Small (but good quality) electric pressure washer

Dang. Missed yesterday's Tool & Garden Woot! The Black Max (Ryobi) 1700 was just $99 (refurb).

This is the one I am getting. I currently have the Greenworks 1500psi from Lowes. I've had it for just over a year and it started turning on the compressor when I'm not pulling the trigger. I think it is losing pressure (perhaps a leak... will determine this weekend) and it runs the motor for a second or two. It does this constantly when I'm not pulling the trigger. Annoying.

Anyway, the Ryobi looks nice. I've had good service from other Ryobi products, so I'm hopeful this one is no different.

I bought the AR 1600psi when I opened my shop.
It's used daily, not once did it fail me.
So far so good.
Can't beat the price for what you get on this one.

Took your advice and ended up getting one myself…. so far I love the thing.

The ONLY thing I'm potentially worried about is breaking the blue/clear plastic Quick Connect hose fittings that comes with the unit.

I've been shopping around looking for some brass QC fittings that could replace these but can't find anything anywhere.

Here are the AR Blue Clean 112 QC pieces I would like to swap out for brass fittings.
 
I started a thread a few days ago and did a ton of research on electrics and gas PWs. I just could not pick an electric with a good conscience and I wanted one bad. I just hate returning things, but Karcher looked like the best company to deal with on returns and came within a hair of buying one until I googled Karcher and came across 10 straight reviews saying how much trouble buyers had with their Karchers. Good luck and please post a review after a year of hard use. I still may buy one even though I bought a gas PW. The electric would be so much easier to use.
