I think you should have went with a 4.0 orifice instead of 3.5. You'll lose a bit of pressure, but still should have enough, and you'll get more GPM.

I wasn't sure how a 3/8" hose would effect performance, though I guess the longer hose could have an effect too, but that's beyond my knowledge. With a 50' hose there really is no need to move it around. I set mine just outside the garage door and have more then enough length to go around my full size truck.
    Yes with 50 feet, unless you are washing a large truck, you have plenty of hose to go around the car without moving the pressure washer. On large commercial vans or bigger, you will need to move the pw though in most cases.

    Re: Reliable Electric pressure washers

    AR Blue 2in1 PW seems like a good versitale PW. 2050psi and 1.4gpm I think it was. Saw some good prices on it too around 250$. TTS it has also and goes on a 14amp fuse.

    Re: Reliable Electric pressure washers

    Anyone have experience with REALM Pressure Washers, which appear to be exclusively sold via Home Depot? Some have some pretty decent reviews (on Home Depot's site). The one in particular that i'm looking at is their new 2600 PSI, 1.75 GPM, 14.5 Amp Electric. From all the research i've been doing lately, the specs might be a little too good to be true for the price point, possibly getting into exaggerated claims territory like I've heard about certain other PW brands. It's somewhat abnormal to see a high PSI AND decent flow rate for an electric, especially in this price range. Thanks in advance. I was looking at the AR Blue 2N1, but it seems it doesn't even reach it's claims based on a few videos i've seen. I'm currently sitting on the Ryobi 1800 / 2.1 as my first choice (along with hose/gun/wand updates).

    Re: Reliable Electric pressure washers

    No experience and looks like other Chinese models sold on eBay. That being said I like that it has an induction motor. Has TSS (trigger on/off). Good amperage. I have e 2300 watt ryobi and it cuts power and sound when trigger not pulled but doesn’t shut all the way off. The gpm’s I believe are 1.2 not 2.1. Mine has same gpm and fine for pressure washing cars, decks, driveways not so good for tall houses but not sure any electric would be. I wish it had TSS but other than having to turn off/on it works great. Used about 20 times l, upgraded to snubnose gun,Quick connects, and ryobi kinkless hose. If don mind spending more I’ve been looking at AR 767. From what I’ve read so far (not much). Looks to be like the 630TSS but in a cart model seems to have a lot if not the same components

    Also as someone stated above sun joe has a commercial washer 1800 psi and 1.6 gsm. Doesn’t have TSS and some complain of not playing well with after market hoses and guns.
