The New King Of Entry Level Pressure Washers: Testing The Active VE52 (1.94 GPM)

[@pedrocarrillo6411]

Matt in the Billy Mays voice " But wait there's more " the fittings come apart like so lets do that one more time in slow motion!!! 😂😂

[@azteacher26]

I'm the same way. If you don't mind me psychoanalyzing us both. I think this is a very masculine thing to do. It's really about money. A company providing us a product for a certain price and then screwing us over with lower specs or reduced life have metaphorically cucked us as men and stolen our livelihood. Spending hours researching a product to save a couple hundred dollars isn't about the money it's about 'beating' the enemy who is attempting to steal our hard earned resources. Men don't like getting taken advantage of. We will avoid it at all costs even if we waste potentially more time and money avoiding the tricks it was worth it to us because we didn't get swindled.

I feel like someone in the media team tried to tell Matt he had to be nicer to people, which is what resulted in "Don't be an idiot... I assume your intelligent, but quit being an idiot" and "I'm sure you're a nice person, but quit being dumb" If that is what happened, thank you, because that just made this into gold.

I bought the ultimate AR from you. I was one of those idiots about the fittings but only worse. I first ordered an extra fitting before I sent the email. I ordered a cart for mine and made the AR mobile. I did the fittings exactly as stated. I had to order a 22 or 24mm wrench. Not 1 leak. I was blown away how much power the AR has. I also bought the wand fitting set from OG so I could do house washing. Very happy with it and love not hearing a gas engine.

I have this exact pressure washer but it’s branded simonize here in Canada and it’s a Canadian tire brand but identical to this one and being able to pick it up for $200 Canadian when there’s a sale it’s definitely worth it’s weight in gold makes plenty of foam in my cannon and easily portable

[@ronherman6033]

Replaced a underwhelming Dewalt 2400psi pressure washer that would not produce foam even with 1.1 orafice...and got a Active VE52 and decided to go for water flow vs pressure...as I will be using to wash car much more than side of house or patio. Hooked it all up today with Flexzilla hose with quick connects, Uberflex pressure hose with quick connects, MJJC Foam Cannon, Mega Foam, Tire Cleaner, etc. Where the Dewalt 2400 spit foam and was very runny....this thing looked like I was laying down layer of snow on ski slope. Like night and day performance. No leaks, no issues, no worries.... Thanks for the reviews.

I mentioned this awhile back in the FB group, but never pull the trigger on the gun without something plugged in, eg wand, foam cannon, nozzle, as you WILL blow out the O-ring. You will never find it, so order extra O-rings.

Btw... if you take off the side bits, it squeezes in to the bottom shelf of a small IKEA cart. Wrap the cord around the cart, mount a tube / pipe on the side, and you’ve got a decent little wheel around setup.

Don't think about it, just close your eyes and press "BUY" and you won't regret it. It's STUPID GOOD. So much so that since I was starting on the Kool Aid I bought 3 Pressol Industrial v1.3 LMNOP spray bottles and...WHO KNEW a SPRAY BOTTLE could be so awesome.
