I can’t wait for your reviews of the active 2.3 & Big Boi. I will be buying on your recommendation. This was an EXCELLENT review of the AR630.
Big Boi pro has been pre-ordered, but they took the 17 amp version off their website.
@@CarsWithKeav so sad the pro 17 amp is not available
Shirt is touched by God- thanks for a video and I think the ar630 is great just loud when hanging on a wall.
Shirt gave me special powers I could feel it. It better though your money has to be different to afford them. 🤣🤣
I bought the AR630TSS-HOT several years ago. These units are the a bit heavy but built tough. They are the Best.
For sure not meant to be dragged out each wash. Needs to be mounted somewhere. Weighs even more if you are carrying the unit, electric cable and it’s full of water.
Great review Keav!! The AR630TSS is definitely on my short list. I was waiting on the Active 2.3, but the AR might be a better tried and true unit. Keep the great video coming!
We will know soon I think pre-order for the 2.3 is next week. 2.3 has the 15amp and it’s much lighter. I’m curious about how serviceable it is.
Purchased one and received it 2 weeks ago and right out of the box after hooking it up it was leaking from the pump area on the unit. After contacting the company ar blue clean which is where i bought it from directly they seemed to act as if it was my fault "sounds like the pump has froze up and cracked due to improper storage how did you store the unit?" When i had stated in the original message to them that it was leaking immediately before even pressurizing the unit. Has been 2 weeks now still waiting for "the next step" how long am i supposed to be expected to wait to use my $1000 Purchase? Not impressed with the companys customer service or the quality so far.. not a small leak either
That really sucks! Do you think it was damaged in shipping by being dropped? Not exactly the response I would want for sure, but based on some other comments is inline with what they have said. Hope it gets resolved for you. There is always “The Chargeback” as the final option.
@@CarsWithKeavI have been using pressure washers and repairing them myself for atleast 10 years and after opening the pump up my honest opinion is the pump looked "used" parts looked warn inside, and the leak is internal. I don't think it would be possible for whatever is wrong with the unit to have happened during shipping. I have used it and am otherwise impressed it's just annoying to have a gallon of water inside of my business every 20 ish minutes. Still waiting on a response from the company wondering if I will ever get one.. will update when resolved..
@@modernredneck9862 Sounds like maybe a refurbished unit that was returned possibly. They didn’t rebuild correctly so now it leaks.
Did you ever receive a response from AR Blue?
I am ready to order an ar630 tss this week. I know the machine is great but I'm a little concerned about the poor customer service you experienced. I did call them today to ask some questions and the guy on the phone was really helpful.
@@modernredneck9862update?? I’m in the dilemma of a kranzle or AR and having a hard time justifying the extra 650CAD for the kranzle. But after seeing this it might be worth it
Picked one up during a Black Friday sale. Weather is getting warmer so can't wait to try it. I decided on the 4.0 nozzle. Wanted 2.0 or under GSM for my DI system. Great video!
That is a great idea! Dialing in the nozzle to the gpm of your DI instead of dialing back the incoming flow from your house.
I was close to getting the AR or waiting for the Active 2.3. At the end of the day, I couldn't justify the cost, since this is just a hobby for me. I ended up buying the Active 2.0 (haven't used it yet) and I think that'll be a massive upgrade over what I had. I may end up getting the Active foam cannon though, which is also hard to justify since I have the MJJC... but $90 hurts less than $780. Great stuff bro!!
2.0 is great for the enthusiast. Doesn’t get that volume abuse and the numbers are great. The Big boo line is coming out with a $550 induction motor unit that looks like the 2.0.
@@CarsWithKeav I used it for the first time last night... loved it. Yes it has the high pitched whine but it's WAAAY better than my Ryobi. Active needs to get you their foam cannon for review !!
@@DMCnME They are sending me one. May be delayed they commented on my bottle drop
Video they may be second guessing the clear bottle. 🤣
Will this pump from an external tank if mointed above the tank?
It does not self prime you would need to be the opposite so the water tank is higher creating a gravity feed. The feed needs a good bit of flow to keep the machine supplied. Most use a pump to feed this one from a water tank.
@@CarsWithKeavThank you for the info. This made my decision of what pressure washer to order.
any recommendations where I could buy foam cannon orifices 1.25 and higher having a hard time finding them thank you for making this video. This makes Make my decision easier to make. I am going to buy the AR 630 TSS
You can’t go wrong with this pressure washer. A good size for this machine is the 1.4 orifice. amzn.to/3MGsywp
I had at one point had the AR630, Karcher and Kranzle K1600 (discontinued i think), after a year gave away the karcher and sold the AR630 im not a fan of ceramic plungers that the AR uses, it didnt like the sudden increase in temp so when hit the gun i notice a leak and pressure way low come to find out the ceramic plunger was crack, fixed it and sold and went with Kranzle 499 tst and just recently got the kws700 which is ok. heavy and takes up space, out all the them id take my 13 year old K1600 anyday, its just simple plug in and play, its not a non stop machine which after having the tst and timed stop machine it didn't sway me from giving it up and go all total stop machine ,its whisper quiet aT @60+ db than other pressure washer ive used and also i ran it with and without water and this thing just keep on running lol. I do my own maintenance and Parts are NOW easy to get thanks to Dirt killer for stocking up the consumables. I would say the AR630 is not a slouch either its good machine just make sure u ramp it up and gradually run cold to hot or vice versa…on a side note Kranzle are also rated up to 140 degrees fahrenheit.
I have never used any temp water that is considered hot or even over 90 degrees. I know when you get into higher temps it puts more strain in the unit. They do make a hot water AR630 TSS wonder how that would do with the higher temps. Thanks for all the great info you provided here.
The posing for thumbnail is the best! Thank you keav for the information. Have a wonderful weekend!
I hate doing it, but the shot is much clearer when you do the pose. 🤣
I love how quickly it ramps down (TSS). I’m planning to upgrade my pressure washer from my Ryobi. I was thinking Active but I noticed the TSS shutoff last for a few seconds. This appears to be immediately. I have to do more research. Thanks for the review.
You got the Active 2.3 coming in a few weeks which will have this kind of TSS. The 2.0 does have a little ramp up and down for sure. Big Boi will be having two induction pressure washers ranging from $500 to $750 in the coming weeks as well.
@@CarsWithKeavI’m stoked for the big boi, they are definitely going to give Active 2.3 a run for their business. Can’t wait for this summer
@@ShineAndPreserveDetailing only thing Active has going for it is weight and 15amp with comparable performance to the 17amp Big Boi. We will soon know. Pre-orders for both will be within the next week or so.
I have kept track of the upcoming pressure washers. Thank you for mentioning it. I started snooping for information. I’m not in a rush so I’m looking forward hear more about them. Thanks.
I don't mind paying a higher price, IF the parts are easily sourcable and replaceable. Basicallly, I buy good things so that they last, and when they fail I can find parts and fix it.
That is the mindset to have if you can afford it for sure!
This video is very good. I really need help with my 630. It just won't run. Keeps tripping the breaker and I've used different tips including 5.0 etc and it just isn't working for me.
I had issues with my breaker because it was a arc and gfci combo and was too sensitive. I changed out that 20A and switched it out for a 30A and had no problems. It uses a good bit of energy to get going.
Would you pick that scale up at?
Amazon - amzn.to/3ZkrLZD
This bad boy is awesome. Maybe you'll win the Kranzle from Eddie and can test that 😆That is another $800-$900...ooof
Eddie says my money is too different so I don’t qualify for the giveaway. 🤣🤣
I want this pressure wash but unfortunately I only have 15 amp circuits available
The new 2.3 and Big Boi pro coming will be 15amp machines. I just pre-ordered the big boi to review.
I just finally finishing my setup today and my brand new AR630TSS runs continuously. All the rest of my setup is top end components. Using ACTIVE Premium Short Pressure Washer Gun mated to a BluShield Aramid "Kevlar" Braided Rubber Pressure Washer Hose. Running it through a brand new CR Spotless-20. Not a single leak anywhere. Plugged into a newly install 240v receptacle. According to the pressure gauge at the nozzle, I am getting good 1000 psi pressure at the gun using a Mosmatic 5.0 orifice Nozzle. My incoming water flow source supplies over 5 gpm. I can hear it making a clicking noise when I pull and release the trigger however the pump itself runs continuously. I've only run about 20 gallon through it but am afraid to use it as I don't want to damage something or have it overheat.
Help Keav, what am I missing? Any ideas?
Have you tried to use a nozzle that has more pressure such as a 4.5 or 4.0? Is this in the U.S. since it is a 240v? Try using the pressure regulator knob and adjust up and down to see if the pressure switch engages. Make sure it is the TSS model by seeing if it has the plastic triangle Hooked up to the outlet and power cable running to the motor. Trying to think of anything else you have all the best stuff and it should be turning off and not running. There is a 630 unit that runs all the time, but you said it’s the TSS model. Is it like a surge where the motor and pump are running or it is just idling?
@@CarsWithKeav I am in the United States. Sorry, I misspoke before when I said 240v, I meant to say dedicated 20 amp circuit with that special receptable. I ordered the AR | Blue Clean AR630TSS-1900 PSI Car Detailing Pressure Washer With Total Stop System which reads right on the CarSuppliesWarehouse DOT Com email receipt. Also tried the Mckillans 4.0 and MTM 4.5 nozzle, still doesn't shut off. It is basically always-on idling constantly and gets slightly louder when I pull the trigger. I do hear an audible click when depress and release the trigger. Same clicking I have heard in your videos. There is nothing definite that reads TSS on the outside of the unit. It does have the power cord running to the motor. Not sure what you mean by "plastic triangle". It does have the plastic cover over the Green power toggle switch. I will contact CarSuppliesWarehouse tomorrow. This is baffling
@@CarsWithKeav Sorry, I meant to say it is plugged into a 20 amp dedicated circuit (not 240v). It is definitely the TSS model. I also tried 4.0 and 4.5 nozzles. It sound like it basically idles and then ramps up a bit when I plug the trigger. I can hear the audible clock it make when I pull and release the trigger. The pressure is coming out of the nozzle just fine. It just won't stop running.
@@GameOverSqueeze Sounds like possibly a faulty pressure switch. Have not heard of that being a normal issue with these.
Worked with the Tech Support folks a Blue Clean and it was determined to be a faulty Micro-Switch. Easy fix. New switch is one the way. These folks were a pleasure to work with.
Keav, I still got eyes on your channel buddy. Great content as usual. Where can I locate that hood holder?
It’s on Amazon here is the link it can go horizontal and vertical. It has been the best investment I have made for the videos. Nice casters too with locks. amzn.to/3VrC4sV
@@CarsWithKeav Dude, I Love your channel, can't wait to meet you some day in person
But I love your videos 🎉
but can you tell us without all these numbers is it just as powerful as a gas powered ?
No 110v electric pressure washer will be as powerful as even the weakest gas pressure washer. These are for car washing which a gas pressure washer is too powerful for most of the time unless you dial it’s power back some.
@@CarsWithKeav
Thank you so much, my brother reply fast reply.
I’ve been running on mobile detailing business for four years now I have a Honda gas powered, but I just like the space of the electric powered washer. Again, I know it’s just an opinion I like your opinion is this good for fleet washes?
@@CarsWithKeav
Thank you so much for the reply. I’m very grateful. Also very fast reply lol
I run a mobile detailing business , I have been for four years. Most detailers hate electric, but I think it’s convenient and compact.
Will be able to handle 3500 w generator
Also, I do fleet vehicles as well exterior eyes are really dirty. Can this handle it you think?
I like the compact space again like I said that’s why I want this .
Put that spray nozzle down while doing other things which makes things very clear and then go back and hose it off if you need
@@Shane7son I know many who run these in their mobile setups and they run all day long without issues. Most of them don’t do fleet washing it would be one customer and then on to the next one so there is some time between vehicles. Not many vehicles in one spot. I would say the gas powered ones are probably built better for that type of repetitive washing. Most fleet vehicles also are usually wrapped or most owners don’t care about the paint as much so a gas powered would be more efficient just because of the pressure and flow it can do removing a lot of road film without soap.
@@CarsWithKeav thank you
I only have 15 amp line
Which washer would be best
Thank you
Active 2.3 if you don’t mind something a little louder if not hold out for the second batch of Big Boi Pro’s they are holding them to make sure the initial issues are taken care of.
Thanks for sharing Kev....🙏
You’re Welcome!
I just watched an AMMO video on this same pressure washer and he said it's right around 10oz of oil...just so people have a rough estimate/expectation level
Thanks for the great information! Hopefully it helps anybody asking this question.
Happy Easter! Uberflex(1/4) vs Kobrajet(3/8)? Asking cause been doing a little research and being seen to think it doesn’t make a difference under 100 feet.
Depends on the machine to me. If it’s an AR630 or anything 2 actual GPM I prefer 3/8 especially at 100 ft. 1/4 hoses I tend to use with like Ryobi and other ones like that. Even the A tube 2.0 for me takes longer to stop and sometimes surges on a 1/4 hose, but never does it on a 3/8. Kobrajet is also a huge difference in price. Most companies won’t products a 1/4 hose over 50ft as well. I don’t think Uberflex does they have a 3/8 hose they though.
@@CarsWithKeav Thanks for your opinion. I already have both hoses so will go with the Kobrajet.
Hello Keav,
Is the AR630 made in Italy? I saw a video where the box it came in said made in China. Just curious.
Thanks
The sticker on the unit for serial number on mine says made in Italy. Now if you bought one with the plastic gun and hose then I guarantee those are made in china.

@CarsWithKeav I can't seem to comment on your other review.
The Italian AR website has an updated 630 unit that's rated at 600L/hr (2.64gpm). Italy uses 220v/50hz
@@MikeMJCW That one isn’t available in the U.S. as far as I know only in Europe. TH-cam doesn’t like links being posted most likely.
Can you buy a adapter for that plug or do you have to buy a new plug-in?
It’s a GFCI plug at the end that can be replaced with one for a 15amp if needed. There are also 20 amp to 15 amp plug adapters. amzn.to/4eeHAFm
I bought the AR from Clean Garage just last month and it came with a 15A plug
@@danielmai4063 Nice! Might have been old stock before they made the change.
How long is your hose? I have this pressure washer and I just wall mounted it got the hose real quarter inch. It’s 65 foot and my pressure is noticeably less.
50ft 3/8 inch hose. Pressure washer like this I think 3/8 hose is the way to go. 1/4 inch hose over 50 ft will start to get pressure drop. Depends on the hose reel as well some use very small diameter fittings that could restrict flow.
Can we get more content Lol 😂
Every Monday at noon! 🤣
Thank you for the outlet explanation… I felt so dumb, we just got a professional grade pressure washer at work… I looked at the GFCI and plug.. and was like damn.. am I going to have to change this or what… quickly realized why certain outlets have that T- cutout… one of those moments where I was like “damn, this entire time and never why the outlets are shaped differently… SMH..
I thought the same when I installed my 20 amp outlet. I’m like that’s a weird prong then when getting the AR630 I figured it out. 🤣
Do you have a way to test for starting amps and running amps? AR claims the starting watts is 8400 watts… I don’t so that being possible. I have it set up in a detail trailer and have had nothing but problems trying to get it to work consistently. I have it running on a 30A breaker on the generator. I would buy a tool to test that but I don’t have a dedicated 20 amp breaker available to me to test…
I’m trying to get a meter to test I don’t have one that works with the 20AMP plug on the machine. I do know Clean garage says you need 7200 watts.
Info For Mobile Detailer Setups:
AR Tri-Plex Pumps must be gravity fed when being fed from a water tank
The tank should be AT LEAST 12" above the pump
The tank should be as close to the pump as possible
The inlet hose diameter should be doubled in size when gravity feeding (1.5")
Generator Requirements:
To properly power a commercial pressure washer long term we suggest using the following formula when determining your generator wattage:
AMPS X VOLTS X 3 = At least 7200 running watts
Just used mine for 1st time this weekend. Power is great. Not loud at all. Fantastic machine
That is awesome! It is an amazing machine.
if you were to buy a pressure washer today for home use washing vehicles would you go with the big boi pro or the ar630tss? I do have the dedicated 20 amp and $ just weighing my options as far as value
AR630 all day if you have a 20 amp dedicated.
They must have updated the plug recently. My AR630 TSS that was bought a couple years ago from The Clean Garage has the 2 vertical "15 amp outlet style" prongs. Obviously I only use it on a 20 amp outlet/circuit but I guess they made it a little more idiot-proof.
Yeah, lots of complaints, but they created there own now because people don’t know what to do with the new plug. It pulls a lot of amps and it has been known to trip some 20AMP. Mainly the very sensitive built in arc protection ones.
What was the amperage when you were doing your testing 4.0, 4.5 ,5.0, and with the different foam cannon orifice
I have to get a different amp meter I couldn’t read it as mine wouldn’t accept the plug. I’ll update on a pinned comment once I can find that out.
@@CarsWithKeav thanka keep up the good work
It's like 19 amp. They are not kidding about the 20amp circuit.
@@mulhallsj yeah I heard they used to ship with a regular 15amp plug and too many people complained about it so they changed the plug. It for sure runs high as it was tripping my 20
Amp built in arc detection breaker. They are very sensitive so had to switch to just a normal 20AMP and it never tripped after that.
Is this ceramic drive or wobble drive
Crankshaft Plunger Pump with Ceramic Pistons.
@@CarsWithKeav I should have said axeil cam
I assume you will review BiGBoy and Active 2.3, which I'm looking forward to because I want to upgrade my pressure washer. Thanks for your hard work.
Absolutely, I bought and reviewed this just to make sure I know the benchmark in this category of pressure washers. I bought the Comet 1700 as well to know the competition. Just waiting on the Big Boi for pre-orders and should have a review unit coming from Active. Either way I am getting them review product or not. I’ll be buying two of the Big Boi products the duo and the pro.
I use this pressure washer everyday about 2-4 cars . Iv had it for almost 2 years! This is my second one . The first one i baught broke right after the warranty , but i did lack oil changes on it. So make sure to change your oil and youll be good!
I feel the oil changes and maybe a once a year tear down is needed to rebuild. I own multiple BMW's so I already have the mindset of fixing things before they break. LOL
Wow, u almost had me looking this up to buy it. Haha great, informative video!
It is a great machine, but a big investment. It is a proven workhorse in the industry. The 20AMP is really the only drawback.
I bought one last summer from ebay and it came with standard US 3 prong. I'm running a Predator 3500 generator, should that be enough power? I had no problems with the AR when I first started using it but on my last mobile detail of the year it would trip the generator and power down. I've heard other people had problems with this and they converted their 3 prong into the RV type plug yours came with and shortened the cord. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? I was using a 1/4 in Uberflex hose at the time. ps your channel is awesome and informative, best of luck
It pulls some amps that’s for sure close to 19. I think they change the cord after so many people were tripping there 15amp breakers with it. I do know Clean Garage states you need 7200 watts to safely run it. Since it’s induction it will pull lots of starting power each TSS cycle.
@@CarsWithKeav appreciate the response man
Been eyeing this unit for a long time since Obsessed first reviewed it. Did you notice a difference at all in amp draw switching out the foam cannon orifices? Using a 5.0 nozzle to get below 15 amps is awesome, wondering if changing the orifice would bring it down as well when using a foam cannon. Awesome videos as always!
I actually just tested yesterday with all 5 pressure washer in this price range for a comparison video. 4.5 gets you just under 15 amps like 14.7 and a 1.5 orifice works and foams well at 13 amps.
@@CarsWithKeav that's awesome news. Appreciate all the testing you do on these units.
Great idea to pre-dilute Incredible Suds, it’s such a pain to deal with in small amounts!
It’s been great so far pre-diluting. It was so thick it would stick to the walls of every measuring cup and bottle. 🤣
lol thumbnail poses xD... Great info on that pressure washer, 750 is worth it.
It is and when we review all the new ones come out I think they will make this an even better value. I don’t think the new ones will be so easily serviceable, but they do have better warranties.
That's a nice shirt ya got there!
Gives me super powers! Problem is Rinseless wash seems to be its kryptonite. 🤣
Did he say BEST 👀....... 🍿 .... ALL IN!
So far! We got more to go and pre-order just started in the Big Boi.
As a Brit who has had the plastic 'quick connects' as you call them for the past 30+ years. The plastic ones last longer than the brass. Usually the brass start leaking or are hard to remove.
Maybe they are made better there. The plastic ones here in the U.S. break easily. I could start a recycling plant which is why I stick to stainless steel now.
@@CarsWithKeav maybe from the strong UV? We obviously don't suffer from that in the UK.
@@CalMUK91 Probably that and just cheaply made plus us Americans do things extra so we tend to test the limits of any product. LOL
Great review! Thank you for making that investment for your videos!!
You’re Welcome!
I love mine. The sound of the cheaper stuff drives me up a wall, but the AR just sounds like money. I can't say enough good things about it.
Yeah, I like this sound way better. We shall see what kind of vibration we get on the shelf soon.
Not "that" shelf, right? @@CarsWithKeav
@@mulhallsj It actually does very well on that shelf. The weight keeps the vibration down. I put a topper on it so it has a nice flat surface to sit on.
This thing is a tank. It fell from a 6ft high shelf by accident, while running... Not a dent, still works like a champ.
That is awesome it didn’t get damaged did it hit on the pump side or the motor side just curious I think from that distance the weight do the motor would have it fall that way.
@@CarsWithKeav From the pump side. I didn't have a hose reel at the time, just the hose attached directly. Yanked too hard when I though there was slack... the pump side got dragged first.
@@felipe_silve Built like a tank for sure. Hate see what and active 2.3 pump would like like after that fall.
Great review! I noticed you recommended staying with a 3/8" hose (& not using a 1/4" hose).
I pre-ordered a Bigboi Pro. Would you recommend the same? I am trying to decide if I can/should use my uberflex 50' / 1/4", or spend the money to pickup a 3/8" hose. Appreciate your thoughts/suggestions.
My experience 3/8 hoses on the higher GPM machines the start/stop seems to work way better. Especially on the Active 2.0 my 1/4 uberflex it takes 2 seconds longer to stop and it surges every now and then. 3/8 hose never have those problems. I just prefer them especially the Blushield and Gray ones on Amazon as they have a smaller diameter than say a Kobrajet.
Thanks for sharing the technical aspects between the 2 size hoses, and how electric pw might respond/react. Upgrading from my gas pw, so a little bit of a learning curve.
Last question .. Which 3/8" hose would you suggest? Uberflex has a 50 foot 3/8" hose. I don't think I need a heavy comercial grade hose, like what Bigboi is selling. Just need something to enjoy using while I wash my car.
@@HeadShot1171 I really like the Blueshield Kevlar hoses. Lightest 3/8 you can get and a much smaller outer diameter than most all 3/8 hoses. It costs more, but not much more than an Uberflex 3/8. amzn.to/3VIhZOQ I did a video on it as well compared against an Uberflex 1/4 inch th-cam.com/video/cuw8ps0h_XE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xqdAD4qZAS6pPML6
Thanks for taking the time to respond. Appreciate it!
what's going on at the end of this video ???????????????????
Just some bloopers I assume is what you are referring to.
I’m with you on preferring a 25 over a 40 nozzle. I have a low gpm pw though and as you said with this 40 might make more sense on this beast. Be interesting to see if move to it it.
Nice get. These are definitely great units and seem to make more sense from a value performance perspective. As nice as the Kranzle is it only makes sense to me from a price no object or for someone using it a ton. Given what your doing now I think you could probably justify either one. I can’t justify either as mine isn’t wall mounted. Since I have to break down and set it up evertime a garden hose and Gilmour foam gun make more sense for a weekly maintenance wash when the car isn’t very dirty.
Nothing wrong with a Gilmour and hose. Maybe try an Eley sprayer it is very good, but expensive. Give great pressure for rinsing and awesome quick connect ability to work with the Gilmour. I’ll have a video out in a week or so.
@@CarsWithKeav I just looked at it. That would be convenient to have a quick connect for just the nozzle and pop the foam gun onto it. I’ll have to see it in action in your video.
The way i do it now is I have a shut off valve at the end of the hose with a quick connect. Then I just swap between a sprayer and the foam gun. I’ve used Melnor multi sprayers for years. I love being able to switch between full, shower, jet and flood for certain parts of the engine.
@@seashackf1 I really like the Orbit sprayer, but I just stick to Shower mostly as I use it for the spotless rinse. It has no flow limit when you just want tons of water.
@@CarsWithKeav the orbit looks very similar to the the Melnor so it’s just just personal preference at that point. Either way, they’re both reasonably priced and more than get the job done. 👍
That thing is so awesome!!
It sure is!
The trademark of the nozzle pls.
The test nozzles are custom using 1/4 Quick connects and nozzles from Northern Tool. The Blue nozzle guard is an MTM Aqualine.
What do you think about the krenzla ?
I think it’s great I just can’t justify the cost from a hobbyist perspective. Plus the AR has way better numbers performance wise. Kranzle struggles to get to 2.0 gpm and AR just cruising at 2.2 gpm.
This is the best. Nothing compares to it
Agreed, nothing I have seen so far.
Like to see active 2.5 will be like
In a few weeks we will soon see. I’ll put out a video as soon as I get it.
I didn’t know the 20amp plug identification tip you gave. Great to know actually!
Yup, there are many 15amp outlets with 20 amp breakers behind them and that works, but a 20 amp outlet has that plug design. To get around this many will change the GFCI plug end to be a 15amp then change their breaker behind it to be 20 amp.
Good comparison! I was torn between the AR and the Kranzle… ultimately ended up going Kranzle due to repair info and parts more easily available in the US and on TH-cam. The AR seemed tough to find basic parts to rebuild when compared to the other. Would be an expensive video, but comparison between the two would be neat to see.
The AR now seems to have readily available parts through many outlets. I’m
Afraid to review the Kranzle as I know
It won’t put out these kinds of performance numbers and the new ones coming look to have even better numbers. I might not be so excited just do to the price. Between Zoro and Clean garage they seem to have most of the parts now.
I would say AR parts are just as accessible if not easier to get compared to kranzle.
@@YuriTarded-hf1nv They are now for sure. A few years ago a little harder to get. I just hate they only carry a one year warranty. Seems to be the only downfall other than it pulls a lot of Amps.
@@CarsWithKeav fair enough. The OG model I just tested and I got 2.11GPM at 1200PSI which is awesome. The reason I pulled the trigger on that instead of waiting for the active 2.3 or other new models is the track record. For 500-800$ I don’t really want to be the beta tester. At $350 for the active 2.0 it’s well worth being the beta tester for the pressure washer.
@@bobekdj the og model? I’m guessing you meant kranzle 1322? I wonder how you got 2.1 gpm at 1200 psi when they tested it at 1.9gpm @1000 psi? With the higher psi you used your gpm should be lower than the 1.9gpm but somehow your tested gpm is higher?
I have been looking at the hot water version
I hear it is awesome! Just not something I needed so saved a few hundred.
@@CarsWithKeav I do hood cleaning and I have been looking at different solutions for hot water. I am surprised to find out that the Ryobi EZ Clean gun can take hot water. But this pump has been on my radar just hard to justify when I have 5k to 7k hot water units that do the job.
@@basstruckman AT those prices they have to be some beefy units. Ryobi EZ Clean is so versatile use mine with water out of my hot water heater so not really hot just 135 degrees, but is great for cleaning bird poop on my mailbox and things like that. I hook it up to a 3 gallon backpack tank and go to town.
I'm interested in seeing if the active 2.3 will be on the same level cuz it's supposed to be cheaper
Cheaper, lighter and runs on a 15 amp circuit. Can it hang performance wise I will for sure find out. I’m curious how serviceable it is.
@@CarsWithKeav exactly and as a new mobile detailer cheaper and lighter and 15amp is kind of a gimme but it's the quality that I'm worried about
I bought the active 2.3 and it's amazing for flow but the fact that I can't use my MTM nozzles bugs me and also the 2.3 is so so so loud that I'm selling it and I ordered the 630tss instead
I ended up getting the 2.3 and sold it a few months after solely because of how loud it is ( extremely) also r fact that you need to use a 4.6 or 4.5 orifice was annoying because I already had 3 upgraded nozzles with the rubber protection that are 4.0. I ended up getting the 630 TSS and the difference in noise level is extreme. I can use it and be right beside it and have a convo plus I can use all my tips again . The active is nice but for the extra$$$ ( if you can afford it) the AR is better.
nice !!!
Thanks!
These mid grade pressure washers are great! Definitely an upgrade to the standard Home Depot special without being a Kranzle. But the first time I used a Kranzle I was shocked haha.
I’m sure it’s great just the cost to a hobbyist even for the AR is pretty steep. Mobile setup I would for sure run a Kranzle or AR630 and have a backup of the opposite brand ready to go.
It’s hard to describe with words how much more enjoyable the Ryobi to Kranzle experience was. I was truly like a kid on Christmas the first time I used the new one
You going to switch from 2.0
I am for now until the 2.3 and Big Boi comes out then it’s which ever is the best goes on the shelf.
@@CarsWithKeav WashR pro looks 👌
@@bbqguy6538 I just pre-ordered it and they say shipping early to mid April. About the same timeframe as the 2.3. Should be a fun few weeks.
@CarsWithKeav Yup, I just did the same.. used imjoshv discount code
Yup, did the same.
You the man !
Thanks 🙏
Needs a cart to take it around.
It for sure does. Heavy.
I have one. It’s been flawless
Same for me so far!
What orifice in your foam cannon?
@@imDnice 5.0 nozzle and 1.25 orifice on foam cannon. Must have a 20amp circuit
Whoo i can't afford that
If I didn’t have this TH-cam channel I couldn’t either. Well maybe I could, but I won’t eat canned chili everyday to get one. 🤣

Thx
Nice

Everything is more difficult with that Camera in the other hand. 🤣
