I'm here for the rants..
Haha! You don't want any of these pressure washers.
These videos are awesome. Thank you for all the info. My neighbor bought one of the older 2000s and complained his foam cannon wasn't getting it done. Turned out he was only getting like 1.1 GPM. Told him he should start watching this channel and saved his money for something a little more premium.
Gotta love the start of the video you dont want any of these. ha ha
Matt, as far as the motor talk is concerned brushes are usually made of carbon and graphite and a good way to remember rotor and stator are “rotor rotates, stator stays” just so you know!
Greenworks is good for me. Had it for almost three years and it works the same as day one. I do want to get a longer hose and wand for tires though. Thank you for doing this!
Spreadsheet link doesn’t work :(
I have had a 79.00 green works from lowes and it’s been amazing for 3 years.
It’s crazy that generation, I think was the best. I have the same one and hours of detailing(well beyond 60 hrs) and it sounds and runs like day 1. But once it goes, I’m jumping to something better.
Matt staring at the phone for 3 seconds after not hitting the start...day made haha
Florida man attacks his employees with pressure washer. Jeff was about to blow away.
That's the best opening for any UA-cam video ever
Can't believe I just watched this entire video. 😳 Never gets old. My Active VE52 is still going strong (well over 100 hrs). 2.0 is my next unit. 👍
Ryobi is better
“You want these things to blow up as soon as possible!” Hahahaha
I recently received the 2300 Pro. Does anyone know which fitting would be needed to change the back of the extension wand from a threaded end to a 1/4” quick connect to allow it to work as an extension for a short gun? Also, I tried using this with my 35’ hose connected to the one it comes with and got some surging and overall weird activity. I took the 25’ off and only used my 35’ and still had some issues. Is this normal? I thought at the very least the 35’ hose should work with no issues.
I hate the noise of the greenworks; however they really are workhorses. My old one just died last week and it saw 3 years of use and abuse doing mobile detailing. I did upgrade to an AR675 in the garage, but still rock the greenworks for mobile purposes. Hopefully next time I need one it will be a Kranzle in the garage and the AR675 for mobile...
1% Man yells at clouds about pressure washers 😂
I like the color theme going on here.
what is the pressure gague ur using?
"Why don't they advertise it as....." the response is marketing teams. Marketing teams have likely determined that the low information customer equates higher pressure numbers to a better solution.
And higher psi equates to higher price. You’re right but that was more of a rhetorical remark than a literal question. He’s playing the whistleblower/hero to the people role.
I here you I am obsessed also it’s not so bad
Love your realist truth
Rock ON
Love you
Hi! I’m new to your channel and it appears just in time. I was going to buy the Greenworks 3000 tomorrow. I need an electric power washer and have a lot of concrete to clean, plus windows and whatever else I can spray. Lol! I’m a 68 year female and pulling those cords wears me out. 🤣 So, would you mind suggesting what I should get? I thank you very much for any advise you can offer. 😁
So what did you end up with?
Awesome job Matt out of curiosity why don’t you use hot water pressure washers ? Question from over the pond from a plant and machinery mechanic rather than a car detailer 😁
I need that bumper sticker "Aspire to be better"
can you put a different color tile where the water went is please i always get paranoid that you gonna flood the OG garage :)
Should know that on the green works (specifically the 2300 one) each nozzle that comes with it has a different orifice size. The smaller the angle the smaller the hole. So if you grabbed a 40 degree one the pressure is way lower due to the larger orifice size. If you retry with the most narrow angle one (or your own smaller orifice nozzle tip) you should get much closer to the 2300 advertised psi.
I don't recall on that specific pressure washer, but almost all of them require the same orifice size no matter what the spray pattern chosen. I would wager the 2300 is not different.
@@ObsessedGarage reason I have come to this conclusion is on another test video each nozzle had subsequently lower PSI the wider the angle with higher GPM. And since Angle shouldn’t have any affect on this my conclusion is that each nozzle is a different orifice size I guess to match the application? Not sure.
Ok just verified. Yes they are different sizes. I have pics if you want to see them. 100% different sizes.
The orifice size is different with different tips. This whole test is flawed unless you measure each individual tip. Source is several other UA-cam reviewers .
That was the hardest Ive seen Matt laugh LOL... too good!
Why would I spend more money for all that noise, delay on start up and still not out perform my Active for car detailing.
I know, I’ve commented on the last generation smaller unit, 3-4 years later for me my Green works not only works for my 4 vehicles, but also my side business detailing. It’s paid for itself 10 fold. The accessories and equipment I’ve put on the unit(OG stuff), cost more than the unit. I know there is much better and I’ll be getting them next, but this thing was an amazing buy just fyi.
From your experience, what’s the best electric pressure washer? For concrete, patio, pavers, etc.
@@chillwill2673 I don’t think there is one really. Maybe an AR but you need at least a 20amp circuit for the better models. Gas is best for heavier duty jobs. Just that simple. Optimal numbers for auto detailing is around 1000psi and 2gpm. That’s more what this channels about.
You picked a winner. He said in the beginning they’re generally rated for 60ish hours of use. Some will do 10x that. Some will crap out first day. When I’m into something I’ll generally spend more for name brand, user experience, aesthetics. Not always practical as I’m sure you couldn’t tell the difference between a car washed by a greenworks vs Kranzle.
People are saying theirs have been amazing have no idea what an amazing pressure washer really is.
How accurate are those psi gauges?
Tuf Shine tire brush is what you want.
That accurate ^
19.05... guilty watcher every min every vid :D
The link is down, can you please repost the link to this washer spreadsheet? Thanks.
Here is the link: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1239/9256/files/The_Pressure_Washer_Spreadsheet_-_July_2022.pdf
@@ObsessedGarage Thank you!!
Did you wash your hands after taking a leak? Asking for a friend.
More then likely, your hands are dirtier before you use the restroom, then if you actually piss on your hands,
Probably, with the Power Washer...lol...
@@FXPips11 unless the pee dries on your hands haha
that phlegm though!
Today I found out I have no life!! lol. this was the second video i watched about the washers.
Just a suggestion no clue if it would work, but when testing the pressure washers that need a ramp up. Would it not be possible to start the timer and let the machine ramp up then stop it say after 5 seconds. Weigh the bucket to find how much water was produced, so when your doing the final test to check the overall flow you deduct the amount that was collected during the ramp up from the total that was collected? Might have to run the stopwatch for a min and 5 seconds during the overall flow test. Again no clue if it would work just a suggestion.
So as a mobile detailer, I find that the second to last one you tested in this video is best for me. I take the entire metal frame off, the soap container, and just have a small very durable unit. I fit it, as well as all my other detailing equipment, in a Chevy SS sedan. I get about 1-1.5 years out of each unit, about 350 cars a year. They are workhorses, and allow me to keep the use off of better quality machines
That seems backwards to me. If I'm using a piece of equipment that much, I want a nice one. But that's just me. It's like driving a crappy car 200 miles a day while my nice comfy vehicle sits in the driveway.
@@timkinley1779 well no, I would compare it more to a work truck/show car scenario. The greenworks is the work truck, and the Kranzle is the show car. Obviously I would rather spend $150 on a new greenworks every year, than $150 on maintenance for the Kranzle, which would be inevitable with the amount I use a pressure washer for jobs
Seems very much like waisting money. I’d rather have one power washer that i can service and maintain for life time then keep buying junk. The kranzle is commercial unit and they have other units meant for longer use. It just like a car if maintain it and take care of it it will last you forever. Buy once cry once
@@Baltzy24 We see things differently. Peace.
@@alexpohl6435 Half of my family thinks the same way. My grandfather would buy cheap-ass Murry riding mowers every few years instead of getting one good John Deere. Years later he had a barn full of broken down Murrys and I still have my one John Deere. People are different.
I'd love to hear your test results and thoughts on the CAT 1800PSI power washer #B0856YWWDR.
It uses a 5 piston pump rather than a 3 piston pump, and it's around $250.
The CAT is made by Active it is the same as the VE52 with a different case.
Me sitting here waiting to buy one of his mid grade pressure washer cause 🙃
I shouldn’t be watching this video? Ok ✌🏼🤣
Please do a bigboi washR pressure washer
We don't have a 110V version. Just taking one look at it tells me it the same as all of these.
you need to get a hot chick in a bikini to spray foam test! Maybe for episode 25?
who told you we are watching the video to find out which greenworks works better matty
we all here for the cheap machine rant Ha,ha...
Thanks for the testing. I just found this series & think the spreadsheet link has died.
After watching a few hours I think the Karcher 1700 and active ve52 are recommended as budget models. I think a summary video would be great because 30-40 hours of pressure washing videos is... a lot
Link works for me. cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1239/9256/files/Pressure_Washer_Spreadsheet_2-3-21_Update.pdf?v=1612375512
I’m not doubting it but I still don’t see the massive difference of the kranzle. It seems like they do last forever compared to the cheap stuff but is the performance just a fraction better or is there something I’m missing? I think he made the cheap ryobi ones get similar numbers to it right?
The Kranzle units are serviceable and use much better materials.
@@timkinley1779 they are a rip off. The AR 630 TSS is the best value for money.
agree. I have had an electric greenworks for 3 years, multiple vehicles and its fine. if you layer protection , you can wash your vehicle with a hose and decent nozzle . Also have a ryobi gas pw , works well and produces better foam
@@marksafady1059 Easy, cowboy. That's your opinion. I didn't ask anyone's opinion of Kranzle vs AR. I replied to a question about Kranzles being serviceable and materials of contruction. I'm not the person to @ regarding your feelings.
@@timkinley1779 🤣
From watching reviews on different channels, it appears manufacturers get there ratings from there 15° tips. (probably with a very small orifice)
For example the 2300 greenworks hits it's 2300psi at 1.2gpm on the 15° tip and the 25° and 40° both drop the pressure significantly to increase GPM for different applications. IMO this is very beneficial that each tip has a different orifice size because most people buying a cheap pressure washer don't have a bunch of different tips already. I'm surprised he has never noticed this after testing so many pumps.
That is incorrect. They are publishing specs of 2300 psi at something like .5 GPM flow which is nonsense. The degree spray pattern doesn't effect measurable pump pressure output. It only affects spot pressure.
I am here because i am not a frikin' baby.
The orifice size is different with different tips. This whole test is flawed unless you measure each individual tip. Source is several other UA-cam reviewers .
I'm the source for this testing. They all copied me. The angle of the spray pattern doesn't change the pressure or flow when orifice size remains fixed. A 3.0 sized 15 degree has the same pressure and flow and a 3.0 25 degree.
@@ObsessedGarage “when the orifice size remains fixed” but the orifice size isn’t fixed on the Greenworks line, atleast in the higher end models. Every tip is a different orifice size. Even on the first line of the product description on Lowe’s for the gpw2301 it says “gpm ranges from 1.2 to 2.3 gpm with included nozzles” proving different sized orifices. I find your videos very helpful, but this has been called out on at least 3 different comments on this video.
Rip off save your money, cheap Amazon one is as good or better.
Shitting on green works come to find out he sells the ones he’s telling you to purchase .. conflict of interest much🤔😂🤣
What...? Greenworks is junk. End of story.
He sell them for brokies.
Wow imjoshv raved about the 2300. He’s full of it?
@@adamg.1845 Thank you! you don't put a 10-year warranty on something that's "junk" ..end of story ; )
