I'm ditching my pressure washer for Ryobi's new portable power cleaner

Ryobi makes a little bit of everything, and it's part of the reason many DIYers and homeowners choose them over the competition.Sure, you probably have a Ryobi drill, impact driver, and maybe a sawzall, but the next tool you might want to buy is this new portable power cleaner that can replace your pressure washer.In the last 6 months, Ryobi has slowly released dozens of new tools and accessories, like its 3-port lithium charger and a customizable DIY workbench, and it isn't slowing down anytime soon.

More are coming this fall, but the one I'm looking to buy came out last month, and here's what you need to know.Ryobi's new 700 PSI Power Cleaner Like a pressure washer, but small, powerful, and portable Close Imagine having a pressure washer that you didn't have to connect to a hose and a power outlet? A device that's portable enough that you could take camping, easily carry it to the backyard, or out to hard-to-reach areas of your property.That's exactly what you get from this tool, and it's why I want one.

I'm talking about the new and improved 18V ONE+ Quick-Connect Power Cleaner, which is essentially a small pressure washer of sorts.Announced in June and released over the summer, it's one of the company's most powerful handheld cleaning products yet.I mainly want one for convenience, and while it's already affordable at $129 at Home Depot, once it goes on sale, I'll be snagging one.

The thought of having 700 PSI of cleaning pressure in a small, lightweight, easy-to-use portable handheld tool sounds great.The new Quick-Connect Power Cleaner runs on your usual 18V ONE+ battery, but what makes it unique is that it works with the garden hose, a water bottle, or you can even attach the included quick-connect hose and throw it in a 5-gallon bucket or your swimming pool and pull water from it.Any water source becomes your cleaning power.

If you don't have a hose nearby, that's fine.Find a 2-liter bottle full of water, or a bucket, connect the hose, snap in an 18V battery, and get to work.It even comes with a water-resistant battery enclosure to ensure your battery stays safe and sound.

As for specs, Ryobi says this portable, on-the-go cleaner can deliver over 700 PSI of pressure, 0.8 GPM (gallons per minute), and run for over 20 minutes, depending on which battery you use.All of that in a small tool that weighs under 5.5 lbs.In the box, the package includes a 20-ft.

siphon hose, a 2L bottle adapter for portable cleaning, and an extended-reach turbo pressure metal wand.You'll also get two nozzles (15° and 40°) for specific cleaning tasks, not to mention the 1/4-inch Quick-Connect tip, which is compatible with nozzles or attachments from most pressure washers on the market.Basically, it's a pressure washer, but smaller, easier to use, and portable.

I'm looking forward to using mine to wash the car, clean off my patio, spray down the BBQ after a summer of grilling, and, not to mention, clean and sanitize my garbage bins.Instead of unrolling the hose all the way to the curb to wash my car or garbage, I can use this all while saving water in the process.The options are endless, and that's what makes it such a neat little tool.

This is finally available at your nearby Home Depot, so go ahead and grab one from the link below.Additionally, if you own a bunch of 40V tools, Ryobi also has a more capable 40V model that delivers 1,000 PSI for a few dollars more.Ryobi 18V Quick-Connect Power Cleaner Get up to 700 PSI of pressure washer cleaning power anywhere with the 18V Cordless Power Cleaner from Ryobi.  See at Home Depot Expand Collapse Make cleaning easier than ever Ryobi is no stranger to cleaning products, but this latest Pressure Cleaner is better and stronger, delivering more pressure than any of its previous portable options.

Sure, you can get far more power from a dedicated pressure washer, but that's not always necessary, and convenience or portability make this as versatile as it gets.And the 40V version is even better.The company also sells a foaming cleaner for dirty jobs, along with several other accessories and cleaning products to go with it.
