This Ryobi 3200 PSI pressure washer arrived in good shape and required only a minimal amount of assembly. Insert an axle pin thru each wheel and secure with a cotter pin, slide the handle into place and secure with two spring-loaded pins and install the hose carrier. Took all of 5 mins. The hose carrier has a nice feature, too…the included bungee strap that keeps the hose in place. No more fighting to keep the hose secured to the machine. I also like the large diameter wheels. It makes moving the machine over rougher terrain a breeze. And they’re solid wheels so no worry over them going flat. The pressure wand includes a nice 5-in-1 nozzle. Just rotate the nozzle to select the setting you’d like. The fit and finish of the machine is first rate. Everything looks good and fits together well. Prior to starting you’ll need to add engine oil (included!) and gasoline. You’ll need just about the entire bottle…but not quite. Leave just a little and check the dipstick. The machine includes a paper funnel but it’s pretty much useless. It’s probably best to use a long-neck funnel for the oil. The oil fill location is right behind the left wheel and it’s kind of difficult to access. It would be easier to remove the wheel when filling the oil but I didn’t. Just put most of the oil in and check it as you go. Once that’s done, add gas. The 196cc Kohler engine fired on the first pull. Make sure you connect your water supply and turn the water on prior to running the engine so as not to damage the pump. It includes an on-board tank to hold soap or your preferred cleaning solution. My only criticism of this machine is with the wand. It has a lockout lever to keep the wand from being activated. Why? It would be far more useful to have a lock that would allow the user to press the wand trigger and lock it into the “Spray” position.

I already own the less expensive electric Ryobi pressure washer and have had it for about 10 years with no problems so I’d be willing to bet this one will be the same way. I needed a more powerful one to reach higher on my house before painting. The only “problem” I had with the electric one is that people kept losing my nozzles. This version fixes that problem by making a single nozzle for all the different pressures. See the picture I attached. I love the round attachment for cleaning concrete. I guess you could use it for a lot of other things too but it seems the pressure is best for walkways. It was easy to assemble. You only need to attach a few things and it’s self explanatory. I didn’t even need the directions. You’ll need you own screwdriver and either a pair of pliers or socket set but I’m assuming anyone wanting a gas powered pressure washer is going to have those things. It took me about 15 minutes to assemble it and 30 to use it after adding oil and gas.
