As others have said, pressure washer GPM has vastly more impact on nozzle cleaning force than PSI.

Typical $250-$400 pressure washers have pump service lives of at most a couple hundred hours before you've got to throw them away.

That's no big deal if like most consumers you only use the machine a few hours per year.

We use our pressure washer not only for cleaning vehicles, decks and a boat but also for cleaning gutters and sewer jetting clogged drains at multiple properties, so it was worth getting a commercial machine with a longer service life.

For example Home Depot sells a DeWalt machine with very similar GPM and PSI specs as a Ryobi machine. The DeWalt machine costs roughly 50% more, and you'd expect it to have a much longer pump service life.

A gutter cleaning pressure washer nozzle with offsetting side jets and a steel elbow that reaches down into the gutter trough is a great gadget BTW.

I found mine on the side of the road. Works great. Beats the hell out of me as to what kind it is.

Keep your eyes peeled. You might find one too.
