@@Fre3brd NICE! Yeah it’s fun to fire up. Make sure to empty the gas tank at the end of the session when you store it for winter. And after the tank is empty, run it to burn off the rest of remaining vapours and gas. From there you will have no troubles firing it up at the start of next season.
Yeah the strongest electric residential pressure washers out there do 3000psi "allegedly" but only at 1.0 gpm, the difference is significant. It takes me much longer to clean a deck with the electric one than the gas pressure washer, gpm makes all the difference.
It certainly does!!! For years I would borrow my dads electric only to find that I missed so many spots on the drive; felt like I wasted a day because the job did not get done right. After picking up the gas with more pressure and GPM, WOW, yeah I will never go back. I do love my electric for washing the cars though.
The exposed aggregate concrete? Used all the time here in BC. You pour your sidewalk or driveway and then come back a few hours later and then hose off the top layer.
This is my second season with it Kelly Just before the filming I realized I forgot to drain the old gas from last summer; it would start but then stall. So I emptied the tank and added new fresh fuel and it fired up with no problems. As noted in the video I am very happy with it. What nasty things have you seen in the other reviews?
Thank you G zy!!! The track used in this video is from the licensed CZcams Studio library; pretty cool song! I also use music from Artlist; artlist.io/Matt-4458803
I use standard regular 87 gas. I had a hard time firing it up this season as there was some fuel in it from the last season. Lesson learned, empty the fuel in fall and run it till it stalls out to clean out any remaining fuel.
I think so but check your owners manual. It will note what is acceptable in there. For the gas use itself, I have to fill my twice maybe when I do the front and back of the house.
Lol Jeffrey! I wanted to save that for another video ;) You can check out the video here; czcams.com/video/zN5Izw0fzjY/video.html Regardless the surface cleaner is a great tool to have. Thank you for checking out the video!
The cheapest pressure washer with a belt driven pump will outlast and outpreform the most expensive presser washer with a vertical-camshaft-powered pump.
Maybe if they came with a manual. In 4 tutorials we have found no real infornation or instructions . No more info than: water is wet and the sky is blue 10 years ago you tube tutorials contained real information &/or instructions. Nowadays everyone wants to be talking without having any real know how. And they call this the information age. HAH!

What kind of concrete is that? Looks awesome

Thanks for your opinion and video demo.I am ready to purchase but have read some nasty reviews on the 3100 which is holding me back
Try the 3300

Be careful - they arent worth buying. Rent instead.
Do you know what the warranty is on the pump? The pump is usually the first thing to go.
I'm guessing about a year but do check the packaging and online at HomeDepot.com or .ca. Good luck with the purchase!
Nice review! Who is that you are playing for background music!
Thank you G zy!!! The track used in this video is from the licensed CZcams Studio library; pretty cool song! I also use music from Artlist; artlist.io/Matt-4458803

what sort of fuel are you using for it? is it a waste of money to use 'recreational' fuel (no ethanol)
I use standard regular 87 gas. I had a hard time firing it up this season as there was some fuel in it from the last season. Lesson learned, empty the fuel in fall and run it till it stalls out to clean out any remaining fuel.
How long does it take to do your driveways?
Maybe an hour @britaniewagner4660. The key is to do it even year. When you skip a year, it likes 4 times the work to get it just right again.
I just bought the 2900 gas ryobi ...can i use 87 octane? Because i ve been using the True Fuel and its expensive
I think so but check your owners manual. It will note what is acceptable in there.
For the gas use itself, I have to fill my twice maybe when I do the front and back of the house.
use ethanol free
Good to know!!
You could have cut your driveway clening in 1/2 using the surface cleaner that you didn't demonstrate 😮

i have a brand new one and for some reason it just won’t start
Weird being for a new unit. Are you using old gas in it?

Good to know Channing. What pressure washer are you using these days?
"prsshworrsher"
