Dude, you’re killing me! I just got the Active and did the retractable reel conversion. Could have bought those for less money and hassle. Even the swivel would have been perfect for my garage setup. Only downside would have been if I need to use the PW somewhere else around my house.
I was looking to get an Active 2.0 but with this price point, retractable cord and the fact I can get close to the 2GPM using the 3.5 nozzle, I’m buying this.
I'm pretty much exclusive rinseless these days, but I have been looking at pressure washer options for regular contact washes once in a while. Great price on this for sure.

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 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.
Dang, thought I was going to be first to get a video out on this. Editing mine right now and it’s basically the exact same thing. It’s going to look like I’m Copying. 😂😂😂
Love this video on the Giraffe G20, the question I have for you is are you required to use there leader hose that goes from the unit to the water source or can you use any other type of hose. I may have issues with the 6 feet reach and the power source as with the power source and water source are quite far apart.
As usual a good video. On a different topic, you do excellent product reviews, and I recently used the Superior Product Dark Fury and was extremely happy with the bug removal results. Can you review some of their products (e.g., Aqua Gloss, EZ Shine, etc.).
Hey man! Love your videos very detailed and to the point! If you had to choose between this G20 and the craftsman 2100psi unit which would you choose? They’re the same price for me at the moment, I wouldn’t mind having the wall mounted unit to save space but would still like to buy a good overall unit! Thanks!
Great video. Main question I have is for car detailing...what is the ideal PSI and ideal GPM? Since GPM and nozzle size seem to be directly correlated, is there an ideal orifice/nozzle opening size that you prefer?
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
I was about to buy the active 2.0 until I saw this video. The key selling point is the retractable hose. How does this compare to the active? Do you think this is worth getting for convenient foaming and rinsing?
Hi Josh, great video mate. I've recently purchased the washer and am looking at getting a new hose that connects to the tap as the hose provided is too short. My question is, what is a good hose and what size is the inlet on the G20 as I'm struggling to find a connector that fits?
Do any of the Ryobi or Greenworks stuff come close to the performance with a hose and wand replacement off the top of your head? I’m going to go back through and check a couple of those videos out so no biggie if you don’t remember.
It's unfortunate that Giraffe no longer sells the smaller units for $140 or less without the hose and reel, they had some good psi/gpm numbers for the price
I have one of this Brands retractable Pressure Washer and the hose just burst after less than 6 months... I tried to take it apart and see if I can change the hose, but It looks like it's been crimped on... Now I paid $400 for that one.... Im not really happy and had a detail that day and had to head to harbor freight to scoop up a cheap one to finish out my day!!! Can the pressure washing hose be changed out??? Would suck if I have to throw the whole thing out just for a cheap hose!!!!
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
Hi Josh, I’ve been thinking about getting one of these for a while, but I’m holding off to see if the AVA of Norway will be imported into the US, are you familiar with the brand?
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!
That's an awesome-looking unit Josh but I have one question. The location where I would be able to mount this on my patio is about 30 feet or so from the electrical outlet. Is it okay to use an extension cord for this or would that be a no-no? Thanks for all your work.
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
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
Can you link your pressure gauge, I have the same unit and my gauge is reading around 1300 psi with the stock gun and orifice. I get just under 1000 psi with a 2.5.
Josh, I'd really like you to check the pressure AND GPM of this pressure washer with the MJJC Pro V2 foam cannon attached. Those are the conditions you'd be operating at when you use a foam cannon. Something tells me that it is irrelevant what the psi and GPM ratings are with the supplied nozzles, as the foam cannon has it's own 1.1mm orifice. THANKS!!
I considered one but after seeing that the hose was not replaceable, i went piece meal. I dont have to want to replace everything just because one component breaks.
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 :)
@@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
17:09 I have heard that this company sends out units for people to use and make a RUclips video. Also, I heard that they make the content creator sign a contract or some kind of paperwork that the person doing the review won't talk negatively about the product. Josh, I am in no way, shape, or form accusing you of lying or deceiving us. I just want to know if these rumors I have heard are true. Obsessed Garage had me convinced never to buy any kind of Giraffe pressure washer. Your review has kinda changed my mind.
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.
Only problem is your paying for what is essentially a sealed unit. Once the motor fails, the entire thing is junk. You'd be better off buying a Active 2.0 with accessories (hose reel, uberflex, wand) for longevity and performance. Unless you want something that is more "aesthetically pleasing" I don't really see the value in this thing.
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.
@@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.
The low key shilling is becoming amusing at this point. It's been fun watching your channel grow and I'll keep watching most of the videos, but some of them are turning into 10 minute ads for the latest and greatest "budget" detailing options....
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!
This guy needs to learn to respect high pressure. A pin hole from that gauge would be no fun. A high pressure pump is no toy that you play around with. I have seen some nasty stuff, be careful.
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.

The low key shilling is becoming amusing at this point. It's been fun watching your channel grow and I'll keep watching most of the videos, but some of them are turning into 10 minute ads for the latest and greatest "budget" detailing options....
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!
This guy needs to learn to respect high pressure. A pin hole from that gauge would be no fun. A high pressure pump is no toy that you play around with. I have seen some nasty stuff, be careful.

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.
