Here is the link to the kit: www.mckillans.com/products/active-2-0-pressure-washer-with-upgrades It’s currently sold out, but you can click “notify me when available” and you’ll get an email as soon as it’s back in stock!
Yep, no kidding. First of all, *all* pressure washers, even this one need a nozzle on it (which restricts flow) to give any appreciable pressure. Secondly, it's over $500. So how is its performance "completely unmatched at this price point" then? 🙄 Can easily get a gas washer way cheaper than this that will perform as well. It won't be as compact and be electric, but still there are very few electric pressure washers that cost this kind of money. Whole thing is a sham, this guy definitely got this for free from the manufacturer. Otherwise is just talking foolishness.
Yes, pressure goes down. But that's only if water is let to speed up more freely. Here water ( fluid + ambient fluids+ surface barrier) jet is restricted . Like the ground-effect manifest.
@@bobmarley2140plus $150, not $200. Also despite this video being an ad for their products, hes actually correct.

How is there enough work in your guys areas to make a living? Are you only fixing pressure washers? Is there thousands of pressure wash companies in your area or something?
Yeah for the cost of $350+ I will stay with my ryobi keeps going strong after 3 years and the turbo nozzle tip is amazing! If it does go bad I can just get another one for $100
Ryobi makes a 2.3gpm washer for $200-$250 idk where he figures it's performance is unmatched but I'll admit the reviews on that machine are all saying it's amazing but it is t cheap like he says here it's expensive
Quit comparing a home depot pressure washer to this..most here see the cheapest shit and they think its the same as a product that costs 3x that much for good reason..
I would recommend getting the quick connections off of the feed hose. It's worth the extra setup time to make sure there are no leaks. A leak on the pump supply means air in the line. When the pump is running, that means cavitation in the chambers, and the seal cups will wear prematurely, tear, or get hot and extrude, causing low pressure and eventually failure. Cool little unit.
Dude, those quick connects are next level. I have a beastly pressure washer and rarely use it since it requires so much setup time. Thanks bro, keep it 💯
I paid 119 for small pressure waster unit with the foam addon. works great 3 years. you don't need high psi. just good soap and proper technique to do the wash.
There is so much sophistication going on on the internet for washing cars. Back then people used to throw some soap water and be done with it. Its not like its not going to be dirty again.
As someone who sells water blasters for living. The deciding factor of these machines is the power you can draw from the power outlet. It’s a sea saw. More power = less flow. If you have not flow, you will have less pressure. That’s a pretty standard pump. Three piston wobble plate design. Common in hydraulics.
The pressure of the fluid at the instant it exits the nozzle is exactly atmospheric pressure. The pressure number is measured within the pump- it 'trades' that high pressure for high velocity as it exits.
It's electric! Boogie woogie woogieee! Walmart's BlackMax 3300 psi 2.4gpm gas pressure washer was $359 when I got it, and it's actually working great. Many other brands are $700-$1200 for the same flow rates. So far, so good, 3 years in. I did buy a few 6' extensions, a flew nozzle 2' extension and a few new tips, plus the turbo tip, and finally a 24" dewalt hard surface cleaner (the rotary cleaner for driveways). It's got detergent injection at the pump as well, so it's been pretty nice to have for washing patios and houses. I also use it for washing my vehicles.
I used to detail with a $80 sun joe electric pressure washer gravity fed by a 20 gallon water tank, a $120 2000watt generator. Had a whole mobile rig for under $400 lol
The GPM output can’t be higher than your GPM input from your garden hose. Pressure washer work by forcing the water through that tiny nozzle, it doesn’t matter what fancy design the pump is, as long as it pushes the water through. The stronger the pump and the smaller the nozzle the more pressure you get. Want more GPM? Get a bigger pump and a water tanks buffer system. Or just use a nozzle with a bigger opening. - a pressure washing enthusiast.
@@dailyDIYdude A pressure washer can be used without an external tap, provided that the water source is sufficiently high to supply enough water to the pressure washer pump. If you have a pressure washer with its own water supply or can pump the water from an outside source, it is possible to do this.
As a pressure washing business owner….this thing pretty cool. 2gpm on that lil thang? Shocker. But promise if that thing ever breaks your it’s going to be quite the headache.
Im going to be honest, ladies and gentlemen. Invest in the STIHL brand. As a technician I can say we hardly see warranty repairs, but when we do its 1-3 day turn over rate, you, the customer gets their product in their hands with the problem fixed and no money spend, and most repairs we see that are damaged are by the user. My typical customer has had there equipment for 15 years and just coming for regular maintenance. So check it, we have 3 electrical pressure washers with 3 year warranty’s on each. 1600 psi, 1800 psi, 2000 psi. So not only are you getting better, you have options of equal workmanship but of different value based on output and not quality. Quality stays the same across the bored. 159.99, 219.99 and lastly 369.99. Still way under that 525 range but with literally triple the value. Do yourself the favor!
Actually when you restrict the flow pressure goes down. Bernoullis principle says that in a convergent (putting your thumb over the hole) velocity increases and pressure decreases…science!
the pressure of a sprayer like this is measured before the nozzle. the pressure drop and velocity increase occur at the nozzle only. a pump with lower flow, would thus require a smaller nozzle to compensate for the flow difference for the same pressure at the nozzle.
Foam cannons work better at 3k psi minimum, just ask the manufacturer. Even better higher psi, means smaller scrubbing bubbles getting in tighter places. But what do I know, I just wash vehicles professionally, not just in my driveway.
Gerni gave us the multi piston swashplate driven pump in 1965, starting the water blasting revolution. I had one and the performance is related to the wattage or power, of the electric motor. Mine is 3000 watt. When I pull the handle, my hand is pushed quickly back.
I love mine, I got it on sale after tax and shipping for like $320 but it’s amazing just make sure you turn it on correctly and don’t turn it on before water is flowing but that’s every pressure washer
Hi Can i ask for whats the best method of washing a car in my circumstances Things i will use 1. Only Ph neutral soap ( i wont use high ph prewash car. I use water only or ph neutral soap) 2. I have wash mitts & microfiber towels Methods I'm considering to use A. 1 bucket no grit, multiple microfiber towel B. 1 bucket no grit, multiple wash mitts C. 2 bucket, 1 washmitts D. 1 bucket no grid guard, 1 wash mitts and pressure wash the mits after ever panel
You guys are confused, once the water is out of the hose the pressure is 0, and the energy is converted into speed, therefore, the water hitting the target is a force, which is F=Mass x Acceleration. It states that the rate of change of velocity of an object is directly proportional to the force applied and takes place in the direction of the force. It is summarized by the equation: Force (N) = mass (kg) × acceleration (m/s²). Thus, an object of constant mass accelerates in proportion to the force applied. Newton's 2nd law
No when you restrict the nozzle, pressure between pump and nozzle goes up, flow volume goes down. just like a garden hose, imagine the valve at your house is the pump, now turn valve full on, with nothing on the end of the hose the hose will see little to no pressure because the supply from valve can not keep up with free flow demand hence no hose pressure. now put a sprayer on the hose, allow .5 g/m from said sprayer, the valve can supply 2 g/m you are letting .5g/m out of the sprayer. That is an oversupply of 1.5g/m and the hose will see as much pressure as the pump can make.
I use a water hose and sprayer nozzle with a cheap foam cannon. Pressure washers are nice and fast but not necessary. Just like most things in the detailing world theres a cheaper method that just takes a bit longer
With all these technical comments, I m eager to ask; 1. Are these machine kind of suck water from the tap to deliver (kind of) constant preasured water output? 2. If so, what happened if the source (water from tap) unable to keep up the volume "demanded" by the pressure washer (we called them Water Jets here) - is the washer gonna suck more water out of the tap (thus probably messing up with our water bills)?
If you’re detailing properly, the foam is first used as a no contact prewash to loosen dirt and debris. Then you rinse and foam again at which point you can couple with a buckle hand wash.
Just so everyone knows, pressure actually goes down, not up, when you restrict flow. So having a small nozzle doesn’t increase the PSI. See Bernoulli’s principle.
As a car detailer (when I was studying) who worked with these every day, I see a lot of guys who foam their cars then wash it off and call it a day. The pressure washer cannot take all the dirt off, you gotta sponge it anyways so I wouldn’t recommend a 500 dollar washer to anyone lol. You can get a cheap pressure washer, skip out on the foam cannon (it’s mostly a gimmick) and just learn to sponge your car well and you’ll still have a perfect clean.
Guys any pressure exposed to admosphere is cero...what increases restricting the flow is the speed no the pressure...the PSI rating is inside the pump, not outside...physics 101...😉😉😉😊
Umm, I don't wanna sound nerdy but... when we press the tip of the hose, it actually increases the velocity and not the pressure of the water. As a matter of fact, the pressure goes down. Source: Bernoulli's Principle
GPM is the amount of water per minute you have to have the supply or it wont matter when you restrict the flow the pressure doesn't go up it just a smaller amount with the same amount of pressure it your supply is 40 PSI it will be that no matter what you do

You guys are confused, once the water is out of the hose the pressure is 0, and the energy is converted into speed, therefore, the water hitting the target is a force, which is F=Mass x Acceleration.
It states that the rate of change of velocity of an object is directly proportional to the force applied and takes place in the direction of the force. It is summarized by the equation: Force (N) = mass (kg) × acceleration (m/s²). Thus, an object of constant mass accelerates in proportion to the force applied.

It’s so good and unmatched that he needed upgrades. 😂😂😂 not lying to you, that’s his own words
my cheap and weak black and decker is bigger than this.😅 nice to learn that there is innovation in pressure washers.
For Canadian buyers, Simoniz uses the same pump at half the cost. Same specs.
When you restrict the nozzle pressure drops and velocity increases
No when you restrict the nozzle, pressure between pump and nozzle goes up, flow volume goes down. just like a garden hose, imagine the valve at your house is the pump, now turn valve full on, with nothing on the end of the hose the hose will see little to no pressure because the supply from valve can not keep up with free flow demand hence no hose pressure. now put a sprayer on the hose, allow .5 g/m from said sprayer, the valve can supply 2 g/m you are letting .5g/m out of the sprayer. That is an oversupply of 1.5g/m and the hose will see as much pressure as the pump can make.
Unless your talkin about the water coming out of the nozzle, you are still wrong, flow rate drops and pressure and velocity increase
Quick connects are god sent
Yes Brother! BMW M3 Topaz Blue 😎 I just had the coupe but loved it so much
I use a water hose and sprayer nozzle with a cheap foam cannon. Pressure washers are nice and fast but not necessary. Just like most things in the detailing world theres a cheaper method that just takes a bit longer
GPM is important, but not knowing the PSI. I could say my hose comes stock with 10× GPM.
I came here looking for that comment. Well done.
The quick connection thing you got going is so smart wtf
With all these technical comments, I m eager to ask;
1. Are these machine kind of suck water from the tap to deliver (kind of) constant preasured water output?
2. If so, what happened if the source (water from tap) unable to keep up the volume "demanded" by the pressure washer (we called them Water Jets here) - is the washer gonna suck more water out of the tap (thus probably messing up with our water bills)?
Wait! So you can wash your car without scrubbing?? What foam can works like that? Thank you in advance.
Mixed with a good degreaser you won’t have much to hand wash
If you’re detailing properly, the foam is first used as a no contact prewash to loosen dirt and debris. Then you rinse and foam again at which point you can couple with a buckle hand wash.
Just so everyone knows, pressure actually goes down, not up, when you restrict flow. So having a small nozzle doesn’t increase the PSI. See Bernoulli’s principle.
Greenworks 2200 psi pressure washer's flow rate is 2.3 GPM and costs less, not as pretty looking but definitely more convenient and price is better!
As a car detailer (when I was studying) who worked with these every day, I see a lot of guys who foam their cars then wash it off and call it a day. The pressure washer cannot take all the dirt off, you gotta sponge it anyways so I wouldn’t recommend a 500 dollar washer to anyone lol. You can get a cheap pressure washer, skip out on the foam cannon (it’s mostly a gimmick) and just learn to sponge your car well and you’ll still have a perfect clean.
The Northstar 120v 20amp pressure washer is a far better option is you can swing it. CAT pump, industrial single phase motor. Mounted to a nice cart.
Guys any pressure exposed to admosphere is cero...what increases restricting the flow is the speed no the pressure...the PSI rating is inside the pump, not outside...physics 101...😉😉😉😊
Wish they had a 4 gpm with 4400 psi for use on industrial equipment
Idk man for mobile setups like mine I enjoy 1 gpm saves on water. Only reason I would want more flow might be for like a huge vehicle.
When you cover the hose the pressure actually decreases as the flow of the fluid increases. Basic Bernoulli’s principle
W content dude im PUMPED to watch more, (sorry had to make that pun)
Yup.........I'm subscribing....Good stuff, thanks for this 🙌🙌
Dude just showed how he made 🔥🔥
Harbor freight electric been going strong for 5 years lol. Only replaced GFI plug from dropping it
Get the wand that has a rubber centre makes it flexible to bend it
Umm, I don't wanna sound nerdy but... when we press the tip of the hose, it actually increases the velocity and not the pressure of the water. As a matter of fact, the pressure goes down. Source: Bernoulli's Principle
the pressure washer compensates for this drop in pressure, so in fact, the pressure does go up.
Now this is a setup
GPM is the amount of water per minute you have to have the supply or it wont matter when you restrict the flow the pressure doesn't go up it just a smaller amount with the same amount of pressure it your supply is 40 PSI it will be that no matter what you do
When you restrict the nozzle not the pressure but the velocity goes up
Pressure does not increase, velocity does.
I am using an improvised water pump not to fancy but it does the work.
