Nice work o n getting it up so fast! Mine is still in transit
I got lucky the warehouse, FedEx facility and my house are all in the same zip code. 🤷♂️
aint that what she said? lol just joking bro!
@@arcforceworld No joke, that is what she said. LOL
Your excitement was like a kid on Christmas. That performance and barely pushing 13 amps is amazing. I have an Active 2.3 on pre-order and I hope it performs the same as in their testing. I was looking at the Washr Duo because of cost with very similar rates stats.
You will not be disappointed with the 2.3. I just tested it and it is impressive.
Your efforts don’t go unnoticed Keav! Your videos are getting better and better and you deliver some of the best detailing content on youtube
Really appreciate that!
Damn... Keav must have started this vid while the FedEx truck was still in the driveway! 😂
Within a few hours. I stopped everything I was doing. 🤣
@@CarsWithKeavlol😊
😂 😆 😆 😂
I'm dead💀
Was a hell of a surprise for me. I walked into work today and it was sitting on the delivery table. I'm like yes, nobody else has it yet, then I open youtube and there's already a video up. 😂
you torture yourself making these vids but we do thank you keav. Your the man
It’s still fun in the end. 🤣
Man this unit is fantastic 👌🏾 i think this is one of the BEST pressure washer you've ever get hands on.... keep it up man
It is a great machine we got a few more to review before we make that ultimate comparison video.
@CarsWithKeav I saw your updates so waiting for it
Hey you beat JoshV to it!😂
For the first time in awhile. 🤣
😂
Waiting for the US review of this unit. Good for you been eyeing this unit
Thanks
Really well done review. I like that you tried and gave performance specs for different nozzle sizes!
Thank You! 🙏
Hell yeah. I been waiting for this.
Me too. 🤣
I have mine arriving next week. Can’t wait.
@@chavezsergio4496 Awesome
Also in the UK we don't run into the issue with current (amps). Our standard wall socket is 13amps at 240v AC. Makes sense why petrol pressure washers are so popular there when home use stuff in the UK is always electric.
This machine pulls like 8amps in the UK.
Yeah, mainly because our electrical grid was largely established before the 240v started being used in Europe. Would be too expensive to redo the whole thing so they kept it at 120v.
Great stuff Keav! Thank you for your reviews!
Also, love the bloopers!
You’re Welcome! Bloopers come natural to me.
On the surface it looks great. It looks great quality, but we know AR is there and has been tested for a long time. I hope they do great.
If you got 20 amp for me there is nothing better than an AR630. We will see the performance of the 2.3 to make that final decision.
Very well done! I have been waiting for your review of the Big Boi.
Thanks Tim!
Been waiting for this one. Can’t wait till you get your Active for comparison. I have a feeling I’m going to want this pressure washer but the old lady would kill me after I dropped $900 on the Active 😂
Finally got it thanks for the info on getting it from Carzilla. Beat Active by about 2 or 3 days most likely.
Great video as always. You may be the first to video for sure, though I only look at a few channels on content like this and yours is so genuine, I like that a lot. I I've watched many and didn't have a chance to comment on them, I'll go back and do so.
Can't wait for the reviews on the others. I'll be looking to upgrade to a better pressure washer though weight and size are a factor. But I do like how these are serviceable and have a long warranty.
That foam cannon bottle didn't have a chance. Lol
Appreciate all the comments! Big Boi reached out and said they are going to try and strengthen the foam cannon bottles. I said they better not be clear or I’ll for sure break them. 🤣
I haven't unboxed mine yet, but in the interview with Josh V I could have sworn they claimed you would get a copy of the test chart they make during testing.
I have not seen anything.
Still waiting on mine. You’re killing me !!!! I can’t wait anymore 😅
Hope you get it soon! 🤣
Looks like almost a clone of my arblue 630, which broke down about 1 time per year. It was a crappy Italian design. Make sure you got a good warranty if you get one.
That’s weird most who use the 630 say it lasts many years without issue. I know a few detailers running them non stop all day for years. Maybe you got a defective one? I know their warranty isn’t the best at only one year. I do have a friend who has to rebuild his at least once a year, but he has bad water that also ruins his house plumbing as well. The Pro and AR are pretty close, but different motor and 15amp vs 20AMP. The pro is having some complaints in the U.S. for reliability as well they have stopped all new shipments until they have a fix.
This design of crank type pump vibrates a lot more than a kranzle. That and the weight are the only disadvantages. Other than that those pumps are awesome and can flow a LOT of water. I run mine at 12l / minute on a uk 13amp plug.
I wish we could flow that here in the U.S., but our 120v just doesn’t have the low amp power your 230v system has.
Just waiting on the review from you on the Active 2.3 to see which way to go. Both look great, but for me mostly about GPM, motor life, serviceability, and amperage. I know I'd be happy with this, but if the Active is even better, I'll go that way when i upgrade.
that’s me too. I want one of these 2 but just am only able to afford 1 of these so just waiting on his review on both these before I purchase one
I have it in my hands right now and it’s pretty good. Active came out with a video addressing serviceability. The amps is good and the numbers is impressive. Only thing is the sound. Pro is just quieter. I’ll have all the info in my video.
Go Bigboy, I got my Active 2.3 three days ago, and it’s already purging 😢 and it is loouuud(w the stock hose, no leaks.) Already contacted customer support and processing a return. Pretty bummed about it.
@@swoldierjan5332 Several people in the comments having issues with Big Boi as well. There will always be problem units when launched unfortunately.
@@swoldierjan5332 you must have got a bad one. I’ve only used mine once and it ran good during the time I was using it. Hopefully this doesn’t happen to mine. I don’t think it’s loud but maybe that’s because I use mine outdoors.
Damn,,, That last few seconds of the bloopers... I felt that! lololz!
Every time I film. 🤣
I recently started having issues with my Pro. Used it 2 times. On the 3rd use, when I turned it on via the switch, the motor gave a hum, but never started. After toggling On/Off a few times, the motor finally started. I contacted Bigboi. Their recommendation was to try a different outlet. I actually tried it on a dedicated 20amp circuit, and it still hums. I sent Bigboi a video this morning showing the failed start.
Between a damaged wall mount (still have not received the replacement), and now a defective Pro ... I would suggest folks hold off with purchasing. Not the "experience" I was expecting.
That is what sucks about new products being launched. We early adopters are the Guinea pigs. I find it hard sometimes to comment on durability as I’m just looking at the parts and assuming it’s going to do well. You also can’t wait awhile to see how it goes either as everybody is wanting that video as soon as possible. My other problem is owning 5 different of these units in this category I won’t be able to use them as much as most would. I hope they get it resolved for you quickly. Sounds like they are trying to be helpful. The outlet change some in the comments said it fixed their particular issue.
Great points. Yes, absolutely they are working with me. I know ... We are Beta testers to a certain extent. My gut is telling me there is a failed capacitor. Like when your AC condenser fails to start. Anyway, appreciate the feedback, as always! I will report back once this gets figured out.
@@HeadShot1171 Please do I plan to do a comparison video this weekend and will go through the comments to give some feedback of what issues people are having.
@@HeadShot1171 I am having the same exact issue with my machine and also working off of a dedicated 20 AMP circuit so that is not the issue as there tech person suggested. I reponded to the support team last Thursday with more videos, etc and have not heard back. Have you heard back with a fix or resoltion? Very frustrating with the lack of response and support. I have had the machine for almost 3 weeks with no help on getting the issue corrected
@DavidAuer-kn2bp No, I have not received any response from the emailed video sent last Friday at 0700 EST. Not even an email confirming receipt. Just getting ready to send a follow up email. I would be willing to FaceTime, or open a Teams call to have me walk thru it with them. I want to be fair to Bigboi, however ... That fairness needs to be reciprocated.
Awesome review! Riches with Keav ! 🎉
Thanks 🙏
I'm excited, mine is on the way, supposed to arrive 4/23. I am a little disappointed in the performance you got, I expected the 1200 PSI and 2 GPM but it will work fine.
Rarely have stated numbers by any company ever been right for me and my numbers at times are lower to others. Possibly 1100 is possible I think on the right electrical circuit and water supply.
Hey mate great video💪 just a quick one was the adjustment knob all the way .
All the way with a wrench. In the video was my second round of testing gained 50 PSI by using a wrench to max versus hand tight.
Man I would love to own that. I love the green color scheme as its my favorite color. Which is why I go with Flexzilla hoses. Its just a bit expensive for me so I'm going to settle with the Ryobi 1800.
You can’t go wrong with a Ryobi. Wants and needs in the end.
Thank you for the video bro. Looks like a great machine.
You’re Welcome
I swear that foam cannon was taunting u at the end lol 😂. Looking fwd to your 2.3 review even tho I just bought the 2.0 lol.
They all taunt me ever since I started drop testing them. 🤣 2.3 should arrive today video hopefully Monday!
@@CarsWithKeav 😂🤣
nice job testing. Good data.
Thank You
Great review. It's impressive it puts those numbers at just 13amps, but I wanted a little bit more out of the machine. Curious to see what the active numbers are as they stated it will run under 15amps.
Just a hint 2.3 is going to impress.
Great review, dude!
Thank You!
Can you run the test the opposite way to see what the numbers will be and power consumption wattage will be with 3.0 and maybe even a 2.5 orifice ? I am curious to see when it overloads the 15amp breaker and what the output etc will be at max psi and what the flow will be. I would be curious to know the same info when you test the washer duo model that you also have in the box. Thx.
I’ll work on that and see what I can do. I’ll be doing a comparison video of all the pressure washers I can update three. Big boi said 14.5 is the safe limit and gave me some suggestions to get to the 1200 psi it’s supposed to have.
@@CarsWithKeav Sweet. Might as well push the limits and see what is usable on your 20 amp circuit as well. Since you have one and have access to a good variety of nozzle types.
@@cue03 Big Boi warned me do not go over 14.5 amps on the pro as the power unit is not designed for over that.
@@CarsWithKeav got ya. You would think that at these price points they could design the pressure washer to be pretty stellar at 15amps and even better at 20amps with an appropriate power unit to handle both 15 and 20amp circuits. Probably will also need to take into account the design of the pump etc. maybe more headache than necessary. Was just trying to think outside the box. like having a split personality pressure washer. :)
@@cue03 You and me both. I would think the main reason would be warranty protection and liability especially with US users who get a little carried away. 🤣
When is the detailing cart video coming out?
I hope soon got to get these new pressure washers done first.
I cant find anything online when searching for nice pressure washers of this caliber. So far i know of the actives, the big bois, ar630 tss, and the comet 1700 thanks to this channel... Any other models im missing?
That is really all there is that is not full industrial without a start/stop. Kranzle would be next up, but that’s in the $1200 range. There is not much competition is this range.
Not worried about the price at all if the quality fits. So I'm gonna look one that up. Any others of that level?
@@Rabbit.760 Not that I can think of really. Kranzle is about the quality it’s not the performance of an AR or an Active, but many think it’s the best out there. Me personally I think the AR630TSS is the best overall one when you count performance, quality, serviceability and noise level.
Is there a video of you testing the 3/8 vs 1/4 with the active 2.0 and 630? debating on the lighter 1/4 hose vs 3/8 with this machine. Have the 50ft kobrajet 3/8 now and its pretty damn heavy, bend restrictor isnt helping the ergonomics of things either. Thanks.
I do not have any videos comparing anything outside of the Uberflex which I would not suggest for these machines. I have used the 40ft 1/4 wire braided hose from the active 2.3 on many pressure washers including the 630 and it works great. If I didn't have the Kevlar hose which is much lighter than a Kobrajet and close to the same weight as a steel braided 1/4 hose I would probably use a 50ft 1/4 braided hose instead. If I was working in the 100 foot range for hose length then I would stick with 3/8.
I ordered mine this morning.
Nice, hope it does well for you.
Looks good, I couldn't wait and got my Kranzle 1622TS last week, I am only a weekend warrior
That is an amazing machine! You’ll love it!
I could not wait either, and splurged on the Kranzle. And it brings a big smile to me every time I use it. Even the wife loves it.
@@WorldwideBeagle Can’t go wrong with that beast of a machine. I’ll review one some day just got to build up some channel revenue to afford it.
@@CarsWithKeav You must know the old carpenters saying: Buy a cheap tool, cry every time you use it, buy a quality tool, cry once. It's frustrating that so many on the detailing channels are arguing and fighting and bad mouthing others about their personal opinion on the alleged BEST. Few talk the fun and satisfaction their setup brings to them. I have a friend with a Karcher 1900, albeit a better hose, cannon, and gun. He is happy as a clam and I envy his satisfaction and ability to refrain from upgradeitis.
@@WorldwideBeagle Totally agree, it’s about the experience and making it as enjoyable as possible. I know some might not enjoy it as much if they spent a lot on them wondering in the back of their head saying could I have spent this money somewhere else. If I’m a business such as a carpenter then better tools in the long run will be helpful, but for the homeowner will you really ever get to where they get used enough to matter? I know reviewing is tough as we see these test them brand new and with so many option will never use them enough to be able to speak on reliability. We can pick and choose product quality and specs to try and say what we think will last. That’s why sometimes it’s best to just go with what we know is good already like the Kranzle and AR, but if we don’t try out the new stuff we will never know how good they are long term. Thanks for your insight!
Love it😂have a great day
Thank You!
Been considering the Active 2.0, but will wait to see what the counterpoint to that is in the Big Boi Lineup. You mentioned the UBERFLEX 50ft does not perform that well with the 2.0, is that because of length? Will the UBERFLEX 35ft be a better performer? Appreciate all your great content Keav !!!
Uberflex isn’t a good hose. If I were you I’d get a kobrajet hose. Yes it’s heavier but it doesn’t kink up and it’s easier to wind up when storing. Quality is also far better.
Active actually responded on another video saying since the Uberflex and Flexzilla are not braided they tend to expand with units of this type of performance causing the pressure switch to not work correctly. Braided hoses keep their inner diameter making a more consistent stream of water for the pressure switch to operate correctly.
Uberflex is a good upgrade hose for that first pressure washer like a Ryobi, but when moving up to machines of this performance you need braided heavier duty hoses and 3/8. Active actually stated the flexible hoses like Uberflex actually expand and contract due to not having any steel braiding to keep the diameter consistent. This impacts the pressure switch for the start/stop.
@@CarsWithKeav Gotcha Keav, much thanks !!
Great machine! What do you think of the sound of this unit?
I think it sounds great has that industrial sound I like and seems to vibrate less than say the AR630.
@@CarsWithKeavIs the sound level about the same as the Ar630?
Yes....I need to know... can't stand how loud my 630 is @@ponchis1966
@@ponchis1966 Its less noisy than the AR and the sound is deeper. Ar is a bit higher pitched.
@@CarsWithKeav thank you for the feedback. PS I like the bloopers at the end of the videos.
Bring on the Duo review!
Should be out today!
Its nuts that americans are just discovering hose quick disconnects. I am 32 and British and we have had quick disconnects for longer than I have been on this earth. Hozeloc where one of the first. Wait until you guys discover you can buy them with non-drip non-return valves. You can power your hose up and water won't flow until you click it into the port. Been around years, plastic and brass.
I have been using quick connects for about 20+ years now. American companies just don't supply them with just about anything they are always an add on. I have tried the ones that don't run until connected, but at least the ones we have they have smaller diameters. I get the biggest inner diameter ones I can find which are always free flowing.
Thanks for putting the hard work into this video. Regrettably, the link above is broken. It appears that BigBoi USA has removed the Washr Pro from its website. Not just an out of stock notice--they have scrubbed the page. Things that make you go "hmmmm."
They are holding future shipments until they get some issues fixed. I have parts testing now. They are having low voltage issues that they did not foresee. They didn’t do much actual research in the U.S. just lab testing based on perfect 120v which is a big miss on their part. They may be changing the listing for the changes that will be made when all testing is good.
@@CarsWithKeav Thanks for sharing. It's amazing how often companies do stuff like this in failing to test product in a real world situation before releasing them.
I bought a golf simulator launch monitor a few years back from a company called Earnest Sports. The thing was absolutely useless when any natural light was present. Even in a room with windows, the thing was useless. When I called support, they essentially admitted that it was never tested in the outdoor environment. I was able to get my money back within 30 days, but many folks got screwed.
@@ILruffian Yeah, it’s a mix of not knowing the actual power grid voltage and how most homes are wired. Then they try to bring a 4 pole motor which needs all that voltage to get going if not it has to increase amps then trips the breaker or it’s own protection circuit. Nobody really has done a motor like that for this type of task in a 120v power grid. Would have been a good idea to hire a consulting group to help them launch in the U.S.
@@CarsWithKeav Good insight, thanks for sharing. Obsessed Garage may have some conflicts of interest, but he was apparently said that they were a marketing company vs. one experienced in build and design.
@@ILruffian Matt has a specific criteria he believes in and a line he won’t cross and it’s not the same as mine. I don’t take his word when it comes to things he has not tested or used. That’s why I prefer to try them out for myself he misses a lot of good products due to his line in the sand when it comes to Chinese manufacturing.
JUST WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
I've been debating between the WashR Pro and Active 2.3 and decided to wait on the reviews before making my final decisions.
I’m sure Keav will have one up within the next 2 weeks. I’m waiting on that review before I decide on buying a pressure washer.
It’s in my hands right now. Will have video out in a few days.
Video will be out in a few days and I will also do a big side by side video comparison of all the Big Boi, Active and AR.
@@CarsWithKeav you the man!
@@CarsWithKeav It's been a few days already!! where's the AR and Big Boi? haha I just cancelled my order of the 2.3 because based on the recent review consensus, it's loud.
i was interested in this but their company is so unresponsive to emails and general questions. if they cant even respond to a general email of when they expect their product to be back in stock, i cant imagine how poor their customer service would be if you ever needed to do a warranty claim. ive emailed twice now asking when they expect to be in stock and nothing. ended up just buying an active since they didnt say anything.
They are trying to solve an issue that happens in some garages where the voltage isn’t high enough for the motor to get going to it increases amps and then over amps. They are holding the 2nd shipment till they find a tested fix for it. I agree I inquired about their products multiple times over the months before their first launch and got no response. They respond to me now via text after I found these issues with their products and they saw the videos. I love my Active so far it running like a champ and I’m not hearing much in comments about any issues except the noise.
Just got my duo today! Kinda surprised because I didn't receive any shipping or tracking notification. Super excited to try it out that thing is a beast! Not really sure why they didn't send a female quick connect to go with the male?? How was the db level ?
Yeah, don’t get the make quick connect with no female. 🤷♂️ same for me I got a notification it was out for delivery nothing up till then. dB level is a bit high and it loud especially compared to the pro. Just finished editing the duo video now and uploading today.
I just received mine as well, unfortunately the quick connect going to the hose is defective. I will update on how fast this is resolved. Somewhat disappointed.
Just wanted to give an update. I reached out to them and they are shipping a replacement part, great customer service!
That is awesome. Anytime you have a launch like this there will be some problems. Good to know customer service is responding so quick. That quick connect is not easily replaceable either as it’s part of the pressure regulator. I took it apart just to see and put it back together after seeing all the little parts. 🤣
@@CarsWithKeav for sure, the response was great. The only thing is they don’t have the replacement parts here in the US yet. So, this one is shipping straight from Australia. Hopefully, it does not take too long. Quick connect actually can screw right out. It may look like one piece, but it just threads on. I was able to remove mine and send them pictures.
@@skrsys Yeah, its just not a quick connect that you can just easily replace. The threading was something I ha don't seen before that's for sure. Plus all the little parts.
@@CarsWithKeav right, I was thinking of trying to cobble something together, but with the spring and the other small part (looks like something to control back flow) I didn’t go that route.
Awesome video Keav! Whats the dimensions? Also, how loud is the pump noise? Can't wait for more video of the new goodies!
Pump noise is good and is basically the same or less than the sound coming from the water pressure spray. 19x10x10
@@CarsWithKeav Thank you so much Keav!
My Bigboi foam cannon broke in a similar way!😢
Clear bottles are very fragile usually break on 1st drop when full of liquid.
Can anyone confirm if the motor stops instantly after releasing the trigger? My unit runs for another 5-10 seconds before stopping
Mine stop after trigger if it is going another 5 to 10 seconds there is an issue with the pressure switch. What hose are you using?
@@CarsWithKeav currently using the bigboi 13m hose, pressure switch seems to trigger instantly but pump keeps running. I will contact bigboi and see if this is a known issue
@@lachlanmacrae5560 Sounds like an issue with the spring inside the regulator. It is supposed to retract to allow the machine to build pressure to have the pressure switch kick off. I think I have seen one other comment about that and the spring was broke. It’s just inside the 3/8 quick connect area just after the regulator adjustment knob.
Spring seems good and the pressure switch is definitely activating as soon as the trigger is released, Im starting to think this might be a design choice for the Australian market, as I have noticed this on a few other videos who have the Australian version 🤔
@@lachlanmacrae5560 Possibly I don’t know the products their plus that would be a 230 volt unit as well I think. Way more performance than what I get get in our 120 volt.
If it runs on 15 amps, don’t you have to have a 20 amp dedicated circuit?
This machine was designed for a dedicated 15 amp. As long as you stay under 15 amps you won’t need a 20 amp.
You gonna check out the active 2.3? Seems to be comparable to this could be a cool verses vid
I have the 2.3 right now and will have a video out in a few days.
Is itt the washr pro, that you have tested or the improved version: the pro MKII?
No Mk2 for the U.S. as we only have 110v and Mk2 is for 230v. They are still sold out in the U.S. until they can figure out the capacitor issue they are having here.
@@CarsWithKeav Just an update with my Pro Washr issues if you would like to share. I emailed Bigboi last week to find out if they had a fix for the Hum/start issue. Long story short they sent me a new capacitor and it works great with no issues. Not sure if you already knew of this but thought others with the same issue would like to know.
Kranzle killer😊
My thoughts exactly and it can be turned up more! I’m looking into that and will do an update video if it works out. They reached out to me about not meeting the numbers stated for PSI and gave me a few things to try out.
I was thinking this would be my upgrade from my active 2.0. But why would I with those numbers?
Wait till the 2.3 comes. I think it’s going to surprise people. Should be here today.
Are you going to release the other video today?
Within the next hour. Waiting on RUclips to process their checks and 4k processing.
Received my Pro and wall mount yesterday. The lower hose connection loose, and the wall mount shelf is severely scratched up ... And one spot where they started to drill a hole, and stopped.
Disappointing since shipping alone for the wall mount was $100. I emailed them, with the order number today. Hope they step up, and replace the shelf without issue/headache.
Geez this isn't a good start. Another commenter stated their quick connect was not functioning and its built as part of the pressure regulator so not easy to replace.
maybe contact them to sort the issue out could have been damaged in transit, instead of going on about it on socials 🤦🏼
Nothing wrong about reporting on social. I find it informative as I also ordered the pro and wall mount. I emailed them over 2 weeks to ask about ETA. No reply as of now. That kinda of worry me in regards to customer service. My FedEx account has just informed me yesterday that I have 2 shipments coming totaling 65lbs. That worries me again as the pro itself is 60lbs. Will contact them again and hope they reply.
I did. I opened a ticket, and sent an email. I offered to provide photos immediately upon request. Will be fair, and give them an opportunity to at least acknowledge the ticket and email. Maybe start adding Bigboi reps to my posts. Hopefully, they will stand behind what they sold.
Keav....Any idea what the modification is that needs to be done to the Washr Pro unit to run it off of a generator? BigBoi instructs you to contact them prior to running the unit off of a generator as the unit will need to be modified. I asked that question on Josh V's channel and the BigBoi reps said they would have to check with their factory and would report right back. Unfortunately they never did! Crickets....... Potentially not to inspiring from a customer support perspective.
That is very weird I mean a generator just supplies 120 volt electricity just like a wall socket would I think. I’m no expert in generators though. It should just plug in and has a GFCI on the plug. Not sure what could be modified.
4:10 Nope! 2pol vs 4pol induction motor, the rpm should be the same!
The true reason for more poles is: less power is needed to make a full revolution (RPM) = less fatigue for the bearings = more reliable
Not from what I have read now I’m no expert, but research shows a 4 pole with the same electricity will have half the revolutions of a 2 pole. My Google search said this which is why I said that “Two pole AC motors operating at 60 Hz will always run at approximately 3600 rpm, and four pole AC motors will have speeds around 1800 rpm” I’m not going to argue like I said I’m no expert, but in the end the motor does less work to get the results.
@@CarsWithKeav Nope! RPM: revolution per minute means by definition how many times a full turn (360°) is achieved in one minute. 1 Pol has to do a fulll 360° to achieve a 360° turn, 2pol 180° for each pol to achieve a 360° turn. 4pol 90° for each pol to achieve a 360° turn. ........... It does not matter if 1pol, 2pol, 4,pol, 6pol the goal is always 360°! the work load is just beeing divided by the pols.
@@julientaylor Thanks for the info! In the end motor works less to do the task is all that matters.
If you had to make a choice between the big boy pro or the Krenzel power washer, which one would you say? Which one wins the battle going to make a choice of which one I am going to buy. I pre-ordered the pro still have not received it. Thinking of Cancel it and just go with the Krenzel.
I have never used a Kranzle before to know. Just never bit the bullet to pay that much money. Kranzle is proven to be good and more available parts. Performance wise they are close Big Boi might be a bit better there. Big Boi is new to the market so any issues could take a bit to resolve. If you have the money you can’t go wrong with the Kranzle.
What is the best pressure washer for mostly car detailing but u can use it around the house thats on a cart? Not all of us have a garage where we can mount it on a wall. I rent my house so wall mounting is not an option.
I myself would get a tool cart and put the pressure washer on it add some hooks for my hose and power cord and go crazy if not the Big Boi does have casters as an accessory to add wheels to the bottom. For around the house and car I think the Pro models of the Ryobi and Greenworks are quite good. They don't have start stop, but they get great pressure and flow for around $350 and its built like a gas pressure washer with big wheels and a handle.
How does the Pro works with a 1.2 orifice foam cannon?
Will work just fine all the way up to a 1.4 should foam great.
Could you tell me the size of the footprint? L x W? I'm trying to see if it'll fit on my current shelf. Their website just shows box dimensions. Great video!

@@CarsWithKeav You're the man! Thank you! Go dawgs!
Hey Keav, after testing Ar630 and Big Boi Pro, are there any significant performance differences? I’m not concerned about weight, amps or price. Which did you like better? You seemed a little more pumped in your AR630 review. I’m getting the AR630. This one has me second guessing.
If you got a 20AMP go AR630. Better performance and just industry wide known to be reliable.
@@CarsWithKeav Thanks brother. That’s what I was thinking.
Hey Keav. .you likely get tons of hits on your channel. They ship from Buford Ga.
Yeah, it’s around the Buford/Braselton Border. My tracking said Braselton the whole time from pickup to facility to house. 🤣 Picked up and delivered in 24 hours.
@CarsWithKeav I was wondering who Iamjoshv or you Keav to demonstrate WASHERPRO unit.
Bloopers were funny. Totally enjoy your channel.
I do need advise for deionized water system that will not break the bank😢
@@CAPTJ696 That’s tough depends on your tds as some cheap systems just will have to be refilled constantly with high tds. Big Boi has one coming waiting for it to become available.
Hi Keav, Im in Australia and the price of the Bigboi Pro and Active 2.0 is similar. Which one would you choose?
In Australia with the 230v I would go with the Big Boi Pro would be way more performance. Plus, service and parts would be much easier there as well since that is where Big Boi is located.
Awesome, thanks heaps Keav. Am I right in saying that Flexzilla wouldn't be suitable for the Bigboi unit due to its Flexibility?
@@harlonschannel6126 I am unsure the Active 2.0 has issues so I have just been going by a general rule to stay with steel braided for anything over 1.5gpm.
@CarsWithKeav Good to know. Thanks again Keav. Appreciate your help.
I just ordered mine in Australia as a full kit with snow canon for AUD$863 Delivered
What didnt you like about the gun and hose other than the gun size.
I like to use my own hoses that I like. Didn’t want to spend and find out it wasn’t what I wanted. I could tell right away based on some videos and pics the spray gun was really bulky. I like them very slim and lightweight.
Awesome thanks for your reply this will get me by for a little while what brand hose and gun do you like. Price isn't an issue
@@tarantmurray1929 I like Blushield Kevlar 3/8 hose and MTM SGS28 gun
@CarsWithKeav cheers mate appreciate the reply I'll check them out :)
Thanks! What PSI did you get with the 4.5?
850
What is a unloader valve?
It’s a way to relieve pressure on the pump, you can turn down to have less output from the machine as well.
Does it have a device so you can see the hours?
It does not. Have not seen one on any electric pressure washer I have seen so far.
I still am pretty much a noob when it comes to pressure washers and psi & gpm. I have a GreenWorks 1900 PSI 1.2 GPM electric pressure washer with a few of my preferred upgrades, and it works phenomenally for washing my vehicles at home. I don't know about the amps it draws but from all my time using it, I've never had it trip the breaker, most likely because my little pressure washer that could isn't the strongest, but then again, i don't see why anyone would need such a strong pressure washer for detailing vehicles. I must be missing something. As long as my pressure washer can produce thick foam with my MJJC Foam Cannon S v3.0, and rinse the vehicles off perfectly fine, my GreenWorks electric pressure washer is more than perfect.
Someone please shed some knowledge on me, I'd really like to know why the fancier, higher priced pressure washers are highly sought after. Of course quality is part of it, but what other reasons?
@TheAnointedOne7, Here's the the different, all those budget PW have about a 100 hour run time, and they are done. Something like Active 2.0 will give you double the life span. at double the price and get you close to 2 gpm . Which helps you work faster For weekend warriors what you have may be all you ever want or need, while a detailer wants to get that foam off the car as fast as they can, to move onto the next step. Time is money. Your 100 hour run time could last you 10 yrs, where as a detailer could see 100 hours in a few short months to a year, depending how busy they are.
Thanks for answering that comment so well. Exactly what I would have said. Appreciate you helping them out!
seabreezeof responded with great info on this and I just wanted to say it’s a want vs a need for most the Greenworks is fine and some of us just want the best. Some like expensive shoes and coffee I like pressure washers. 🤣 like stated as a profession time is money and not just efficiency, but down time from a broken pressure washer. Commercial units are built to last longer.
I got mine on Wed and I think mine may be defective. The pump turns on but doesn't actually pump with pressure. If I fiddle with the output power knob a little, I may get one strong pressure flow but if I release the trigger and the TSS stops the pump, it won't pump at full pressure again unless I mess with the output power knob again.
It's weird... the pump shuts off like it should and when I pull the trigger, it comes on but doesn't actually pump with pressure. Oil level is good and the red cap was replaced with the included breather cap, hose pressure to the unit is good, etc... Really disappointed for dropping $700 on this. Hopefully their customer service can sort things out but until then, it's back to the Active 2.0.
Is this with the stock nozzles? What kind of hose are you using? Trying to see if anything stand out. Several in the comments have had other things and said customer service was very quick to react. Hope they can get this resolved quickly.
@@CarsWithKeavstock nozzles and the hose that came with my Active2.0.
I have an uberflex on a reel that I normally use but can’t see why the Active hose wouldn’t also work.
@@FastRedPonyCar Weird you don't happen to have any 3/8 hoses you could try? I know they suggest a 3/8 hose, but unsure if that would be an issue.
@@CarsWithKeav Nope. any brand preference if they suggest using a 3/8” hose? I guess I’d need to get a bigger hose whip too.
@@FastRedPonyCar Not sure if you should invest any money yet till Big Boi responds. No use in wasting money if you don’t need to. The gray non marking hose on Amazon is a good buy it’s around $73. amzn.to/3JuPNI6
don't like in and out fittings so close together!!
Me neither! I like the inlet on the side and output out the front or back.
Keav what pressure washer hose do you recommend for the big boi washer pro. 😮
I like the Blushield Kevlar hose heavy duty, but the lightest 3/8 hose out there.
Nices! Thank you
Thanks for bringing it up... I so got detailing bug and last thing for me to get was the pressure washer
So I am open to active 2.3 . Is it just better to get that one for the long run than the 2.0? Or what will give me the most for my $? . I wanna get a good one.
Best for the money is the Active 2.0. The money you save over the 2.3 would pay for the majority of a good setup. 2.3 is one of those wants and is amazing, but it of course costs more.
Ok, tell me which do I get, active 2.3 or bigboi 😢
We will know soon my 2.3 delivers today.
@@CarsWithKeav can’t wait to see it
lol Stop it! Hey have you done any videos on maintenance for serviceable power washer unit? I guess it's just drain oil and refill, done? Thanks for the review on that 60lb beast.
I have not yet, but sounds like something to do in the big comparison video I’ll be doing after all these units are reviewed.
@@CarsWithKeav Sounds like a plan to me lol
Mine should be here tomorrow..
Awesome!
Did you get a ship notification? I never even got a tracking number, ship notification or any type of update.
@@mikezupancic2182 I got no notification that it shipped or anything just got a notification from the shop app that it was delivering that day. By the time I got the notification of tracking it had already been picked up and moved multiple times.

Awesome! Hopefully it works out for you!
Im new to pressure washer, if you were to choose which one will you buy.
Bigboi washr pro or
Ar blue clean 620
Thanks
Are you in the U.S.? I would always pick the AR630 over the AR620 as it has a brass pump head which is more durable and corrosion resistant. The 620 has an aluminum pump head. I would also spring for the TSS version which has auto start stop so the motor isn’t running all the time. If in the U.S. I would pick AR simply due to the Big Boi Pro having issues with the 110v power grid. They stopped shipping here a few months ago to fix the issue and the newest version has not been released yet. I would let it release in the U.S. for a bit to see if they fixed the problem. If oversea and on a 230v the Big Boi Pro I hear is pretty good.
@@CarsWithKeav im not in the u s and bigboi washr pro and 620 are available in our country and they are in 220v
@@henrysilos7343 AR is known to be more reliable so I would always go that route. I am not very versed in equipment outside the U.S. though.
@@CarsWithKeav how about the ar blue clean 650 any thoughts, Thank you
@@henrysilos7343 I would still take the AR630 their numbers for models the higher number isn’t always better. 630 has better numbers for washing cars.
Active 2.0 or the iBigBoi Pro?
Would the upgrade be worth it? Or should I keep the Active 2.0?
All depends on volume of use really. Pro is designed to be used for very long periods of time. It is not much more performance than a 2.0, but uses less electricity as well. Sound is better to me with the Pro. Video on the Active 2.3 comes out today at noon it is very good.
@@CarsWithKeav Yeah I figured. I'm just starting a detailing business this week. I might just go with the Active 2.0!
Also, another question, do I get the 4.0 Nozzle from McKillans or the 5.0 Oracle pack from ObsessedGarage?
@@lowtrusted 2.0 I would stick with the 4.0 nozzles. It’s a good machine to start out with then you can upgrade down the road. Verdict is still out of Big Boi and the new 2.3 as to how well they hold up over time.
Keav are there any updates with the BigBoi washr pro for the US? There are a lot of people concerned but the long run reliability of 5his product for US buyers?
I have not heard anything for a few weeks now. I sent them some videos of me reproducing the problem over and over. I think they have no idea what to do right now and are being silent until they do. I did run the unit for multiple washes just to see my problems were just an annoyance with the hum I was able to fix by just turning the unit on and off a few times. Others though have not been able to use yet. They said they are holding new shipments until they can resolve this.
Excellent review on the Bigboi Washr Pro. It will be an interesting comparison to the Active 2.3. I hope you get an opportunity to review the Bigboi D-IONIZR2. I would like to see how it compares to the CR Spotless Deionizer before I make a purchasing decision.
The minute it’s available to purchase I will be getting their DI system.
Biggest difference between the pro and 2.3 is noise. 2.3 has superior performance, but the pro with its overengineered motor and pump just do it so effortless it’s much quieter.
@@CarsWithKeavhow superior is the 2.3 performance?
My washr pro should arrive today. I have 15 amp. I may return the big boi return for the 2.3 depending on reviews. The noise of the washr seems way better, though. And the hose reel option tipped me over the edge when deciding on that unit. Might keep the hose reel regardless of whether I end up with the 2.3 vs the washr pro
@@stevenreiman5601 let’s just say the 2.3 lives up to its name. The pro has the best sound by far. Active is coming out with some kind of hose reel system as well at some point.
@@CarsWithKeav Oy, I just reached out to bigboi to return. If FedEx can reroute it back before delivery, great, otherwise I’ll return it. Now the question is when will active sell the 2.3 without the kit? When they release on the 22nd do you think it will sell as a standalone? Otherwise I’ll just buy the 2.3 kit now and use their hose instead of my uberflex.
Keav - let me know if you wanna sell this ill pay you cost minus depreciation and that hook a brother up discount, dope video man thanks for spending your money to show us the goods #realbroke
I found out a secret about this unit from Big Boi themselves. When I retest I might want to keep it.
@@CarsWithKeav bruh
@@CarsWithKeav you can’t drop that and go to sleep
First!!!
Always first in my book!
800 quid? For some car washing? Come on…
Nobody’s making though do it, you can stick to ol reliables at your local hardware stores
We all have wants and needs. Some like expensive shoes, coffee, food or clothes. I like high end pressure washers. 🤣
The name is still the one thing I can't stand. Of all the names they could have used they came up with Big Boi with an "i" 🤦🏼♂️what are they still in high school or somethin? 😭
Australian company might have something to do with that.
the names unique unlike all these other brands
@@geestef123 It's not a bad name to me, but unique not so sure about that. There are lots of businesses called Big Boi and even a famous rap artist.
Seems feminine to me.
"Something” ? Did you just graduate?
Italian design, made in China 😭😂
Gets me every time.
The fact that it's the same price or more than the AR 630 and the active 2.3 removes it off the list for me
It has its place just depends on needs. This would be great in a high volume business just do to its longevity.
What would be a reason to wait for the 17 amp version if it does come out?
Should have more performance would be the only thing higher amp will get you that isn’t already being delivered. Could raise the noise level some, but would t know until actually tested. They stated before taking down off their site that the 17amp can do 2.4 gpm.
Thanks for a great review! I’m interested in what this is like compared to a Kranzle - any thoughts?
It’s slightly better in performance, but the Kranzle to me is built way better. Of course the Big Boi is much less in price. They had issues with the first version in the U.S. so they halted any new sales and now have a version 2 called the MK2 they will be selling in the U.S. in the near future.
@@CarsWithKeavinteresting thanks so much!
Got the US version and could not make it to work. It started for a few second and the breaker on the plug stripped. I checked and noticed it drawer close to 2800w upon start up. Even my 20amp outlet could not handle it. Did some research and found out others also had similar issues. Contacted their customer service and waiting for their response.
I know they are working on it. I have the hum issue sporadically turning on and off multiple times it will work. It spikes amps when it hums. Looks to be sure to low voltage causing the motor to work extra hard to get going. 4 pole motors take much more to get going. I don’t think they understood the American electrical grid and the inconsistent voltage we have.
Great video Keav but not a Fan if the Big Boi .
Right now joy the biggest fan either. Hopefully they solve their problems.
interesting, want to know how the quality is compared to active. I was annoyed with the Active 2.0 Debacle and surging issues, then the stupid push button issues. But, Active does have good warranty however and they respond to customers.
Question did you use an Uberflex or Flexzilla hose with your 2.0? Quality is excellent and the Active 2.3 looks to be a way better build than the 2.0 for sure.
Looks like a great unit. I may just for now upgrade to a active 2.0 but am really looking at getting the Bigboi water dionizer system which changed my mind from a CR spotless.
I’ll be getting that deionizer when it comes out to review looks interesting as a better option than a cr spotless. Nothing wrong with a 2.0.
I have an Uberflex should I not use it with this it’s a 1/4 hose 50 foot
Not saying you can’t use it, but it will impact machine of this type of performance. Active actually stated that Flexzilla and Uberflex are not recommended due to them being so flexible they expand and contract in size with this much flow causing the pressure switch to not work correctly. You need braided heavy duty hoses.
Did Big Boi send you the WASHR PRO USA Performance Adjustment direction? I tested mine last weekend and it did not meet specs much like yours didn't. They sent me the direction tonight but I am out of town for the week so I cannot try and see if this will work.
It worked! Video will be out at noon today! I was able to get the stated numbers on the box at 14.45 amps. 1200 PSI at 1.95 GPM. Raised the overall max GPM with a 4.5 nozzle to 2.12 GPM at 930 PSI.
Interesting information. My pro should arrive tomorrow. I’ll look out for your next video. I saw your Active 2.3 video today. Great gpm numbers. I’m tempted to use your discount code so i can grab one. Lol…So many cool machines.
I also asked why the info on the website states the unit comes with 4.0 orifice but actually come with 3.5. Did not get an answer on that. Did you try a 4.0 on the next video?
@@chavezsergio4496 hopefully I get some more codes I sold out all three batches they gave me today.
