I looked back to your review of the Ryobi 1800 psi pressure washer. Over 1,000 psi and 1.4 gpm. It is currently $109 at Home Depot. I got mine on Black Friday for much less. Great little unit.
Great video Josh. I have had the VE52 for 2 full seasons. Difficult to detail up here in Maine during winter. I have well over 100 hours of usage. Active 2.0 will definitely be my next unit. 👍
Great info Josh. I just got a 2.0, set it up with the 50 ft. Uber flex (awesome suggestion, Thanks!) and I prefer the 4.5 orifice tips (shared 15 amp circuit) since I still get plenty of pressure for my needs. I've run it for a few hours now and have no issues with surging, great little unit! On a totally off topic seasonal question, have you heard of any mobile detailers using a back pack sprayer for rinse less jobs during cold weather? I have a My4Sons M4 battery powered unit that seems like it would be an awesome tool for mobile guys needing to get a gross cleaning flush of debris when flowing water is not an option. It has a 4 gallon capacity, battery powered and plenty of pressure to dislodge mud, salt & road grime, not to mention you could apply your prerinse for a rinse less detail to a full size truck in a matter of a couple minutes with no hand pumping of your Marolex or IK sprayer. I opted for the 100 psi/1 gpm pump in mine and have no doubt it would be awesome for a ton of mobile applications. Could be a cool topic to look into? Who knows, 5 years from now, you could be known as the "Back pack sprayer Goat" if folks found it useful?
Hey Josh can we get some videos of you actually detailing vehicles ? Your comment section and views have seemed pretty low interactions recently. I do love your review videos though , always super in depth and great information!!
hey josh bro your vids are awesome just getting stared in Mobil detailing . can you do a video on best generators for Mobil detailing and accessories you use for it
Since they had the issues at the beginning of the VE52, I am worried the same will happen with the 2.0. If I am buying a new one within a year, I'll go VE52 to let the 2.0 bugs be discovered by the more adventurous folks.
getting a replacement for my VE52 since the pressure shut off switch goes bad on them and the machine just keeps running. I liked using it lots of water. On the 2.0 it is now M22 14 MM instead of the M22 15 MM outlet
That’s my thinking also. I like the aesthetics and design better on the VE52 anyways. With no significant difference in power the extra 100 hours of lifecycle won’t matter if it doesn’t make it the first 100.
Super comparison Josh! The original VE52 should be run with a 25’ to 35’ hose for longevity of the unit. Active says the new 2.0 was designed to run longer hoses with an improved pressure switch and cooling. My VE52 died after a couple years of heavy use in the hot south with a 50’ hose. Just picked up the 2.0 and so far so good!
@@Optimization_Coach Agreed but I made my own cart I can drop the 2.0 on. For the most part I like the fact that it’s compact and portable. The hose will always be cumbersome especially at 50ft.
I really like your comparison videos, and I’m wondering if you can do a comparison video between the AR Blue AR630 TSS and the Kranzle K1622 TS pressure washers?
Can you please close your camera aperture more when filming so you have greater depth of field? f/5.6 or higher. A lot of shots end up out of focus because you're moving through the narrow depth of field constantly. Also your black levels are too dark, looks like you're switching on some kind of filter when there aren't graphics on the screen. Thanks for the tests.
I am not impressed with the active ve 52. I cannot get more than 750 psi using the nozzles provided and the 50’ Uber flex hose and am getting 1.8 gpm. I am providing this unit with city water at 65 psi. My Ryobi 1800 gives me 1050 psi with a 2.5 nozzle and I am getting 1.5 gpm. For my money the ryobi is the way to go getting much more pressure and only .5 gpm less with a unit that costs only $99 at the Home Depot.
@@nathan3647 I bought one a month ago. Perfect for car detailing and light work. It’s attached to a 100’ Uber flex 3/8 hose on a hose reel. It’s quiet and wish I had this sooner.
I like the new model but it isn't worth an extra 100 bucks. It will be interesting to see if Canadian Tire markets it under the SimonizePlatinum brand. I'm not sure where this would fit in the market at 479.00 to 499.00 Canadian dollars. I suspect the VE52 variant will continue, they raised the price 15 percent this year and will likely raise it another 15 percent if the 2023 US pricing is set at 249.00. Personally from a "packaging" standpoint, you would think they would have at least thrown in a wall mount for it. I think it is a step backwards since one of the main features that draws customers to the VE52 is how it stores away neatly, never have to look for parts. I use the VE52 when I detail my vehicules early in the morning because it is so quiet and used it this morning but it doesn't hold a candle to the Simonize 3200 Platinum Gas Powered unit, which I used to prep my truck for coating. Also, you knocked the foamer attachment included. I don't know why you did that because it works great with an electrical PW like these an is perfect for the typical user who doesn't wash cars for a living. In fact I can't think of another consumer Chinese PW that comes with a foamer and four tips.
Most users of these active products use their own attachments based off customer data from active themselves. That’s why they decided to sell and design the 2.0 as a standalone product which is sold out. Their package set up is not sold out.
Thanks for the great review I had emailed you with this very question and it is now answered I am going with the VE 52 thanks for doing this for us. Great job....Tim
No doubt the Active 2.0 is impossible to find. It never available on there website to buy and on top of that they only shipped 48 state which is a shame.
I live in Canada so the equivalent of the Active VE52 would be the Simoniz from Canadian Tire. I already had the Simoniz model and it did have those issues, at least the Auto shot off valve issues. I brought it back to the store. I would be interested to buy it again but how do I know if i'm buying the right version? The one that has been upgraded with the fixed issues? Thanks !
I’m trying to decide between the 2.0 and the ryobi 1800 I hear the ryobi is more reliable and is at most local stores but the 2.0 is better in performance what makes it unreliable ? And besides the price of the two units which would u say is better for detailing cars or do you recommend something else I just want to get the best unit I can for detailing
You'll pay through the nose. Kranzle has a model that is close. The amps required is up in the 20s. It's just math to calculate the ratio. No magic beans.
The spike is normal for start up draw. It will not trip a 15 amp breaker. Only way it'll trip it is if you have another load on that ckt and it'll be a matter of time before it trips but a spike should not trip it right away. Either way garages are supposed to be on 20 amp ckts so average Joe shouldn't have any issues.
Has anyone successfully reduced the noise that these electric pressure washers make? I’ve had one in the past and it’s so annoying to me, my wife, and I’m sure my neighbors. Not to mention I like to wash cars in the morning, which makes the noise more noticeable. Gas ones are a no go for the same reason. I’m thinking about some kind of cover with sound deadening insulation, but I don’t know if that would cause it to get too hot.
Hey bro, I am Malcolm from Barbados and I have a small detailing and mechanical business and I watch all your videos and great job but I want information from you on a great electric power washer that can work every day and would last long?
So i need help just ordered the active 2.0 wanna get the uber flex and a mjjcfoam cannon a idk whats a good wand recommendation you have for me n as well if I’m going to need what adapters to connect everything?
I watched this video right after it was released on my tv so I didn't see the description with coupon code. I was watching it again on my computer today and saw the coupon code and I was lucky enough to be the first 25. I just canceled my last order and placed a new one thanks Josh! I might return my Ryobi 40v 1500 psi whisper washer also.
I already have the Cat 1800, I got it before the last price increase. I am so glad I did, I just detail my personal vehicles and the kids so not much. Will last a long time. Have a MTM SGS 28 and a 50’ flexzilla hose. It is all I really need just need to get one of your foam cannons!!
I already tried to buy this unit for black friday and I lost the discount because my bank blocked my card, I hope to be the winner of this pressure washer. thanks for doing this Josh 😎👍
Do you know if it’s possible to access the plungers on these active units? I know many low end electric pressure washers you can access the plungers and change the oil with some mild disassembly even though they are not “user serviceable”, I changed the oil in an old HarborFreight electric unit that’s 10 years old
Found teardown video for VE52. It’s at least possible to reach the plungers and oil. Should be able to replace oil without too much trouble depending how well the seal holds up. th-cam.com/video/pfmS0nySja8/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the video but honestly this is frustrating as all hell. I have yet to find a single pressure washer at an affordable price that looks like it's even worth buying at all. Every pressure washer I look up online has a 'bad hook review curve' (more 1 star reviews than 2s, 3s, etc) with a ton of people finding that they're garbage products that essentially break after little use and waste your money. I don't see how an Active pressure washer is much any different or better for the same reason.
You can try, but for those uses a higher psi is better, these are pretty much designed for cars with the higher gpm and lower psi to rinse off better and lessen the risk to paint.
Josh i have the ryobi 1800 with the Uberlex 50 foot hose. Used it yesterday and had the surging on and off happening when not using sprayer. Any fix? Did I need to use any adapter for that to the unit? No leaking at unit. A little leaking from my aftermarket yamatic short gun I got from Amazon
Each time you have it running pressing the trigger = usage time Rated usage time = 100 hrs but in my experience they are underestimating the projected amount (own a ve52)
So I was looking at the 52 recently to upgrade my AR Blue pressure washer (which surges terribly with the upgraded uberflex hose and stubby gun...). I noticed that they do not recommend anything other than a 1.25 orifice for foam guns otherwise they say it may work harder and trip the circuit. Anyone have experience with that?
Yea i know that is the recommendation. I did it and didnt have any issues, but the manufacturer recommended is probably the best way to go. If you have an MJJC they get more foam anyways, so even with the 1.25 youd be getting great foam
@imjoshv I was planning on upgrading my foam cannon to an mjjc, so sounds like I will be good to go in the spring. Thank you and keep up the great videos. Just cerakoted two of my cars :)
Sorry, the VE52 is garbage! I used it 6 times and it died! Doubt the 2.0 will be better. I am disappointed that you even have these two units on your channel.
I originally had issues with the ve52 but since they made the updates It’s been good. The 2.0 so far has been great. I’m sorry you had issues with yours. Did their customer service take care of you?
Did you have the updated VE52 or the older/original version? I'm looking at them now that they're 20% off - $184 for the tool only. I have the DeWalt one he reviewed but I am wondering if the upgrade is worth it for the increased GPM.
From what Ive seen from the Active videos you don’t need a lot of pressure coming from the spigot as long as you have the water flow. Too much pressure on the other hand can hurt performance.
The flow going in only needs to match the flow going out. So if it's output is 2gpm, then the input only needs to be 2gpm. That's the purpose of the pump.. to pressurized the water.
It’s just an estimate of when your unit is expected to fail. These units are not serviceable. My typical wash is about 10 minutes of run time so for me it’s gonna be around 1200 washes on the Active 2.0 before it breaks.
They say the machine has been redesigned with better quality components that are built to last longer than previous versions. The exact amount of hours any one unit will get would be hard to measure in real-life use. I have a Coleman brand pressure washer that was actually made by Active back in 2011. It just started to leak oil from the base recently and it has over 10 years of use, which is incredible for a throw-away unit.
@@ridefastjumphigh420. Yes obviously it depends on conditions and use case for each machine. But they are just using a baseline and saying this unit gets 200 hours compared to the 100 hours from generic’s from big box stores.
So how would you compare active 2.0 or ve52 vs greenworks pro 2300 for a diy! With that most diy’s are probably going to want multi purpose use like washing vehicle and use around the house! I’ve watched a lot of your reviews and according to your numbers the comparison of the 2 would be very similar
If you put on a turbo nozzle on the active it will be plenty capable for small intense jobs. If you need more than that (washing an entire house) you’re better off having a secondary gas pressure washer
I just bought the 2300 and the time it takes to ramp up is really annoying. I thought the wheels would be good but I rather just carry it. The 2300 gets tangled up as you roll it around and the wheels get dirty and mess up what you just cleaned
@@dieselbeastgamerkushgod7784 I’ve looked through it and there is a ton of information! He covers a lot of Info. I wish I had something like that when I was starting out verses the super expensive in person training I did. For me the detailing training was good but I had no info on marketing or how to actually run the business. His course covers alot of that. He has a money back guarantee as well so I think it’s worth checking out
@@imjoshv thank you brother i am subscribing to you i have been wanting to start my own detail business for a while now and i have been looking at your videos on which products to buy to start with you have been a gem to me brother
@@imjoshv thank you, I went to there website and it’s made in China and wish this machine is serviceable for that price range with 200 hrs for the 2.0 so I end up buying a karcher k1700 cube for 112 I bought 3 so for same price of active 2.0 it’s also none serviceable machine at least 300 hrs for all 3 and I really like the AR blue or the kranzie due to rebuildable but it’s way overpriced for me. Thank you good video review.
Too bad for me you didn't have the 10% off code available a week or two ago, I would have gladly purchased that way to help support the channel. I hope to see my 2.0 this week sometime but I'm still waiting on the shipping confirmation. Thanks for the comparison.

The Simoniz is less money than the VE 52..the same units.

Does anyone know what nozzle size you need to get either of them to, first, its rated 1800 Psi? And second to say like the 1200-1300 psi range?
Which accessories are actually more popular to find the m22-15 or m22-14 ones?
M22 14

Have you reviewed an electric pressure washer that was getting 4GPM? Or around that type of flow and performance?
There is no such a consumer PW. It would have to be 220/230 volts. Go Gas and look for Italian brass pump.
You'll pay through the nose. Kranzle has a model that is close. The amps required is up in the 20s. It's just math to calculate the ratio. No magic beans.
Is that the updated version VE52, your Amazon link?
Have you tested a 100 foot hose on the 2.0
So if I was getting the first model active would I need to get the quick connect kit and the 15mm to 14mm adapters? Or does in come in that kit
based on your test, it would be hard to achive 1800 psi , not even 1500 psi without trigger the breaker?
The spike is normal for start up draw. It will not trip a 15 amp breaker. Only way it'll trip it is if you have another load on that ckt and it'll be a matter of time before it trips but a spike should not trip it right away.

Dammmmn the code has reached its maximum limit
new v52 version isn't on the shelves ye where i live.
I’ can’t find them anymore
Is this ok to use with a 3.0 orifice?
Can these handle a 100’ hose??
Thank you for the info and the discount!
Which one is quieter?
I still like my Ryobi.
Another great review! 👍🏽
Thank you
Does the water pressure coming from the spigot effect your pressure on your pressure washer?
Good question, I also wonder about this. My house runs on well water, so water pressure isn't the greatest.
From what Ive seen from the Active videos you don’t need a lot of pressure coming from the spigot as long as you have the water flow. Too much pressure on the other hand can hurt performance.
The flow going in only needs to match the flow going out. So if it's output is 2gpm, then the input only needs to be 2gpm. That's the purpose of the pump.. to pressurized the water.

How does the service hours works exactly??
It’s just an estimate of when your unit is expected to fail. These units are not serviceable. My typical wash is about 10 minutes of run time so for me it’s gonna be around 1200 washes on the Active 2.0 before it breaks.
They say the machine has been redesigned with better quality components that are built to last longer than previous versions. The exact amount of hours any one unit will get would be hard to measure in real-life use. I have a Coleman brand pressure washer that was actually made by Active back in 2011. It just started to leak oil from the base recently and it has over 10 years of use, which is incredible for a throw-away unit.
@@ridefastjumphigh420. Yes obviously it depends on conditions and use case for each machine. But they are just using a baseline and saying this unit gets 200 hours compared to the 100 hours from generic’s from big box stores.
So how would you compare active 2.0 or ve52 vs greenworks pro 2300 for a diy!
With that most diy’s are probably going to want multi purpose use like washing vehicle and use around the house!
I’ve watched a lot of your reviews and according to your numbers the comparison of the 2 would be very similar
If you put on a turbo nozzle on the active it will be plenty capable for small intense jobs. If you need more than that (washing an entire house) you’re better off having a secondary gas pressure washer
I just bought the 2300 and the time it takes to ramp up is really annoying. I thought the wheels would be good but I rather just carry it. The 2300 gets tangled up as you roll it around and the wheels get dirty and mess up what you just cleaned
I bought the ve52 last year, very happy with it so I won't upgrade until it fails.
Yea no need to, both of these are great
JLB - I too bought the EV52 last year and really love it. No plans on upgrading while it’s still working like a champ 👍
@@imjoshv josh is wilson auto detailing good should i purchase the training
@@dieselbeastgamerkushgod7784 I’ve looked through it and there is a ton of information! He covers a lot of Info. I wish I had something like that when I was starting out verses the super expensive in person training I did. For me the detailing training was good but I had no info on marketing or how to actually run the business. His course covers alot of that. He has a money back guarantee as well so I think it’s worth checking out
@@imjoshv thank you brother i am subscribing to you i have been wanting to start my own detail business for a while now and i have been looking at your videos on which products to buy to start with you have been a gem to me brother
I was just asking myself this question lol
Hello, who make Active pressure washer ? (country)
It’s a Canadian company but I’m not sure if they are produced there or not
@@imjoshv thank you, I went to there website and it’s made in China and wish this machine is serviceable for that price range with 200 hrs for the 2.0 so I end up buying a karcher k1700 cube for 112 I bought 3 so for same price of active 2.0 it’s also none serviceable machine at least 300 hrs for all 3 and I really like the AR blue or the kranzie due to rebuildable but it’s way overpriced for me. Thank you good video review.

Too bad for me you didn't have the 10% off code available a week or two ago, I would have gladly purchased that way to help support the channel. I hope to see my 2.0 this week sometime but I'm still waiting on the shipping confirmation. Thanks for the comparison.
