Find out who actually makes it. Homelite is notoriously crap!

They do not sell them any longer. I think!

This I think is a new product, what interested me was the engine part of it, also the brass pistons and brass head pump. I don't do pressure washing for a living but I do the occasional deck and house cleaning so I don't need anything fancy.

Tonyeo, 2.7 gpm is really low. That's not to say you can't work with it at all but it is going to take you a long time to complete a project. More important than the machine is learning the right techniques and proper pressure limits. Please don't take this as a personal attack but we fix more damage created by handymen than is neccessary.

Just bought that very machine. I was tiold it was made/sold by Ryobi, but there is nothing in the manual or any of the papers about Ryobi. The engine is warrantied by Robin America, a division of Fuji Heavy Industries. Non engine warranty by Baja Motorsports. I also did not need the bells and whistles at this time, I liked the warranty ( hope it is good), and I have had a small Homelite chainsaw for years. It has been a good little saw. For $399 + tax, it will tell me if I want to know. Easiest thing to start I have ever had. Used it for the first time yesterday. When the compression stroke hits, it starts. Very easy pull. Not sure I like the wheels being front though. I do not know what kind of pump it has. That's another thing. I find a shroud over the pump to be kind of strange. Guess it has something to do with heat and the hose getting against it.

I'm pretty sure I have a job coming that will pay for this machine. MY old one konked out, and I knew this guy was wanting me to do his deck. It is a small deck. Hoping to get $2.00 per square foot for just the floor part washed and stained/sealed. If this is too far out of left field, I would appreciate someone telling me. It is only about 150 sq ft.

I had put him off because I thoughtI would check out Ken's new product. But since it delayed, I will have to wait to try it.

Tonyeo

Thanks Boman exactly the info I needed, I think I will pick one up, only $299 at Home Depot

This is the Homelite HP3127S. All I need right now. Keeping fingers crossed. I like the warranty and the pnuematic wheels. Not to fond of the wheels being in the front. The handle/tool trey spins down and around for storage.

According to this ebay ad this pw has an axical cam pump.

Boman I found out that it actually is a Ryobi RY80030

I just got one of these Homelite HP3127S machines. Does anyone know the dilution rate for the chemical injector? I don't find anything about it in the manual. Thanks, Don

Don Bouldrey

Update: I just found info on the Ryobi forum that indicates dilution rate for a RY80030 is 20:1 Edit: Scratch that. It's bad info. I tested it myself and it's 12:1

I bought several ryobi that looked very similar to that when I first started out

They where a total piece of
Both broke down and left me hanging on jobs

I purchased a honda 13 HP 4 gpm and she has never let me down since
