    Lightbulb Pressure washer-various uses (ideas?)

    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 :-)

    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.

    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.
