Save Yourself HUNDREDS Before Buying Giraffe Pressure Washers | Giraffe Tools Garbage

Hey Matt, thank you. Keep being yourself. You may not be able to drive a car efficiently, but your integrity and honesty is off the charts great. Keep telling it like it is. You help me/us significantly. Thank you!

Why is Matt not able to drive a car efficiently? Poor vision? Or is it just a joke?

@jadoctor he has an anxiety problem. Something he's been battling for a long time. I'm not sure of clinical term, and I'm not sure what kind of treatment he's receiving. Prayers go Matts way.

On your recommendation, I bought a Karcher K1700 in May of 2019 and it’s still going strong after 4 years of weekly washes for 2 cars. I’ve since bought 3 more and stashed them at my Mom’s house, my GF’s parents’ house and my Aunt’s house so I always have one available to clean their cars when I visit. At $120 a pop, they’re such an excellent value. I’ve got your advanced upgrade kit and the upgraded gun/wand/hose/nozzles make it an absolute joy to use. Appreciate all your hard work in vetting these products for us. We’re lucky to have you, Matt!

[@seashackf1]

When I saw KZbinrs promoting these I looked at them and knew instantly they were crap. Have to thank the great OG pressure washing testing videos for gaining the knowledge. They make no sense. $300 + for an $80 pressure washer. So when that cheap pressure washer motor goes bad and isn’t repair-able the hose reel is useless also and you have to buy both again. Far better off to buy the Ryobi or Karcher and a separate hose reel.

[@L8-APEX]

There's really nothing I enjoy more than watching Matt get ticked off and speaking his mind on a product(s) he hates 😂

[@NicholasShumaker]

I have the Grandfalls Pro. To me it works great and has plenty of pressure for car detailing. Personally I don't want paint-stripping levels of spray pressure for car washing, I have another portable pressure washer that I can use for that if needed. Could it use a bit higher GPM?...yes, but it is sufficient overall. Would be nice if it were more like 2 or 2.3 GPM, but again it's OK. It seems to be made well-enough and I have had no issues with it, but time will tell long-term. Part of the equation in buying it is I could buy 4-6 of these units for the price of a pro-level wall mount setup, and the usage rate of a home-user a couple times per month vs a professional detailer comes into the equation as well with regard to expected longevity. If I were doing this professionally I would definitely not select this unit. Also worth noting as I investigated these the Pro model is a big improvement over the earlier/lower models b/c of the improved motor. Good luck! YMMV.

[@mccfan11]

Just got it for Christmas and enjoyed my first wash very much. Even strong enough to blast grime off my pavers

[@ObsessedGarage]

This is by far the worst performing while also being the highest price consumer grade pressure washer. Any Ryboi, SunJoe, Greenworks, AR are better than this by a wide margin. I've literally tested them all. Shoot, you could get a legit Karcher for $180. This goes to show how poor consumers are at buying stuff. It's the main reason why I'm here, to save you from yourself.

[@NicholasShumaker]

@@ObsessedGarage thanks. Are any of those wall mounted? That’s the rub. There are no wall mounted competitors anywhere near the price point. I have a Greenworks portable and before that had two Karcher portables. Karchers were absolute crap and died in less than a year. Greenworks has been going strong for 3+ years. Love your videos and site, no harm intended just don’t completely agree with you on this one. Thanks for all you do.

[@mandsrichardson7422]

@@NicholasShumakerthat’s exactly it Nicholas. I watched this video before getting my first one. He makes good points but I’m not doing anything commercial. I just want a regular pressure washer that is more convenient. The g20 and g30 gets the job done. I’ve had other versions which weren’t convenient. We wouldn’t use them as after because of the hassle. The higher price is justified by the convenience.

[@ccdetailing]

It is true that they try to reach out to smaller creators, hoping that they'll get excited that a company noticed them, with them not knowing any better. They reached out to me before and I declined, but not every small creator knows what BS might look like. They take advantage of the creator's excitement for being noticed. That is their marketing scheme. I would 100% recommend the Active 2.0 if anyone is in the comments looking at suggestions or feedback from others. Amazing pressure washer for this price range.

I bought a Karcher 1700 after watching your video, spec’s the orifice nozzles, an Amazon hose reel and Amazon hose and it has run for hundreds, Yes hundreds of hours without drama. One time I was wearing headphones and I had disconnected the water with the machine on and it ran for anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute WITHOUT WATER. It has never failed me and I plan on replacing it with another 1700 when it’s gone it’s been that good.

[@imjoshv]

Hey Matt great video! Ive never used their more expensive units and its a shock to see the lack of performance at the price of these . I did a review on their new unit the G20 and for $200 it seemed to be a decent option for someone who wants an all in 1 unit where they dont have to mess with setting up everything separately. Although it peaked at about 15.60 amps with the nozzles it came with. With a 3.5 nozzle i was at about 950psi and close to 1.7 gpm which was very surprising to me. They sent me the unit and tried to get me to sign a contract which i said no thank you to, exactly for the same reason you just bought these... I wanted to be 100% honest in the review (i actually only took the unit from them because they werent available to purchase at the time and I wanted to test it out). Most of the accessories and casing i referred to as "fine" nothing great but again for the person that doesnt want to mess with extra upgrades it would get the job done. Anyways, thanks for shining some light on their more expensive units. As you said in the video, not everyone can afford a Kranzle but at 380 and 600 these ones are are not cheap by any means and that performance does not justify the price

Honestly feels like you just want people to go to your store. The kranzel you want everyone to buy is doing 1.9 gpm vs 1.6 the giraffe. The giraffe is dirt cheap I’m sure most people would be plenty happy with the performance. For outside pressure water stuff better off with a gas powered high flow pressure washer.

Joshv did a test using pressure gauges, and simple tests to gallons per minute. His results were: the largest and most expensive didn’t fare well in the test, the smaller less expensive one had decent results. Just because it doesn’t deliver the results that your $2000 unit does, doesn’t mean it is junk! Wow! To call people who may own one of these units idiots is ridiculous! Hopefully no one will buy from obsessed garage…the real idiots! No, I don’t own one of these!

[@Carbons_Redeye]

Thanks for posting an honest review, I was sent 2 Units for free, The Regular Version & Pro Version they both stopped working within a year. Like mentioned it blew my breaker multiple time because it was maxing out over 15amp. To be honest at first I loved it being 100ft Retractable hose being able to do my driveway etc. But for the regular consumer I wouldn't buy them. Be Warned. I just picked up a Active 2.0.

[@DM-ws7pd]

This guy is full of contradictions....says he could tell that the Giraffe was crap even before testing. But he also says in this video that the pump is "likely" in the bottom of the unit. So dude is either careless/imprecise with words or lying. And who really cares if there is a lag (1 second in fact) between letting go of the trigger and when the unit turns off? Wouldn't this be due to the 100ft line length (expansion) and not the fricken switch? There's a ton of other lunacy in this video "I'm not going to" do this and that and then he does it. Crazy town.

If/when it fails, I will pickup a legit setup. Also, I must have gotten the super low level version because it was $280 when I bought it. Hoping this decision doesn't get me banned from the Obsessed Garage family haha.

A cheap Home Depot pressure washer lasts me about 5 years with moderate use. Then I go buy another one. If I was using it commercially, then of couse I'd spend money on the best one available. Same thing with my zero turn mower. I got a $4000 Toro Timecutter that I've had for five years now instead of buying a $15,000 Exmark or Scag that is designed for commercial use.

Agree with a lot of what you said about falling into the marketing trap. With so much sponsored content online now it's hard to know what's an actual good product or not. I'm basically of the mindset that if I see dozens of people on KZbin pushing the same thing (i.e. Athletic Greens), I probably won't buy it. I'm curious about the $200 Husqvarna unit they have at Costco. It looks really nice, but can't find much about it online.

[@lucasaubin1661]

If you are talking about the gas one, one of my friend who is a weekend warrior when it comes to detailing has it. It gets used once or twice a week to wash cars and he bought it about a year ago. He had two small leaks happen in that time period both of which were only cheap o-rings. Other than that he really likes it

[@Robthebob_]

I had the electric Husqvarna for about a year. Overall it was decent and gave me no issues during my time with it. I upgraded to a Kranzle and gave it away, but with Costco's warranty it is a solid option. I will say that in order to use the stock hose you must be a massachist, so budget for a replacement.

[@avidworkslol]

@@Robthebob_ I've got an aftermarket hose and wand already, I just need a new unit because the ancient Snap On washer I have now apparently died. Maybe I'll check it out, just wasn't sure if it was worth it over something like the Kranzle K1700 that Matt sells. Good point on the warranty.

[@ObsessedGarage]

That one is terrible. It is the same as the Briggs and Stratton. They were some of the worst I tested. I'd rather have the $90 Ryobi 1600 over that.

[@TyDaSpace]

The moment you said 10K camera, 5K table, MacBook Pro to read a spreadsheet, then I understood where you are coming from. This video threw a wrench in my plans for choice of pressure washers initially as I am doing my garage makeover currently but I ultimately still went with this product. My analysis was that your use case and my use case are completely different. You don't even trust the Kranzle enough to not fail that you use 2 Kranzle inline (It makes zero sense to me) but I'm sure it is fantastic for your use case. For the 4 months of good weather we get here in Alberta Canada, the simplicity of the giraffe compared to the jerryrigging and all the individual pieces you have to purchase to use active 2 in the same fashion setup makes the giraffe a better value for me least in Canada. The active will costing additional 300 bucks at least by the time you are done with all the additional accessories. The giraffe is a very simple setup for the average home owner and I can easily pick it up on Amazon. For a professional detailer, then it might not be good . I just installed mine today. 30 days to see how I like it if not , I can return it at no cost and it.

[@ObsessedGarage]

That is the worst pressure washer I ever tested. You wasted your money. I would have recommended an $80 Ryobi with your logic.

[@TyDaSpace]

@@ObsessedGarage I am really open to alternatives all in one solution in the same price with the excat same features that the giraffe offers as I already have a gas powered pressure washer from Simoniz for heavy duty stuff. I just need something for casual use. I hate having to bring out the pressure washer and start connecting hoses just to do a quick wash. I have searched with no luck. We don't get a good product selection here in Canada unlike you guys in the states. What specific model of Ryobi is that so I can go check it? I can still return the giraffe if I find a better alternative. I paid 350 bucks the non plus model of the giraffe.

[@HLinHD]

I was looking for a reasonable response and after scrolling for 5 minutes yours is the only one that mirrors my sentiments. And a coincidence that I'm also from Alberta. This review completely overlooks the selling point of the Giraffe, not once does he talk about the fact that it is wall mounted all in one solution with 100ft hose. I've been using a cheap typical pressure washer from Home Depot for years, and I'm sick of carting out the power cable and extending the hose, and expending effort lifting the unit around the car. As far as I can see, if you want convenience, this is by far the CHEAPEST solution and it makes no sense to compare it against rolling pressure washers. The cheapest unit that OG sells is 3x the price of this Giraffe Pro I bought. I did appreciate the technical details about pressure washers in general, but I am willing to pay extra for the convenience and pay that trade off against a cheap motor. It is more than enough to wash my floors, deck and cars.

[@muttmotel5209]

Agreed! I went through 4 of them. It got to the point to where I did not want anymore replacements due to the work involved mounting them. lol!

[@jacobscutzlas8712]

I could not disagree with your opinion more. I love this pressure washer. A year and a half and no issues...perfect to wash a car. Not everyone needs pro level stuff to wash their car or to do small tasks around the house. Several of my friends bought them after they saw mine and how convenient it is. Out of 4 units between me and my friends one has failed because it was left outside in below 0 temperatures. Guess what they replaced it no questions asked. The hose reel convivence is unbeatable and frankly unmatched. To say this is the worst pressure washer in existence is just frankly not true and it sounds like you made this video because it was taking money away from "your" products.

[@overlandingturtle8480]

That’s cute you bought a terrible product!! Sounds like you and “your friends” share the same ignorant mindset. But I am sure you spent your money wisely and are just frustrated you can’t admit you lack any intelligence.

[@paul9387]

Matt, few things I hate about this pressure washer. First and most Giraffe Tools customer service is terrible, they have no clue. You ask the same question ten different ways, and they still won't know. Mount should be at least 16 inches wide. In order to mount that I had to open my wall, this thing is heavy. Of course, you can do plywood or any type of board, but it would push it out of the wall and look bad. The water inlet is so weak, I broke one already trying to put a 90 elbow, and I don't know who engineered this, but man, it's a nightmare. I have the orange one, supposedly with a better hose. It's still stiff and hard to maneuver, I can only imagine how the previous model must be having a new one so bad. But at least it's replaceable, so I might change it one day. Foam cannon that came with it is too small, barely can go around my car with first hit of foam, but this can be fixed by simply getting a bigger foam cannon. We will see how long this machine lasts. Other than that, I can't complain. Sound doesn't bother me. Mine doesn't squeek like the first versions were, so Giraffe Tools fixed that at least. I'm using MTM SGS28 with QDs, screw their original gun. Hose reel works with no issues, I never had any issues with it. Its locking mechanism works great, too. I added a 20amp separate circuit just for this washer, so I can't really tell what would happen if one had it on a 15amp along with some other stuff plugged in. Oh, and their Giraffe Tools logo falls off. Of course, I told them that, but they disregarded my message after my previous attempts to get some other answers about other things. Matt, I've spent close to $2500 just for the prevost piping setup I've built. Investing so much and going with a shitty washer like GT is a rape right here, but I did what I did, had to cut corners somewhere. In general, I'm happy with this washer, although it needs some improvements. Plus, I can't compare it to anything else except SunJoe, never used Krenzle or AR or any others, so I might not know if grass is greener on the other side.

Well I went ahead and bought the pro 3 months back and it seems to work great. I've only been using it for 2 months or so. Although I will admit that the metal brand name came off right away. I mounted it into a custom sound enclosure to keep it out of the weather and quiet. After 20min continuous use the enclosure does not heat up. It has more than enough power to wash our cars and also to remove paint and algae and stuff from surfaces around the house. It foams very well. Best of all it self coils in an instant making this regular chore a breeze. And for my situation I actually need the 100ft of hose. I paid $420 during Black Friday sale - seems to be available for $540 normally.

Talk about a buzz kill, something told me this product was too good to be true... But now I can adapt my layout/plans to upgrade down the road when this ultimately fails. So glad I did not sell my original power washer.

[@anthonywoodruff8579]

Really looking forward to your review of the Active 2.3. Any plans for a review before release?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I have one. I have to test it on camera in the next few weeks.

[@Enthusiast_detailing]

I have ran a $30 used ryobi 1600 I got from Facebook market place for a year now. I’ve done my patio, driveway, house and of course car washes and it still runs like a champ. I plan on going to an active when it dies but it just keeps going

[@ObsessedGarage]

That's a much better way to go than this.

[@seashackf1]

OG testing proved the Ryobi and Karcher are the best under $200.

[@muffy604]

The wipe your rear end with money and flush it down the toilet cause that's what you just did made me LOL

[@Marty-F]

Thanks so much for saving me! I've been wanting one of these things, because they look so good. And wall mounted too. Going to block them now, because they hammer me with ads.

[@PabloConcrete]

Matt, could you post the links to the above Giraffe products as I cannot locate them on your website, please? I would like to honour the source!

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha....

[@JuniorJr_23]

Thanks for the heads up.

[@joehopkins1889]

Just been watching your giraffe pressure washer. Was going to buy one next week. Thank God I watched it. Can you tell me in your opinion for everyday use around the house once a week on the car average Joe kind of thing which is the best pressure washer to buy

[@uses0ap]

Link to the pressure washers?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Not happening.

[@GamingHabit]

I had Giraffe pressure washer for 2 years no problem. Upgraded to MTM foam cannon works great. Very convenient. Only problem is, it is very loud and the hose kinks

[@ObsessedGarage]

Those are two major problems in my eyes.

[@1v1me_]

The new hose is softer and doesn't kink

[@Rich-ol7sw]

Not sure why Matt says pressure washing and induction motors are the worst at 5:55...my AR Blue 630-TSS has an induction motor and it is fabulous. Both the Kranzle K1322TS and the Karcher 2100 PS have induction motors. On the other hand, the Active 2.0 and Karcher K1900 both utilize universal motors. Most higher power electric machines use an induction motor. Induction motors are heavier duty, produce more power, and last longer than universal motors. Universal motors are lighter, louder, and cheaper than induction motors.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'm talking about the sub $400 pressure washers.

[@Godfather44055]

They just released an Upgraded Pro version that comes with 3300 Psi motor for $699

[@chevelledream]

So with that being said whats the best wall mount pressure washer for the shop? Preferably with a hose reel? Sorry for my ignorance im new to your channel.

[@ObsessedGarage]

You can't go wrong with a Kranzle wall mount solution. www.obsessedgarage.com/products/kranzle-k1322ts-pressure-washer

Matt I appreciate your knowledge and the time you take to educate people who are doing their DD in quality products. I have a few projects around the house that I need to finish first, then pressure washer upgrade. I have your website on the ready with my cart full. Hopefully by the end of August.

[@scotty2221]

Almost bought one, so glad I didn't. I'm still looking for a easy to use snap on hose options electric pressure washer. Any ideas? I would love to find a bundle with a foam cannon and short gun if possible. Hit me back, thanks.

Thanks for your very professional video. But be careful NEVER touch the spray water from a gas powered pressure washer when you are testing these machines. I still remember my finger skin was cut when we made the QC nozzles about 20 years ago. Our test pressure was 2000PSI with a 40DEG nozzle.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha... Yeah, I'd never do that. That could kill you.

I am so glad you made this video thank you ! I was looking into buying one of this but then realized it was exactly what you were saying

I was actually just about to buy one. They have a 15% off sale now and because it sat in my cart for all of 5 mins they sent me an additional 10% off code! THank god I watched your video! "No Free Lunch"... I ran away! THANK YOU!

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yeah…it’s a good looking package, but it’s the worst pressure washer I’ve ever tested.

[@jasonsr5559]

At my shop, it didn't last one prep. It was shedding metal and clogging the tip. And it also added 10 minutes to the rinse process. Lol. I guess I fell victim to project of advertisement..😅😅😅

Matt, if you haven't signed any deals in Calgary. Please look at Chatham Kent Ontario. We have a car culture we are canada's classic car capital and the home of RM restorations. You know, the r m part of RM Sothebys auctions.

Thank you, I was about to purchase one of these. What would you recommend for about $500 or less? Currently looking at a Kärcher - K1800PS Cube and I'll upgrade the house and gun. Any help is appreciated Plan is to mount it to a shelf so it's permanent in the garage, I'll place the hose on a reel. Thank you

The Karcher K1700 is the best consumer grade Karcher. Active 2.0 would be your best choice under $500.

None of them.

Matt I hope you are wrong with all this hate lol. Mine is in the mail already. Ordered the G20 as the numbers it puts out are as advertised and very similar to most small electronic washers.

Why would you buy this junk? You people are glutens for punishment.

[@adamw2147]

@@ObsessedGarage I probably wouldn't have if I saw your video earlier 😕 I'll give it a shot though and if it's crap I'll return it. I came from a Sunjoe spx3000 that failed after about five years of usage. This seemed good so thought I'd try it out.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Kacher is the way to go on the low end. Or Active 2.0.

[@adamw2147]

UPDATE: I assume the standards of OG is simply higher than the average person that washes their cars and around the house. The Giraffe brand seems to work just fine. I have wall mounted my unit which is nice, out of the way. The pressure seems smoother than my old Sunjoe. The pressure could be a bit higher for sure but with the right attachment it's fine for my needs. I would not consider this pressure washer as junk at all.

[@markmuhlberger7550]

If a product doesn't do, what the manufacturer or dealer specifically says it does, send it back, used or not. Getting their products returned and having to pay for return shipments is the only thing that will stop them selling crappie products.

[@lukenewbury4285]

Hello, when you say induction motor is the worst in pressure washing. Isnt the kranzle an induction motor?

[@ObsessedGarage]

It is. I’m talking about the cheap ones.. I’ve found it’s hard for companies to make a cheap one work well. Universal motors are easy to make cheap.

I’m kind of at a loss here. I watched most of this from the live so I was expecting that this video was going to either have Matt showing off his baseball bat skills smashing them into pieces or going off on an enraged tirade.

[@roypratt420]

@@ObsessedGarage Wouldn’t order a replacement if it was out of warranty and broke. Just was pointing out the company was nice to deal with. For the basic car washing we do here it works for us but prolly gonna but the gas back into rotation when it goes out. That or a custom setup.

[@gannonschutte4377]

I think all need to realize that this is your opinion. You are comparing it to your experiences, needs and expectations. I like how you also compare this to “professional” pressure washers. This is not even in the same category of pressure washers. This is truly a home owner, car wash, motorcycle wash etc. pressure washer. If you want a good professional power washer you buy a Hotsy!

[@ObsessedGarage]

Hotsy's are little janky. I'm not a huge fan.

[@detailerslife8127]

Thanks for keeping the Crap and Bullshit out of Detailing, there’s so much garbage out there(not just pressure washers).
