You're awesome man! Because of you, I've fitted my garage to look close to your setup with all your recommended products. Its made washing my car so enjoyable and I look forward to the next wash everytime! Only problem now is my cars don't get dirty fast enough lol. Keep up the great content!!
I agree with all your points regarding the Karcher. I’ve been using the Karcher k1900 for the past few years now and have put on way more than 100 hours. The low Gpm is the worst thing about it but for $200, I can’t complain
Thanks a million Jeremy for the website step by step parts guide. Really helped me pull together a wall mount system 2.0 with ease. Your the man! Big R
Great to hear. It’s a good machine. Should serve you well. If you haven’t already invest in a good gun and hose. It will up the experience and stay with you long after a future machine swap. Stay away from the non steel braided hoses as they can surge on the 2.0. Not always but sometimes. Share some feedback with everyone after you get some time on the machine.
Man your video was one of the biggest reasons I upgraded mine 😁😁. I just went from the Karcher cube to an Active 2.0. BIG upgrade, thanks for the info 😀
I purchased an Adams 2.0 pressure washer with their swivel grip gun and love it. The unit is super quiet and compact, but portable with wheels. I like that the kit with hose, gun and nozzles all fit on the unit so I don't lose them. Thanks for the videos, always great content and presentation!
Just upgraded to the Kranzle from the Activ 2.0 a few weeks ago. I only used the Activ for about a year. The performance was great but the high pitched sound it makes drove me nuts. The Kranzle is far superior in build quality and is much quieter. Should have bought the Kranzle in the first place.
Tip for the spray nozzles, make sure you point it away from the car and toward the ground. Those pressures can send the nozzle bouncing off the payment onto the car or out into the lawn. Really hate trying to find that nozzle you just shot out into the brush.
Baaaaaaaaam absolutely love this at the end of your vids . I watch all your vids and I might open my own shop ! My trainer 😂😂😂😂 . Man that bam was a double !! Love it and thanks
last year I did a full setup. I got the Active VE52, stainless mount shelf, commercial hose and hose reel. Was all excited and thought I would be using it cause it would take no effort to pull out and use. Honestly I cant even remember the last time I used my PW at all. I have fully moved to rinseless washing to like 95%. I rarely ever do hose washing as rinseless is soo much faster and economical to do.
Good information for someone in the market for a pressure washer. I bought the Karcher from OG a few years ago on a Black Friday sale that had free shipping. Of course buying from OG you pay a bit more up front but in the end it has payed off for me. So as I said I bought mine 3 years ago and only get to use it in the warmer months but I have no complaints. Keep those videos coming 👍✌️☮️
I got a Karcher 1700 on sale for $80. Ive seen it for under $150 . At that price, it's great. Light and small. Perfect for residential car wash use. I have Ryobi Gas washer with a Honda engine also. Use the gas more in the summer.
Another banger Jeremy. Would like to throw in the Ryobi 1800 $100 at home Depot usually $50 for black Friday. With a 3.0 nozzle you can get 1090 PSI and 1.4GPM so comparable to the karcher. But you save between $70 to $120. On reliability. I've personally had mine for two years for weekly washes. No problems but I do have a fully upgraded kit. Active 2.0 or 3.0 is my next whenever this one goes but it's still going strong
Thanks. Thanks for sharing you thoughts. The active is that good middle ground between entry level and top shelf. Gives the good performance at a fair price.
@@HawaiiDetailing yep can't wait to try it out active is really doing some good innovative things in the detailing space. The problem with most pressure washers at the big box stores is that they want high psi numbers vs GPM. To do that they use smaller nozzles limiting flow and it always causes the pressure washer to work harder. Active just wants the highest GPM which is awesome
@@HawaiiDetailing unless you're a commercial detailer I see the kranzle having a hard time competing with the active 2.0 very similar performance but you can buy 3 actives for the price of one kranzle. Used with care I don't see an active not lasting 2-5 years
I agree the specs are nice but for some people that have the money the Kranzle is an awesome machine. If I was in the pressure washer market and on a tighter budget I would go with Active or if I was not sure about or ready to go all in I would go with an active. If I was sure I wanted to be in this for the long haul and had the money Kranzle. TV's now a days we are the same situation. Get a entry level 80" walmart / Costco TV for 1/3 the price of a high quality TV. Replace every few years because its cheap but the bummer is you have to watch a TV that is not that great everyday. Tools and electronics are very similar like this.
Yeah I am kinda surprised some people push the uberflex as a great hose. Its better then OEM but definitely not the best out there. Thanks for watching
I was lucky enough to order the Active VE52 kit in the height of the supply chain shortage. The OG gun is absolutely amazing but I was only able to get the grey Kobrajet hose instead of the blue one. I plan on ordering the new v1.0 OG hose in the near future on a COX reel. I hear they're coming out with a 2.3 version soon and may jump on that but the ultimate goal is to save my pennies for the real treat, the K1322TS before next summer when we move into our new place.
Great comparison and I am looking to swap out my pressure washer. I would love the kranzle but I find it hard to justify the money. I believe that the Active is a price point that I am comfortable paying. Great video Jeremy. 👏
Just got my blk cox hose reel, stainless steel shelf and jumper hose in the mail. I always told myself the cox reel was a wast of money but man oh man when I pulled it out the box I was drooling its definitely a nice unit. I picked up the 1700 cube 3 years ago with the og ultimate accessory package. it's been perfect but I really want the active 2.0 for the 2gal gpm but not till my cube is unusable.
Thanks for sharing. I agree that most people hate on everything that cost a lot. After you buy it you quickly realize it’s nice and it was all price based complaining. Hahaha. Congrats and glad you like the system and enjoy using it. That’s the most important thing at the end of the day. For some its all about economy and efficiency and I get that angle too.
@@HawaiiDetailing yep no more hand winding my 75ft hose. I got an electrician coming to put a a dedicated 20amp for my pressure washer and air compressor.
I think one important benefit of the Kranzle for people going mobile is that it's self-priming, so if you are running off a tank you don't need a pump.
best video for car washing pressure washer choices out there . nice job Jeremy as always. I wish you had a Ar blue 630 ts in the mix there because it's a killer machine for around 700$ little better output than kranzle but kranzle has a little better build both is an awesome machine and karcher and active 2.0 are awesome affordable machines anthing in between and above is a waste of money but most important is having nice quick disconnect nice hose and a swivel gun like you show in this video they make all difference when it comes to experience
The AR 630 is hardly portable, but the AR 613 is (2gpm+). And that too is serviceable - meaning it should last you a long time if you maintain it/change oil etc. I bought the 613 instead of Kränzle because it's so compact, a little lighter but still a serviceable medium duty machine with good flow. A great upgrade from my Kärcher K-5.👍 The real difference is gpm ( and in the long run: lifespan of the machine/serviceability). But the combination of output/gpm, weight/portability and prosumer serviceability of the 613 sold it for me. In both cases (Kränzle and AR) are European brands, and we have different grid (230-240VAC/50Hz) and the modelnumbers are a bit different for both brands. Both are upper range manufacturers of commercial grade equipment. In fact we have 3 different versions of the 613 here where i live, and it's not even called AR, but IPC. There's a lower amp version, and two 2,9kW-versions: One high pressure/lower gpm and one lower pressure/higher gpm. I've got the lower pressure/higher gpm version. It's rated 2,7 gpm and a 0.45 orfice feels nice for rinsing a car. There must be some difference between our grid and how electrical motors functions, but anyway: If portability is important, the AR-613 is even better than the similar Kränzle. 18,4 kg or 41lb and better ergonomics. As a European, I could get a similar Kränzle at the same price as an AE-613. I opted for the -613. It's such a nice high quality portable package. Cheers.🍻 Don't worry about the noise - when washing, the sound of waterflow/pressure will be all you're hearing... I know: OG tested it, and turned it down before the the 630. But portability was never discussed. If portability is an issue, the 630 is out, and 613 is gold. The 15-amp discussion is also a bit dumb. If you've only got a 15-amp outlet, then an AR-630 is off anyway? Matts only real argument aginst the -613 was that it would potentially blow a 15 amp circuit and the potential of 0.3 gpm difference. One is portable, and one is not. Sometimes there's good reasons for portable options. If your're up north and don't have a heated garage - you definitively want a portable option. Plenty of reasons to go portable.
Hey Jeremy, I've always wondered, won't the electricity pass through the plunger pump and give someone a shock if they accidentally touch it? My 14-year-old Karcher domestic K3.550 just broke, and I want to upgrade to a plunger pump with a good flow rate and pressure that are not encased in plastic and a part of its brass triplex plunger is exposed. But I'm worried about getting an electric shock if I accidentally touch it without turning off the power switch on the motor to remove the inlet and outlet water pipes from the brass plunger. Can you help me understand this? For example, the Karcher HD511 cage classic doesn't come with a 3-pin plug, so technically there's no ground. Is it still safe to hold the cage and move it around when there is power running through the machine ? I also saw your video on the best portable PWs, and there was a naked PW like Kranzle. Doesn't that pose an electric shock threat? I would really appreciate it if you could make a video on the best safety practices to follow to avoid life-threatening situations while using a pressure washer. Many of us don't realize how careful we need to be around pressure washers and how to use them safely.
Great video. Very informative. But you did not mention the size of the orifice on the 40 degree tip. Not sure if u saw active just announced last night for 2024 active 2.3 coming. Thanks again
Those details are in the description and on my website www.hawaiidetailing.com/portable-pressurewasher. The video was getting long and I had to draw the line. Thanks for watching
Thanks for this video Jeremy. I purchased the karcher 1700 Cube due to one of your past videos and it has been great. An Active 2.0 perhaps will be my next one,. The quick disconnects that you show are super helpful. Would you also consider a CR Spotless or similar system? I would love your thoughts on the various systems out there.
I am in the market for a good spotless system. I will make a vid when I get it sorted out. Thanks for watching the channel and the active is a nice upgrade.
Any chance by the way you could kindly do a video on how to tightly wind your coxwheel and hose so clean and even, a few pointers perhaps??? Try as I might, I just can't get mine tight and right, yours looks sweet, thanks again 👍!!!
I just picked up the active 2.0 and I’m running a 100ft 3/8 UBERFLEX hose. Is it common when you run a 100ft 3/8inch hose that when you pull the trigger on the gun it take a sec for the pump to turn on and then you let go of the trigger it take a sec for the pump to stop? It doesn’t do this with my 50ft 1/4inch UBERFLEX hose.
First make sure there are no leaks. With my 100' mtm hose it does not do this delay at all. I have never used a 100' uberflex only a 50' and it worked great but... Uberflex is definitely not nearly the quality of the better hoses I have tested. I try to tell everyone in my videos but they think I am just spending money on the better stuff for the hell of it. Uberflex is not as rigid or robust and will not last anywhere near as long. This lack of rigidity could have something to do with the pressure switch being delayed on a 100' hose I do not know?? I am thinking 1 of 3 things 1. Possible slight leak in the fittings causing pressure drop. Make sure they are not leaking at all 2. Hose is not rigid enough over a 100' length and is causing a pressure fluctuation causing the pressure switch to delay both during Start & Finish. Test again with the 50' hose to rule out #3 3. Pressure switch in the machine is very sensitive or malfunctioning however this is extremely unlikely if it works great with the 50' hose. I hope that helps
@@HawaiiDetailing it doesn’t do it with my 50ft 1/4 hose but it does it on my 100ft 3/8 hose. I think it’s Bec it’s non braided. Maybe the hose isn’t as rigid like you said. Thanks
How do you feel about the Ryobi sold at HD? I see a lot of good feedback on the Ryobi 1800psi. It works great for me, but I've also never used anything else. The Karcher doesn't seem to get as good of ratings or warranty as the Ryobi and as not as widely used by the detailing community.
I think the "portable" category of pressure washers is for those washers that can work without water and electric connection, those are battery operated and can draw water from a bucket, beacuse evrything else has either wheels or handle but require water & electric connection.
Hey Jeremy, I have the karcher and I cannot seem to get good foam out of it. i’m not sure if i need a better foam cannon or what but what do you use and dilution?
what are your thoughts on the big boi pressure washers coming to the usa I been rocking with the karcher but want to upgrade to the big boi or kranzle not sure which one to choose
I mobile detail 70 cars a month. my k1700 cube just died after 1 and a half yrs. and you're wrong they have a 3 yr warranty..my new unit is coming in in a week. on tip of that I got it for 119$ on Amazon sale. so for c the price it's definately the king of budget washers. I also use a 3.5 tip getting 875 psi at 1.6gpm 👍
Yeah. That’s why for people that are willing to spend the money I always say that the Kranny is everything that you would want and then some. They just can’t have the same quality at the Karcher or even the active price point. A good play is to get a long hose 50’ or so and put it further away so you don’t have it sitting right next to the car while you are working. Thanks for watching
Sorry to hear that. Reach out to the company and make them aware of you problem. This is why I would go with a Kranzle if you are using it all the time.
I don’t have any experience with pressure washers with foam cannons but if I started today I think I would get the Active 2. It is just me washing my own car at home. As far as the number of hours the pressure washer will last, I would be willing to bet it will last for more hours if you washed your car once per week compared to running nonstop until it breaks because it wouldn’t build as much heat.
FYI...How I chose a power washer with a budget in mind. Country of Origin, Final Cost, The Accessories, and a TEN year warranty. That's why I chose Greenworks...
I agree it has that cheaper sound to the motor that every budget pressure washer has. An easy answer is long hose, long cord and keep it a few feet away. All in all the sound is not that bad.
If you can afford it go Kranzle. Been my recommendation from day 1. Active is a disposable unit that cannot be repaired after it dies. I have had mine for quite a while with 0 issues but this machine does have a more consumer grade life expectancy. Thanks for watching
There are so many differences between a 1k pressure washer and an economy model. 2.0 GPM from a high end pressure washer is just one of the many benefits. Noise, build quality, ability to service instead of a non serviceable unit, pressure switch functionality just to name a few. I always recommend getting the best machine you can based on your needs as well as financial situation. When you end up with a more economical machine you just have to be prepared to accept the differences. Thanks for watching
I have done reviews of each of these with the OEM equipment. look in my video list. These are all pretty low quality accessories and need upgrading as soon as practical. You can get by with them short term but plan on the upgrades.

Here is a comprehensive guide to my favorite portable kits. www.hawaiidetailing.com/portable-pressurewasher
Got the active 2.0 since 4 months and so far i love it .
Great machine at the price.
You're awesome man! Because of you, I've fitted my garage to look close to your setup with all your recommended products. Its made washing my car so enjoyable and I look forward to the next wash everytime! Only problem now is my cars don't get dirty fast enough lol. Keep up the great content!!

Thanks a million Jeremy for the website step by step parts guide. Really helped me pull together a wall mount system 2.0 with ease. Your the man! Big R
Thanks. Glad it was helpful. Enjoy the setup.
Thanks for the video covering all of these!!! I'm building my Karcher setup as a starter set.
It’s a great starter. Thanks for watching
Great video Jeremy!
Just picked up a 2.0 a few weeks ago. Very happy with it so far! 🤙 Aloha
Great to hear. It’s a good machine. Should serve you well. If you haven’t already invest in a good gun and hose. It will up the experience and stay with you long after a future machine swap.

Well I got a gas pressure washer and wished a million times I would have gotten the electric one. Thanks for showing what you have. Great video
Thanks. I appreciate it
Just upgraded to the Kranzle from the Activ 2.0 a few weeks ago. I only used the Activ for about a year. The performance was great but the high pitched sound it makes drove me nuts. The Kranzle is far superior in build quality and is much quieter. Should have bought the Kranzle in the first place.
I agree and try to tell people whenever they will listen. If you have the money get a Kranzle. Thanks for watching and sharing
Is it true you need 20amps to run the Kranzie pressure washer?
@@rudeman1914 yes.
You’re the main reason I got a Karcher. That thing kicks ass.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing
Tip for the spray nozzles, make sure you point it away from the car and toward the ground. Those pressures can send the nozzle bouncing off the payment onto the car or out into the lawn. Really hate trying to find that nozzle you just shot out into the brush.
That’s a good one. Thanks
Baaaaaaaaam absolutely love this at the end of your vids . I watch all your vids and I might open my own shop ! My trainer 😂😂😂😂 . Man that bam was a double !! Love it and thanks
Thanks a lot.
Now I understand why the Kranzle wasnt on the wall….good stuff!! 🙂
Hahaha. Yeah. Making this video. It took a while. Thanks for watching
So basically you can buy 10 of the Karchers before you start loosing money from not buying the Kranzle. Thanks for the great video, very informative.
Your welcome. There is a big difference in these machine besides the price.
Love this guy! Upgraded to the 1322 TS from the Karcher. Can’t wait to set it up next spring!!
It’s a great PW. Thanks for watching
Hello Jeremy from Australia🙃
I thought the same thing when you fired up the KRANZLE that the noise from the water was louder than it's motor.😉
Yes it’s very quiet. It really is a great machine.
last year I did a full setup. I got the Active VE52, stainless mount shelf, commercial hose and hose reel. Was all excited and thought I would be using it cause it would take no effort to pull out and use. Honestly I cant even remember the last time I used my PW at all.

Same here I have become a Rinseless whore 😂😂
Really enjoying your videos…very well done!
Thanks.
Good information for someone in the market for a pressure washer. I bought the Karcher from OG a few years ago on a Black Friday sale that had free shipping. Of course buying from OG you pay a bit more up front but in the end it has payed off for me. So as I said I bought mine 3 years ago and only get to use it in the warmer months but I have no complaints.
Keep those videos coming 👍✌️☮️
Thanks for sharing. Glad to hear it’s going good.
I got a Karcher 1700 on sale for $80. Ive seen it for under $150 . At that price, it's great. Light and small. Perfect for residential car wash use. I have Ryobi Gas washer with a Honda engine also. Use the gas more in the summer.
Great deal
Hey it’s back Jeremy!!!! Great job!
Thanks. I appreciate it

Im running the Kranzle 1322 with the 100' kobrajet hose, and it's awesome. It sprays so much water than the Ryobi 1800.
Yes it’s a great machine.
It sprays so much water? Why do you want to spray more water for no reason? Just a waste of water?

Is it still safe to hold the cage and move it around when there is power running through the machine ? I also saw your video on the best portable PWs, and there was a naked PW like Kranzle. Doesn't that pose an electric shock threat?
I would really appreciate it if you could make a video on the best safety practices to follow to avoid life-threatening situations while using a pressure washer. Many of us don't realize how careful we need to be around pressure washers and how to use them safely.
I use the karcher you used, thing is a unit.
Great video. Very informative. But you did not mention the size of the orifice on the 40 degree tip. Not sure if u saw active just announced last night for 2024 active 2.3 coming. Thanks again
Those details are in the description and on my website www.hawaiidetailing.com/portable-pressurewasher. The video was getting long and I had to draw the line. Thanks for watching
Sorry I did not see all of the details in the description. GREAT 👍🏻 information. Thank you 🙏
Thanks for this video Jeremy. I purchased the karcher 1700 Cube due to one of your past videos and it has been great. An Active 2.0 perhaps will be my next one,. The quick disconnects that you show are super helpful. Would you also consider a CR Spotless or similar system? I would love your thoughts on the various systems out there.
I am in the market for a good spotless system. I will make a vid when I get it sorted out. Thanks for watching the channel and the active is a nice upgrade.
Any chance by the way you could kindly do a video on how to tightly wind your coxwheel and hose so clean and even, a few pointers perhaps??? Try as I might, I just can't get mine tight and right, yours looks sweet, thanks again 👍!!!
Yeah. I will do a short later. Thanks.
Here you go. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLkU7ruD/
Thanks 😊
Ok, do you have any videos of you using the onboard soap dispenser on the Karcher it would be nice to see it in action.
I do not. They are not great.
You are the men 👊🏼😎
Thanks
Didn’t see any of the tests you ran which gave you the specs you stated. Was this done in a different video?
You been working out ? Looking good man
Same thing I was thinking! Dudes lookin like a beast...
Yeah. Been getting healthy. Thanks buddy. I appreciate it
@@HawaiiDetailingi been watching for while and i can see a definite difference 💪 good stuff
@@luisvillalba8153 thanks. Been exercising and eating right. Feeling good. Hahahaha
I just picked up the active 2.0 and I’m running a 100ft 3/8 UBERFLEX hose. Is it common when you run a 100ft 3/8inch hose that when you pull the trigger on the gun it take a sec for the pump to turn on and then you let go of the trigger it take a sec for the pump to stop? It doesn’t do this with my 50ft 1/4inch UBERFLEX hose.
First make sure there are no leaks. With my 100' mtm hose it does not do this delay at all. I have never used a 100' uberflex only a 50' and it worked great but... Uberflex is definitely not nearly the quality of the better hoses I have tested. I try to tell everyone in my videos but they think I am just spending money on the better stuff for the hell of it. Uberflex is not as rigid or robust and will not last anywhere near as long. This lack of rigidity could have something to do with the pressure switch being delayed on a 100' hose I do not know??
I am thinking 1 of 3 things
1. Possible slight leak in the fittings causing pressure drop. Make sure they are not leaking at all
2. Hose is not rigid enough over a 100' length and is causing a pressure fluctuation causing the pressure switch to delay both during Start & Finish. Test again with the 50' hose to rule out #3
3. Pressure switch in the machine is very sensitive or malfunctioning however this is extremely unlikely if it works great with the 50' hose.
I hope that helps
@@HawaiiDetailing it doesn’t do it with my 50ft 1/4 hose but it does it on my 100ft 3/8 hose. I think it’s Bec it’s non braided. Maybe the hose isn’t as rigid like you said. Thanks
How do you feel about the Ryobi sold at HD? I see a lot of good feedback on the Ryobi 1800psi. It works great for me, but I've also never used anything else. The Karcher doesn't seem to get as good of ratings or warranty as the Ryobi and as not as widely used by the detailing community.
I have not used the Ryobi. Thanks for sharing your experience with it.
I think the "portable" category of pressure washers is for those washers that can work without water and electric connection, those are battery operated and can draw water from a bucket, beacuse evrything else has either wheels or handle but require water & electric connection.
Yeah I see what you mean. I look at either wall mounted or portable as my 2 options. Thanks for watching
Fantastic video very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Jeremy, I have the karcher and I cannot seem to get good foam out of it. i’m not sure if i need a better foam cannon or what but what do you use and dilution?
Do you have a 1.1 orifice in the cannon?
Yes I do
what are your thoughts on the big boi pressure washers coming to the usa I been rocking with the karcher but want to upgrade to the big boi or kranzle not sure which one to choose
I have never used it. I know the kranze is a great machine.
I mobile detail 70 cars a month. my k1700 cube just died after 1 and a half yrs. and you're wrong they have a 3 yr warranty..my new unit is coming in in a week. on tip of that I got it for 119$ on Amazon sale. so for c the price it's definately the king of budget washers. I also use a 3.5 tip getting 875 psi at 1.6gpm 👍
God to know. Thanks for sharing
How Many inch is that hose? 1/4 or 5/8?
I’m quite sad. I like the size and all of the Karcher. I picked up an 1800. They are so loud and have such hard stop and go.
Yeah. That’s why for people that are willing to spend the money I always say that the Kranny is everything that you would want and then some. They just can’t have the same quality at the Karcher or even the active price point. A good play is to get a long hose 50’ or so and put it further away so you don’t have it sitting right next to the car while you are working. Thanks for watching
How did you get your Cube k1700 that color?
Paint
How much is the 2.0 by itself, I have all the attachments?
350ish
Waiting on active 2.3
Who makes that hose
sapphire-aqua-gs6h.squarespace.com/config/pages here are links to the equipment. Thanks
Active 2.0 Upgrade time stamps - 7:36 and 10:14.
My Active 2.0 got burnt after less than 2 years. I use it at most twice a week.
Sorry to hear that. Reach out to the company and make them aware of you problem. This is why I would go with a Kranzle if you are using it all the time.
I love the active 2.0 so much I’m tempted to buy another 😂
Hahaha.
$1400 -1600 is crazy unless you own your now business I can afford it but I will never spend $1600 on pressure washer .
I understand
The karcher is on sale for $111 on Amazon now
Great deal.
I use that cheap karcher. Got it on sale 4 years ago for $99. For car washing they are all the same
If you had 240v electric in the US you wouldn’t believe how much more power you would have!
Your t-shirt is cool, did you draw it yourself?🙂
No I had someone draw it for me. Thanks.
The QC reduces the waterflow. 100%
If it does it’s a very small amount and the trade off for ease of use is worth it for most people. Thanks for watching
Would I be able to use these three portable washers with HOT water?
There are limits in temp with hot water. Warm tap water yes. Super heated steam water definitely not.
@@HawaiiDetailing
Are there any portable models you recommend I could use with water temp like 100 degrees faranheight?
@@aledwidge these will work at 100 no problem. If you end up way hotter not so much. If you have the money go Kranzle.
Can you plug the Kranzle in a regular wall outlet?
It needs a 20 amp circuit
You ever try the Kranzle KWS700TS?
No I have not.
1:08
I don’t have any experience with pressure washers with foam cannons but if I started today I think I would get the Active 2. It is just me washing my own car at home. As far as the number of hours the pressure washer will last, I would be willing to bet it will last for more hours if you washed your car once per week compared to running nonstop until it breaks because it wouldn’t build as much heat.
That’s a good choice. Great value for the money.
FYI...How I chose a power washer with a budget in mind. Country of Origin, Final Cost, The Accessories, and a TEN year warranty. That's why I chose Greenworks...
There you go. Get what makes you happy and spray away. Thanks heartland for always participating in the comments.
7:05 lol I use my for Atleast minimum 1hr
Wow. Yeah you better get a Kranzle.
Kranzle No.1 for a reason.
That high pitched squeal from the 2.0 and Karcher. Like nails on a chalkboard. Just no.
I agree it has that cheaper sound to the motor that every budget pressure washer has. An easy answer is long hose, long cord and keep it a few feet away. All in all the sound is not that bad.
@@HawaiiDetailing i have seen them placed under a water tank pump cover with rubber lined insulation
kranzle > anything else
active 2.0 people complaining unit broke and no customer service so IDK
If you can afford it go Kranzle. Been my recommendation from day 1. Active is a disposable unit that cannot be repaired after it dies. I have had mine for quite a while with 0 issues but this machine does have a more consumer grade life expectancy. Thanks for watching
he looks like Tony Hawk
The difference between 1.4 and 1.9gpm isn’t much. For some reason everybody thinks they need 2.0gpm to wash vehicles. Lol
There are so many differences between a 1k pressure washer and an economy model. 2.0 GPM from a high end pressure washer is just one of the many benefits. Noise, build quality, ability to service instead of a non serviceable unit, pressure switch functionality just to name a few. I always recommend getting the best machine you can based on your needs as well as financial situation. When you end up with a more economical machine you just have to be prepared to accept the differences. Thanks for watching
you're curling 48lb my man

There you go. Nice. Thanks for watching
You should Buy a High Pressure Swivel for your Gun. Swivels really help with winding up your hoes, and moving around the car with a gun in your hand.
Thanks I agree. This gun has one built in. Its a good one
Why not show the OEM stuff.. ugh🫤
I have done reviews of each of these with the OEM equipment. look in my video list. These are all pretty low quality accessories and need upgrading as soon as practical. You can get by with them short term but plan on the upgrades.
