I couldn't recommend the Active 2.0 enough when compared to the Kranzle. Really good value for the money. The only downside of the Active 2.0 is its weight when unmounted and it takes an extra 5 seconds for the pump to turn off when the trigger is released. The Kranzle is a guaranteed Rolls Royce. Let me know if you have any questions!
I have the active 2.0 and the noise level has never bothered me at all. The performance for the price absolutely cannot be beat.
I couldn’t agree more!
How long have you had it because I'm thinking about buying but online users are saying it breaks after a couple uses.
@@gabrielvalentin4509 I've had it for over a year with no issues at all. Generally weekly washes on both my car and my wife's. No signs of any trouble and amazing performance for the price. I would definitely buy another one if and when this one gives up the ghost. I've used AR Blue machines and this one easily matches the performance that matters to me. No it's not serviceable, but it's a great unit and well worth the cost.
Fantastic vid! That active 2.0 looks like the winner based on my budget 😂
It’s a great product!!!
As a detailer for the last 30yrs, my go to unit is Kranzle 1122 which I have been using for about 25yrs..and it's still going. To me the more water output the better and faster you finish and no mater how powerful your pressure washer is or how much water it moves...you still have to put the wash mitt on the vehicle body, unless you're dusting it. So after yrs of detailing I have figured out one thing and that is using a pressure washer more that just foaming is a waste of time and energy because nothing moves more water that just using a garden hose with a quality sprayer, so why use a pressure washer if I can rinse the whole vehicle 3-10X faster than any pressure washer. Rinse off with a hose, foam with a descent pressure washer, rinse off with hose, foam again with pressure washer and wash mitt the car with 2 bucket system and rinse off with hose and dry with a leaf blower. I do my wife Mustang daily driver under 45min and my Model X under 20min. I use only Eley hose and sprayer products and Griot's foam cannon, with my 25yrs old Kranzle and dry with ego blower. if you're a mobile detailer, than yes buy 2 Active 2.0 just incase 1 fails. Thanx for the video and your time. Just wanted to get my 2 cents in...have a great day
This was really great feedback! Amazing your Kranzle is going strong after 25 years. That’s incredible. And yes there is no higher GPM than just water straight out of the hose.
Snow foam first.Never rinse off fist as you are diluting the snow snow and you are not allowing the foam to do it's job. And 2 bucket method is not great either. 10 mitts and 1 bucket. You can not get all the dirt off the mitt with grit guards... most but not all. Use a separate mitt for every part of the vehicle.
I personally went with OG’s ultimate bundle for the Kranzle. It’s pricey but the build quality and performance are godlike.
OG only sells quality stuff! Fully support your decision :)
Kleenrite is the way to go. Same products for much less
Kranzle does look like an awesome machine.
It’s such a beast. I just like that you can buy quality once and move on.
Neighbor comes up to me whil trying to wash my Truck…. I’m thinking please get away from me, I’m trying to finish as quickly as possible before the sun goes down
that or you get a "can you do mine next?"
@@DasCaymanEVERY G-DAMN TIME!!!! Sooo annoying!!!!
great video. I love my active 2.0 both solid choices. Props to the cameraman for holding those pose. 😂
Thank you!
I have my $99 Ryobi at my basement and make a quick connect on my siding which is super quiet. I setup a wifi plug for water and pressure washer which can be turn on/off remotely whenever needed.
That's a great solution! I did the same thing with my Husky air compressor.
I have to Pressure Washer, 2.0 I love that pressure washer best thing ever it’s powerful and it’s good so far I had it for a year
Probably the best power washer for the money
Been thinking about upgrading to one of these but think I’m going to pick up a AR 630TSS. Great video!
Tough choice. What’s your application? Professional or home use?
@@DasCayman Just home use. Mostly vehicle washing. Weight is an issue since have to carry it up and down stairs
@@user-tg3gv6ty9v I’d 100% recommend the Active 2.0 then for you. Super light weight and I have zero complaints on performance even when compared to my Kranzle
@@DasCayman Thanks. I’ll be waiting to see if any Black Friday sales
@@DasCayman Ended up with the AR 630. Found soli d BF deal and feel like it was the best choice for me
Great video! I have the 1322 wall mount solution and I love it!
You should update the video. The 2.0 requires the wirebraded hose, which came with the unit. The correct hose eliminates the pulse and allows the instant stop. The 2.0 is rated for 200 hours and Active sells the stuff you need to change the oil and fix it if it breaks. You also need to be careful with the diameter of the orifice in the foam cannon and nozzles because if they're to small the motor can burn out from the increased amp draw. No matter what it's also a little louder. The Krenzle must have that 20amp circuit, changing the oil is way easier and the unit works with flexzilla type non wiremesh hoses. I think the Krenzla is therefore all around a little better unit but the question is do you think it's worth paying four times the price? Probably worth it if you use it to earn a living but probably not if you're washing a couple of cars or RVs on the weekends.
Great summary!!!
Great video, thank you. I was curious about some thing. You foam washed the car, then sprayed it off. But then you washed it again with the sponge? It seems like the foam wash would be enough, no?
Very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I bought the Active 2.0 for proof of concept. Wanted to see if I liked pressure washing/foam cannon. I do, so now I'm in the market for AR or Kranzle. Did you consider the AR at any point? I realize they need a 20A receptacle as well, which I have covered. I have seen a few reviews from guys claiming to own both that say they end up using the AR more.
I felt like if I was going to spend $750 on an AR… I was going to bridge that gap to a Kranzle
@@DasCaymanMoney is not the object for me. I've seen more than one review where a guy claims to own both and likes the AR better. Apparently more power/GPM and most importantly, less known for oil leaks. But I'm not convinced.
@@ILruffian yeah I haven’t run it. Kranzle was always the end game power washer for me. Wanted to help others who don’t have the extra $1k to spend. Both have same performance. But, money no object I like the build and sound of the Kranzle better
@@DasCaymanDefinitely sounds better. That said, I'm seeing 1.9GPM for Kranzle and 2.3 for AR. Don't think I can go wrong either way.
Great video man! I’ve been very happy with my Active 2.0
It’s incredible value for the money
thanks the 2.0 looks like the smart mans option. same performance for 1/3 the price.
The 2.0 is a disposable unit. The 1122 is one time purchase.
Washing cars puts me in my zen - I don’t want to talk to anyone while I’m detailing. And I listen to music so there’s that.
I am 100% with you. If I 'can' be alone then I prefer that. But if my schedule only allows that I can catch up with a friend while washing my car, then I get to do 2 things at once :)
My Active 2.0 did not even last a year before the motor went out...
Same here
Good feedback. Thank you. How often did you use?
@@DasCayman I just maintain my own cars 2 cars maybe once a week or every other week, but active did replace my old unit free of charge with out any hassle, but the replacement one is now starting to act up
@@Thegrubsyndicate13 wow that’s really disappointing to hear. At least they took care of you!
How long did it take for them to send you out a new one?
Thanks for the vid, I’ve been watching OG’s videos and have analysis paralysis. The link you included for the Kranzle seems to be for the 1622TS rather than the 1322TS. Can you clarify? I believe the 1322TS is demoed in the video but was under the impression it can only be bought through OG. Thanks!
Yeah that link is wrong unfortunately...I honestly didn't catch that when I was setting up my links. I'll be sure to change that. You do want the 1322TS and not the 1622TS if you were to go the Kranzle route. Thanks for the feedback!
I really like this video.. the problem is when I live all this stuff never sell them but if Home Depot carries them they can’t get it
Can you order on Amazon?
@@DasCayman maybe shipp its same coust of the pressure washer
What car shampoo for the foam cannon are you using? Thank you for your videos!
I buy from an industrial supply 5 gal jugs. But I also use amzn.to/426xGk7 Really any name brand soap will work with the MJJC V3
Thanks… I was reading to see if enyone asking about soap yesss😅
Excuse me, what is that red and black piece on the end of your water hose?
I used to use the metal ones but after a season or two they corrode and get stuck. I’ve switch to these and couldn’t be happier amzn.to/3tQJvhO
@@DasCayman Thank you so much, I've purchased them and love them!!
Anyone looking for a unit for daily use go with the ar630tst. Provides similar quality and build but with superior performance and output compared to this kranzle. Plus you will save a couple hundred bucks.
Definitely a good middle option between these two
great washes but I think Active would be like 250$ as it's still just a sealed discardable unit that must be replaced so I keep getting the Karch k1700 cube or Cryobi 1800 psi from home depot for 98$ with 2 year warranty included. in the end it doesn't matter. spend a grand on the kranzle that lasts 10 yrs. or get 10 Ryobis for 1000. but the Ryobi is easily swapped with warranty so you get 2 for 1 essentially. no doubt the Krazle is king but the Ryobi will clean your car the same. I run a Northstar electric unit at home. it was 749$ total stop I get 970psi at 2.2 gpm eith a 5.0 tip. regardless of what people think there are other washers of similar 0rice that give it a run for its $ for less cost
Yep. At the end of the day these will all wash your car. Just depends how well, fast, and easy it will be for the end user.
I agree, I have been using the Karcher 1800 cube, usually get a year or so out of it. Honestly for me being a diy, weekend warrior it does perfectly fine. With this being said I’m very tempted to get the 2.0. Unless I hit the lottery and have more money then I know what to do with, I’ll most likely never spend $1000+ on a pressure washer to clean my cars 🤷♂️
@JohnD15317 get a couple green nozzle tips orifice size 3.0 and 3.5 this will lower your psi to 700 to 850psi more than enough to clean car. and get your gpm flow to 1.5 gpm which you can feel and pressure wash car way faster. cost is 12$ 💪
@@stephenlouden480 I will look into those, thanks! 👍👍
The active 2.0 how many hours till it seizes up
My cat I got 27 car washes
They say the 2.0 is 2 time better
That’s 60 washes
I think Kranzle better and will last a lot longer
And I can get replacement parts what do I want to keep wasting money on under 500 junks
That's a good point!
Can’t you just remember how much is 4 gallons and fill it to that level without a fancy device?
The thing is you can set it and walk away and it turns off for you.
Is it worth another tool/attachment to shut off the water flow to your rinse bucket? I just adjust the flow to a relatively low setting allowing me enough time to set up my other accessories. I don't think it's worth another tool for that. An considering the Kranzle is 4x the Active, I think the Active is good enough for an enthusiast.
It’s a luxury item. Not everyone needs one. Just one less thing I have to worry about.
What hose QD are you using? I have QDs for the pressure washer end, but not for the garden hose. And are they metal or plastic?
I used to use the metal ones but after a season or two they corrode and get stuck. I’ve switch to these and couldn’t be happier amzn.to/3tQJvhO
Awesome video man! What garden hoses do you use?
Thank you! I use this and then cut it down to custom lengths amzn.to/3TzRDgW
Then use these metal fittings: amzn.to/41w5JSF
With these quick disconnects: amzn.to/3tvDUNI
much appreciated thank you! Have you had any issues with those disconnects? Can I also ask what 90 elbow/connections you have on your Kranzle inlet? That looks much more functional for a wall mounted setup.
@@charger540 no issues at all! I prefer these over the metal actually. Easier to connect / disconnect and they don’t corrode or get stuck after a year of use. Here is the 90: amzn.to/3REFdlk
Does the collomix remember your last setting? It would be kind if annoying to have to set it to 4 gallons every time you use it. Cool gadget, i have never seen that before.
yes it has two memory functions. I do 3.5gal for my soap bucket and 4.0 gal for my rinse bucket. You can dose in liters, quarts, or gallons
@@DasCayman thanks, that's really cool
Can the suction hose been to long on the kranzle 2160 cause it to lose pressure
1 Kranzle vs 4 avtive 2.0
No brainer
Active 2.0 had amazing results. I'd love to "sell" a more expensive product, but the performance was the same.
What pre maintenance for the active 2.0 should i do ...
Just ordered the pressure washer from Adam's polishes with upgraded kit ...
People are saying Bleed The pressure washer before use every time ?
Or simply connect and ready to wash ???
Connect and ready to wash. Some air might dispel in first couple seconds but you’re good to go.
Can the 2.0 be used for a mobile detailing with water tank?
@@CarolCityCane305 yes! I just can’t speak to it being used 5 times a day for a couple years straight.
The 2.0 has a lifespan of 400 hours.
Tbh not bad
Imagine hooking up 4 active 2.0 to the same hose? It would be the same price as a kranzle. You would get 8 gallons a minute 😂
You’d need a big hose!!!
@@DasCayman yeah thats for sure lol
They dont work in tandem like the AR blue or kranzle.
@@whitegoodman7465 why not?
@@whitegoodman7465why do you think that? Of course they can work in tandem
No protection on the Porsche. That hood had no hydrophobics
Correct!
But can you use the 2.0 in a mobile detailing setup?
100%, I've seen people use Sun Joe lmao. What's nice about the Active 2.0 is that it weighs nothing compared to the Kranzle so it's easy to take in and out of your van if needed.
Thinking of pulling the trigger on the Kranzle 1322TS. Just so expensive. Can you compare the noise level of it to something relative? Great review!
It’s really quiet. The sound of the water exiting the nozzle is louder than the machine. Same noise level as maybe a dryer tumbling in the background.
It’s definitely a luxury purchase. If you do end up buying it, it would mean so much if you used the link in my description. Helps the channel and at no additional cost to you 🙏🏻
It’s how I personally pay for these reviews. I’m not sponsored.
The new active unit is coming out soon. If you can’t wait I would go with the ar630 as it is built just as well as the kranzle but provides better output
Does the Kranzle require 20amp or is 15amp good enough?
It’s not a guarantee you’ll need 20 amp. I suspect 15 is good enough, but I don’t want to over promise you. There are plenty of cases where people ran 15 amp with no issues.
2.0 sound is annoying, seems fixed with the induction motor for the 2.3. Also shuts off instantly.
That's really good to know!
Great review! I’m sick of pulling pressure washers around and over . I need a Kranzle
Thank you!!
Sounds like you just need a hose reel. Not a whole new pw unit
Does the 2.0 need to be gravity feed?
As opposed to pressure fed?
How many feet was your pressure washer kobrajet hose?
50 foot. I feel like for me, 60-75 would be perfect so I could get further down the driveway. I feel like 100’ would be too heavy
Wuaooooohhhh you get a lot money
i think you love to hear your voice cuz the only noise which i can hear is your voice. because of your noisy voice i cant make different between the two pumps. next time when you make video please try to be quiet specialy when you test some noice on the pumps. good quality video but nonse test
Unfortunately the mic I used was programmed to drown out background noise / noise that is not coming from within 3 feet of it. Live and learn...
So your paying an extra $1000 for a machine that just quieter??
"yes," but what you don't see is the reliability of the Kranzle on the long term. But like I mentioned, you can buy 4x Active 2.0's for 1 Kranzle. There's also a paper weight analogy here somewhere too. You can use a cheap piece of plastic or a solid bar of gold. One has better build quality but both do the same function.
Are your Garden hose quick disconnects plastic???
Yes!
oh wow, and they perform well?@@DasCayman
3.5 oz of soap is a lot… try doing 1 oz you’ll get the same result
Just going by the manufacturer recommended settings :)
You get what you pay for. Active 2.0 is a consumable, you'll be trashing it in 2-3 years - the Kranzle is for life with a little maintenance.
The ar630 is the better pw unit. Has higher gpm output while having similar build quality and you’ll save a couple hundred bucks
the Kranzle is light years ahead of the active or anything else when it comes to car detailing . been using my 1322ts for over 3 years with daily use with no issues . The cheaper ones sound like a rat screaming , hurts my ears
Tbh I prefer the Kranzle for the noise and ergonomics alone. Longevity is the question, but like I mentioned you can buy 3-4x Active 2.0's for one Kranzle 1322TS. Since I wasn't on a budget I went with the Kranzle, love it. Especially since you can send hot water through it.
lol how did you come up with the idea kranzle is light years ahead? Especially when the AR has similar build quality, produces higher output and is cheaper than kranzle?
The hot water?
@@YuriTarded-hf1nv
You need protection on your car lol
Seriously. Cayman is the workhorse though, not a show car.
I just dont get it. Yes you can fix the Kranzle, but... how much do parts cost for it? I bet the replacement parts cost more than the active 2.0. I want the Kranzle soooo bad, or the AR Blue. But like you said. The active 2.0 can be completely replaced 4 times before you spend what just 1 krenzle would cost... and if the krenzle fails before 4 actives fail, you are even more in debt with the Krenzle. Super tough decision but i feel like it should be an easy one. So why am i struggling to decide 😂😂
I think it boils down to disposable income and/or how critical the power washer is to your business (if you have one). I will say, the Kranzle feels and runs so much smoother than the Active 2.0, BUT, the washing results are the same.
I like my Kranzle because I never have to have an "upgrade" thought in the back of my head ever again. 1st world problems!
each and every wash you do with the Kranzle will be more enjoyable, that alone is worth $$$. And knowing that you have the Ferrari of pressure washers is another comforting factor
@@JC-dc9oz yeah, if you have the means, using a high quality tool is very satisfying. But I won’t knock anyone if they want to save $1k.
@@DasCaymanthe same would go for units like this active or ar?
1200 dollars it better do all of that and Wash the dam dishes. Not friggin worth it at all.
A $50 watch tells the same time as a $50,000 watch
You pronounce Kranzle about 4 different ways throughout this video. lol
A broken clock is right at least twice a day?
Japanese?. Really 😂 thats made in China 😂
Said Japanese on the manual. I tried!
Cran zel, not krinzler. Second american ive seen bastardise the name.
I say Kranz-la
