Pressure washer-various uses (ideas?)

[Daviddear30]

I am getting a ryobi electric 1700 psi PW in a week or two.
I am mainly getting it for car detailing and foam cannon use.

Other than car exteriors and carpet mats what other things do you all use them for?

Detailing and non detailing. Looking for ideas on how to best utilize this tool.
Thanks to all that read and contribute. Hoping for some cool ideas :-) Feed back please

if you want to save about around $20, sams club has the blackmax version which is the same thing just re-branded...

My other main use is cleaning concrete\brick. Being in Georgia, it gets mildewy in a hurry - pressure washer is the easiest, most effective way to clean things up.

I have a 100 foot hose and use it (along with the special nozzle) for drain cleaning.

Have not had to call a plumber in years. And I have a lot of roots affecting my sewer lines.

Patio furniture, concrete cleaning (although, not sure how well an electric would work), vinyl siding, awnings, fences (PVC or wood), cleaning gutters?, exterior house windows (be careful). I've also used mine to clean off old grills... I dont use it on my new one, because I love it too much, and am willing to take a lot of time to clean it.

Thanks for the tips so far!

This model is great. I picked it up as I do not want to used a gas washer where I am.
It is low on pressure compared to some other models out there BUT it has a 3 year warranty, uses standard pressure washer tips (loads of tips available) and a sturdy frame around the motor it self.

My landscaper uses a gas one to clean my driveway each year. Looks like brand new concrete after. But electric wouldn't be strong enough.

My electric cleans pavement just fine. It may not do it as fast, but it works.

Well, I suppose thats what I meant. 1700 will work but 2900 will be much faster. And probably less water being used overall.

any of you all use a pressure washer with soft pressure for detailing (soap/rinse)?

[bugeye]

Use for cleaning house window screens, plastic panels for drop ceiling lights, lawn mower with care around any electrical and fuel.

All these mentioned uses are great. I've also used it to PW roofs (tile and tar paper), clear gutters, clean stucco siding and windows.

I use it to wash my mountain bike.

Soft pressure? Not sure what you mean. I use mine with the 40 degree tip for vehicles - works beautifully, especially with a foam cannon.

As to being slow for concrete, it isn't at all. Is it as fast as a 3,300 PSI gas washer? Nope. Is it quiet, simpler to use, and less to go wrong? Yep.
