Ryobi 1,600 Power Washer Reviews

Wondering what pressure washer to get for your DIY car-wash project? Ryobi has the perfect thing to offer: the Ryobi 1600 pressure washer. This washer is small, compact and lightweight, yet it gets the job done. In this article, we will review this machine, because, as a matter of fact, many people seem to like it. So hop on the trend and see what the fuss is all about.

• Design

The Ryobi pressure washer 1600 is an electric model. Although not as powerful as gas power washers, electric are forceful enough to blow years of dirt and stubborn grit away from your patio, or to get your car spotless in less than an hour. Electric pressure washers also require less maintenance since you don’t have to change the oil that often, and they do not require seasonale check-ups the way that gas pressure washers do.

Like the name suggests, this model has a 1,600 PSI, and a 1.2GPM. But what do these statistics mean?

PSI is short for Pounds per Square Inch, which measures strength of the water jet. GPM stands for Gallons per Minute, which measures how much water that goes through the hose. The GPM is a good way to approximate how quickly the washer can clean, and how efficient it is. In short, the higher the GPM, the more cars you can wash within an amount of time.

• Performance

The Ryobi 1600 psi 1.2 gpm electric pressure washer has a 25-feet hose, not exceedingly long compared to industrial washers, but it works. The hose is long enough to stretch along the length of a truck, plus another 25-feet cord to give you some more room. Since it is an electric model, you are necessarily tethered to a certain area around the outlet without being able to go too far. Yet, the Ryobi 1600 is only 19 pounds, so you can easily carry it without it being too heavy, but only for a short distance. This model does not have a wheel, so you also can’t drag it around.

• Nozzles

The Ryobi 1,600 psi electric comes with three interchangeable nozzles. The design is simple: you just need to pick the nozzle out from the head of the hose, then plug another in.

The three nozzles include a turbo nozzle, a 15-degree, and a soap nozzle. To help you distinguish their use:

The 15-degree nozzle is the angle that the spray is spread. 15-degree is fairly small, so expect the water jet to be very powerful. Just imagine blocking a hose with your hand versus not blocking it. The former will make the water come out stronger and increase its reach to a farther distance, because a smaller entry area increases the speed of water.

The turbo nozzle is also powerful. The turbo spins when it shoots water, which is to imitate the motion of a high degree nozzle to increase the speed of cleaning. With advancements, the turbo nozzle is supposed to increase the quality of cleaning by up to 50 percent.

The soap nozzle is the lowest degree nozzle. Simply open the lid of the detergent tank, then pour your soap in. Be cautious, though, that the ryobi 1,600 does not accept bleach as it might damage the engine.
