Kudos on the bloomers Keav! Keeping it real.
Bloopers come real easy to me
PORTLAND TIP FOR YOU! Install the handle and drill holes in it to hold all your NOZZLES, including a TURBO NOZZLE. So much faster when changing TIPS!!
That is a great idea!
Thanks for putting this video out answered so many questions decided to go with ryobi pressure washer but everything else the same thank you for all these awesome suggestions
Ryobi is a great choice! You will be happy with that setup.
Hey Keav, great video. Would love to see you do an updated version of this video but for more intermediate DIYers. I'm considering purchasing the AR Blue pressure washer but would love to know which hoses, connections, foamers etc you would recommend. Perhaps an updated video is warranted? Thanks again for all your great content.
That’s an idea for sure will have to look into that. I would put my wall setup in that category of intermediate. This setup th-cam.com/video/HlF8x6tf0ww/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NoKgHNqObLd_j8bk
lol that ending blooper was good. Besides that those are some awesome numbers there but that noise, damn lol. Thanks for the video as always!
Yeah, I’m going to see if I can remedy that sound somehow.
Great video. Luv the reviews. Keep them coming. I picked up the Portland on BF and got a mjjc foam cannon on sale. I can’t wait to use it.
Awesome! MJJC are awesome. Hope you enjoy them and have fun washing!
Great content Michael. Keep them coming.
Thx bro!
Thanks for this comprehensive video, excellent content. Love how you broke down each component in detail. Last week I picked up the Portland PW for only $75 with coupon. Immediately threw out the handle, hose, proprietary soap dispenser and sprayer. Picked up everything you suggested, except I went with a 50ft hose. Works GREAT!
Quick question: I want to add quick disconnects to the Portland and the short gun. Should I use 1/4” or 3/8” QDs?
3/8 for anything from the pressure washer to the spray gun. 1/4 at the end of the spray gun only.
Awesome video,as always! Not turning the water on is something I would have done,lol. Thank you!
I do the dumbest stuff sometimes. That’s real would’ve testing though. 🤣
I seen that bear foce foam cannon and instant buy it.... and loved it I'm always waiting for your videos to see what's new lol I got that set of nozzle you have and loving them.... I seen a pump sprayer battery 🔋 on Amazon Sprayer Plus 2 Gallon Sanitation E-Powered Sprayer
Bear Force foam cannon is amazing! Hope everything is making that car wash experience more enjoyable.
Where were you when I 1st started? 😂 That is is GREAT starting setup. Very nicely done! Great video
I wish there was info out there when I started. Just wait for the next few months I’m going on a setup journey with everything from pump dispensers to bypasses.
@@CarsWithKeav can’t wait! To see all the videos
I may upgrade my set up this year. Everything still works well but hoping to have the space for a cart setup. Of course I'll look at those videos again when I do.
Its hard once you get hooked to not keep upgrading and every time it makes washing more fun you just keep going down the rabbit hole. LOL
Good info to help my kid get an effective and reasonable setup to start with
Awesome! Hope he enjoys washing cars. Many get discouraged when the setup is cumbersome and annoying.
@CarsWithKeav he's been working with me for 3 or 4 months now, he's picked it up real well. He's a natural. Him and a friend are moving in the spring with plans for starting up on their own. I will set em up with all the basics to get going. 💯
@@kirkwilson5900 Awesome!
Was able to get myself a Karscher Cube for 91 bux while it suddenly got a deal on Amazon. Can't wait for it to arrive and try it as my first pressure washer!
They went down to $83 a few days ago as well. I would have used that system for this? But at the time they were $140.
@@CarsWithKeav Oh yeah that 91 bux was the grand total. Had to snatch it during that $83 price tag.
Awesome review and always helpful. And I have a request that if you can review the new Vevor pressure washer. Number is crazy good on paper for $90.
I can put it on my list. I looked at the listing and no way it does those numbers.
I have the PORTLAND. I bought a 50 foot green YAMATA hose and shorty gun combo for $35. I have two of the AMAZON clear foam cannons that KEAV Recommended. QUICK DISCONNECTS on both ends. RV water filter between hose and pressure washer. Less than $150 for EVERYTHING!! HARBOR FREIGHT for the WIN!!
That is an awesome budget setup!
Damn, those squeals would kill me! I have one and it’s been good to me thus far. If the newer/updated components one does that, I think I may have to look elsewhere when mine dies. IDK.
But after you used it for a little bit, the squealing/honking sounds… not as high pitched (very slightly), as in the beginning. So maybe, after some use, it will sound better.
Also, the pressure washer was at microphone height so a little louder than on the floor and the echo chamber that is my garage. I notice it taped off as well. I’m going to try some lubricant and see what happens. Don’t have high hopes because I have heard this exact sound on other brands. I think it is the pressure relief valve.
Great review
Thanks
thanks for commenting on quick connects not spinning under pressure, i was thinking that untill you said it haha
Yeah they do t move well under pressure and if you force them it can leak or maybe even pop off of a bearing gets loose.
@CarsWithKeav awesome I'll look at get a wand with a swivel for sure then
Hahaha Eeeaaarrrhhhh.. I just picked up this unit as a backup unit I can grab the active 2.0 but as long as it works and has the TS the noise isn’t bad. Thanks for the video
Yeah, the noise is amplified by the echo in my garage and we had it at ear level as well. I noticed it starting to sound less each time it ran as well.
hi - love your video and bloopers -- witch gun to buy
1. McKillans® Short Pressure Washer Gun with Swivel or
2. Sooprinse Swivel Spray Gun on this video (i saw you reviewed th mckillans ) for basic user ? - thanks
To be honest the $20 one is almost the same thing. The casing is the exact same so size and everything is identical. The Mckillans might be a slightly better swivel. I would pick the Sooprinse personally it’s been a great gun so far and the value is so good.
Can you get 1.5 gpm out ofa greenworks? Great video!! Super helpful! Thank you!
You can get close, but at 850 to 900 PSI. The Portland is far superior in performance. Here is a video I did on the Greenworks 1700 th-cam.com/video/Y_37CzZxw3g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8Zxnk4V570nWDJFP
Can you recommend the best bang for the buck microfiber towels for quick detailing. The ones I have leave fibers everywhere
I have always been a big fan of the eagle edgeless 365 by rag company. Not the cheapest, but I think it’s best bang for your buck if you wash and maintain your microfibers. amzn.to/483W4Vh
Keav, do you use PUMP LUBRICANT when you store your pressure washers? I always lubricate my PORTLAND if I am not going to be using it for a while. A DRY PUMP is probably causing the squeeeeel when it shuts off.
I have not tried any lubricant before, but I will try. I have heard this sound on several other units so I think they share the same pressure release valve which is noisy.
So would you rate the performance better than the Ryobi 1800 1.2 gpm? It’s now $99 at Home Depot
From a numbers standpoint the Portland does better from a flow perspective probably 10% better, but the Ryobi is a great machine. It is the most commonly used in a lot of mobile detailer setups. i used one for years until I upgraded to the Active products. You can't go wrong with the Ryobi at $99 and its warranty is far superior. It forma factor is way better and well along with its fittings are a more universal thread pattern that is easily upgradeable. The Greenworks 1700 us another greta buy in this price range.
I have this exact same set up and my foam is not nearly as thick as yours. Only thing different is soap I am using, could that effect it that much?
Soap is a big factor also water quality and hardness play a part as well. Some soaps just don’t foam good.
@@CarsWithKeav appreciate the info, great content and info on your channel!
In your bear force review video you mentioned the 1.25 was more likely a 1.15. For this video did you use that stock 1.25 or did you use a different one that's truly 1.25?
I didn’t measure this one as it was for a setup where the pressure washer used was not going to have issues with a smaller orifice. I just went based on what’s in the box without confusing what is most likely a beginner user. Only time it concerns me is with a higher flow pressure washer that is already at the limits of a 15amp circuit on a true 1.25. Based on the Amp difference of 12.5 for the 1.25 and 13.38 for the 1.1 that leads me to believe these are more accurate. If I remember when I get home from work I will check for sure if you need me to.
No need to check. This answers my question as I want to do a setup like this without really modifying anything outside of what you show in this video. Thanks
For the life of me i cannot get anywhere close to what foam you and others produce using the portland. I hadn't tried 3 different cannons and 5 different soaps including mr pink. 1.1 orfice. I am at a loss but all i get is at best soapy water. Any advice would be great. Only variable is that i have hard water in my city but i don't think that should make that much of a difference??
Hard water can make a good bit of difference on a machine like this that is lower GPM. Only thing that could help is use warm distilled water in your soap mix that will help mix better and improves foam.
Thanks. Yea I have tried garage temp distilled water in the soap mix as well. Didn't do much difference. But thx for the reply.
Does it work on gravity feed water supply?
As long as the gravity feed has enough flow. Normally you need double do what the machine uses. So 1.2 gom machine you need at least 2.4gpm of water flow. This is not self priming so need to be fed enough.
@@CarsWithKeav thanks..
