I couldn't recommend the Active 2.0 enough when compared to the Kranzle. Really good value for the money. The only downside of the Active 2.0 is its weight when unmounted and it takes an extra 5 seconds for the pump to turn off when the trigger is released. The Kranzle is a guaranteed Rolls Royce. Let me know if you have any questions!

Very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I bought the Active 2.0 for proof of concept. Wanted to see if I liked pressure washing/foam cannon. I do, so now I'm in the market for AR or Kranzle. Did you consider the AR at any point? I realize they need a 20A receptacle as well, which I have covered. I have seen a few reviews from guys claiming to own both that say they end up using the AR more.

As a detailer for the last 30yrs, my go to unit is Kranzle 1122 which I have been using for about 25yrs..and it's still going. To me the more water output the better and faster you finish and no mater how powerful your pressure washer is or how much water it moves...you still have to put the wash mitt on the vehicle body, unless you're dusting it. So after yrs of detailing I have figured out one thing and that is using a pressure washer more that just foaming is a waste of time and energy because nothing moves more water that just using a garden hose with a quality sprayer, so why use a pressure washer if I can rinse the whole vehicle 3-10X faster than any pressure washer. Rinse off with a hose, foam with a descent pressure washer, rinse off with hose, foam again with pressure washer and wash mitt the car with 2 bucket system and rinse off with hose and dry with a leaf blower. I do my wife Mustang daily driver under 45min and my Model X under 20min. I use only Eley hose and sprayer products and Griot's foam cannon, with my 25yrs old Kranzle and dry with ego blower. if you're a mobile detailer, than yes buy 2 Active 2.0 just incase 1 fails. Thanx for the video and your time. Just wanted to get my 2 cents in...have a great day

@DasCayman 4 ай бұрын

This was really great feedback! Amazing your Kranzle is going strong after 25 years. That’s incredible. And yes there is no higher GPM than just water straight out of the hose.

@JadeaRS4 28 күн бұрын

Snow foam first.Never rinse off fist as you are diluting the snow snow and you are not allowing the foam to do it's job. And 2 bucket method is not great either. 10 mitts and 1 bucket. You can not get all the dirt off the mitt with grit guards... most but not all. Use a separate mitt for every part of the vehicle.

@aramcobratusa8963 13 күн бұрын

You should update the video. The 2.0 requires the wirebraded hose, which came with the unit. The correct hose eliminates the pulse and allows the instant stop. The 2.0 is rated for 200 hours and Active sells the stuff you need to change the oil and fix it if it breaks. You also need to be careful with the diameter of the orifice in the foam cannon and nozzles because if they're to small the motor can burn out from the increased amp draw. No matter what it's also a little louder. The Krenzle must have that 20amp circuit, changing the oil is way easier and the unit works with flexzilla type non wiremesh hoses. I think the Krenzla is therefore all around a little better unit but the question is do you think it's worth paying four times the price? Probably worth it if you use it to earn a living but probably not if you're washing a couple of cars or RVs on the weekends.

@iamsam8446 6 ай бұрын

Is it worth another tool/attachment to shut off the water flow to your rinse bucket? I just adjust the flow to a relatively low setting allowing me enough time to set up my other accessories. I don't think it's worth another tool for that. An considering the Kranzle is 4x the Active, I think the Active is good enough for an enthusiast.

great washes but I think Active would be like 250$ as it's still just a sealed discardable unit that must be replaced so I keep getting the Karch k1700 cube or Cryobi 1800 psi from home depot for 98$ with 2 year warranty included. in the end it doesn't matter. spend a grand on the kranzle that lasts 10 yrs. or get 10 Ryobis for 1000. but the Ryobi is easily swapped with warranty so you get 2 for 1 essentially. no doubt the Krazle is king but the Ryobi will clean your car the same. I run a Northstar electric unit at home. it was 749$ total stop I get 970psi at 2.2 gpm eith a 5.0 tip. regardless of what people think there are other washers of similar 0rice that give it a run for its $ for less cost
