When you are talking about it hovering it made me think of the first time I used my 18’ extension pole to clean my gutters. I had my big 4000 psi 4.0gpm pressure washer on it with whatever the green tip is. First time I hit the trigger at full extension I didn’t know how much that thing was going to kick back. I remember the way I was holding it made it pin it against my body and I could left go of the trigger and it straight up knocked me over. Now I know to really lean into it and hold it on my side. It is surprising how much power they have.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Exactly anytime you extend the spray point further away the more leverage it has. I’ve had some wands go flying in my gas pressure washer trying to reach my second story. 🤣

[@AdamosGarage]

Amazing what you can do with a pressure washer Keav!! Looking forward to what you have in the queue to test!! Great video as always!!

[@CarsWithKeav]

Appreciate That!

[@Turbo6Detail]

Keav this comment is for your viewers.. For the love of all that is holy… please please use components rated for high pressure on the outlet of the washers. For every fitting and adapter we increase the chance of leakage or hose whip. Stick to NPT fittings whenever possible. When using check valves (which you definitely should), make sure you are depressurizing BOTH SIDES of the the valve. Potentially, you could relieve the pressure washer sides while still holding over 1000psi on the hose/gun side of the check valve. I’m a mechanical engineer that designs piping systems for chemical manufacturing. This is starting to get in in the realm where the user needs to know what they’re doing or they risk getting injured.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Totally agree with all this and make sure just because it says it’s stainless or a good material doesn’t mean it can hold 1k PSI. I always try to make sure any fitting can handle at least 3 times what I’m working with. All of the fittings I used are rated for at least 3k PSI. I know you can save money getting cheaper ones or converting an air hose reel to use a pressure washer hose, but to me it’s not worth the chance it bursts on you.

[@wescat2]

I feel like we discussed this. I'm so happy you're doing this!

[@CarsWithKeav]

I think we have. I’ve had this in my mind ever since Matt showed his Kranzle. Then Chem X showed the Ryobi setup so didn’t want to do that route so was waiting for the right cheap machines.

I’ll keep my Kranzle 1322, I love everything about it except the price! After using it I got over it!!

[@CarsWithKeav]

Nothing wrong with that especially if you already have it. You could go crazy and get another one and dual setup them for 4gpm 🤣

[@stevenjaragosky4633]

I have the same problem with my gas pressure washer. Got to remove tip and do a quick press of handle and you can hear the water pressurize then put tip back in. Think it has something to do with a niddle valve in the pump.

[@CarsWithKeav]

It’s for sure something with the pump not liking something and with electric the motor stalls really which is what causes the humming.

[@srussell5250]

Great video !! I appreciate you testing out all these different setups.

Very tempting but already had 2 hoses , long gun, and a foam cannon. just didn't want to wait months after 2.3 purchase to buy accessory's . Now about the 2.3. I love it but it is loud, when I wash my vehicles I do it early before the sun comes up. I close my garage door most of the way to keep noise down, but last time I washed it woke my wife up who was sleeping upstairs over a double deep garage in the back of the house. . Not sure if it was noise or vibration thru the walls. It looks so good on the wall , I hate to cover it to try to quiet it. Maybe Ill just start washing in the evening..lol Thanks again

[@CarsWithKeav]

That’s awesome! I figured if I’m in the rabbit hole might as well bring some company. 🤣

[@gabegabriel2155]

Hi from the UK. The humming is pump cavitation. It's the pump spinning faster than the water available. Try fitting a small expansion vessel on the inlet. This will hold a small resovoir of water under pressure to satisfy the initial surge.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Appreciate the info on this!

[@gabegabriel2155]

Cavitation is like a car wheel spinning. Normal domestic pressure washers deliver around 1gal per min. At 3 gal the mains water pressure will struggle particularly through small bore pipe. Something to bear in mind is pumps are made to pump not suck hence your quirks. Love to see an update if you decide to give it a go ​@CarsWithKeav

[@genuismensa]

@@CarsWithKeav A cheap solution for the a reservoir on your pressure washer is to use a water heater expansion tank.

[@genuismensa]

Also, to help with the power, run them both on 20 amp circuit. You can wire in a starting capacitor for an AC unit. They are relatively cheap and handle abuse well. Just use a little nema 20 box or something like that to hold it.

[@CarsWithKeav]

@ Both outlets I was using were on separate 20 amp breakers. I tried just in one and on separate not much of a difference.

[@brysonallen3203]

When you were testing these, did you see how much pressure you could get before one of them shut off, or were you only looking to maximize the gpm at 1,000ish psi?

[@CarsWithKeav]

I tried individually and could never get pressure above 1k psi. The motor kept adjusting to optimize to whatever it wanted to do. That’s a disadvantage to induction motors it’s easier for them to make it work safer.

[@glennmassengill3532]

Try bigger start capacitors on the motors. Or possibly a 15sec start delay between the motors. Also remember 20amps doesn’t really mean 20 amp 85% max continue issues. Definitely a good idea I might have to try

[@CarsWithKeav]

Mine is actually a 30amp so no problem there, but could be an issue for most 20AMP circuits. They hum even when starting separate if the water isn’t full unrestricted flow so think I got some kind of flow issue. Some ayes I could be creating a Venturi effect with how my input splitter is setup.

Stacking is best, but this was just an experiment and isn’t the system I would use in the end. Many have run dual Ryobi 1800’s and love them. They usually use a 5.0 size nozzle and get 1k PSI and 2.5 GPM.

Pretty slick Mr. Keav! It seems more and more pressure washer users are going to with a 'dual' pressure washer set up lately.

It's nice you show that you can do it on a budget also! Great job Mr. Keav.

It works pretty good, but we got some work to do to make it easy to use and get rid of the quirks. I didn’t know about dual with cheaper pressure washers till Chen X did their video. I was like maybe I can do that I just had to wait for the right cheap Amazon pressure washer to come along.

[@joevanseeters2873]

Mr. Keav, you need to start your own pressure washer company or do some sort of collaboration unit with whomever would be willing to work with you as a consultant. I know you and Josh are friends and he is starting his own pressure washer company. With all the testing you have done over the years on pressure washers and foam cannons, you are now sort of the "specialist in pressure washers" through your gained knowledge and also your extensive (and very well thought out and presented by the way sir) testing that you have done over the past couple of years. Offer your knowledge to someplace like Giraffe, Josh, or the company that makes these pressure washers. I'm talking taking all your vast and valuable knowledge in designing the DREAM PRESSURE WASHER. Dual? Why stop there, using three of these dirt cheap (but what appear to be decent quality) units on the brand new "SUPER TRIPLE KEAV" pressure washer! LOL. Seriously though Mr. Keav, you need to work with some company and come up with everything you would want in a pressure washer with a dual motor configuration similar to what is shown here to make an affordable, but good quality, using quality parts, a slick design appearance, could be used on a wall mount, or some type of cart or wheel mount, whatever the user wants for their needs, but at a reasonable price that most enthusiast could afford. It seems that most of the pressure washers are sub-par in manufacturing standards when they are at the lower price points. I have had four pressure washers over the past five years and to be honest, they were all JUNK! 90% of the world doesn't want a $2500 Kranzle unit from some of the offerings out there for the unit with all the accessories. It would be cool to have a great quality dual motor unit (with all your wish list items on it) for in the range of $1,000! Your testing (and Josh's) have been some of the best testing of the various units (of various price points) on KZbin! That's the truth buddy. Keep up the great work Mr. Keav.

i instantly clicked on the link and purchased one. It should arrive tomorrow I cant wait. I still have my 2nd Active VE52 (VE56 updated model) but I bought this one because I can't believe the insanely cheap price of $71 for an induction motor pressure washer. Even if it only lasts 50 hours it's worth it to me. What I am going to use it for is strictly for rinsing off my car after washing it. I am going to use the suction hose feature and just buy a bunch of gallons of distilled water at walmart (1 gallon only costs like $1.26) and pour it in buckets and I will essentially have a spot free rinse thru a pressure washer. I was wanting to buy the Fantik NB9 or whatever it's called and use that as a spot free rinse but that one is $90 and the pressure washer is more capable.

Have you ever tested the pump you linked for actual numbers? The info says 2175 PSI and 2.1 gallons per minute. I was curious if that claim is accurate.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Those are the marketing numbers they state which on Amazon from no name sellers its always way off. I myself got a little more than half what I got with the dual setup. 900 PSI at 1.6gpm which I think I could have gotten more gpm and had pressure left for it just didn't have the nozzles. Some run check valves and others don't. I like to play it safe not just to stop sending pressure to the other unit, but to keep them running as even as possible at the point where they combine. I bet that hydrojetter can do some damage really with a handheld spray gun I think 4gpm is the limit at which you will get wrist fatigue in a very short period of time.

Your creating a venturi at the inlet split for the first pressure washer thats why you loose prime. You would need a larger inket dia split into 2 pressure regulators and you would solve the problem provided there are no other restrictions.

[@CarsWithKeav]

That’s possible, but not sure bigger diameter will help since my feed line in the wall is 1/2 inch. Maybe just coming from the main hose splitting with equal length hoses and feeding to each one will be better. I have more than enough flow at almost 8gpm with my 5/8 hose.

[@AMI_Detail]

​@@CarsWithKeav @philipparana9225 could be onto something... As I mentioned in my DM, I have been running dual Ryobi's for a couple of months and only noticed a couple of times where only one would engage. To correct it, I would simply let off the trigger then go again. I never had the Ryobi combo lose prime like you're experiencing. One difference is that I am teeing off my water line, but the have equal runs to both units. That's a great observation, Philip. It probably makes even a bigger difference as the demand with higher GPM goes up.

@ You’re Welcome

[@Vectorr66]

How did one work on its own without piggy back?

[@CarsWithKeav]

Pretty good about 850 psi at 1.6GPM

[@57cbo]

I've been using an old gas-powered Speed Clean pressure washer that's rated at 2200 psi at 1.9 gallons per minute and was thinking of buying the Pircaath you show that's on sale for $71. I'm retired and only have two vehicles that I take care of and was wondering if it's worth it to go electric. Gas is a pain at times and requires more maintenance. Your opinion matters. Thanks

[@CarsWithKeav]

That’s the reason most go electric just a bit more convenient with no carburetor to deal with. It’s not going to feel as powerful as the gas one, but they are very efficient. Anything in the $100 range from Ryobi or Greenworks will work as well. These just aren’t proven over a long time period yet so that headache is a possibility of it failing with really no support to get it fixed or replaced.

[@57cbo]

@CarsWithKeav Thanks. If I buy one, I'll keep the gas-powered one just in case. It would be nice to have something you don't have to change the oil, tune up, and put pump conditioner thru it every winter. Right there I just sold myself an electric pressure washer.😁 Thanks for your opinion and great informative videos.

[@CarsWithKeav]

@ if storing in a cold place that freezes you will still need to winterize it. Same problem with water expansion will happen in any pump.

[@57cbo]

@@CarsWithKeav I live in central Pennsylvania and been using a good pump conditioner and fuel stabilizer before every winter for the past 19 years. I don't like keeping yard or any gas-powered equipment in my garage which is attached to the house. I would keep that small electric one in my garage. :)

Please excuse my ignorance but what is the purpose of this? Wouldn’t it be the same to use a gas powered machine?

[@CarsWithKeav]

This was just to see if it worked as people wanted to know and it was fun to do. As you can see I work in my garage can’t use gas in there plus they are loud so I can’t use it anytime I want. Don’t always need a purpose if it’s fun to experiment.

[@walterroskowski7714]

How much GPM did you get off running 1 of those pressure washers

[@CarsWithKeav]

850PSI at 1.6GPM, let’s see what Josh gets when he reviews it. I didn’t do a ton of single testing.

[@jeffbinkley1404]

Please try this. Plug the pressure washers into separate circuits. I think that will solve your priming problem. Please let us know if it works. Thank you and good luck.

@@jeffbinkley1404 They were on separate circuits during the testing. I tried both ways still same issue.

[@larryblanchard2290]

How is this machine when you use just one?

[@CarsWithKeav]

I only did a quick test and forget the nozzle size, but I had gotten between 850-900 PSI at 1.6GPM. Which is why I think we can still go with a Bigger nozzle we should be able to hit 3.2gpm combined. Josh should have his review on it soon.

[@tom73055]

Says dc electrical 110 v50 hertz I don’t see how you are setting up for the electrical???

[@CarsWithKeav]

I’m just plugging them into two separate 110v circuits in my house. One is a 15amp and the other 20amp.

[@THeBoZZHoGG]

If your circuit breaker is working correctly, because the vast majority of residential breakers are thermal trip, then for continuous load the max ampacity before tripping should be 80% of circuit rating. SO for a 20Amp breaker the max continuous load before OCP kicks in will be 16Amps. So at 19A it will work for a few minutes, but should trip the OCP, if it does not then something is wrong with the breaker.

[@CarsWithKeav]

The main one in my garage is actually a 30 amp so it wouldn't trip, but I did test them combined on a 20 amp on another plug across the house to make sure using a 12 AWG extension cord.

[@lexist2112]

Impressive!!!! With some fine tuning could have a reliable setup for a fraction of the price!!!

[@CarsWithKeav]

I’ll figure it out at some point and make it less quirky.

[@VassRulez]

For $72 I think a seperate review for these Chinese units could do well to see the specs compared to like a ryobi or green works of a similar price.

[@CarsWithKeav]

I explain in the video ImJoshV will be doing a review on a single unit soon. I just wanted to have fun with the dual setup.

[@KingTheDetailer]

How many hours is the washer built for ?

[@CarsWithKeav]

These companies won’t state that information, but the motor being induction should be good for hundreds of hours. The pump though I am not sure of. I would treat it like a residential machine and say 100 hours which is what most are rated for, but once again it’s hit or miss with these Amazon products.

[@KingTheDetailer]

@CarsWithKeav agreed i currently use the ryobi 1.2gpm . Another question is o change the tips from yellow to green am I using more water or is it just the pressure change from a smaller orifice to a wider one

[@CarsWithKeav]

@ Some companies have different sizes between their green, yellow and white. If they are the same size then it would be the same water and pressure just concentrating the amount of water to a smaller area having more impact to the surface.

Strange my 20 amp in the garage has been there for 20 years running lots of high amp equipment. I do install a new outlet that is 30 amp that I use now so we are good there. Of course I’m a hobbyist so not using it for what I would consider long periods of time.

Keav, I don’t get it. What’s the point? All these expensive connects, lag time problems for more gpm? Anything over 2.2 for cars is possibly wasteful unless you’re washing a 747. 👍🏽

[@CarsWithKeav]

Does there have to be a point when your having fun experimenting in your garage? People wanted me to figure out a dual setup and I did it my way of course with cheap Amazon pressure washers. I would think wasteful has more to do with technique than any flow number, but my purpose was get as much GPM as possible for as little money as possible. I mean I mention many times that it was for fun and not something most should do as there is quirks to It. Of course I’ll get it dialed in and working great at some point. 🤣

[@joeschmoe6908]

Have you been to the self serve car wash lately? Some of those are putting out 5gpm or more, and it's brilliant. Unfortunately the chemicals they provide suck, so washing at home is still better.

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@joeschmoe6908 Yeah. All depends on how many people are using the bays at the same time. They are running like 8hp belt driven pressure washers so you could get more by yourself, but they are usually restricted to a certain amount so every bay has good flow. Most of them typically run 1200 PSI at 3GPM.

[@AMI_Detail]

@kevinstover5155 I've been running dual Ryobi's for a couple of months. For me, it has been awesome. I don't have any of the lagging or priming issues with my setup. I love the flexibility. When I'm using Chem-X Stars and Stripes, I can get 1400 PSI with 2.1 GPM, driveway wash I go with the 5.0 nozzle and land at 900 PSI with 2.6 GPM. The real flexibility is when I am washing inside with no drain... I drop to a single Ryobi with a 2.5 nozzle for 1.25 GPM to limit the amount of water I have to squeegee. Then for wheels, I use a single Ryobi but go with a 4.0 nozzle and drop pressure to around 500 PSI. Plenty of cleaning power up close, but way less blow back.

[@Engine_biulds]

Man i never did this and i can tell you you don't need check valves, think about it. When a pump kicks on with a hose it already has over so man psi forcing back into the pump from design for gods sake. Just run em the simplest way and when you thread tape an orinf or rubber sealed fitting that floats, your an idiot, becuae you can't seal tge. Gap between the nut and hose, the only way to seal them is properly and that's a clean unmolested bore and good oring

[@CarsWithKeav]

I get what your saying, but the main reason for the check valves is to have them in out there pressure at the same point evenly right where the my combine so they cut on and off at the same time. If no check valves if not turned on at the same time they get out of sync on the auto start stop. Believe me ai tried it without check valves it works most of the time, but every now and then they go into a surge frenzy fighting reaching other.

Did you expect a perfect product for $90 that has an induction motor? I said in the video it takes a lot of tape as well. I never said it got 2.1 gpm and the video was about running a dual setup not about this individual pressure washer by itself. I said to go watch Josh's video when he does his review on it. I got 3.0 gpm with dual setup so with one unit that would be 1.5 gpm. Not sure you watched the video fully or at least were not paying attention.
