The Pressure Washing Project: E26 - AR Blue Clean

I don't know how I'm always right about these pressure washers but I am. We're testing out the AR Blue Clean line which looks like it got a bit of a revamp. So watch me slowly descend into madness and sadness as we roll through these glorious machines.

Its time to throw this current microphone in the garbage.

[@D_in_DC]

It just needs a different placement. I wouldn't say it's the microphone itself.

[@Jamie-Evo]

For someone who is Obsessed, these audio issues are really starting to annoy the hell out of me.

[@JohnFreese046]

Matt, is it possible for the cameraman to monitor your audio to make you aware of a problem early in a video? Just a thought.

[@Natalia-Johansson]

🙌🏻

[@albert2araujo]

Picogear mic 👍🏾 small light fast to use

[@Carlos.Rivera]

"Throw the microphone to the woods"

[@ericmiller1764]

I nearly turned this off a few times at the beginning but I’m glad I didn’t. The entertainment value is worth the audio issues. That Too Your Health looked that way a month after it opened. The staff doesn’t care or doesn’t know what good looks like.

[@piffpete420]

This takes heavy breathing and wash to a new level

[@morejelloplease]

if you listen to matt thru some Dynaudio speakers then he sounds fine ;)

[@josephtovar3941]

I have the AR Blue Clean 2n1 and love it!.. I am now moving up to the new AR 2300. This passion for only the "best" is all relative. Customer satisfaction is the key and if a detailer can't produce quality car care then a little less pressure or foam is not the issue.

[@Mr360ryan]

🤣🤣 someone tell Matt have to Redo the whole video now. Because of the sound.

[@morejelloplease]

and just for audio clarification matt is prob using a lapel mic with a cheap foam windscreen, which perfectly suitable for this application , however the mic is mounted improperly and depending which way he turns his head, he's burying the mic into his throat which muffles the sound.

[@JoeyBagZ]

Matt just incase you didnt run across them, they sell a fitting that adapts that weird AR fitting to a normal m22x15mm so you can connect better hoses and sprayer wands.

[@rockhills]

I wish they would hang a few mics up to get audio from the room, perhaps to sometimes get the reactions of the guys in the shop.

[@youngblood23rb]

Audio is more important than video, I need a mic on a boom pole asap

[@cautilli]

OG video, not OG audio :(

[@I5ZQ8]

Matt is just upset that my ryobi refuses to die. I have washed my 4 car driveway about 4 times and my back patio then every 2 weeks my F250 for the last 3 years 🤣🤣

[@TheFi1thyCasual]

Ahhhh the bread and butter..pressure washer testing.

[@josephsamsor1698]

I like how he just directly roasts his entire crew. Guess he watched the vlog where they take daily trips to the gas station lol. Relentless

[@richardmesser1091]

Uncle Mattys home shopping network.

[@ThompsonThe1988]

I had to watch the part when the lance fell out of the gun too many times before I stopped laughing. That tickled me.

[@HAWKTUAHH]

That mic is about to get punted in the trash can.

[@Musicalpa]

Thank you for doing these tests. I am looking to get a P.W. soon, and it's difficult to know what is worth $200 and what isn't. Could you do additional episodes covering P.W. spray pattern efficiencies/consistencies and effectiveness? I've seen some sprayer guns that have an uneven spray pattern stronger in the center and weak on the outsides, or stronger on the top vs. the bottom, etc....

[@lilacgrove]

Just buy a Kranzle people

[@albert2araujo]

What's the best electric pressure washer out there? I'm looking for car detailing, but also patio deck cleaning psi.

[@ObsessedGarage]

You'll want to have a Gas pressure washer for around the house maintenance. Electric pressure washers don't have a high enough PSI to clean decks. If you want something that is great for washing cars and can get away with house items the AR630TSS will be your option.

[@lnchappo]

What pressure washer do you recommend for combined home and vehicle detailing use?

[@rimshot223]

This is bad guys. I’m honestly surprised you even posted this. It’s a known fact people will tolerate bad video, they won’t tolerate bad audio. You need to start monitoring your audio while recording and I think a back up shotgun mic or two in the room would be wise.

[@Maverik259]

5 days and not one video from Atlanta. Someone’s slacking out there!!!! Haha

[@freestyleskyline]

The random Charlie Brown microphone, LOL

[@Reaper-Jim]

Nothing wrong with cheaper pressure washers if you ignore; durability, longevity, performance and glitches. It’s fine … I can buy 12 units instead of 1 Kranzle, right? The problem = I don’t want to keep buying a pressure washer every year or every other year. I want the one and done experience … and THAT comes at a price I’m willing to pay. It’s what they call “investing in yourself”. If you can’t afford it, save up for it. If you can’t save up for it, learn money management. No reasonably logical person will ever argue that quantity is better than quality, so stop it and get the right tool for the job.

[@jeffkraus1457]

Matt, I have a AR MAXX rated at 2200PSI and 1.2 GPM. Can you recommend the tip which I can use for car washing (rinsing) and decent foam? Maybe a 3.0 or 3.5?

[@burnnc10454]

Which size orifice would you recommend for the 2300 maxx?

[@ObsessedGarage]

1.1mm on that one.

[@greatestNothin]

Matt just looks like he wants to throw them all in the garbage....and I don't really blame him at all. When you take into account all of the other brands they OE for, that's a big old pile of garbage. It's got to be hard to even build out the packages for these and others like them. Yeah you're going to get a better experience compared to the crap that comes bundled with it but you've still got a crap pressure washer at the end of the day. Thanks for taking the time to do these, it looks like hell trying to do it and stay positive and promote the packages.

[@hdemark5825]

Thanks for the content and the laughs. You are definitely helping me make a wise and educated decision. Do you know Kevin Shaw from the Watercraft Journal/Mopar Conmection Magazine? You guys would be best friends I bet. Same “engage your brain” attitude. Check out his KZbin live sessions page and you’ll see lol.

[@a_six_4g_c79]

You need to test the AVA Presurewasher

[@wjkrug]

Matt fell in love for a few seconds after spotting that stainless fitting 1:08:10 Followed by the heartbreak 1:13:28

[@justingonzalez702]

Yeah he's kind of a douche

[@wjkrug]

@@justingonzalez702 aren’t we all

[@JC-tm6wh]

Funny, good stuff.

[@hawkmanva]

The gun on the 3000 is so hard to keep pulled it hurts your hand

[@Ryan-ew9hb]

I’m honestly surprised he’s letting them post these videos with such terrible audio. They really need to figure out this microphone thing.

[@maximusheronimus23980]

new video "headset mic's... Jeeezzz POC audio unfortunately

[@andrewgacree]

I’ve been following your journey even before the F80. Great content. But fix your mic. It ruins the entire experience.

[@timbrown9731]

Poor Matty they should’ve put a paper bag over his head he would’ve sounded better i’m totally joking actually the microphone issue crack me up!

[@afhyoutube]

Turners Tea > Turkey Hill Tea

[@DRTORQUENSTEIN]

damn. that southpark kenny mic needs to go. great video tho matt, as usual.

[@dailyDIYdude]

Dude you’ve filmed 100s of videos with no audio issues. Is your neck getting bigger from the gym or something? Figure it out man. We want to ENJOY these free videos. Geez

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yeah, I lost the mic screen and was waiting on it to arrive. I thought I could get away with doing a few videos without it.

[@dailyDIYdude]

@@ObsessedGarage mic screen or not we worked through it brotha. Good video 💪🏼

[@TeamLosi4life]

Communicate and humiliate

[@medcook57]

Sound sucks

[@justingonzalez702]

I appreciate an honest video but damn, this dudes attitude sucks.

[@justingonzalez702]

These are pressure washers that normal, every day people are buying and using around their homes and this dude is just shitting all over them. You tell me which pressure washer to buy for around $300 then.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha... Your sucky attitude telling me my attitude sucks seems a bit ironic.

[@curtismiller7762]

Your mic performs worse than the power washers you’re reviewing.

[@bcshay]

monitor your audio. every time you tilt your head down to the mic it’s loud and muffled

[@jordancook1668]

This is a painful video, way too long and limited on substance.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha... Okay.

[@jordancook1668]

So why do you think after two years it only has 63 comments and 200 likes, because it's great? I told you why, and your response is "ha ha." You don't even act like you're interested in it, constantly complaining and belittling the process. It's a waste of the viewers' time. The video could have been 20 minutes and had the same substance.

[@joefro9473]

1ST TO COMMENT

[@Sparky1934]

Love the videos but comparing a $1700 Kranzel with a $150 AR Blue is not realistic. You cant expect that little unit to give you anything close to what that $1700 unit is giving you.
