I can listen to this guy talk all day. Matt really knows his stuff and just seems completely honest, a rare combo in life, especially in an auto industry business.

[@woodysofwellington3099]

Just loving this overview, I'm obsessed with purchasing the correct pressure washer for detailing. I'm a weekend warrior with a ocd..problem. love this guy Matt... he cares about what he sells in an honest format. I'll be making all my detailing products from Obsessed Garage!!! For Sure! This guy flipped pressure washers and detailing products on its head. Thanks from Woodys at Wellington Boot and Shoe Repair inc.....

I don’t like having a wand that is too long. ❤And yes, sometimes the wrong adapter comes through, “has been hit or miss” on the introductory Sun Joe! It’s not universal for the various attachments. Love the detailed explanations you place into your Vlogs!

I love my Karcher 1700. I set it up with an Amazon hose reel and Amazon hose. Higher flowing tips and a MTM gun and foam gun. It’s a joy to use- not unbearably loud and has run hundred of hours for me for less than $600 all in.

[@timkinley1779]

Hundreds of hours?

[@pearldrums92]

@@timkinley1779 I purchased it two years ago and detail part time, on top of weekly washes for our three vehicles. It is safe to say it has a runtime of 100-200 hours and likely over 200+

I bought the original OG gun/wand and then bought the new OG solution. The better Mosmatic fittings are worth it. But taking the old solution and getting a 25ft hose and setting it up with my gas Kartcher for the house is another game changer. Just having the better user experience for all the house stuff is amazing.

You can’t trust a pressure washer from a company that makes a soap called “sticky snowball”:)

Matt said he might " Jump the Shark " with this NEW coffee deal.... can't wait for this

[@godowarus]

I had preordered the Active 2.0 the same day you released the first testing video and was excited at first. At some point I got tired of waiting and found I had a dedicated 20 amp outlet and so I bought the AR630 TSS portable solution instead and I'm glad I did. The performance is top notch and pretty quiet compared to the Active or other entry level pressure washers. Using a 1.5mm orifice in the MTM PF22.2 and 5.0 orifice rinse nozzles per your recommendation, I don't see it going over 14.8 amps so it might be possible to use a dedicated 15 amp circuit. Great job to Matt and OG team for revolutionizing pressure washing.

[@godowarus]

@@jameschunn2790 They never did. But he did do a video on testing the ar630tss hot. He used a 1.25mm orifice in the foam cannon which drew about 18 amps. My own testing with a 1.5mm orifice got me to 14.4 ish amps. That makes sense as a 1.25mm is between a 3.0 and 3.5 rinse nozzle, while a 1.5mm is just a tiny bit bigger than a 5.0 rinse nozzle.

[@godowarus]

@@jameschunn2790 Ah, I see. Just that they go through all work of testing pressure washers, putting together accessory packages and publishing his findings so the public can make a more educated purchasing decision. While I wanted to give the Active 2.0 a shot, I ultimately decided to spend a bit more and get something that performs better, sounds quieter, and is serviceable.

[@whitegoodman7465]

What is it drawing without the foam cannon? same as matt? if its drawing 14.4 with a 1.5 foam cannon then it should be a few amps less by itself@@godowarus

Looking forward to the deionizer. Would be awesome to not worry about water spots during the contact washing process. To step back and admire your work after the car is dialed in is quite fulfilling.

Matt, I'm telling you, don't you move to CANADA! It will be better for my pocket book ;) The shipping, duties and taxes with the conversion kills us. It's literally 70% of the US price. Also, would be nice to get free shipping if inside the hex member, same as in USA. There is so much potential.

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

Ive got a Kranzle and an Active 2.0 purely for my cars but I have issues with all these companies. Hear me out for a brief bit here. I also have a 5,000PSI rated gas PW that will strip your skin off if you arent careful. I paid $1000 for it. I have put well over 200 hours on its 7.5HP engine. If it had a gauge I'm pretty sure it would say something like 400+ hours but 200 is safe. I have ZERO issues with it. Basic maintenance a couple times a year. I think these electric PW companies are worlds behind where they should be. Even the Kranzle should be better. The $350 Active literally matches it's performance. It's going 80mph in a Kia compared to 80mph in my Tesla but it's still going 80mph. The value on all of these, except maybe the Active, is very questionable to ne

Should I buy the 1622 or the active 2.0? I don’t have a dedicated 20A for the 1322, which is the one I’d like to buy. I like the quality and honestly the sound of the 1622, but your saying the specs from the active 2.0 are better for washing cars. Any help would be appreciated.

[@ObsessedGarage]

That's a tough one. The 1622 is pretty weak in comparison to the Active, but you are right. It's much better quality than the Active. Hmm... I think I'd pick the 1622.

[@MuffinMan0521]

Sucks about the Active pressure washer customs thing. I ended up buying direct from them because of it :(

[@lizl8111]

can i use a pressure washer on wood?

[@GearReviewDepot]

Absolutely! I pressure wash my deck every other year before I repaint it. I’ve used it to clean my windows and siding as well. Many many uses.

[@timkinley1779]

Don't get the tip to close to the wood. Wet wood will splinter with to much direct pressure.

[@alexmontano4800]

[@improvedgarage]

I appreciated tommy's question about the coupler direction on the outlet of the PW. One other thing to add is that the Coupler is the wear item and the M22 is more expensive than the 3/8 female, so with your configuration you end up with the wear item being less expensive to replace (3/8 F NPT to 3/8 Coupler instead of M22F to 3/8 coupler).

[@Leo-cl1xq]

😂Matt says the AR630 is better performance and better pump design than Kranzle but people buy it because it cost 400 lower wft people buy them because is better performance is so simple

[@ObsessedGarage]

Specs are not everything. If they were, I'd be driving a Corvette. In the real world, the Kranzle is the best pressure washer. It sounds the best, has no jank like the Italian made AR, and is more reliable.

The Karcher K1700 is available at Home Depot, Walmart and is on Amazon for 136.00 free shipping. the gpm on this machine is pure junk. the Active V52, or ANY Active for that matter, would be a mistake, sporadic issues, poor customer service, with 5 plungers, whatever. do yourself a favor, just spend the money on an AR630ts, or a Kranzle 1322ts. If you really don't want to wait till you save the money, just get a K1700 temporarily, to get you by, till you can get an AR630, or a Kranzle. Just my 2 cents

[@pearldrums92]

Love mine. Hundreds of hours still going strong. Will replace with a comet or kranzle but I’ve been saying that for years.

[@Reaper-Jim]

As long as we’re laying out opinions, here’s mine: Buy/use what ever works best for your situation/status. Yes, that means it’s okay to buy and use a $60 pressure washer if that’s all you can afford. It gets the job done regardless. That also means it’s okay buying and using a $5k pressure washer if that’s what you can afford. It gets the job done, regardless. Generally speaking, it really doesn’t matter what pressure washer you buy and use. They ALL get the job done fairly well. There is no “junk” as far as that’s concerned. Don’t be a snobby dick and start telling people they suck because they don’t make as much as you and can’t afford your choices. I’m not pointing at anyone, I just think it’s a shitty way to conduct yourself. I am 100% on board with the concept of saving money until you can afford a better quality and longer lasting unit. In a perfect world … but for those that can’t or choose not to, cheaper pressure washers can and will serve them just fine. Even if they don’t last long. ……………………… Now keeping in the spirit of this channel, which is advising the best tools/products that provide value, I would advise Kranzle pressure washers ONLY. Not AR, Karcher, Active, Comet or any other brand. Kranzle only. NOT because they’re the most expensive (they’re actually not), it’s because they offer the best value for the individual and arguably for the professional. But realistically, the buyer has to choose what kind of “value” is worth investing in. That’s not up to any of us, rather it’s in the mindset of the buyer. 😊😊😊

Did you say that a Porsche 911 is an inferior car? How did you come to that conclusion??

[@ObsessedGarage]

The 911 is an inferior platform. The engine is behind the rear axle. A mid-engine design is far superior.

[@sbmessing]

@@ObsessedGarage The engine being behind the rear axle is what has made the 911 platform such an incredible performace car since the 60's. It has undergone incremental changes to continually refine it's performance. There are other cars that may be faster in a straight line but drive a 911 more aggressive and you will easily feel the difference. It's true that the weight distribution in a rear engine design is cumbersome but the issue many people have is that they do not know how to drive a rear engine car. You can't drive it the same way as a typical front engine performance car, but if you know when to apply brakes and gas, it connects like nothing else, especially not a Camaro.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Right, it gives it character, but makes it an inferior platform. That's why referencing the inferior radial axial design over triplex. Kranzle is using inferior design and refining it to the point of perfecting it. If it makes more sense, I've had 5 911s and have one on order, so I'm not knocking it.

[@jlovaglio]

For videos like this can you time stamp each piece. For this one there would be one for every pressure washer.

It is pretty remarkable how many people copy just about everything from OG and claim it as their own and new people think it's their design. I'm talking pressure washers, hoses, products, shelves, flooring, garages, etc. and people in the comments think they somehow came up with it.
