Yep, no kidding. First of all, *all* pressure washers, even this one need a nozzle on it (which restricts flow) to give any appreciable pressure. Secondly, it's over $500. So how is its performance "completely unmatched at this price point" then? 🙄 Can easily get a gas washer way cheaper than this that will perform as well. It won't be as compact and be electric, but still there are very few electric pressure washers that cost this kind of money. Whole thing is a sham, this guy definitely got this for free from the manufacturer. Otherwise is just talking foolishness.
@@bobmarley2140plus $150, not $200. Also despite this video being an ad for their products, hes actually correct. For the quality and power of this pressure washer, the price is insanely low and tocmake it better, its not even cheaply made. Mine has lasted me 7 years and still feels like how it did when i got it.
Yes, pressure goes down. But that's only if water is let to speed up more freely. Here water ( fluid + ambient fluids+ surface barrier) jet is restricted . Like the ground-effect manifest.
How often do you use it? If you only use it once a month for 30 minutes yes harbor freight washer will last you but run it for 6-8 hours a day and see if it lasts a week 😅
@@jjstopka89 The one in the video isn't commercial grade either and who's running any pressure washer for more then 30 minutes continuously or 6/8 hours a day to wash a car I use mine during the spring summer and fall and also use it to wash two cars two motorcycles and a travel trailer I have at a campground so all in all it gets used 2 to 3 times a month during those months it's doing everything I want it to I'm just washing my cars not running a commercial car wash it is what it is all 99 bucks of it lol
@@ZEBEE0110 jetter? Lmao 15gpm would tear up anything I wash. Unless you're splitting to two outputs. Try touching a semi with that, you'll peel off the paint 🤣 wouldn't be surprised if that damaged concrete
Laughs in trailer mounted commercial bunch of gallons super strong pushes me over I’m 6’2 with burner and soap that could melt the shit crusted in Joe Bidens diaper.
@austint1151 yep no idea where people are pulling these numbers from. No one, ever, washes a car with those numbers. This is an electric pressure washer, not petrol or diesel. That stuffs for house cleaning not cars
@@teamidris Was it on a car you painted on your driveway? HIgh pressure washers have been used for a LONG time without this happening so no, it does not happen unless that should be removed anyway and redone.
@@michaelmay5453I’ve had paint chip off a 2 year old car from several feet away. They aren’t going to damage paint- but it can certainly ripped off trash paint
@@michaelmay5453 No, I did the van in sections and as soon and the colour coat was dry I blasted on the two-pack clear coat. It was an 80’s Mercedes diesel car that my mate Darren blew the clear coat off the rear wing :o)
@@RICARD01 And guess what, even on shitty cheapest pressure washers I've never had any issues with having a good foam as long as I used a good soap. So gallons per minute is irrelevant when it's not a limiting factor even on the lowest of the lowest quality and performing pressure washers.
@IMNOTA it's all subjective, bud. What you call GOOD foam vs someone else is the key. You're paying less for the total setup, so you're willing to be okay with shitty results. Lol.
Yeah for the cost of $350+ I will stay with my ryobi keeps going strong after 3 years and the turbo nozzle tip is amazing! If it does go bad I can just get another one for $100
Ryobi makes a 2.3gpm washer for $200-$250 idk where he figures it's performance is unmatched but I'll admit the reviews on that machine are all saying it's amazing but it is t cheap like he says here it's expensive
Quit comparing a home depot pressure washer to this..most here see the cheapest shit and they think its the same as a product that costs 3x that much for good reason..
Lol I'm also a pressure washer mechanic. I don't work on these small ones though, with my labor rate it'd be cheaper to replace. I do commercial washers and custom trailer builds.
How is there enough work in your guys areas to make a living? Are you only fixing pressure washers? Is there thousands of pressure wash companies in your area or something?
As a pressure washing business owner….this thing pretty cool. 2gpm on that lil thang? Shocker. But promise if that thing ever breaks your it’s going to be quite the headache.
I used to detail with a $80 sun joe electric pressure washer gravity fed by a 20 gallon water tank, a $120 2000watt generator. Had a whole mobile rig for under $400 lol
Dude, those quick connects are next level. I have a beastly pressure washer and rarely use it since it requires so much setup time. Thanks bro, keep it 💯
I would recommend getting the quick connections off of the feed hose. It's worth the extra setup time to make sure there are no leaks. A leak on the pump supply means air in the line. When the pump is running, that means cavitation in the chambers, and the seal cups will wear prematurely, tear, or get hot and extrude, causing low pressure and eventually failure. Cool little unit.
If you take a regular pressure washer apart, you will see that the actual motor and pump are very small and they just install it in a larger plastic housing.
Pressure washers were never known for gpm, part of the selling point before was being able to wash something with less water usage. I wouldn’t pressure wash an engine with a higher gpm pressure washer.
When he compares to price point it’s because it’s extremely expensive for non commercial use. But if you never include the price it makes you think that it’s in the range of others. Its not, might as well look at commercial pressure washers at that point.
I paid 40$ for my used 1900psi Ryobi 2 years ago so since I don't have 2.3 gpm I bought a Y and run another hose with a spray nozzle and that gets about 10 gpm.
I paid 50 bucks from my pressure washer at home depot they had a special which you can always find its sunjoe and works awesome i also upgraded the fitting and gun works like the commercial here
I can tell by looking at it that my little CHEAP portable washer is stronger than this one!!!!😂 this one wouldn't even knock a bug off of a hood!!!!!😂 And and and with all the fitting im sure he's got $1,000.00 in it!😢
Let’s be honest. It takes HP to move water. If the machine pulls 13a @110 volts it does about the same pressure and volume as any other model at the same current. If your limited to electric 110v pressure washers and need the maximum pressure/volume look for one that requires a 20a 110v circuit. I like to search for them by weight. If it’s light weight it’s junk. 50-60lbs is a good start. This pump does what I’d expect at that current. If it’s reliable and the duty cycle fits your needs give it go. That’s my 2 cents.
The GPM output can’t be higher than your GPM input from your garden hose. Pressure washer work by forcing the water through that tiny nozzle, it doesn’t matter what fancy design the pump is, as long as it pushes the water through. The stronger the pump and the smaller the nozzle the more pressure you get. Want more GPM? Get a bigger pump and a water tanks buffer system. Or just use a nozzle with a bigger opening. - a pressure washing enthusiast.
@@dailyDIYdude A pressure washer can be used without an external tap, provided that the water source is sufficiently high to supply enough water to the pressure washer pump. If you have a pressure washer with its own water supply or can pump the water from an outside source, it is possible to do this.
I fell for this trick as well I strongly stand behind any gas pressure washer I bought activ 3.0 kit for 400 and within 14 days the motor already had blew absolutely don’t recommend electric pressure washers
can you be any more vague and snake oil salesman like? PRESSURE is the result of restriction and of course depends on the nozzle. So the two MOST important values on a pressure washer are PRESSURE AT WHAT FLOWRATE. The active 2.0 has a claimed max pressure rating of 1800psi at 2.0gal/minute, which is most likely rounded up and more like 1755psi at 1.8 gal The cheapest washer at this rating is SIMONIZ for half the price and same rating (no magic pump). The problem with electric washers is just like Heaters. The electrical power restricts performance. Just buy a gas-powered one, you won't regret it except for noise.
You kitted out a consumer grand machine with professional grade equipement that costs more than the machine itself. Thats an interesting choice. Why not just get professional grade with all the attachements?
I have a Dewalt electric pressure washer that does 1.2 gpm for about half the cost of this one. And if I need more power, then I also have an older gas powered Ryobi that does 3500 psi at almost 3 gpm that I got for free 😂
2 years for the order to arrive, 4 years if you gonna send it back for regular service. 2 years if you wanna send it back and additional 2 years to get ir money returned
If you’re detailing properly, the foam is first used as a no contact prewash to loosen dirt and debris. Then you rinse and foam again at which point you can couple with a buckle hand wash.
The cheap "big box store" washers don't even have QC or threaded fittings on the hose or wand. If they leak they are non-repairable and non_replaceable; throw the whole thing away.
This is a good pressure washer only for washing your car due to the gpm, if you are a builders such as myself where I need pressure for cleaning parts and degreassing this is not the pressure washer you want
The pressure output is not determined by the nozzle. It is the maximum output pressure of the pump. So, flow rate of 2GPM matters more and is a game changer? Please...I got an "Excell" branded pressure washer back in 1997 from Walmart for about $295. 2.0GPM and 2000PSI. Still going strong today. What is presented here is not game changing nor innovative.
"completely unmatched at this price point" Bullshit lmao. $543 for this, 2.0 GPM. $330 Ryobi at home depot with 2.5 GPM. or $250 no name brand at 2.3 gpm. Sure, those are gas, but to claim "unmatched at this price" is factually incorrect.
This is just an ad. That's against RU-vid's terms of service. It's also illegal in the US. Check the FTC guidelines. Hopefully they'll start fining these scammers soon.
But higher flow rates mean poorer water economy. The one thing that pressure washers have over a conventional hose is PRESSURE with a limited flow rate, so water consumption is small. If I wanted a high flow rate, I'd just use a hose.
2gpm is lame theirs others out there that are doing more and I've even seen budget brands that have 2.3+ gpm rates but if you really care about flow rates just get a gas washer the cheap crap ones do 4-5gpm and can easily achieve up to 10gpm but then again foam is a waste of time just switch to rinseless it's better faster and cheaper. Also you don't want thick foam on every wash sometimes runny foam is better if you really want foam but again foam is old school.
