Great review, thank you
Great review Russell.
Thank you, it is a great machine!😊
You're the father i never had, Russel
😊
Just bought one of these today, on sale from Ava, lots of kit with it and only £150!
It isa great little pressure washer and that is a great little price you paid John. I hope you like it as much as I like mine! :-)
I used a pair of pliers to force the pin and it worked fine.
Nice one John! :-)
Great stuff Russell! - William
Thank you! :-)
Nice looking Pressure Washer :-) Cool review as always...Hope your good Russell :-)
Cheers Russ. All good here. Been really busy! :-)
Excellent review.
Thanks for watching Paul! :-)
Good review and cracking bit of kit. I have the same but recently I have found I can't connect the lance hose to the main body of the pressure washer. It just will not push and click in at all. I've tried both ends and it's the same. But it goes into the actual lance ok. 🤷
Not sure what is happening there. Try contacting Ava support. :-)
Great review Russell 👍👍
Thank you! :-)
very impressive. i must admit i dont use my old jetwash as oft as i should, as its a pain to get out. Very heavy and awkward, and the hose often twists etc. This machine looks very portable though so might be time for an upgrade for me!
It is so easy to just pick this up and carry it outside Stephen! 😊
another top review nice one Russell :)
Thank you! :-)
Is the motor water cooled..
yes i brought one brilliant
LOL - Did you get the P55 or P80? :-)
Hi sir can you advise on the type of pressure washer hose connection that goes from the tap to ava P50?
It is a normal hose connection Chris like this one: amzn.to/3nytXZZ If you have a garden hose it will probably already have the right connector fitted. They are available all over. :-)
@@RussellPlatten Thank you Sir , are using Hozelock Hose Trolley ?
I have a Hozelok hose reel on one side of the house and a coiled up hose on the other Chris. Anything will be fine so long as it has no kinks to restrict the flow. :-)
I've a karcher k4 with a 15m non kink hose, would it fit the p55?
Can't find any answers, thanks in advance.
No, it will not. :-)
Do you know if there is an adapter for the gun to fit a stainless steel spry wond on it? you know the wond that petrol pressure washers use . I clean under solar panel for living and sometimes there's no room for a thick wond to fit under.
Thank you
Not sure about the wand. There are some alternatives on the Ava site: avastore.co.uk/product/ava-nozzle-kit/ or avastore.co.uk/product-category/accessories/lances/ Not sure if these are what you are talking about. You can try contacting Ava Customer Support: avastore.co.uk/contact-us/ :-)
Hi! Just wondering if you still happy with the P55? 1 year update pls 🙂👍
I love the Go P55. I find myself using it more and more because it is just so easy! Literally pick it up and go. I was also sent the Ava Master P80 the review and this is a great pressure washer too. I have used two Karcher pressure washers over the years that I paid for myself, the K4 and after that the K7. The P55 is more powerful than the K4 which I used for a number of years. I cannot see any noticable difference in the patio with either the P55, P80 or K7. The P55 and P80 are better than the K7 in my opinion. If I could only pick one, I think I would choose the P55 because it is so easy and convenient. A couple of months ago I said the P80 when someone else asked a similar question, but since then I have used the P55 for a few smaller jobs that would not have got done if I only had the P80. All the accessories are on the machine and it is a joy to use! :-)
According to their site, 140 bar is the *maximum* pressure which is usually a useless metric since it only lasts a second. What's the sustained (continuous) bar pressure? That makes it easier to compare with other machines in terms of cleaning power.
They all report the maximum possibe pressure. The Ava Go P55 impressed me and I use it regularly. You can see how well it performs in the video. :-)
@@RussellPlatten In the manuals, you get the sustained pressure too, and that can differ wildly from the max according to the make and model. I feel sad manufacturers can get away without stating the sustained pressure on the main box/advert/product page.
Unfortunately there are quite a few variables and it depends on what is attached to the gun. :-)
@@RussellPlatten True, but it helps to narrow the choices down and make it a bit less wrong ;) Really we need an third party to set up a standard to compare and rate these things.
How do I put the u shaped metal pin in the lance
I show it on here: ruclips.net/video/RlY7Yd-syZU/видео.html it takes a bit of effort Jan! :-)
Service kits are less than £20 from Ava as the spares are not for profit
Russell I don't suppose you know the max length of extention lead you can use with this machine thanks
I think this would be fine on most extension leads rated for the motor size Richard. The safer bet is to buy the high pressure extension hose :-)
Cheers Russell sorry about late reply, my memory ain't the best
Can you adjust the nozle from vertical/horisontal? Drives me crazy having to hold the Gun like a gangster all the time 😂
LOL - Unfortunately no, you cannot adjust the orientation of the nozzle. I'm afraid it's 'Gangster Style' all the way! :-)
Thanks - I was looking at a new AVA Go P55 or stretching to the Master P60. It’s an extra £100 for a bit more pressure / water delivery, and extra warranty. What would your thoughts be? Or save a lot and get a Nilfisk!
It is a difficult question to answer Andrew. I love the Go P55. I used it a couple of days ago to clean my cars. The P55 is small, very portable and delivers plenty of pressure for most home jobs. It is my goto tool for smaller jobs that are not over large areas. I used a Karcher K4 for years and that had a lower discharge pressure than the P55. I also have the Master P80 and this is a very good machine. It is way bigger than the P55, but reasonably easy to boule around and delivers more pressure. I prefer the P55 because it is so easy to pick up and carry to the job site, but if I am working on a large area I use the P80. I have never noticed a major difference in the results for higher pressures. The finish is a little better, but not enough to make a major difference. If I had to chose only one it would be the P80 because I have a very large area of patio to clean. I suppose it is a case of "horses for courses!" Sorry I rambled on a bit! :-)
@@RussellPlatten thanks Russell.
I’ll probably go with the P55 given I’ve got a relatively small patio and save the extra money over the Master! I was tempted by a Nilfisk Core 140 but they seem to get hit and miss reviews.
I think the P55 is a good choice. I hope you like it as much as I do! :-)
Hi, really seems like a solid bit of kit! Do you think it would be a good idea to upgrade to a short quick release trigger gun for this? Would Karcher version fit this?
I do not see why you would need another gun as the one supplied is fine for everything you want to do with the power washer. :-)
@@RussellPlatten It was only to speed things up as the quick release fittings are slightly easier to release, also it would mean that I wouldn't have to adapt my foam lance again. Just keep seeing so many pro car detailers hyping them up too. Anyway, thanks for the reply! :)
No problem. I never showed it in the review, but you can use the Ava gun without the zoom lance. So you ould connect your foam lance straight onto the gun and not use the Ava zoom lance. :-)
Try contacting Ava customer support: support@avaofnorway.com
They are a great team and will be happy to help you. I have had a fair bit of contact with them and they seem very friendly. :-)
The upgraded gun avoids strain on fingers over hours of use.Most jobs don’t take that long so I wouldn’t waste your money.
Is this a self priming pressure washer because I'm setting up mobile car valeting. Will this draw the water from barrel itself or do I need a pump between a barrel and washer ???
It is self primimg. Here is a link to the Ava UK website with the information. avastore.co.uk/product/ava-self-priming-hose-w-check-valve/
If you read the description it is mentioned there. :-)
@@RussellPlatten thank you buddy much appreciate the reply. Happy Easter 🐣
@@mickyra7928 You're welcome. Happy Easter! :-)
Hi, what snow foam were you using? and what was the dilution?
It is Dirtbusters Vanilla Snow Foam from Amazon. There is a link in the video description. 50/50 dilution. :-)
Is the hose the same as kartcher
No, you need to purchace an Ava extension hose Aaron. :-)
Should the high pressure,turbo nozzle rattle?
Yes Mark, it does rattle. :-)
@@RussellPlatten thanks for confirming.
@@markmummery8765 :-)
Hi, is the turbo nozzle is more efficient that Karcher turbo nozzle ?
The CEO of Ava told me, during an email discussion regarding the turbo nozzle, that they had redesigned it to maximise efficiency. They use an aluminium insert instead of a plastic tube which reduces friction and that when fitted to the lance, the collar should be used to lock it. Clamping the nozzle further increases the effeicency by up to 10% as vibration is reduced.
I think that Ava have spent a lot of time getting the best out of their products and I am very impressed with the two machines I have reviewed. They are much better and cheaper than Karcher machines and have no fancy gimmicks like an app or electronic display on the gun - these are just a way to increase the price with no real added value to the customer. I think Ava will do very well over here once they are established and the extended guarantee is brilliant! :-)
@@RussellPlatten ok, thank you very much.
@@ytmachine4983 :-)
p55 but its failled 3 times shame keeps leaking from the zoom lance and handle
Contact Ava customer support: support@avaofnorway.com They are very good and will help you sort out the issue. :-)
How long does this carbon motor last?
It comes with a 5 year warranty which can be extended to 10 years if the machine is serviced after 5 years. :-)
Do you get to keep all these try outs ?
Yes Phil. :-)
@@RussellPlatten If you have any Old Karcher machines taking up valuable space give me a shout 😀 Great videos very informative 👍
Out of stock at all outlets and direct from manufacturer. Gone bust?
Very strange! :-)
@@RussellPlatten its on qvc right now so doubt it has gone bust.
Sounds loud, and sounds like an old Karcher.
I never noticed any difference, but I wasn't really looking for it. :-)
