I got the Active VE52 based on his previous video about it. I was angry when it failed after 8 uses! I looked up negative reviews and found a fair amount of people having the unit fail after a few washes. I contacted Active and they told me to send a video of it/pics, I did and they immediately sent me a NEW unit. My new unit is 7 months in and running strong. When this one fails I will definitely pick up this new active pressure washer because they stand behind their product and didnt leave me hanging or have me send it back to repair it with parts, they sent me a new unit! very satisfied.

That's the mark of a good manufacturer. We are a distributor of a German boiler manufacturer, when they entered the UK market it was a bit of a disaster, their initial model had 2 parts that would fail reliably. They paid for every single one to be retrofitted with revised parts, and the subsequent models fixed the problem, they have now been easily the best product on the market for 12 years.

For a company to work together on developing a product to 'OG specs" I'm loving it. This is going to take off and you will see all the competitors going to try and imitate. But I believe OG/Active really displayed why they developed a loyal customer base. Keep on doing what you're doing.

As soon as I expanded the description, opened up the tab to the OG site and saw it as available for preorder, I snatched my wallet and made an order. You guys saved me a bunch as I was thinking about getting the AR630. The new Active 2.0 puts out similar numbers at less than half the cost and amperage of the AR630 and that’s a mega win in my book. Sure, the AR630 is targeted at prosumers/professionals and is serviceable. But for me, I’d buy 3 of these 2.0 before a single 630. If or when James and the Active team make a serviceable version of this 2.0 at slightly better numbers all while barely touching 15 amps, $800+ for that model is easily justifiable to me.

I blew my shoulder out 20 years ago... I've purchase a number of gas powered (2300psi) units over the years, they get harder to start over time and my shoulder simply can not handle more than 5 or 6 pulls. Last year I purchased an electric start 3100 psi/2.5 GPM Generac 7132 and it has worked fine, but there is a recall on the unit and I am thinking of returning it completely due to the hassles (there is a newer model, but doesn't seem to be available yet in Canada). I use it mostly a few times a year to clean my composite deck (using a rotating/helicopter surface clearer - takes about 30 minutes) and for my ~100ft interlock driveway a couple times of year. I would use it more, like cleaning my car, but the noise and mobility is of issue... My gut seems to feel staying with a gas unit is better, but watching this video seem pretty impressive... but it consistently references car cleaning... which would not be may main purpose... is the Active 2.0 a reasonable replacement or should I stick with the Generac (newer model) (or other recommendations)?

Older machines may not be attractive as newer ones but they are really quality made.

One reason the Active can "ramp up" in GPM whereas the Kranzle appears to be stuck is due to the universal vs induction motor. An induction's absolute max rpm is 1800 at 0 load, and roughly 1700 under load (or 3600 and 3400). Let's say you had an orifice that did 2.0 GPM @ 1200 psi @ 1700 rpm, even if you doubled the orifice, the motor can only spin to 1800, where the pump displaces 2.12 gpm @ essentially 0 psi. Hence why the Kranzle has a narrow sweet spot. A universal can keep spinning faster with lower load (+ orifice), with psi dropping slightly but gradually due to back EMF reducing motor torque.
