Got a pair of these driving loafers in the Cognac colour and was surprised that they even knocked another 20% off at the checkout with free shipping.

I tried a pair of those on last week, 12 wasn't quite big enough and had no size 13
My old Karcher pressure washer kicked the bucket a couple weeks back so I picked up a Simoniz Platinum 1800 yesterday. It was on sale at Ctire for $200, regular $300.
I really wanted an Active 2.0, but they are priced at around $500. The Ryobi 1.8 (not 1800, different machines) is also well regarded in the car detailing community as it has good performance for less than $200, but its not available at Home Depot because of the current demand for it. The Simoniz has similar specs to the Ryobi, so hopefully it performs as well. I was looking for something that could put out 1.5-2.0 gpm at a pressure of 1000psi or so. This seems to be about the limits for 120V pressure washers. The Simoniz is rated at 2.0gpm at 1000psi (1800 max psi). A lot of pressure washers are rated at higher psi, but then the flow is pretty low, like 1.0-1.2 gpm. I was more interested in higher flow, and not interested in a gas version.

I have the 1,800 Ryobi, it the one you were trying to get. Bought it last year on sale and came with a free surface cleaner attachment. I've been really pleased with it. Had a Simoniz prior to that and it lasted a good 8+ years, but seemed like more of a pain in the butt as it was upright layout with a reel for the hose. Was always falling over and getting tangled. Much prefer the tool box shaped ones like mine and the one you bought.
Saw this pop up on sale at Costco, for anyone that might want to do their own oil changes but don't have the tools, this is a pretty good kit.

Looky what I got.
58cc, 20-inch bar, 3.22hp, $125 plus tax, came to $144
I've run less than a tank of fuel through it, but so far it's been good. Lots of power, starts when I don't accidentally turn the switch to OFF. Gonna use it and see how it goes...

I've considered buying one of those before, just seem like a great deal if you don't need a heavy duty saw. You'll have to let us know how it holds up.
