I have been using a little Karcher at the house which has served its purpose but it was time for a renew. This little Ozito was very cost effective… Read more

at only $99 at Bunnings. I set it up and used it for around an hour straight. Its grunty enough and was as good as, if not slightly better than the Karcher. This was a first use and as I have a lot more blasting to do I will keep this review updated. Just an update. I have used the new Ozito for another hour or so and have encountered no issues. I have noted it is somewhat gruntier than my old Karcher. As my Karcher is still working, albeit spasmodically, I will do a comparison.

I recently received the Karcher K4, and I am absolutely thrilled with its performance. Having previously used the K3, the K4 is a massive step up in… Read more

every single department.

Build Quality: The overall build quality is significantly better. It feels much more robust, sturdy, and well-engineered compared to the previous model.

Power & Pressure: The cleaning pressure is significantly better. It tackles dirt and grime with ease, making outdoor cleaning tasks much faster and more efficient.

Noise Level: Remarkably, despite being a much more powerful machine, the noise level is noticeably lower than the K3. It runs much quieter, which makes using it a far more pleasant experience.

I am incredibly happy with this purchase and highly recommend the K4 to anyone looking for a reliable, high-performing pressure washer!

In our first run with the Karcher we were utterly impressed. We have a dingy garage wall that has year of ‘who knows what’ filth, dust, cobwebs,… Read more

construction dust etc etc. The Karcher easily cleaned it up, and tough spots disappeared with a touch of the scrub brush.

It was really easy to use, and the attachments easy to swap on and off. It’s also super light and surprisingly quiet, making big jobs much more bearable. Having used other clunkier pressure washers in the past, the vibrations and noise was awful. This is a remarkable difference!

And one other thing worth a mention - it’s powerful yet super compact. We’re in a small space and storage is at a premium. We have to think about what tools get a spot nd this definitely earns its keep.

Recently purchased a K7 Compact pressure washer. My previous pressure washer was a Gerni "Compact" that expired after 20 plus years of good service… Read more

together with an occasional repair. After using the K7 for the first time on a concrete block wall, I had some reservations when I compared its performance to the Gerni. Initially, I noted that one of the delivery wands did not have the impact I was expecting. The "blade" of the water was wider than the Gerni but appeared to have less grunt. However, I found the wider blade of water was more effective when adopting a slower pass. The result is the K7 is actually quicker than the Gerni. To my surprise, the other wand supplied was ruthless in its destruction of grime, dirt, discolouration and removal of lichens etc. It was so effective in fact that the wall top coping (which is a softer concrete compared to the face) had a layer of concrete blasted away. So, I reverted to using the wider blade for the coping and the "swirling" blade for the face. I have to say, that I was delighted in the end with its performance and effectiveness. The true test will be how long (in terms of years), it will perform. I remain hopeful it will endure many years of hassle free performance. Highly recommended with an A+++

when I moved into town 10 years ago it still sees regular use on paths and drives. I've changed the oil about twice. Never had to pull the pump apart. It just runs.

The original gun and hose wore out about 8 years ago and have been replaced but the basic unit is as good today as when I bought it. I used it since day one with a spinning turbo head which does everything I need.

and a decent warranty period. I looked at a few manufacturers and with a vast array of differant PSI values. I live in SE Queensland, warm & humid, and yes mould rears its ugly head on concrete and exterior surfaces here. So whatever i purchased had to come with a decent power head. The 7300 ticked the boxes. It has a good array of tools, great psi pressure and its quiet, so does not annoy the neighbours. The power patio cleaner works a treat. With the dirt hammer nozzles being the bees knees for cleaning your driveway and exterior paths. One tip i will give is pre spray chlorine first on any concrete surfaces to break up the grime, it will save you time and water. I can clean my 80 sq mt exposed agg driveway in about 2 hours, that includes pre spraying with chlorine. If you going to buy a pressure cleaner then put this one on your list.

All You Need To Clean Up Around The House – This pressure washer comes with several different attachments for a vast array of jobs. Obviously the (very powerful) pump itself is easily enough… Read more

pressure to get through any job. Mould on the concrete - gone. Oil & grease on the BBQ - gone. 4WD'ing in the mud - gone.

The in-handle storage of the hose is damn handy, although you do have to disconnect the hose from either the handle or the pump (or both) to do it. Luckily, connecting and disconnecting the hose is a piece of cake.

The variable spray head is probably the one I have used the most because it can be adjusted to suit most applications. If you have some incredibly tough mess to clean up there is the 'turbo lance' but I imagine it may do some serious damage if you were too aggressive with it.

I did try out the patio cleaner head and while it does a quick clean up (it definitely makes a difference), I ended up switching to the variable head for a better clean. What really surprised me were the attachments for the car - I've used foam cannons from both Meguires and Karcher and while they were both good, this is GREAT. Such a good thick, even coat of foam - better than I have ever seen. After that, I used the rotary brush for some manual agitation, and it quickly and thoroughly cleaned up the paintwork

For $300, this thing will clean up almost anything around the house

Game changer for the Artificial Turf and car – I can attest to Debbie C's review that hubby is like a kid let loose in a water park when using this. Since buying it he's spent hours outside and… Read more

all our old and tired possessions are like new again.

The main reason we purchased it was for the Artificial Turf in our courtyard. After the rains of 2022 it was barely visible under the dirt and moss, and we had no idea how to save it. The Ryobi turned it back to looking like a freshly mown real lawn, washing the moss, mud & weeds down the drain & turning our retaining wall back to something resembling timber.

Purchased from Bunnings for $229 in 2023, it comes with 2 different type pressure nozzles, a rotary brush & detergent spray bottle. It's easy to move around while using as it has wheels, and connects with regular hose fittings.

It looks and feels like decent quality when using it, without any junky plastic parts that feel like they'll break in 6 months. It's also fairly easy to switch between accessories with my tiny lady-hands without me swearing like a trooper - something that isn't possible with many other household appliances!

Last week I went out to wash my car and hubby chased me down with the pressure washer & accessories. Having an older black car means washing it needs to be done quick so the suds don't dry and leave marks on the paint, and the Ryobi didn't disappoint.

The detergent spray bottle worked a dream to get the wash & wax on, the rotary brush meant less elbow grease required and the high pressure nozzle washed it all away leaving a sparking dream machine behind. I have to say it was a little bit exciting using the pressure washer to wash the suds off, so I get the addiction that hubby has.

So far we can't fault the Ryobi RACPWS2. It works as needed and doesn't disappoint in the least.

off the wand like a projectile. This hard plastic missile does amazing things for the paint and panel work of your car. Thankfully Stihl dealer fixed this under warranty. Fast forward to early 2023 with fortnightly use for cars and driveway cleaning in between, and the pump develops a leak. Stihl dealer investigates and pronounces it "too expensive to repair, just get another one." ??? Well I can’t let it rest there, surely it’s just an o ring. Turns out the pump main casing seal is ruptured and with a new design that seals a pump, motor and gearbox, that is filled with lubrication, all together with the same attaching bolts. Hence you cannot repair any component independently. Well done Stihl you truly have made a machine with built in obsolescence in mind. Don’t pay the price premium this brand once deserved.

Poor quality hose, incorrect fittings, and lack of accountability I purchased the JET-USA CX760 pressure washer. The unit seemed great. But… Read more

unfortunately, my experience has been extremely disappointing. From the start, the product came with the wrong female hose connector, which made it impossible to use straight out of the box. They gave me a $20.00 refund, and I had to go to Bunnings and search for the most appropriate female connector myself. To my surprise, I found the right one, as the one supplied was a mismatched connector so be aware of this.

Once I finally managed to get the unit working, things only got worse. After about 10–15 minutes of use, the high-pressure hose split in two areas simultaneously. The hose was not kinked, twisted, or in contact with the engine like they say, yet it still burst under pressure. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the supplied black hose is rated at only 3400 PSI, while the machine itself produces up to 4800 PSI, a clear mismatch. That means the hose provided is simply not compliant or suitable for the pressure output of this unit.

Edisons customer support insists that the hose must have come into contact with the hot motor. Even if that were the case, that should not have happened and still take that amount of heat without issues. In other words, what they are saying is that the black high-pressure hose is made of cheap plastic that will kink easily and melt or burn under normal use.

When I raised the issue with the support team, they maintained that the hose had melted due to contact with the motor, which was physically impossible given the hose’s position and the direction of the damage (Look at the photos). I even reconnected the hose and tested the positioning myself — there’s no way it could have touched the engine. Despite clear photographic evidence and technical logic, the company refused to acknowledge this as a manufacturer’s fault and told me it wasn’t covered by warranty. If the hose had contacted the hot motor or exhaust causing such damage then this is not accidental damage as they said, but a design and quality issue.

In short: • Supplied with wrong hose connector — not usable out of the box. • Flimsy, under-rated hose that cannot handle the unit’s pressure. • Cheap plastic material that can kink, melt, or burst easily. • Poor customer support unwilling to take responsibility or investigate properly. • Misleading component compatibility — a potential safety risk if the hose bursts.

Although the pressure unit looks and seems to work great. Customers should be extremely cautious when buying this product.

Ryobi 2030 psi pressure cleaner (model RACPWS6) Replaced my 6-year-old Gerni cleaner with this unit. The Gerni was good but the Ryobi looked to be… Read more

the better unit at this price point and the difference for me was the ability to use multiple pressure nozzles as the lance uses std. ¼ inch fittings. Various size pressure nozzles are readily available and relatively cheap – the Ryobi comes with a std. 15-degree nozzle and a rotating turbo nozzle, along with a foam sprayer for cleaning and car washing etc. and a rotary surface cleaner for use on concrete and paved floors.

The cleaner is rated at max. pressure 2030 PSI (rated pressure 1450 PSI). It is difficult to compare pressure washers on the pressure rating advertised. For example, this pressure washer advertises 2030 PSI pressure but that might be with a zero-degree small nozzle, real world rated pressure is 1450 PSI, which puts this cleaner in the place of capable of cleaning concrete and decking surfaces and usable for washing the car, at the same time being careful with the distance from the car. If you have bigger requirements for pressure you may need to look further.

Similarly, the machine is rated at 7 L/m max. flow but the rated flow is 6 L/m. You need to dig around for this information, the manufacturers will advertise the machine as the highest possible rating, not what it runs at in average operating situation.

The motor is 1800w and has enough power to run the pump, the noise level is around 87db and as is typical with these cleaners, a noisy clunking sound emits when the trigger is released. The power cord supplied is 5 metres long.

The cleaner comes compact as a kit in the box and some assembly is required – you do not need to be technically minded to assemble it, it is easy just by following the step-by-step instructions in the manual. The body of the machine is solid plastic, but I have to say that the handle and the hose reel are “soft” plasticky feel and does not seem all that robust, time will tell. The plastic cable reel is good, and needs some assistance to wind in the 7-metre hose. The pressure hose is ok, tangling when in use not a big issue. The 7-metre length is standard. The water inlet connector is hard plastic, not metal, we will see how that goes.

The weight of the cleaner is around 8kg which is good for mobility and moving it, but it does also have wheels on the base to transport it around. The lance is good with lockout on the trigger and the fitting of the hose and nozzles etc. is good with strong connection. The lance has a lock lever on the handle to prevent it turning as well. Clicking the hose into the front of the machine is good and the slide lock works in the right direction so you can pull the lever and disconnect with one hand easily.

Using the machine is very easy, and I have tested out the capability on rough concrete floor, rendered walls and exposed aggregate concrete floor with the surface cleaner and pool glass fencing. The cleaner does a pretty good job on all surfaces and the power is adequate for most jobs. The surface cleaner did a good job on aggregate concrete surface in the patio, but my aggregate is ground smooth, so not sure how the surface cleaner would good on rough exposed aggregate.

My only small gripe about the lance is that as a taller person, it is a little bit short – could have been about 50mm – 75mm longer. It is possible to buy some aftermarket lance extensions with std ¼ inch fittings. Ryobi sell a backwards compatible lance and adapter kit for extra reach.

All in all, a very good cleaner and good quality at this price point, and comes with std. 4-year warranty with additional 2 years extension if you register with Ryobi online, which is easy to do. If you have a lot of Ryobi tools you may already have them in your online Ryobi toolkit which makes it all very easy to manage and maintain.

Despite some little gripes, and opportunity to make a couple of improvements, this pressure washer is very good for what it aims at, versatile and capable of medium to heavy cleaning jobs, without overtaxing the budget. PROS: Compact cleaner, easy to transport around at 7.8kg; Good pressure and versatile for a range of applications; ¼ inch fittings are good – easy to buy extra nozzles and fittings after market; All connections snap and lock and feel secure.; The slide lock lever on front of the machine is just pushing action to engage pressure hose and one-handed operation on the slide lever to remove it; 1800-watt motor gives plenty of power to run the machine; Hose reel on top of machine is good to wind up the hose; The 15 ° nozzle, turbo nozzle, surface cleaner, and foaming attachment are good to get you started; 6-year warranty is good (4 years + 2 when you register on line with Ryobi)

CONS: Handle is a bit plasticky, but expected in consumer grade product to keep the cost down; The lance could be 50mm – 75mm longer, but apparently adapter kit is available to increase length;

This water pressure cleaner ticks all the boxes for me. It works well like my other 2 pressure cleaners (Karcher Winner 10 & Gerni Classic 114.2).… Read more

This Kincrome pressure cleaner looks better with the blue & black two-tone mix compare to other cleaners. I looks solid, and apparently Kincrome has quite a bit of confidence into it's durability, as they are offering 5 years of warranty (2 after registering).

I got myself this Kincrome pressure cleaner in a "second attempt", after first trying my luck with the smaller Kincrome model K16261, but when testing it at home, I found the power-output to be lacking behind all the rest. Supercheap made it easy to swap over to this bigger model (K16262) - thus I did that, just paying for the price-difference (both were on special ($135 vs. $200)).

I attached a picture of the difference in results when cleaning my driveway with K16261 vs. K16262.

Based upon Kincrome's own max. pressure data for both cleaners, the bigger one is 12.5% more powerful. That was apparently all it needed.

I reckon, the smaller one (K16261) should be discontinued and the cost-saving created by reducing this model range should be used to reduce the sales-price of the bigger cleaner (K16262).
