Ryobi RACPWS2

Game changer for the Artificial Turf and car – I can attest to Debbie C's review that hubby is like a kid let loose in a water park when using this. Since buying it he's spent hours outside and all our old and tired possessions are like new again. The main reason we purchased it was for the Artificial Turf in our courtyard. After the rains of 2022 it was barely visible under the dirt and moss, and we had no idea how to save it. The Ryobi turned it back to looking like a freshly mown real lawn, washing the moss, mud & weeds down the drain & turning our retaining wall back to something resembling timber.

Purchased from Bunnings for $229 in 2023, it comes with 2 different type pressure nozzles, a rotary brush & detergent spray bottle. It's easy to move around while using as it has wheels, and connects with regular hose fittings.

It looks and feels like decent quality when using it, without any junky plastic parts that feel like they'll break in 6 months. It's also fairly easy to switch between accessories with my tiny lady-hands without me swearing like a trooper - something that isn't possible with many other household appliances!

Last week I went out to wash my car and hubby chased me down with the pressure washer & accessories. Having an older black car means washing it needs to be done quick so the suds don't dry and leave marks on the paint, and the Ryobi didn't disappoint.

The detergent spray bottle worked a dream to get the wash & wax on, the rotary brush meant less elbow grease required and the high pressure nozzle washed it all away leaving a sparking dream machine behind. I have to say it was a little bit exciting using the pressure washer to wash the suds off, so I get the addiction that hubby has.

So far we can't fault the Ryobi RACPWS2. It works as needed and doesn't disappoint in the least.

Hubby needs supervision whilst using this – We purchased this pressure washer for $199, 11 months ago to replace a worn out cheaper one. It's a classic case of you get what you pay for, after several uses we have had no issues with it. Pro's Easy to assemble out of the box, fits standard clip type hose fittings. Included in the box were 2 different type pressure nozzles, rotary brush, detergent spray bottle (unsure why this is needed as the unit has an inbuilt detergent tank). It has wheels so its easier to move around and there's no need to carry. It packs up fairly compact for easy storage. It also comes with a 5 year warranty.

Cons I asked hubby what he doesn't like about it & he said there's nothing to dislike. He is seriously like a child let loose in a watermark when using it.

What I don't like is there is no blow dryer attachment so he can finish the windows properly...sigh.
