Has anyone used one of these? I have a few tools that use the 40v Ryobi lithium and have a few batteries. I keep my boat at a boat storage and wash it down every day when I come in from my charters. The hoses there have plenty of volume but when more than one is washing down, it kills the pressure and my boat needs some pressure after a charter.

I have a electric washer but I dont have power close by and its just a pain to run cords. This idea would be nice if it actually worked.

Any of you sued one of these? Would be nice to blast my deck and fish box every so often

I use the Ryobi power scrubbers. The ones w/plexiglass cover over battery. I use them more than high pressure water. I have used the hand held 6ft underwater scrubbing hull, they’re water proof at that depth.

I have the ryobi handheld 18v. If you just need it for small spots like blood you missed and what not, I would recommend it.

For what you need those others would work also.

The pressure is definitely not like a normal pressure washer, but you can fill a 5 gallon bucket of water and I use it to pressure wash a balcony in a condo, clean my boat, clean my trailer, etc. It’s great for that light extra pressure work

Do you not connect a hose to them or do they draw from a bucket only?

Yup, I use that long handle from the deck. The hand held I’ve used 6-8ft below water scrubbing my bottom. I love it.

I actually forgot you can connect a hose to it because I never do that.

When I’m cleaning my boat or deep cleaning it I’ll just fill a bucket of water and use it from that and keep the hose as a hose.

I’ve never had any issues cleaning using a brush and a water hose.

But if you think you need more, I would think a battery powered washer would be just fine for that. But that’s just a guess, I have no experience.

Im in my boat with customers about 4 days a week. It gets totally trashed. Especially the floor. A brush will barely get that crud off. I have some starbright hull and deck cleaner that works OK but its still a struggle with a brush on a pole


What you using

A regular brush and some dish soap. Never had an issue cleaning a boat but I am not a guide. I was raised to clean a boat on each trip and that’s what I do.

I won a black and decker battery powered pressure washer a few years ago and it sucked. No pressure at all. But it was a super cheap product.

Highjack. What boat are you doing this in? A sailboat I’d assume, how big?

yea and electric power washer is great for what it does.... cleaning harder than the hose...... I would get a cheap knock off brand on and amazon deal.

But dont think it will take the place of a gas 4500psi washer to clean concrete efficiently.

I have both. use the electric mostly because its easy and small... when i do a big job the gas comes out.

Yep. Electric/battery operated garbage.

Good Luck

Somebody gave it to me brand new and after wasting time, I gave it to my garbage can.

After a 6 pack most guys probably piss harder and maybe even last longer. I was talking about the rotating brush.
It operates under water doesn’t shoot water out.
