Got rid of my Overpriced Karcher PW and bought a Cheap Ryobi & Upgraded it... way better setup!!

[fightnews]

I got the k5 with the hose reel and the Autogeek foam gun I couldn't be happier with it. 1 trick I use to run the hose through a rag with vinyl rubber cleaner/condition on it when rolling it up to put away. It keeps the hose supple so you can pull it out without holding the machine

It was a pain before I started doing that

Are the MTM spray guns rebranded Mosmetic?

Took Zach's advice and will be upgrading my electric PW set up with a new handle, fittings, and spray tips:



Can't wait to start using it!

Thanks for the info Zach!

FWIW: I have the same PW, use it multiple times a week, and I've never once had an issue with it. Some upgraded parts would be nice as that OEM hose is crap and tangles non stop, but I've never once batted an eye about using this PW while detailing and doing other things around the house.

Thanks, OP for putting this together. This setup works great. Going to upgrade my SG28 to the new SGS28 with the built in swivel.

Btw, I've been looking at this Ryobi PW. It is $20 cheaper than OP's unit. Ryobi 1,600-PSI 1.2-GPM Electric Pressure Washer-RY141612 - The Home Depot

Looks to be even more compact, without the soap tank, which we don't need. And I don't care about the hose or gun that comes with it. I'm curious if both units have the same internals.

Which MTM foam cannon would work best with this set up?

MTM Featherweight for low pressure, pressure washers?

As mentioned in the OP, I was using the MTM PF22 Foam Cannon. It works great with this setup. I'm sure any of their foam cannons would do just fine.
