Which is better for washing a car?

The Westinghouse. Its foam cannon and soap tank make pre-soak easy, and at 17.6 lbs it is easier to move around the car. The Ryobi's soap nozzle works but gives you less control over foam.

Which is better for a long driveway or deck?

The Ryobi. Its 25 ft hose and wheels save you from carrying the unit, and the roll cage survives being dragged. The Westinghouse has a 20 ft hose and no wheels.

Is the Ryobi worth $70 more?

Only if portability over distance matters. The Westinghouse matches or beats it on pressure, flow and features for $129. You pay the extra for the frame, wheels and longer hose.

Neither is clearly ahead. Both use axial pumps, which suit occasional residential use. The Westinghouse adds a Total Stop System that shuts the pump off when you release the trigger, which can extend pump life.

Do both come with nozzles?

Yes. The Ryobi includes 15°, turbo and soap nozzles. The Westinghouse includes 15°, 25° and turbo tips plus a foam cannon.

Can either handle a wood deck?

Yes, with care. The Ryobi lists decks among its surfaces. Keep both on a wide tip and keep the nozzle moving so you do not gouge the wood.
