My active ve52 finally gave out on me after about 4 years so I upgraded to the 2.0

It started cavitating out of nowhere. I thought I had a leak but checked all my fittings and they were good.Dang that seemed short lived. My Ryobi going on 7+ years of car and household use…. Been waiting for it to die to have an excuse to upgrade.
Did it dy by accidentally jumping off of a high shelf?

I’m not sure what kind of setup you had in your previous PWer, but the Ryobi 1.8 needs an upgraded hose.It started cavitating out of nowhere. I thought I had a leak but checked all my fittings and they were good.
I was going to purchase the 1.8 gpm ryobi as a replacement but the next day I got a random check in the mail for a class action lawsuit from 2021 that covered more than half the cost of the 2.0
I actually used a little 1.2 gpm greenworks that I keep as a spare to finish washing my car and man can you notice a difference in the gpm immediately.
I was already running a 3/8" steel braided hose from my previous setup and will use that with the current pressure washer. Active actually recommends using a steel braided hose on their 2.0 unit as the uberflex style hose causes issues with their pump for some reason.I’m not sure what kind of setup you had in your previous PWer, but the Ryobi 1.8 needs an upgraded hose.
I bought an Uberflex 3/8” off NorthernTool.com for $62 shipped and it came with 2 male threaded ends. That was another $15 for the QC’s to fit. I also bought a new spray gun to try out that was $35 and then a cheap QC for the water hose for $30.
I’m in it about $275… I’m actually getting ready to walk out the door in a few minutes to test all of it out.
