I'm new to the pressure washing community. I recently bought this AR Blue Clean XWM2300 but I'm not happy with the product because when looking for longer pressure washing hoses, I realized that it uses an M22-15mm connection, which doesn't seem to be the industry standard. All the hoses I see on Amazon are M22-14mm.

So, I found the following Ryobi 1800:

The second link contains additional items, hence the higher price but why does it have 2 different wands? One regular wand and a metal one.

Also, how I know if the pressure washer hose is M22-14mm? I looked on the Ryobi's website but it doesn't state it anywhere. https://www.ryobitools.com/products/46396055583

My use case is mainly for cleaning my cars and maybe general household stuff.

I tried to meet a friend at Dupont Circle for coffee and I made in hindsight a poor decision to drive instead of taking a rideshare. I got there at 12:15PM and spent 20mins circling looking for parking but every time I saw what looked to be an open spot, there was either a fire hydrant or no parking sign. I eventually got tired and let him know that I'm leaving. It was super embarrassing and it comes across as me not being able to keep a commitment.

I live at the Wharf and I've never been to Dupont Circle so I wasn't expecting the sheer number of people there. There were tons of restaurants around so I assume it's a popular place to frequent.

Is this how it normally is or is there some special event taking place this weekend? Is there a better time to go (to make sure I find parking)? Or is it best to take rideshare or public transport?

I searched here to learn that Apple replaces the battery and housing but what what do they do with the SSDs? Will an Apple Certified refurbished iPad get a new logic board and thus SSD too? I'm specifically looking for an older M1/M2 gen 12.9 model with a mini-LED and I'm worried that a refurbished M1 or M2 unit may have an SSD that won't last long due to use for the last 5 years.
