I had the original grandfalls pressure washer. The interior garden hose burst within 5 minutes of turning it on. Very cheaply made. But their customer service replaced it relatively quickly. I used it for about a year until i got the Active 2.0 and its worlds better. Adams has an upgraded kit with the 2.0 , 60' braided hose, stubby with swivel, and a foam cannon. Its a great deal.

@stephenlouden480 Жыл бұрын
900 to 1200 psi is the detailing standard. this can be achieved with 3.0 or 3.5 tips. using these on any budget washer should get you the best output regardless of which unit you use. I use either one they are great. I do however also use a gas washer sometimes and I use a 6.0 tip to drop the pressure from over 2300psi down to 1500 and increase flow to 2.8 gpm. it's night and day going from a electric washer to a gas one. cleaning and rinsing in 2 3 minutes. only way in going v back to electric is when I use my Northstar electric 20 amp unit that is servicable and gets 2.4 gpm at 1300 psi but at 1300$ I only use that one in a while. it's easy better than a Kranzle as you can adjust pressure to 2600 psi at 1.3 gpm

@viperrcr Жыл бұрын
Exactly that. The motor/pump is rated for 100 hours of use. After that, they can die. Some people, that will get you a year, (typical for pro detailers) some people a multiple years (DIY detailer or yard maintenance). Depends how much you use it. Be sure you store it properly when it is not in use and you can get the most longevity out of it such as draining your hose completely after it is turned off and (especially if you live up north) putting a little "pressure washer saver" through it to winterize it during the winter storage months. Hope that helps!

I was also in the market for a pressure washer for my garage upgrade as well. I saw OG's review on it and it almost changed my mind but I still went with the giraffe plus model. The guy uses two Kranzle units in line - I won't be taking advice about budget unit from him. Nothing else on the market offers the same value at that price point not even the active. I'm satisfied with mine so far. It is not a power horse but it is ok for the use around the house. I do have a gas powered one I picked up from market place for about 50 bucks that I can bring out if I need more heavy duty.

One thing to note is this is in reality a good bit cheaper than the Active 2.0. Active 2.0 is certainly a better PW but the Active you are pretty much paying MSRP and that's that. This Grandfalls unit seems to go on sale and/or be available well under MSRP, so in reality you're paying over $100 less and don't have to buy a hose reel, etc. I think if you're using it professionally/commercially then absolutely the Active is a much better buy and the extra money is peanuts in that case--will be made back very quickly. But, for the average homeowner/DIYer use, the Grandfalls offers a lot of value and convenience with the wall-mountability.
