Even with a grab bag of helpful functions and stellar reviews, the 11-inch Water Broom from Ryobi is not without its shortcomings — quite literally. Along with its 11-inch broom path being considered too short by some to be useful for deep cleaning purposes, its lance is also especially short. People needing to pressure wash the undercarriage of their car may have to kneel or squat to get a full clean. As a result, some users have recommended to also get a lance extension for their water broom.
Similarly, depending on your intent, certain elements of the broom may need some adjusting. When pivoting upwards for undercarriage cleaning, the nozzles are pointed at a roughly 45-degree angle, which may irritate some who would rather have the water shooting straight up. YouTuber @JEFFIX came up with a solution to this dilemma. By drilling another hole under the undercarriage function that the straight pin goes into, the nozzles now assume a nearly 90-degree angle when pointed up. The user also removed the filter hidden inside the nozzle connecting to the pressure washer to strengthen the water flow.
