I bought this at the beginning of the summer, same price. I find it useful for cleaning the side of the house and brick patios. When I pressure wash my car, it doesn't get all the dirt off the paint. I can gently rub my hand across the pressure washed paintwork and rub off a film of dirt. I haven't tried the 11" Surface Cleaner, so I can't vouch for how useful or effective that is. The hose is a pain because it's a semi-rigid reinforced hose that never fully straightens out, and you have to loop and hang from the handle because there's no reel to wind the hose onto.
I also have a 3 year old Stanley pressure washer. It's about as effective as this Ryobi, but it had plastic parts that broke when it tipped over. This Ryobi was much better because it was quite stable and didn't tip over when I yanked on the hose.
If it wasn't too late to return, I would return this Ryobi and stretch for a gasoline-powered washer.

Thanks for the mini review. The included surface cleaner with the ryobi looks the same as the greenworks which is well reviewed and cost about $30 versus the higher power $75 Briggs& Stratton. I find the "surface cleaner" helps with decks and cuts down the total effort-time by 50-75%. A few people use the greenworks(possibly ryobi)surface cleaner with up to a 3000psi 2+gpm pressure washer even though it lower rated for 2000psi. I prefer the lower pressure electrics for car washing myself. I don't want to blast paint off. Try a turbo nozzle with the your Ryobi. You can get one at store for about $15 at wallyworld. Works great on rims.
