using it in my garage, 50' is all I need. Outdoors the default hose is 100'.

I have a gas 3200 Ryobi and Electric 2700 Ryobi. The gas produces much better foaming for form cannon. Both get the job done. The the gas model works about 20 percent better

I like my Active 2.0
It’s cheap too. Just a bit noisy. |
