New AVA premium snow foam lance review

[@muchachogrande2019]

Seems pretty cool and it's good to see someone put in some actual thought into a product instead of just regurgitating the same old design and approach over and over

[@rtamck]

Three bottles is perfect if you use the Autoglym Polar range. All can be mixed before you even start, then all you need to do is change the bottle. Maybe AG should start selling sets of bottles for their polar blaster!

[@motographics]

youl need three bottles with AVA to keep up with the chemicals it EATS 🤑

[@christopherruddick88]

Have bought one of these love it. I use it with my karcher with quick release. A quick release to karcher bayonet works perfectly no issue with it. 😅

[@g4rymw110]

Only found AVA products last week as I was searching for a new pressure washer for my own car detailing, they seem to think of every practical thing and finest detail on their products for ease of use , impressed with their way of thinking and now tempted to purchase the p60 and add accessories as I go , the 3 bottles are great as you say for pre wash , snow, shampoo, great review, looking forward to more product reviews from AVA

[@kevinb7058]

I'm waiting for the protein shake comments 🤣🤣

[@jamiepollock2008]

Was just about to make one but yours beat me to it lol

[@marshprofessionaldetailing9794]

First thing I thought of.

[@basslinefreshdetailing]

WOW I was ready for this to be a tasteless add-on, but these actually seem well thought out and useful beyond a normal Foam Cannon! Thanks for the thorough review Mr. Forensic

[@bluerineimb1148]

John I've had a ava for past two years it is the No1 dude of all the electric pressure washers

[@WreckedRectum]

I've also had an AVA Master P80 for a few years as well now. It's very powerful, has very high sustained pressure and has a lot of nice features like different holders for lances and different attachments. It also seems very stable and hard to topple over. It appears to be built to last for quite a long time too, but time will tell, but the 20 year guarantee should speak for itself in that regard. The customer service has been above and beyond as well. I hope they will keep focusing on innovating more in the detailing world.

[@jollun4561]

Quick reminder. AVA guns have the same fitting as kärcher etc in the high pressure end, this lance would fit a kärcher pistol and any other pistol/handle that has the K fit system.

[@davelawrence594]

Wow sounds like a great idea around especially if it comes with 3bottles & what a awesome idea with the lids!! 👌🏻👍🏻😁

[@miniman2645]

I like the extra containers

[@gkaruk]

Just picked up an AVA P60 Smart (on its way for May BH w/e) so be interesting in future to switch up to this Foam Lance in future. Also, nice that it comes with 3x bottles, good stand using lid and the internal measuring seems useful. As a hobbyist/new to detailing find your videos John really helpful and insightful. Learning more each day, which gets harder in your 50s, growing slowly :)

[@steveswain4646]

Hi John, the karcher adapter fits straight on and works perfectly. Got an adaptor from amazon no surprise, push on and twist and no leaks

[@dontask824]

where does the apacter connect to and is it a quick release ?

[@roger4880]

Looks like a good package and nice to see a European brand doing well rather than something from the place where knock offs are made 👍

[@adi_trek]

Ava and Karcher have the same kind of fitting (Ava is just easier to fit), so I think you should be able to use it with Karcher without any problem? A basic Ava gun btw gives quite thick foam but has a big disadvantage and the reason why I have changed mine is that it uses a lot of chemicals. Love the creativity of Ava here again, and the 3 cups for different chemicals. Thanks for the review.

[@acke26]

its the same connection as kärcher K series. If you have quick release just buy an adapter for Kärcher K series

[@umranhu]

This looks like an amazing all round product. If i still had an ava machine this would have been a defo purchase for me

[@peterclarke5305]

Have seen these before and can't wait until you can get them with a 1/4 quick release fitting

[@OraEtLabora0]

2:52 that's irrelevant point Jon - apparently AVA's 10y warranty covers only resi/domestic use. i'm happy to be corrected...

[@anthonycross6392]

Great review, Jon. I hope they do a karcher adapter for this lance, im definitely interested in buying one. Thanks for the review.

[@acke26]

its the same connetion as kärcher k.

[@sixtysecondsofstephens2386]

So we'll thought about, great features.

[@andygowing9677]

I've been using a P80 master pressure washer for a few years. Love it. I recently bought the premium canon ( the one in your cupboard) and to both my and AVAs surprise it was vastly inferior to the cheap plastic canon that comes as standard with the washer. They sent me another and that was the same. I even shot video on all settings and shared with AVA. AVA customer support are brilliant. They refunded but I'm still left with the kit canon. I wonder if I'll have more success with this version?

[@ForensicDetailing]

I've got the one you had but I've not used it. This new one seems good m8.

[@baz4x4r]

Would also fit Karcher as I think all of AVA’s tools have the same fittings as Karcher.

[@chriswebster3197]

Another great video/review Jon, thank you. You mentioned the 2 red bungs on the MJJC that you have on your shelf, what are the 2 red bungs for?

[@ForensicDetailing]

Breather holes but plug lable if foaming upside down. See mjjc website mu

[@simongibbs3936]

Caveat I am easily pleased but I think this is an outstanding product. Love their buckets as well.

[@Glories999]

Recently purchased this with my kacher k4, but the snow foam came out nothing like this, kinda just shot out in a straight line rather than spraying. Maybe because I used it with the vario lance, and not a short one.

[@jasonphillips3865]

I have most snow foam lances and the MJJC V3.0 is the daddy for me.

[@cocoplops4982]

Any idea if the cups will fit the original foam cannon?

[@simonjones7766]

Great vid john! Does this lance empty as rapidly as the standard 700ml lance that comes with the ava?

[@ForensicDetailing]

500ml per car on setting 9

[@simonjones7766]

Mmmmm i think i will go for the carscope one

[@M.E63]

Very Interesting features, of course you want more than one bottle, I managed to pick up a extra bottle for my MJJC Lance so I can put car shampoo in it, I wish the AVA one had quick release, I also I managed to pickup the best budget foam Lance on the market, I tried quite a few and this one beats even brands like auto glym and auto brite etc

[@marenghi123]

Auto glym has a 3 stage snow foam application process

[@Dinocoblue2]

Great video Jon, wondering if you've had a chance to look at the new Meguires Megafoam Snow Cannon?

[@christycribbin889]

Have you used the big boi lance? The clear one. Foam looks decent from it and the lance is a nice tool

[@decker0373]

The fitting looked like the karcher fitting, don't suppose you can use that lance/cannon on a Karcher?

[@robstaples6649]

Yes it is a Karcher fitting, i use an old Karcher compatible lance on my Ava as the supplied snow foam attachment referred to in this video is completely useless!

[@decker0373]

@@robstaples6649 thanks Rob, appreciate your reply 👍

[@richardkeeling5821]

great review once again, do you know if AVA have made a quick release edition of the lance? I've got the Autoglym snow foam lance and I'm after a couple of spare bottles with lids so i don't have to dispose of each section of the polar snow foam series every wash, do you know of anyone who sells spare bottles with lids?

[@ForensicDetailing]

There's qr adapter m8

[@Retset]

I have the Autobrite lance with the In2D conical bottle (bought after your horror story video where lance dented BMW!). I am very pleased with my new P70 but the supplied lance is crap. I'm hoping I can just take the fitting off the Autobrite and buy a Karcher one, as I believe that's what Ava uses. If I can't, the 3 bottle system on the Ava lance is rather appealing ...

[@Geeky_detail_reviews]

Hi Jon, I to have it on test and like you i am thoroughly enjoying put it through its paces. I’ve tried it on multiple machines, with multiple products and it keeps performing. Great video. Regards Geeky detail reviews

[@ForensicDetailing]

nice one mate

[@ScrappersDetailing]

Great review. Some very new concepts. I wonder how long before some of the other big players adopt some of those ideas.

[@anniundpatty6012]

Hard to judge from the video, but to me it looks like the containers might fit into cup holders which would be awesome for everyone who doesn‘t wash at home.

[@thomasw9193]

Hi Jon, I’ve recently got myself a nice P60 Evolution to play with and thinking of getting this foam cannon with the 3 bottles. I’m really new to car detailing and have only used the foam cannon that came with the washer with Bilt Hamber Touchless, is this upgrade properly worth it in your opinion? Many thanks, Tom

[@ForensicDetailing]

Yes the stock lance is not great. Alternative is go qr gun l. I did video on this

[@Waspada-mh6up]

permission to ask if kaolin is mixed wax, can it be teacher. please reply. thanks

[@fordyford]

It's a shame they haven't fixed the draw rate. I have the standard foam cannon and I get 2/3 the way around my Fiesta ST and it runs out. Otherwise the premium one looks decent. Ava seem to look at what is inconvenient about pressure washing and improve it. Really love my P60 Master.

[@gsmith882]

It's a shame they don't sell a single flask option as I'm never going to use 3 flasks and £45 is a little over my budget after buying a Smart P60. Do you want to sell me one of your freebies John?? I'm local, Chichester can collect 😅

[@anthonydavid1965]

I wonder if using a lid for the base could lead to grit/dirt from the floor, when resting the lance, to enter the bottle!

[@ForensicDetailing]

thats interesting yer I think it could but maybe just like dunk it in the wash bucket when you are done washing and cleaning up all the tools at the end.

[@nirmalparmar3960]

Which would you say is better - I’m after a snow foam cannon for my 7 series and I’m looking at either MJJC pro V2 or the AVA premium snow foam lance. What’s your thoughts? Many thanks

[@ForensicDetailing]

its really this simply. if your using a quick release customer gun and you want the thickest foam I would go mjjc pro2. If your using an AVA gun and PW, and you like the idea of 3 different container for wheel cleaner, shampoo, snow foam etc go AVA gun. The ava gun is not as thick foam wise but its a pretty cool piece of innovation and its easyer to pour and measure ratios in their system with it.

[@nirmalparmar3960]

[@jackarmstrong46]

I don't know why they don't make them with M22 or quick disconnect as standard ....

[@ForensicDetailing]

its for a wider market. I think quick connect is better personally. I would prolly go down the quick connect route as well if I made pressure washers and really gun for the detailing market.

[@jezhibbett1973]

It's the same connector as karcher

[@rallyeroamer3371]

Hi Jon, does the MJJC lance fit in the AVA gun? I am torn between this and the MJJC. Thanks My old lance not MJJC but with a Karcher fitment fits but leaks badly.

[@ForensicDetailing]

ive not tested but you might be able to use karcher fitment on the mjjc or use QR adapter on the AVA gun mate

[@markwhittington7134]

I think for me until they change it to quick release I wouldn't consider having one but the rest looks spot on.

[@ForensicDetailing]

there is a quick release solution. I will show it now in the community tab pictures.

The standard one is horrendous, empties in seconds and is all over the place ….

[@brimplas1]

I Just hope the ava doesn't break on you buddy, the warranty promises the world but doesn't live up to expectations 😢. From repeatedly sending emails in Norwegian, 48hrs plus to reply to any emails, then insisting you install the failed part 😮.. imagine bmw saying we will send you out a new engine out for you to fit yourself.....wish i would have bought a different brand now.

[@cameronstevenson5894]

Ava are taking over from karcher

[@ForensicDetailing]

they have potential to. They are priced to compete, they come with longer warrenties. the hoses and guns are better. theres more features. and AVA are more aware of detailing and seem to be innovating. Still think a system based on QR and proper stubbys is the way to go though but the AVA guns are decent.

[@coastalrider1155]

All that StuffIt does and no quick release

[@motographics]

Typical AVA...too much plastic used overall and uses a ton of chemicals in the foam lance..i have had two of AVA's pressure washers the AVA P60 Evolution + P55 go, both i returned due to build quality issues! "im an engineer as trade" i cant complain with AVA's customer service though! it was next to none...if you want quality kit your better off saving your pennies and going with a Kranzzle unit pair with a MTM or MJJC foam lance both are a great combo. you get what you pay for in this instance 100%.

[@acke26]

I have the total different experience with my P70. Im super satisfied with AVAs outstanding technical solutions. Im not sure what you mean with "too much plastic used overall". AVA has the same basics as most other brands. The Italian Kranzle , has less plastic thats correct but the absens of an outer shell results in a much noicier machine (78dB !!!)

[@motographics]

@@acke26 I’m not sure where you got that information from? the kranzzles are designed built and assembled in Germany and the K7 is near silent under 48db under load far quieter than a AVA you can barley hear the motor running over the lance water pressure.. and by plastic I mean the bottles,lances and guns are plastic Kranzzle use mostly metal components. I’m not totally knocking AVA they are far superior than kartcher for the price!, just as an engineer and part time detailer, I have had the fortunate opportunity of owning two AVA models and a Kranzzle K7.. I and many other detailers can faithfully say your pennies are better spent saved up to spend on the Kranzzle.

[@acke26]

@@motographics - some models are labeled "Made in Italy" There are several noice tests comparing pressure washers where Kranzle are amongst the most noisy ones (probably cause they lack of an outer shell) The components inside the gun and other accessories are made of stainless steel and brass etc in AVA, but is covered with plastic.

[@acke26]

@@motographics - no doubt the Kranzle holds top quality.

[@motographics]

@@acke26 My New K7 says made in Germany on the unit, "Kranzle Pressure Washers have been manufactured in Germany, since launch in 1974" my unit also has no outer shell and is silent 48db under load, compared to both AVA models i owned its the difference between having almost a shouting match over the AVA and a normal volume conversation with the K7 running , im not saying your information is wrong as im also unsure on the more powerful and potentially louder Kranzle units ... but as ive said ive had two AVA's a P60 evolution + P55 go and one Kranzzle K7. There is also no brass in the kranzle units. + the lances are stainless steel vs plastic. (the stubby gun as standard on the AVA is a nice touch for sure) Honestly i loved AVA until i owned a kranzle you realize the difference ! but then again there not cheap either.. im not knocking AVA at all in fact ive even written them a 5 star review on google a few weeks ago just for the price VS performance. its just nice to have the options of other better built units.

Hard pass as soon as you said “proprietary”. You can also buy extra MJJC bottles on its own and have a similar system, pre wash, foam wash etc.
