Link for that awesome starter pressure washer here - jcb-tools.co.uk/pressure-washers/ A genuinely glowing review from me for it, I actually don't think there's anything in that price range that competes currently. I went through about £6,000 worth of various jet washes before upgrading to this final setup I have now. If this had of existed then, I would of saved myself lots of money and time for sure. Hope you enjoy the video and let me know if you enjoyed it as I have tons of other comparison/time challenge video ideas.

[@garyjefferies6763]

Comparisons are always good these days. Reviews are often tainted by idiots not understanding what they've bought, how to use them properly or can't be bothered reading instructions before buying or prior to using the kit (especially on Amazon. Last one I saw last night was “smaller than expected.” Dimensions were on the listing so one can only assume their measurements were 50% bigger than everyone else). #devolving evolution.

Hi , good vid. when I saw the jcb name and price I thought Wow might be the one for me. I want a machine to clean tracked plant machines and my muddy yard but if I'm to buy a machine why not get one to clean drives etc and have another string to my bow. I use stihl, husqvana, Kubota etc. These are all the real deal and have the full back up of parts for their machines. I contacted a distributor of Jcb tools pressure washer and I also contacted JCB. JCB could only tell me that Jcb tools is on licence so they pay to use the name. They couldn't help me in any other way. The distributor could sell me the machine and offer a 3 year guarantee domestic or year commercial guarantee , the latter I thought was not a gift but actually the law. I was confused about the statement that it is fitted with a JCB engine! I don't think JCB make and engine like that. The problems that really stuck out for me was there is no parts list availlable and no direct emailing to Jcb Tools. I have rebuilt stihl saw that are 25 year old and haven't had any problems getting parts yet the distributor couldn't give me a parts list or order parts. If this Jcb tools machine didn't have the JCB LOGO on you probably wouldn't have reviewed it and customers wouldn't be thinking they own a JCB machine. I don't want to sound like I'm slagging it down, I want to buy a good cheap machine but I wouldn't recommend to anyone to buy a machine you can't email the manufacturer , you can't easily get parts and the name has been bought on liciense to sell the product. People who are starting up and have very little knowledge of this type of kit are the very ones who can't afford to pay less. I'm still looking and my yard is getting muddier so if you have any proffessional brands you know of , I'd be grateful for any info. Bob

Generally speaking the main difference between commercial and consumer products is what is called duty cycle. A consumer product just won't be rated for use on a daily basis. My late mother used to buy £15 battery chargers for charging car batteries for electric fences. She kept moaning that they were failing all the time. I told her to get a properly rated one and they stopped failing.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

for sure, the 3 year warranty with this is the key. and most new starters won't have enough work to be blasting 8 hours a day 5-6 days a week like me, by that time you can definitely afford a big big upgrade

One of your US fans here from Akron, Ohio. I love your willingness to support other businesses with your knowledge and encouragement! I also love that you and Ben from Flawless Cleaning Services rely on each other for advice from time to time. You two are the only pressure washing channels I subscribe to. I was recently watching some of your older videos, and in one you explained how you got started in the business. I think it was the one where you were cleaning for your very first clients, and how your business grew from there. I wish you continued success and happiness.

[@AlexDerange]

would absolutely love to see comparisons of pressure washers, hoses, ect.. and let people decide if they're ok with spending double or triple the time for like a tenth of the price, or things like that

The problem with replacements is the time and effort you go to and the money that passes you by while you're waiting for the replacement.

Hi Sid, interesting comparison. Maybe you could compare a home karcher setup to the JCB to show why it's good to get professionals in. Just an idea.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

good idea, think a standard karcher would probably be 5-10x slower

Thise companys need the testing and feedback to find out how it truly works and whats posetive and negative and what needs to be impruved so they can create a great product so it is worth it to them to send it so win for them,win for Cameron who gets a much needed tool for his work,you win by not only getting vidio done but doing testing as well as work done with a bit of fun with friend😊

I would love to see the flat surface cleaners, I’ve watched a few people do cleaning jobs on here and some of them seem very streaky, but I can’t tell if it’s equipment or technique.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

most of the time its technique, just doing straight lines on some surfaces will cause it hence why you'll see me do circle motions on nearly everything apart from blockpaving. other times it's dodgy jets or just going too fast. I will grab a cheap one and compare it to my one though for sure

I've actually got this machine great little starter model. My only problem is starting the machine sometimes it can take a few minutes to get going but once going it's a beast. Other problems you'll have is moving it around to a back garden with poor access as the wheels make the machine really wide for most alley ways. I actually got some wheel ramps for my van to make it easy for on/off movement. But overall really happy with it.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Try the pressing the trigger down on the lance when you pull start it, more often than not it is just air pockets in the hose so it struggles to prime properly, all my previous pullstart machines did it from time to time. - yeah camerons got some ramps with his one, it's definitely pretty heavy for one guy to lift in and out without ramps

[@ep5796]

Hey Sid how you doing buddy Great to see your back online after the birth of your son congratulations. I wanted to give you kind of a heads up and I'm not saying in any way that you wouldn't have already figured this out yourself but just in case... I used to work for an environmental company and we did hydroblasting inside of Mills. It's important to know what the business is doing for its purpose before you go in and clean. Always make sure you check with your government or your state the agency that governs the laws and regulations of industry. For example, we went into paper mills and their Mill rights would set everything up that they wanted to have cleaned and we would clean it. However once we were done cleaning it we had to throw all of our PPE, or boots, everything that was in that environment had to be burned. We were not allowed to take it out into the community. So that is my point, it'd be great to get industrial jobs but you need to know ahead of time what that company does for a living, where are the dangerous environments, etc. One more thing I would like to point out to you maybe it doesn't matter in this instance cuz I'm looking at a sign I think says molasses but anytime you're standing in front of a tank that has shut off valves. Never put your body in front of them. They may look innocent or they may be under high pressure. You just never know. Anyway take care of yourself, and know that your viewers will always have your back. Peace

[@neilstokescvwshrewsbury7939]

Hi Sid. I have been wondering if you could show us why the Surface Cleaner nozzles would break when you try to clean permeable tarmac/black top...?

A question I have about it is; would the Surface Cleaner still get destroyed if the tool were _not_ connected to a collection drum...?(which was on his trailer...)

I looked at the JCB before buying the Slipstream Pro 20 in July this year. If you can, I would advise to stretch that little bit more and get the 20 (or an equivalent Honda GX390 engine) if you are getting it for a business (as opposed to simply using it on your own property).

your surface cleaner will just need to have a quick release female fitting on it - it doesn't matter which surface cleaner you go for as they can all be fitted with that fitting on purchase usually, best to head into a shop where you can grab those in person so they can sort it all out for you
