AR630tss VS BigBoi Washr Pro - Detailing Pressure Washer Comparison

[@ZoeyR86]

In my custom-built small enclosed trailer, I've installed a 100-gallon tank to supply the 630TSS, RO/DI refill filter system, 8070 Lite III, Fortress 10-gallon air compressor (model 57328). Additionally, I have equipped the trailer with a 50-ft air reel, a 50-ft power reel, and a 50-ft reel with Uberflex hose. For organization, there's a toolbox containing all necessary smaller items. On the roof, I've installed solar panels to power an EcoFlow Delta 2 Max + Delta 2 Max Smart EB system, along with an EcoFlow generator fueled by a 5-pound propane tank. The Delta 2 Max essentially functions as a single 20-amp circuit, allowing me to power either the pressure washer, air compressor, or Mytee system individually. While it's rare for me to drain the battery completely, I've never had to utilize the generator except for testing purposes. With 3.8 kWh of usable power, I can run the pump continuously for approximately 2 hours or operate the Mytee system with heat for about 1 hour and 45 minutes solely on battery power. Moreover, I receive anywhere from 500-800whrs every hour from solar energy here in palm springs i go solo and i tow with my old scion xb I have brakes on the trailer and a fulll 7way setup with redarc on the fist gen xb

[@BradRussellisAwesome]

This sounds amazing and like you’ve put a lot of thought into it. I’ve been wondering if an Ecoflow could power any of these pressure washers, so that’s good to know. Which panels are you running? Really cool to not have to be running a generator all the time which makes your setup seriously quiet.

[@iandersen42]

Just got a AR 630TSS and I love it. I was really surprised by how quiet it is. I've been using a Ryobi and it's high pitched and whinny. Really glad I got the AR. Mine has a 15amp plug... I bought it through AMMO.

[@stevenkrekeler8403]

I went with the Bigboi Pro and it is working well. I purchased the hose reel and caddy along with the pressure washer unit. The hose reel and caddy are portable if you need that, but it also mounts on the wall simply and can be pulled off if required. I like the flexibility that the Bigboi unit provides. Thanks for the side by side review. I don't think you can go wrong with either unit.

mind providing more details on generator use? i remember seeing on bibbois page that if you are going to run it with a generator they have to modify it for you but doesnt say what that means, and as far as the 2.3 it just does not run at all with a 3500 starting watt 3000 running watt generator?

[@mattc7568]

I've ordered the BigBoi Washr Pro as well as a Blowr Pro and accessories. I had a small issue with the wall mount and customer service has been terrible. I've been waiting for 6 weeks for a replacement wall mount, for some reason. Such a small issue that they seem unwilling, or unable, to resolve. This experience makes me regret my purchase, as if I have a real problem, who knows if I will be able to get it resolved. Granted, I am very happy with the performance of the pressure washer and blow dryer, so hopefully I will never have an issue. Will choose another company, though, when it is time to replace these just based on this terrible customer service experience. I've tried to escalate to the CEO but no way to contact him.

My WashR Pro has been terrible. It doesn't shut off. I emailed Bigboi about it. They suggested strechting the spring out. It broke when attempting that. I responded saying it didn't work.

[@vermontmotorsports1275]

Can anybody smarter than me help me out? I have an AR 630tss and I have a Predator 3500. My entire build in my Honda Element is centered around that generator bc I thought it would be enough to power it. The first two times I used it, it worked flawlessly. Now every time I plug in the AR it trips and powers down. I bought a $99 Ryobi just to keep things moving but I'm getting sick of walking by the 630 in my garage every day. He mentioned powering down the output at the start of the video, does anybody know how to do this? The predator comes with a 30 amp rv adapter

[@life36899]

The Predator 3500 has a running wattage of 3,000 watts and a start up Or maximum wattage of 3,500 watts. The AR630tss does not give a specific start-up wattage that I can find but says it requires a 20amp circuit. So, a twenty amp circuit is rated at 2,400 watts. (20 amps x 120 volts) If you take the 2,400 watts and multiply times 2.0, which is a safe minimum multiplier, for these types of motors for start-up wattage. You would need a generator with a start-up or maximum wattage of 4,800 watts. To have a little more headroom I would see if you can return your Predator 3500 and exchange it for the 5000. The 5000 has a maximum wattage of 5,000 watts and a running wattage of 3,900 watts. On all motors it is the start-up wattage that makes it difficult to figure out the required size generator. I hope this helps.

[@vermontmotorsports1275]

@@life36899 Heres AR 630tss specs: needs true 20 amp and Watts 1800, voltage 120v-60Hz. all of which pred3500 should handle. after researching on reddit a little pred 3500 max sustained load is 25 amps continuous. but neither of the two standard 3 prong support a true 20 amp. yet the RV plugin is a 30A circuit. so I've heard of people using a converter cord to take advantage of the 30 amp plugin.

[@life36899]

@vermontmotorsports1275 The part of the puzzle you didn't mention is the start-up wattage on the motor. Another way to look at it is a house 20 amp circuit has a breaker protecting the circuit and it will allow a spike or start-up current that exceeds 20 amps by several times for a short period of time. So start-up current on a 20 amp motor works fine. A generator has a maximum wattage output. Again, the motor on the AR has a start-up wattage around 2 times it's running wattage. So 2,400 x2 = 4,800 watts. I do not believe the 3500 will produce enough wattage to start the motor on this AR unit. Once started, it would work fine. Even if you use the 1,800-watt rating and multiply it x 2, you still need 3,600 watts of start-up wattage. It might work in perfect conditions but I don't believe it will be reliable.

[@div216]

Using my AR630tss with Predator 3500. Use the 30amp RV plug and turn off eco mode. No problem.

[@life36899]

@div216 It sounds like there is enough headroom to make it work. If following these instructions and the generator still trips out, then there is probably something wrong with either your generator or pressure washer.

Josh is right, the higher gpm makes a huge difference. I'm stuck using a low end unit for now, but I've tried better ones and the time savings is significant. If you're doing a quick wash on your own car, you can probably save 10 minutes unless you're the kind of guy that does a half-assed rinse to begin with. If you're a pro doing multiple cars a day a unit like this pays for itself relatively quickly.
