How to find Ryobi RPW170-G pressure washer accessories?

[Nintiblue]

 

 

I own a Ryobi Pressure Washer model RPW170-G.  I want to buy compatible accessories for it such as the concrete path spinning clearer and spinning brush cleaner attachment.  BUT it seems there are no such accessories.  Most of the other similar Ryobi Pressure Washers have these but their mean of attaching are “bayonet” style while the RPW170-G is a threaded style.  Are there thread to bayonet adapters or have I just bought a limited Lemon of a Product?

Hello @Nintiblue 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your Ryobi pressure washer.

It sounds like you're trying to find some compatible accessories for your Ryobi RPW170-G pressure washer, but since it uses a threaded connection instead of the bayonet style, there aren't many options available. Ryobi Australia doesn’t currently offer an adapter to convert the thread to a bayonet fitting, so you might be limited in terms of accessory compatibility.

I propose reaching out to Ryobi customer support (1300 697 962) or pop into your local Bunnings store to ask about any compatible attachments for your specific model. The team there might be able to point you toward suitable alternatives or share any upcoming solutions.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi and Thank you Eric for replying.

Yes, I did go into Bunnings but no luck.  Has anyone found a 3rd party thread to bayonet pressure washer adapter on the market that fits my Ryobi Pressure Washer model RPW170-G?

Cheers

Hi @Nintiblue,

Unfortunately, as this is a discontinued line, there are no compatible accessories currently being produced by Ryobi.

There may be adapters on the market, but you should be aware that Ryobi doesn't recommend using non-genuine parts with their tools. If you chose to do so, you would do so at your own risk.

You may need to consider replacing the tool with one that comes with a surface cleaner such as the Karcher K2 Power Control High Pressure Washer And Home Kit or the Gerni 3600 1810PSI 1500W High Pressure Washer.

I'm sorry I couldn't be more assistance.

Hi Jacob,

Ah, it's a discontinued line.  OK that explains a lot sadly.   I think I saw some adapters, third party I may explore first.

Great comment Ninitiblue.  I am in the same boat.

Trying to find a threaded "male end" that will permit  a connection to a bayonet style.

One needs to wise up when products go on special then disappear from the shelves.

Bunnings are none the wiser as these companies don't tell them also that they are changing the end and fittings.

WHY DON'T all these competitors go for standard fittings?  The economies of scale would make their product a standout item!!
