Great to hear!

Hey, had any problems with the unit? I was looking at getting the older unit but it seems there are problems

You can’t go wrong with the active. The performance is on par with machines that are way more expensive

I’m exclusively rinseless as well but I still pre rinse vehicles before washing with a rinseless product. Makes it a lot easier (and a little safer)

what does rinseless mean

@@raiuwu products that you mix with water and just wipe the vehicle down (I use the black sponge from rag company). Tons of videos on youtube, original most popular chemical is still Optimum No Rinse (ONR)

Haha yea this is a great unit for home use!

Will do! For performance of psi/gpm at a budget price the active still can’t be beat! But these are great for an easy wall mount solution

Yeah it’s good to know what numbers you should realistically expect! The all in one featured of this one are awesome

Can this be used not mounted as a mobile detail

@@dieselbeastgamerkushgod7784I don’t see why not…as long as it’s on the frame. Something came to mind, if mounted for mobile wash, I would retracted slowly, so the backlash is not as strong. If that makes any sense

what did you end up with? gonna decide between the two tomorrow for Black Friday.

@@KZfaqAnthonywhat did end up with?

@@juanagostotorres5277active 2.0 it’s unreal. Then I got all attachments he recommended. That blue hose, mjjc 3.0 foam cannon, active short gun, and all the quick disconnect nozzles. Truly amazing set up. It was pricey getting everything but now I save so much in my car detailing by doing it my self! Plus comes out amazing.

I got mine for $195 on prime day 🎉

Lmao for an electric pressure washer? Lol sounds fucking outrageous. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l5img8iLs7PMl6s.htmlsi=TBMRwjpJFdQGp6KS

The active is a fantastic choice! The price to performance is the best I’ve found.

@@imjoshv thanks!

You beat me with the Active Gun haha, I got mine in the mail and later that day your video went up

@@imjoshv You make great videos we usually have the same opinions.

Thanks!

Thanks Mike!

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

Thanks 😁

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!

@@viperrcr thank you much much

220 would get much better numbers with psi and gpm

I don’t know unfortunately. I have it mounted at my house now and since it’s on a reel I think the flexibility of the hose is good enough and I haven’t tried to switch it. I’ll try and open it up one of these days and see what the connection point looks like

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.

Oh man that’s a bummer. Yea I didn’t check but I don’t think the hose is replaceable on this one either. The plus+ and the pro have replaceable hoses but I’m not sure on this one

@@imjoshv The good news is that I saw they said they have a 24 month warranty, so I will definitely be getting in touch with them!

Yeah i did a video some of them but I just picked up the new edgless towels and will be doing a video on that soon!

@imjoshv nice, i picked those up along with the new xxl ultimate drying towel. Looking forward to the review!

Hey John! A 1.1mm orifice is equivelant to about a 3.0 nozzle. So the numbers should be about 1200 @ 1.6 or so...

@@imjoshv sounds good. I ordered it today!

Yea I’m not sure if this one is replaceable or not for sure. The plus+ and the pro are but this one doesn’t look like it

From some of the research I have done, you are correct, the hose is not replaceable.

As long as you can sort out the moutning plate. Again this is a residential grade so if youre using it daily keep in mind the 100 hour rating. But as far as performance, its good enough for sure and the 65' hose is great

Good idea

It’s 3 months now… Have you figured out a way to replace the hose with maybe an Uber flex?

You bet, its the one from MTM - www.mtmhydroparts.com/products/mtm-hydro-5k-ss-gauge-kit-43-5021

You will be fine with using an extension cord. But make sure it is at least 14 gauge, preferably 12 gauge.

@@claybirdyshaw5737 Thanks for the info.

@@archiepezek Yea thats what I would recommend as well! 12. gauge and you shouldnt have any issues

@@imjoshv Thanks Josh.

i couldnt find a definitive answer on their site.. The Plus+ and the Pro show the hose can be replaced but this one im not sure

From some of the research I have done, it shows that this model hose is not replaceable.

Ouch

Depends on your usage. For car washing and tasks around the house an electric pressure washer is sufficient. However, if you want to clean tougher buildup on long driveways and walkways then you will be better off with a gas one. For the general consumer an electric pressure washer is the way to go. Hope it answers your questions :)

Thanks! I think it does! If I wanted to do both, would gas be too much psi for car paint?

@@ChrisMenard The pump on a gas pressure washer usually comes with an unloader valve that allows you to dial up or down the pressure. Just make sure you get one that comes equipped with a pressure gauge or you can buy one separately and install in series along your pressure washing loop,. This will allow you to verify how much pressure you are dealing with before working on a car.

Like others said, for detailing electric is great! You don’t have to deal with the noise or fluids! But with gas it does give the option to dial it back for cars and then you have more power if you need to do a driveway or something much faster. The best performance from an electric pressure washer that ive found at a good price is the Active brand pressure washers

I don’t mean for it to come off like an ad. It’s just a review showing the usable performance of these types of machines so people know what to expect. Especially since the ratings are always way off from what the actually produce. I have always focused on budget options for people and how they can get the most performance on a budget. I never take money from brands to promote their products in the pressure washing/detailing space. Just trying to share items I find that people may enjoy!

If you don't care about warranty or are outside of it, it opens up easy. It's just a plastic housing around the outside of a normal pressure washer, nothing proprietary so you can just order what you need and then seal it back up.

@@SomeoneStoleMyHandlehow would you determine the correct motor to replace it with?

@@mickeymallette2663 If you would just like to replace what's already there, just look at the case of the motor and search for the part number that's printed on there. If that motor is unavailable or you otherwise want to go with a different motor you will need to measure for output shaft length and diameter; length, width, and height clearance for the motor case; be in the ballpark of the original RPM with the new motor and ideally match the OEM mounting solution, but that isn't all that important if you are capable of fabricating an adapter.

​@@SomeoneStoleMyHandlethat got real, real quick, lmao, I think I'll go for kranzel for repairability since they're made for it, lol, other than that, I plan on going ryobi for a season, active 2.0 for a season, then kranzel indefinitely with the Active as a backup

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.

It literally just hangs on like a picture frame to the bracket and it isn't heavy. If you need to move it around, I don't see why you can't. You can even get additional brackets to but in your favourite spots.
