    Hey Keav, Thanks for this video. I have this same electric pressure washer that I purchased mainly to use for smaller jobs like cleaning the riding mower and both cars while I had bought a foam cannon on Amazon several months ago and never gave a thought how I was going to install it on this unit until watching you use the quick connect spray gun adapter. I like this unit for quick ease of operation while I have a gasoline engine power washer unit for cleaning larger jobs like the house and garage siding areas. 👍👍👍

    7:46 Hi, thank you for the video and for your tests. I found them very helpful. Just FYI, the pressure washer hose will need an M22 15mm (not 14 mm). I measured it with a caliper. The 14mm will leak.

    • @CarsWithKeav
      @CarsWithKeav  6 месяцев назад +2

      Looks like they have changed the pump or at least the exit since my review. I bought another one to build a best starter pressure washer kit and it was 15mm then and used an adapter to convert from 15mm m22 to 3/8 quick connect. (Sound changed for me as well so for sure a change of some sort.) When dealing with 15mm its always best to adapt to quick connect or convert down to 14mm as that gives you so many more options.

    • @CarsWithKeav
      @CarsWithKeav  9 месяцев назад +1

      Just a simple way to measure the gallons per minute. Start timer and pressure washer at the same time and stop at one minute. Amount of water in the bucket would be the average flow of gallons per minute. The higher the flow the better for rinsing off cars. As you increase the nozzle size it allows more water flow which is why I was using multiple sizes so buyers can decide which nozzle they need. When you increase water flow the pressure decreases so there is a sweet spot for the best cleaning power.

    • @CarsWithKeav
      @CarsWithKeav  2 года назад +1

      Some major factors to soap foam is your water quality and softness. For instance if I did everything the same and used water form the coat of Florida I would most likely get way less foam due to the hardness. Getting a better foam cannon does help you get the most foam out of the conditions you have.

    I looked at the prices for a new uber-flex hose, foam cannon, adapters, guns and such and nearly choked. The price of the attachments was way more than what I paid for the Portland. But after some mental grumbling I went ahead and shelled out the cash and all I can say is that the difference is night and day. I've since added quick connect adapters to all of my sprinklers and nozzles and my little cheap pressure washer does everything I need it to do.

      Not sure if Portland does, but I have not seen a pressure washer than somebody didn't have an issue with it. People have returned Kranzle and other high ends for similar issues. Manufacturing processes for this industry always have at least a 5% failure rate. I have had it for a few months now and used about 10 times with no issues.

      I think at least 1650 watts. It’s a 13 amp motor it says so converts to 1560 depending on the type of circuit. You could have spikes depending on nozzle size and other variables. Really safe would be to have 1800 which would deal with just about anything on a 15 AMP circuit. This is all based on 120 volts.

      You can use an extension cord with any pressure washer just needs to be a 12 gauge at the least. Most like to deter from using them because people like to use cheap extension cords that are not built for the length or amperage. You can use 14 gauge, but the extension cord must be under 50 feet. Over that you will for sure need a 12 gauge.

    • @CarsWithKeav

      The stock hose has a connection that will not work with any aftermarket Spray Gun. You would have to either use the stock gun with the short adapter and stock hose or get an aftermarket hose to go with the aftermarket spray gun and foam cannon.

    How you get so much foam? I changed to 1.1 orifice and tried two different foam guns and it’s still not foamy. I’m using the Adams car shampoo, could that be the problem? Should I use a snow foam labeled shampoo? Help lol

    • @CarsWithKeav
      @CarsWithKeav  3 месяца назад

      Adam’s shampoo foams pretty good depends how much you use. A foam soap will do better, but there are other factors such as water quality. Harder water does not foam as much. Try using warm distilled water. You could try a little more soap as well.

      If you use the right nozzle tips you would get the same as the self car washes which is between 1000 and 1200 PSI. You will not get the same kind of water flow as those big commercial machines. It will feel different because of that, but the PSI will be the same.
