NEW! ACTIVE 2.0 PRESSURE WASHER | Best Pressure Washer for Car Detail 

Typical clear, well thought out honest review. Appreciate your diligence and clear demonstrations. Great stuff.

you are the best youtuber i have found in a long time. perfectly descriptive. good camera angles. just all around great product. thanks for all the effort put into this video

Thanks Josh...as always you are the best source for pressure washer and accessory reviews. I've had a SunJoe 4000 pressure washer for the past several years for personal car washing but it's time to upgrade and I'll be going with the Active 2.0 based on your reccomendation. Thanks again for your channel!

Great job, this is exactly what I was looking for!

Active is such a cool company for listening to the folks who use their products

I already tried to buy this unit for black friday and I lost the discount because my bank blocked my card, I hope to be the winner of this pressure washer. thanks for doing this Josh 😎👍

The fastest “best-est”review and the Most words per minute of any review! The numbers don’t lie! Great job Josh.

We've been anxiously and patiently waiting for you to receive and review this one!

I have the older activ, bought it last year so not ready to buy a new one, but this one looks great. You are right about the power button I can see why it would fail but otherwise a great pressure washer.

Good job Josh. My 2.0 just arrived Wednesday, looking forward to setting it up Sunday.

Like all your product reviews. Love to have one of these Active 2.0 pressure washer.

I would love to have this bad boy!! Thanks for the great video man!! God bless!!

Ok this the one I ready need! Thanks Josh.

Awesome and azaming I'll be getting one soon perfect for me for detailing thank you for the info josh awesome videos

Thanks for the info on this unit, with just a few tweaks this becomes a very workable unit.

Great video as always. I'm still waiting for a video on the deionized tank setup you have in the corner of the garage. Keep the knowledge flowing.

Thank you! Definitely going to be my next pressure washer once my ryobi breaks! Going to definitely use my own hose, gun and foam cannon

Josh ~ have to say this power bar none is the BEST power washer in a small package that packs a punch. I have a honda gas powerwasher, but the Active 2.0 is a game changer. The size, the power, compressor only turning on for demand, etc. Very impressive! Thanks for your vids, they are def making a difference for us consumers. keep it going brother!!!!

Excellent video glad you got your hands on this. Compared to the chemical guys one it’s night and day

thank you josh for another exceptional video 🤙🏽

Great video as always! Looking to get a new pressure washer

Thanks so much for this video

Preordered this can't wait for it to come in.

Great washer/video!

Josh thank you for doing the giveaway even If I lose. It’s amazing your doing that for everyone to enjoy somthing even if it’s small.

Appreciate the review

And again just love your video, I just wanted to ask, what pressure washer would you recommend if I would want a cordless and getting the water from a 5 gallon bucket

Thank you sir!!! That was a wonderful review, as all your reviews are. So through. One question, do you run that gravity fed? Or a pump? Thank you for all you do for us out here!!

I need this badly, cheers!

Great review. Do you ever notice any back pressure build up whenever you release the trigger on your spray gun? I'm noticing it happen on my Sun Joe and think it might be time for an upgrade.

Great video

Josh, I really enjoy your reviews and actually based my purchase of this unit largely on your review. I do need to share what happened to me after the purchase. Others may gains some value and at least be more informed. Purchased this pressure washer on 10/20/23. Used it once... Worked great. No serious issues. Good pressure, did not overheat, TSS pressure system worked reasonably well but need to make sure no small leaks in hose and connections or the unit will cycle a lot. After use, was putting the unit away in my car and I caught the TSS switch on the edge of the car and it cracked the switch housing. This is the most delicate part of the pressure washer and it is not protected with any guard. If this unit were to roll over or be hit by something else or your hose got hung up and tangled, I can see this part getting damaged. I am not blaming "Active" for the damage whatsover (Other than that switch is not very well guarded and is plastic) However, I reached to them to purchase a replacement part. I emailed them and called and spoke to a support rep. I received this response a short time ago: I checked with the tech team and manager, and unfortunately, we don't have this part available, and we're not sure if it will be available in the near future. Let me know if you'd like to buy another 2.0; I can offer a 15% discount. Best Regards, Customer Support, ACTIVE PRODUCTS I was a bit surprised for such an expensive product that they have no parts or support. Obviously, this is a very, very big disappointment to me. As you can see from the photo I have included, I just purchased this unit three weeks ago, paid $369 and the unit is basically junk now because Active cannot replace what is likely a $20 piece of plastic. My goal with this review is not to air out my issue with the merchant, my goal is to put anyone on notice that if they are purchasing this product, Active does not seem willing to replace any parts but will be quick to offer you to buy another unit. I can understand this type of response with a $79 Harbor Freight electric pressure washer, but this purchase for me was significantly researched and I looked at it as an investment into a really high quality machine. If this unit does break, and it is not covered by warranty, you will be at risk losing your $350 + investment. Too bad. At this price point, basic parts should be available. As you can see from the photo, it is very specialized and as I said the weakest link of the unit. From what I have seen and brainstormed, I have no way to workaround it.... HAVING SAID ALL OF THIS, I am not blaming you or your review. I appreciate all your information and detailed review. I just thought this would be reasonable to add for anyone that may be considering this unit. In addition, I am open to any ideas you may have about how I might gain some value out of something that is essentially a boat anchor now..... :(

Yoo Josh! thank you for all the Video's! I'm looking for some advice. I need to get a pressure washer and mainly will bedding my own car wash in my drive way and as needed home cleaning: (drive way, patio, bricks, stone). Will this Active 2. work for home as well? Can it run a surface cleaner? thank you for you time and recommendations!

I need this unit last piece I need to take my personal detailing to the next level! Good luck everyone! Commenting here for good measure

Just ordered one should be here Monday or Tuesday can't wait 😊

Once again another great video. I honestly think I'm going to order this one. I am going to order the one without the accessories. I don't mind paying more money for better quality. Now I do have my gas power washer that does a phenomenal job. With winter coming and my garage is only heated when I'm out there so the gas one is a pain in the keister. I've been looking for an electric one. That way I can drain my hoses and bring the unit into the warm house. I have a setup in our utility room. Got big shelving units and that's where I keep all my batteries and all the chargers for my tools. And this will fit nicely right there next to all of it. I most definitely gave you a big old thumbs up and of course I'm already I subscriber. Looking forward to your next video.

This looks good!

Josh does the best testing on pressure washers!!

Looks like a great unit .

Dope beat at the end

Great review Josh ..I am waiting for my sunjoe to give out so I can buy this ..I got the Wagner and Bissell spot clean pro from ur recommendation and they r working like a champ

I’ve been using a Karcher 3 for a while now would you say it’s worth upgrading to this model? I use my pressure washer for mostly detailing my car.

Looks like a nice little unit

Thanks for this video! It's helped me with my purchase decision. As a side note, I ordered and received the wand swivel using your link. It seems very tight which some other buyers also found, according to their reviews. Does it loosen up when used over time?

Yo brotha! Love the content and I’ve recently purchased some of the items on your list. I had a quick question about the quick connects. I purchased the same Uber flex hose in the link, but the quick connects linked are 3/8”. Will those two components fit or do I need to purchase the m22 to 1/4” fittings?

Love it

I know someone who just got this machine as well and he loves it. Nothing really negative to say about it. Thanks for the review.

Very good review.

Some great reviews

Hi! Great tips! I have this machine but I'm missing the black box on the side of the pump which I believe is the auto stop... I cannot find a replacement for this, can you recommend an alternative parts to substitute for it? Thank you.

This is one of the most compact and easy to use pressure washers on the market

extremely jealous you got yours. Still waiting for mine and I ordered as soon as they announced the preorder

I have 40’ motorhome as well as cars, thinking it would beneficial to have a 100’ hose…..what’s your opinion of that? Thanks

Is this worth the upgrade coming from a sunjoe spx3000? I already have the upgraded wand, gun, hose and foam cannon

Just watched your video on the Chemical Guys Power Washer. This Active 2.0 by far is a superior product to what the " Guys" have. Up to know, this is leading the race to my choice

Had i known about this unit i may have waited but my Karsher 1700 Cube works rather good for now. Thanks for this review Also love how you point us to much more affordable products then other some other channels

Does it have enough PSI to use with a floor cleaner attachment equipment to what a Ryobi 1800psi pressure washer can do?

Do I need the quick connects and the adapter if I want to add the swivel wand and longer hose?

Should I be getting a 4.0 orifice size for all my pressure washer tips?

How are you using the uberflex with this unit? My brand new active 2.0 pump keeps staying on and doesn't shut off after trigger release. When I switch to the original gun and hose it's fine. I contacted active and they say you can't use uberflex...because it's not steelbriaded. Any advice ?

What soap did you use ? What dilution ratio? Love the soap you got! Great video! Regards, Tony

Hey Josh do you prefer the active 2.0 or the adam's pro pressure washer? I'm debating which one to get from the two.

Dang, great performance for the price! My AR 630 TSS hits 1100 PSI @ 2.0 GPM with a 4.0 orifice.

Thanks for that.

Awesome!

Looks to pack a good punch for such a small pressure washer. Looks great

Thanks for sharing !! Based on your video and your review on this pressure washer I made my decision to buy it. Was looking for a small portable pressure washer and this impressed me so much that I ordered yesterday (2/18/24) from Amazon. To be honest, I had not heard of this brand, nevertheless I had seen it advertised on Amazon website, but never caught my attention. Just waiting on its arrival. Followed your advice and purchased different accessories for a better experience.

I bought the Active VE52 last October after you reviewed it and I love it… no issues with mine (so far). I bought a 50 foot Flexzilla hose to accompany it because the Uberflex was not available at that time.

Hey Josh, Great Vid! Just got this 2.0. What cart are you using in this video? Looks handy.

I’m happy with my Ryobi but could certainly up my game with this.

hi Josh how are you? its nice to see you on youtube i would like to know that uberflex hose have steel braided / no? its hard to find that kind a hose here to upgrade, LOL

Hey @imjoshv how does this work with a gravity fed water tank? Does the pump on this unit help with gravity fed tanks? Thank you.

I really need something like this!

Great prize. Thanks Josh. I need a new pressure washer.

Thanks Josh

I definitely want this unit of a pressure washer

I NEEEEED THIS!

Great review! I am going to upgrade the accessories. Will the MJJC cannon work with the Active 2.0? I see where they recommend minimum1300 psi for this cannon and the Active 2.0 does not get to that pressure.

Great Review!!! What diameter garden hose inlet should we use???? 5/8 OR 2/4???? OR doesn’t it matter??? Thank You

Looks like a good pressure washer would like to try one out...

Hey Josh, I was on the fence between (after watching your review) on Ryobi 40v 1500 psi (now newer 6ah battery whisper version $599) vs Active 2.0. I live in a townhouse so don't have my own driveway. There are cars parked in front of my garage about 2 car length away so I need to wash my car parked close to my garage if I get active 2.0 and my left & right nextdoor neighbors leave their garage door open during daytime. With Ryobi, I can wash at our open space car wash area freely. I just bought Ryobi and MTM foam cannon & gun last week but haven't tried yet. Ryobi- costs more & weaker than active and limited battery usage time but no restriction for washing environment. Active 2.0- costs less and more powerful machine but some washing restriction. Should I go with active 2.0 or stick with Ryobi? Please give me an opinion, thanks!

Let's GO! 🏆

Just from watching your videos I was able to accumulate that stubby nose sprayer that you recommended as well as the mjjc foam Cannon which I absolutely love, and also now looking to add that uberflex hose to make my pressure washer system but it should be. I'm really loving the Ryobi 1800 PSI, I wish it produced as much GPM as this unit does but I bought it because it was only about $100 at home Depot.

Need this!

Hey Josh I have the Uberflex you are showing and it is amazing as I was using it with a Dewalt 2.1 psi. I have the Active 2.0 and I read on youtube and elsewhere that it causes the Active 2.0 to surge and it has killed few units. Active recommends to use a steel braided hose ?? Can you please elaborate on that as I am afraid to connect the Uberflex and I am "stuck" with OEM 25" Active hose

I have a craftsman pressure washer. I would love to have that for Christmas. That’s the perfect pressure washer for me.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 phone

Hi! How would you compare this to the DeWalt electric pressure washer?

How you like it better compared to the Ryobi 2300 brushless?

Love the reviews keep it up!!!

Great review! Yes, when you double the length of the hose, you will double your friction loss. That accounts for the pressure decrease. If you put your pressure guage at the beginning of the hose, you will see the same pressure regardless of the hose length. However, that would not accurately tell you the performance at the nozzle. It would only demonstrate the loss.

Does 1.1 orifice pull 15amp circuit breaker/outlet on the active 2.0?

Can you use this for cleaning up deck, driveway etc?

I got this unit based on your recommendation and I love it. I’m looking to add a quick connect to my garden hose but not sure which one I need. Can you or anyone on here assist? Thanks for the help and keep up the great channel.

Great product 🔥

Yup...getting one

what do you recommend for someone starting out? What type of pressure washer gas or electric and being that you will need an air compressor for mobile are you better off going gas. what type of gun chemicals maybe from chemical guys and i know you mention mjjc also what type of carpet steamer. I am basically looking for agood products to have but not to pricey.

Got my 2.0 last week and used it last weekend. So far so good. Wish they were available sooner with the shorter summer season we have here.

Wow that looks pretty compact and it save water.

Does it work from a bucket instead of tank or faucet?

I need to upgrade from my k1700. With the 50’ hose when i start up again it needs to build up pressure for a millisecond
