My AVA P60 is over 3 years now. Washing my car 1-2 times per week for these 3 years + other outdoors jobs. It has never failed. Had a small leak in the innertube in the pistol 4 weeks ago. Bought an upgraded innertube in steel and changed it myself for 30 NOK (~3$). Spare parts is easy to buy online if you need it. AVA has repair videos on youtube. I will absolutely buy AVA again. Greetings from Norway!
Hello from the UK. Thanks for your comments. Glad you like AVA Machines. I look forward to seeing the next generation of pressure washers over time. Can't wait to see what they will do next
I have a p60 also had it coming up to 3 yrs I use it for my work have the 4 m extension lance and have switched all connections to quick release it makes a big difference I found the hose connection to gun so hard to take on and off got two Lance's and two guns all with quick release
Got one, it’s absolutely brilliant. After years of under-performing “yellow” products that catastrophically fail way earlier than they should under light domestic use and are ALWAYS beyond economic repair, I made the move to AVA. Design, build quality and performance are on another level in my opinion. (I don’t work for or retail AVA products incidentally)
@@turbo3492honestly its fixable, simply reduce the water pressure slightly or run it through a water tank and let me know what happens. I Test all the avas on a daily basis so I and I had a P80 which was blowing because of too much inlet water pressure. Give it a go and let me know how you get on
Thank you for the video Dave. Perfect timing as I looking forward for something to watch with my dinner. That Ava looks a nice piece of kit and their warranty is very impressive too. 👍
Thanks Karl. This Evo p70 is my main pressure washer now. I'm featuring few more machines soon but I think in terms of build quality and features this one just ticks all the boxes
So I've only used this pressure washer one time. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP The one time I used it, it worked great. I recently had new siding installed but kept the old gutters and small areas surrounding my house that weren't replaced so they looked horrible and dirty because of the new siding. I needed to get it cleaned asap. When I used the pressure washer, man it just melted all the dirt and grime that was on those areas of my house. I used that krud kutter soap and it was over after that. Easy to assemble, feels durable, very simple to use. Also, I purchased a used one to save money and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. I want to get more use out of it so I think I'll be washing the cars and update this comment as time goes on.
I have to thank you for your brilliant reviews of pressure washers, especially the AVA range. I bought a K4 Premium Logic a few years ago and after very average performance and two failures I needed a replacement. The first failure occurred within the warranty period meaning the whole thing had to be replaced. The AVA P70 is a little too big for my purpose and the lack of slow start function meant that the bigger AVA machines are prone to blowing fuses and would have irritated me. So I went for the Smart P60 Bundle. This has so much more power than the old K4 and as Karcher wanted £145 to repair it I went for the Smart P60 at Sale price of £199 direct from AVA. The basic Foam Cannon had a manufacturing fault and so AVA replaced it FOC with their Premium version. The 8 metre hose was a little short and so I bought a 6m Bosch pressure hose for £15 from Amazon as it has the same end fittings. Ava say that you can use your existing Karcher accessories but this is not exactly correct as you need to cut some of the plastic off the screw collar to allow the bayonet to seat correctly. Thanks again for your in-depth reviews
An AVA P70 Evo has turned up at my house on the back of the both of guys reviews & after repairing my 18yo Karcher 5.550m thought it was maybe time for a new PW. Until the other day I had never heard of AVA until your review & was going to buy a machine from the blue corner, but so far I've not regretted my purchase The performance and build quality seem fantastic & hopefully my opinion will still be the same in 2-10years time . The design details that have gone into this really make it an epic machine. . As a bonus all of the Karcher accessories fit this machine with the correct pressure rating so don't have extra cost of new lances/adaptors to be factored into cost to change. The foam cannon that comes with the machine will be useful for spraying TFR or other harsh chemicals as I have a brass headed one already. Keep up the great content !
Thank you very much for the comment. It's a relatively new company but they are making huge progress and I genuinely believe in their pressure washers for the car care enthusiasts 🙏
I'm using one for my mobile valeting business and it's doing a good job. The foam cannon can definitely be improved and a longer hose would've been better, but for this price there's nothing better on the market (paid £279 on Black Friday). Plus, the warranty is amazing, 20 years is definitely a long time.
@epicautomotivedetailing so is this the one man? I only need it for my car like but looking for something decent man so if ur using it for a bissness should be tip top for doing my car shouldn't I mean I ain't no professional like u man👍 but I want the professional machine two get the best quality I can for money like u no alot of people saying the k7 I have no idea so.im looming for.alterntuvs so yeah just wondered ir opioin man of that's OK let me no thanks🙂👍💯🇬🇧
I have the smart p60, and for what you get, it is fantastic, and the price is very reasonable. I first saw dave review these when they first come out, and that what made me get mine. No regrets what so ever
Amazing editing and presentation + review from you both, I always wish most companies would provide a 10-12m hose as standard, 8m is just a bit to short! looks like a well built solid machine
I buy year ago p55. I threw out ava snow foam canon in a bin, buy mjjc. And i can tell after one year use. Its one of the best and compact washer in my life. Thanks to epic’s reviews. They realy help to make a choise.
Brilliant video Dave! Loved the presentation and having Adrian over to this one. Haven't had the chance to try out any AVA products yet, but it seems to be a very good alternative to the mainstream. Keep it up 🔥
Great video Dave 👍👍 I’m looking forward to the servicing videos to come too! I’ve had my evo P80 for a few months now and I absolutely love it due to well everything you said in this video . My only issue was the snow foam cannon ! Not the thickest foam and it’s consumption was horrendous!! So I got an MJJC pro 2 . However both it’s standard nozzles the 1.1mm and the 1.25 mm had the Ava pulsing while in use ! After a conversation with Ava uk ( who were very helpful by the way) I was advised to switch to a larger 1.35 mm nozzle due to the high psi of the P80, I’m pleased to say this did the trick and it works perfectly! Thick creamy foam even using my usual bilt hamber auto foam which isn’t notorious for thick foam, and uses way less product too and no pulsing from the P80 😀😀 so if anyone else is having the same issue hopefully this will help!!!👍 keep up the good work Dave
Nice bit of kit, many advantages over other PW machines. As a weekend warrior, it's probably a little rich for my blood but when they reduce in price and my current PW dies, it has to be at the top of the queue. BTW, the unit looks fantastic Dave. Big up to Adrian, his UA-cam content is cracking too. 👌
Thanks Lee 👍 this thing is definitely up there in cost isn't it, competition is the K7 and P180 I guess, which I personally couldn't stretch to. The P55 Go is the one that really caught my eye.
Great presentation Dave, lots of supporting facts, very well done. I’m right now in the market to replace my disappointing K4 full control but want to buy a machine that comes recommended like this 👍🏻
Had a p60 evo it kept blowing fuse in plug, I wasn’t using an extension cable, to be fair I got my money back so I dug deep and got the mighty kranzle k7 auto stop with a 20m hose👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽, on paper the Ava is perfect with the great 20 yr warranty and ergonomics of it
@@epicautomotivedetailing kranzle is a different beast altogether, but still think Ava are good in theory, I must have had a Monday morning or Friday afternoon jobby, wouldn’t discount having another if I went mobile
Good informative video as always, I've just started out as a mobile valeter but unfortunatly I've just got the karcher k5 premium so won't be able to get a new pressure washer for a while but it's always good to be shown other options for when the time comes to upgrade. 👍🏻
Im in the process of starting my detailing business i recently bought the Nilfisk E145 haven't used it yet been busy working but thx for the video really appreciate your info
Nice video - I few months ago I wanted to get an Ava but they were out of stock, so ended up with the Nilfisk 180. Very happy with it do far, although I am very interested to see how the AVA fairs over a longer period of time. it does look plasticky, but it seems to have stood 12 months of regular use and looks good for it. The new studio is coming on a treat.
Looks good, I previously bought a P80 and it was very frustrating blowing fuses, I run some tests on this machine and found it was pulling 14.5amps without a fuse fitted so im not surprised it was blowing the 13amp fuses. I contacted AVA themselves.. after a few weeks they reluctantly gave me a full refund. BUT I didn't have to return it! So I'm left with a P80 I can't really use but I did receive a refund.
Well done that's good to hear. It's interesting to hear about the Fuses. I felt like the p80 was too powerful for its own good sometimes. Mine blew a few times at one location where we tested the voltage so we changed it to a P70 for testing purposes and it's been flawless.
Wow I've been waiting patiently for you to do a review on the P70 & I totally agree with the fact that it should come with a longer hose + the better foam cannon as standard with the P70 Coz I would buy one ASAP looking forward to seeing more things from AVA Dave?? 👌🏻👍🏻😁
I know for a fact they have seen all the comments and points and I can see them changing this to have a longer hose very soon as they really do listen to the audience
@@epicautomotivedetailing OMG if you can give them feedback & they take notice of the customers & do something about it that's awesome I will wait & see what happens then before I buy one?? Thanks for that Dave very much appreciated!! 👌🏻👍🏻 Kind regards Dave... 😁👍🏻
@@epicautomotivedetailing Wow that's awesome dave & what great respect for you if you are being listened too by a big company like them!! 😱👌🏻👍🏻😁 Thanks so much for getting back to me & I will be keeping an eye on their website dave all the best & very much appreciated!!! 😁👍🏻
I have an Ava the foam canon came broken and they replaced included some extra accessories. I then had another issue with the trigger and they ended up just sending me a hole new unit. Not sure how I feel but the warranty is very good.
The only issue Ive ever seen with the triggers is where people leave them out in freezing temperatures and then the o rings warp causing leaks. Glad they resolved it 👌
Nice review. 5 out of 5 for me, easily the best I have ever used. I have the Smart P60 which is good enough for my needs, which I think has a shorter hose but as long as you position the washer near the vehicle it's easily long enough. As for the foam gun, yes the basic one does eat foam for fun. But whatever you include, you have to factor into the price so It's the age old argument of do you put the brass gun in the kit and charge more for it, or leave it out and let those who want one pay the extra? I have noticed there is now a third one from AVA described as the Premium foam cannon, though it's priced lower than the brass one. A comparison video of all three would be useful.
Thanks for your comment. Yes I have new cannon which gets featured in my next video. I really liked it. Another innovation from AVA. That's what I love about them
@@epicautomotivedetailing Brilliant, look forward to that. I bought the pole with the wash mitt thing attachment this week which should be very useful to me and anybody with back problems - I think that would be worth mentioning in a video too. Just need to upgrade the foam gun but would like to stick with the brand, but with the new one out now I'm not sure which one to go for.
I bought a mid range P70 at a Black Friday price and really like it. I've given the foam cannon a chance and it is a bit poo like you say. My Autobrite one can hopefully be converted with a different fitting (previous pw was Nilfisk ...).
@@GrahamReid34 yep your right had an Ava p80 was rubbish kept blowing fuses my genny wouldn’t run it sent it back and brought kranzle and never looked back, as you say mines took a right battering so reliable and dependable
@@colinmcburnie2881 I'm using a P70 with a 8000W generator. First time running it it blew a fuse, but after changing to a slow release fuse, haven't had any issues. You do need a massive generator for this pressure washer unfortunately, but when paired with the right genny, it will run perfectly fine.
I'm so eager watching your videos as soon as you release them that I set the watch speed to 1.5x. 😂😂😂 Nice one pal, good stuff, really. This is why you've hit 53K and more to come👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The problem I have with this top of the line model is the snow foam gun,how many months ago did AVA say they were aware of this cheap nasty gun? We are aware of this and are looking to resolve this? Year goes by and they are still throwing this rubbish snow gun in most packs,even their top of the line,this is not a good selling point,could AVA not just give a one of their better snow guns in the premium yet washers,I did consider the P70 but when a company cheaps out on accessories so you then have to replace said items for something better just means your spending even more,that’s why i bought the P60,yes the snow gun was the deal breaker for me considering the price difference, Love the shows, would like to see a shoot out between P60 or P70 vs Karcher new HD series
They are pretty good but an equivalent rated Kranzle costs only slightly more and is superior. Having a brass pump, ceramic pistons and a metal braided high pressure hose. The pro foam system goes on the gun so the foam doesn't go through the pump. That protects the pump and the seals
I got an Ava recently for mainly patio stuff but could you recommend what soap I should be using for the car? Seem to be a million types to choose from and I have no idea where to start
Thank you for your videos, thanks to these I've decided on an AVA. Ideally I'd like a P70 or P80 Evolution but there's currently no stock. There's a P70 Master or the P60 Evolution. Do you think there's a noticable difference in performance between the 60 and the 70. Thanks Again
I know it's so frustrating because I wouldn't have made the videos if I knew they would sell out so quickly. I got the Evo p60 yesterday. I had a quick go on it and you can't even tell the difference between that and my Evo P70. Seems pretty good 👍
The p80 had the odd blown fuse but my P70 evo has seemed to have resolved it. The only problem is many are sold out now on the Ava website unless you go for the P70 master series. Which is still great
I considered the P70, it looks very good value but in the end bought a Kranzle K10/122 with a 20 metre hose. I have over 150 sq metres of block paving and believe rightly or wrongly it would cope better long term.
Had my p60 evolution 13 months worked great til last month and started blowing fuses all the time trying to get In touch is a nightmare after 3 weeks they picked up and when I got it back last week still the same problem and trying to get in touch is a nightmare
So basically they sold out of the P70 across the UK. Crazy I know but I don't think they expected such a huge following. I think it's August they are back on sale but don't have a full answer sadly
@@epicautomotivedetailing oh wow! time to decide between the p60 evo or waiting until august then! looks like such a great package with tons of thought put into it
@@epicautomotivedetailing just managed to snag a p70 Evo from Robert Dyas! Delivery June 5th. Would have preferred cleanstore but still none in stock there. Hopefully they won't update the p70 Evo this summer and give me buyer's remorse 😂
@@ceeK2 nice one. The Evo P70 had sold out pretty much everywhere across the UK. I think it's August they are back in stock but I could be wrong. Definitely don't think they are changing it . Would be good if they offer a longer hose with premium cannon
Now that’s a decent honest review of the AVA P70. How would / does it fair in comparison to a Karcher k7 knowing you have used both what’s your opinion?
Do you prefare this over the nilfisk p180... Have you had any issues with the fuses popping.. I will be purchasing ava as our next pressure washer when the k4 dies..
Yes I prefer it to nilfisk. And no the fuses have not blown on this. The P70 is perfect balance of power, flow rate and it's an improvement in my opinion compared to the P80. This is the best Ava made in my opinion
Hi Chris the new P80 is on its way honestly not long now. To be honest you can't tell the difference between the Evo p60 and P70 both look and feel identical
Honestly best advice is fly over to UK order one and bring it home 😉. In all seriousness I'm not sure if they are coming to USA just yet but the brand is really progressing so I think they could do one day 🙏
I bought the Evo P80 for my son in 2021 and it's been great for him. It's a shame that they saw fit to only include an 8m hose with the lesser models as they'd have another sale from me by now. I just can't justify buying another P80 just to get the extra 2m of hose.
@@are_sh3509 indeed, though the prices of their longer hoses are prohibitive really. Seems crazy to buy a washer with the 8m hose and then spend half as much again just to turn it into a 15m
Have to say I enjoy your videos but I do find you seem to say everything is great AVA wise. OK, just a casual user after the best value i can get for £350 ish. Why do AVA still bundle the much criticised Foam Cannon and is there an option for at least 10m hose. Please direct me to something you think i should watch. It seems to be AVA or Nilfisk??
Hello in this video for example it was my first time using the Ava p70 so I went through pros and cons, and also supercharged llama detailing conducted the review to give it a new angle. The Ava p57 was a launch video so I stated it was a paid promotion so I was basically commissioned to produce content for the UK Market. In terms of reliability yeah I have noticed a few people have fuses blown with the old p80. For that reason I believe they stopped making them to rectify the issue as EU machines don't require fuses. If you want something that's stood the test of time then the Nilfisk P180 already has that proven track record of excellence so it's the better choice long term until the UK Market has enough data on ava
Where do you get them from in the UK? I can't find the Evolution P70 or P80, they're not even listed on the AVA UK web site. Also, I have an MTM KobraJet hose which I currently use on my Karcher K4, with the Karcher K fitting for the machine side, what hose connector (machine side) does the AVA use?
Whats the technical differences between the basic and pro snow cannon? Looking at the ava easy p40 and the premium snow cannon doesn't look like the Pro Cannon you're showing here. To clarify, is the Premium Foam Cannon the SAME as the Brass Foam Cannon?
Hiya the premium cannon is better, it's not brass but it doesn't have to be. The quality of the foam and 3 jugs with lids is such a brilliant idea and it's amazing how much easier it makes it to just crack on
I'm not a pro, but wash my 2 cars weekly, I bought a P60 over a year ago, similar to this one, less powerful 2000psi and lighter......would recommend it to anyone
So yesterday Ava released a brand new model called the P40 Easy. I've just released a new video on its bigger brother but for £240 it's amazing value. Do watch it because it's a good machine in terms of spec
Just clarify I did put disclaimer that this was a paid promotion so that's why my word would have been useless as a review point if view So that's why I invited an independent reviewer to put it to the test and give his honest opinion. Which part did you actually find untrustworthy? All the information in this video is 100% correct. Please do watch the video again closely and come back to me when you find anything dishonest. Good luck 🤞
The AVA'as are great for sure, but... Yesterday I purchased a P60 2,0 to replace my Kårcher K7 Smart Control, planning on using it as a spare machine at my professional detailer Company workshop, and I must say I'm very disapointed. The P60 doesn't even feature the option of variyng the pressure/flow. The hose guide which is supposed to make the drum perfect when retracting it, is a joke! You have to move the "guide" manually. This can be done better using a hand as a guide. The AVA goes for return tomorrow

Had a p60 evo it kept blowing fuse in plug, I wasn’t using an extension cable, to be fair I got my money back so I dug deep and got the mighty kranzle k7 auto stop with a 20m hose👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽, on paper the Ava is perfect with the great 20 yr warranty and ergonomics of it
Hi Dave was it glad you got it sorted 🙌
@@epicautomotivedetailing kranzle is a different beast altogether, but still think Ava are good in theory, I must have had a Monday morning or Friday afternoon jobby, wouldn’t discount having another if I went mobile
Good informative video as always, I've just started out as a mobile valeter but unfortunatly I've just got the karcher k5 premium so won't be able to get a new pressure washer for a while but it's always good to be shown other options for when the time comes to upgrade. 👍🏻
Thanks Matt. Appreciate the kind words. Good luck on your new business. I hope you succeed
Im in the process of starting my detailing business i recently bought the Nilfisk E145 haven't used it yet been busy working but thx for the video really appreciate your info
Nice video - I few months ago I wanted to get an Ava but they were out of stock, so ended up with the Nilfisk 180. Very happy with it do far, although I am very interested to see how the AVA fairs over a longer period of time. it does look plasticky, but it seems to have stood 12 months of regular use and looks good for it. The new studio is coming on a treat.
Thanks Tim nilfisk p180 is a great machine. I did sell mine but I just like to switch my equipment on a regular basis for the channel
Looks good, I previously bought a P80 and it was very frustrating blowing fuses, I run some tests on this machine and found it was pulling 14.5amps without a fuse fitted so im not surprised it was blowing the 13amp fuses.
I contacted AVA themselves.. after a few weeks they reluctantly gave me a full refund. BUT I didn't have to return it! So I'm left with a P80 I can't really use but I did receive a refund.
Well done that's good to hear. It's interesting to hear about the Fuses. I felt like the p80 was too powerful for its own good sometimes. Mine blew a few times at one location where we tested the voltage so we changed it to a P70 for testing purposes and it's been flawless.
Have you tried a slow-blow fuse? initial inrush current might be the issue, until levelling off below 13a. Worth a try.
Wow I've been waiting patiently for you to do a review on the P70 & I totally agree with the fact that it should come with a longer hose + the better foam cannon as standard with the P70 Coz I would buy one ASAP looking forward to seeing more things from AVA Dave?? 👌🏻👍🏻😁
I know for a fact they have seen all the comments and points and I can see them changing this to have a longer hose very soon as they really do listen to the audience
@@epicautomotivedetailing OMG if you can give them feedback & they take notice of the customers & do something about it that's awesome I will wait & see what happens then before I buy one?? Thanks for that Dave very much appreciated!! 👌🏻👍🏻 Kind regards Dave... 😁👍🏻
@@davelawrence594 I spoke to them today about this I said it should definitely happen
@@epicautomotivedetailing Wow that's awesome dave & what great respect for you if you are being listened too by a big company like them!! 😱👌🏻👍🏻😁 Thanks so much for getting back to me & I will be keeping an eye on their website dave all the best & very much appreciated!!! 😁👍🏻
Nice review thanks , units looking good 👍 you hard work has paid off
Cheers Keith I've filmed some brilliant videos already which are on their way
Hey Dave, do you know if the AVA P70 is available in USA. ?
Thanks Mike K 0:41
Hi Mike not yet but they may do soon
I have an Ava the foam canon came broken and they replaced included some extra accessories. I then had another issue with the trigger and they ended up just sending me a hole new unit. Not sure how I feel but the warranty is very good.
The only issue Ive ever seen with the triggers is where people leave them out in freezing temperatures and then the o rings warp causing leaks. Glad they resolved it 👌
Love my Ava P70, great machine! Will be doing a 3month update video on my machine soon and go over anything I've found 👍
Nice one. Yeah this one is pretty amazing
@@epicautomotivedetailing definitely! Look forward to your next video 💪
@@the_jnlt_channel next video is already filmed it's a big disaster detail
@@epicautomotivedetailing definitely look forward to that 💪
Very good presentation... They really thought of many things.
Thanks very much 🙏
Very nice video. Solid and fair review.
Thank you 🙏
Nice review. 5 out of 5 for me, easily the best I have ever used. I have the Smart P60 which is good enough for my needs, which I think has a shorter hose but as long as you position the washer near the vehicle it's easily long enough. As for the foam gun, yes the basic one does eat foam for fun. But whatever you include, you have to factor into the price so It's the age old argument of do you put the brass gun in the kit and charge more for it, or leave it out and let those who want one pay the extra?
I have noticed there is now a third one from AVA described as the Premium foam cannon, though it's priced lower than the brass one. A comparison video of all three would be useful.
Thanks for your comment. Yes I have new cannon which gets featured in my next video. I really liked it. Another innovation from AVA. That's what I love about them
@@epicautomotivedetailing Brilliant, look forward to that. I bought the pole with the wash mitt thing attachment this week which should be very useful to me and anybody with back problems - I think that would be worth mentioning in a video too. Just need to upgrade the foam gun but would like to stick with the brand, but with the new one out now I'm not sure which one to go for.
Had one for four months. Only issue I have is the foam cannon, swapped it out for the Autobrite one.
Nice but the machine itself is good for you?
@@epicautomotivedetailing I think the machine is superb overall. Far better than anything else I’ve owned
I bought a mid range P70 at a Black Friday price and really like it. I've given the foam cannon a chance and it is a bit poo like you say. My Autobrite one can hopefully be converted with a different fitting (previous pw was Nilfisk ...).
Lots of love for the autobrite snow foam cannon on here. I may take a look at that
Should be a direct fit if you have a stubby. I have a P55 Go, went from a Nilfisk, my stubby just went straight on.
The updated AVA P70 master v2.0 got a 12meter hose.
Kranzle 👌🏽. You’ll never look back.
Overpriced over hyped
I actually bought one and was doubting the price sonce i paid 1k for it after brutal usage im telling u its the best
@@GrahamReid34 without a doubt Kranzle is the best all round pressure washer you can own, once you have one you will never have anything else.
@@GrahamReid34 yep your right had an Ava p80 was rubbish kept blowing fuses my genny wouldn’t run it sent it back and brought kranzle and never looked back, as you say mines took a right battering so reliable and dependable
@@colinmcburnie2881 I'm using a P70 with a 8000W generator. First time running it it blew a fuse, but after changing to a slow release fuse, haven't had any issues.
You do need a massive generator for this pressure washer unfortunately, but when paired with the right genny, it will run perfectly fine.
Very good mate! I’ve got one , wouldn’t use anything else these days 👍🏻
Thanks Rob
I'm so eager watching your videos as soon as you release them that I set the watch speed to 1.5x.
😂😂😂
Nice one pal, good stuff, really.
This is why you've hit 53K and more to come👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My next video is the biggest disaster detail probably ever seen on UA-cam
@@epicautomotivedetailing Can't wait!!!
An excellent review Dave. I am in the market for a new machine, and I will be taking a serious look at the AVA P70 big bundle from clean store.
Nice one I'm really happy with mine
@@epicautomotivedetailing Are you happy with the 8 meter hose, or do you have a longer one ?
Cheers
The problem I have with this top of the line model is the snow foam gun,how many months ago did AVA say they were aware of this cheap nasty gun? We are aware of this and are looking to resolve this? Year goes by and they are still throwing this rubbish snow gun in most packs,even their top of the line,this is not a good selling point,could AVA not just give a one of their better snow guns in the premium yet washers,I did consider the P70 but when a company cheaps out on accessories so you then have to replace said items for something better just means your spending even more,that’s why i bought the P60,yes the snow gun was the deal breaker for me considering the price difference,
Love the shows, would like to see a shoot out between P60 or P70 vs Karcher new HD series
Hello the new Easy range of Ava pressure washers are being released with premium cannon's.
Sounds like you were channelling Jeremy Clarkson with this video 😂 nice content 👌
Lol I'll take that. Bad habits from working at top gear. I love the editing style they produce
Many thanks for the review
Which one better ava p70 or ava p80 or kracher k7
Good video David. You've certainly changed up a gear. Nice machine, Well done. Did you use that EPIC SNOW FOAM? 😂 Dad
Cheers Dad. Always Epic Snow Foam
I got the p50 like you advised and its awesome. But agree with the snow foam canon. Does the pro fit that 1
Yes it fits 👌
They are pretty good but an equivalent rated Kranzle costs only slightly more and is superior. Having a brass pump, ceramic pistons and a metal braided high pressure hose.
The pro foam system goes on the gun so the foam doesn't go through the pump. That protects the pump and the seals
I got an Ava recently for mainly patio stuff but could you recommend what soap I should be using for the car? Seem to be a million types to choose from and I have no idea where to start
Infinity wax have the best all rounder products for beginners
Do you think the P60 is enough for most people? Mostly used on my own car.
Yes I do but the new Ava Easy P57 would be better for car cleaning as it comes with premium cannon and 12m hose
@@epicautomotivedetailing Brilliant, thanks. I hadn't heard about that one.
What's the maintenance and service/repair assistance considering it's a fairly new brand?
I have a dedicated video being released with Ava soon to explain all the service kits etc with prices etc
Thank you for your videos, thanks to these I've decided on an AVA.
Ideally I'd like a P70 or P80 Evolution but there's currently no stock. There's a P70 Master or the P60 Evolution. Do you think there's a noticable difference in performance between the 60 and the 70.
Thanks Again
I know it's so frustrating because I wouldn't have made the videos if I knew they would sell out so quickly. I got the Evo p60 yesterday. I had a quick go on it and you can't even tell the difference between that and my Evo P70. Seems pretty good 👍
@@epicautomotivedetailing Thank you for your reply and for your answer! I'll go ahead with the P60 🙌🏽
Keep up the good work
@epicautomotivedetailing Oh one other quick question..am I right in thinking that a longer hose that fits a Nilfisk is compatible?
@@gynads Hiya I don't know that myself. Definitely would need to research that one
Great video. Just wondering, are there still issues with blowing fuses ?
The p80 had the odd blown fuse but my P70 evo has seemed to have resolved it. The only problem is many are sold out now on the Ava website unless you go for the P70 master series. Which is still great
How’s about doing some vids on petrol pressure washers
Thanks Richard I'll add some to the list
''adjustable settings" - by that do you just mean via the gun and nozzles?
Yes mate. the adjustable nozzle is such a clever idea its amazing how many times you need to switch
@@epicautomotivedetailing Brilliant thinking from AVA then!
I considered the P70, it looks very good value but in the end bought a Kranzle K10/122 with a 20 metre hose. I have over 150 sq metres of block paving and believe rightly or wrongly it would cope better long term.
Kranzle has stood the test of time you can't go wrong with them
Had my p60 evolution 13 months worked great til last month and started blowing fuses all the time trying to get In touch is a nightmare after 3 weeks they picked up and when I got it back last week still the same problem and trying to get in touch is a nightmare
How often do these come in stock? Think I've decided to get one based on your review but can't find it anywhere!
So basically they sold out of the P70 across the UK. Crazy I know but I don't think they expected such a huge following. I think it's August they are back on sale but don't have a full answer sadly
@@epicautomotivedetailing oh wow! time to decide between the p60 evo or waiting until august then! looks like such a great package with tons of thought put into it
@@ceeK2 I know it's so annoying but they also have the p80 V2 making a return this Summer
@@epicautomotivedetailing just managed to snag a p70 Evo from
Robert Dyas! Delivery June 5th. Would have preferred cleanstore but still none in stock there.
Hopefully they won't update the p70 Evo this summer and give me buyer's remorse 😂
@@ceeK2 nice one. The Evo P70 had sold out pretty much everywhere across the UK. I think it's August they are back in stock but I could be wrong. Definitely don't think they are changing it . Would be good if they offer a longer hose with premium cannon
The quick connect seems to fail. Mine started leaking after 3 months and warranty process has been a bit of a pain.
Nice one guys. 🤘
Thanks very much
Now that’s a decent honest review of the AVA P70. How would / does it fair in comparison to a Karcher k7 knowing you have used both what’s your opinion?
It's spanks the living daylights out of the karcher k7 mate in every single way
The k7 is not even in the league below
@@epicautomotivedetailing thanks I may sell the k7 for an AVA
Do you prefare this over the nilfisk p180...
Have you had any issues with the fuses popping..
I will be purchasing ava as our next pressure washer when the k4 dies..
Yes I prefer it to nilfisk. And no the fuses have not blown on this. The P70 is perfect balance of power, flow rate and it's an improvement in my opinion compared to the P80. This is the best Ava made in my opinion
Hey man me again! Any insider news on when these may be back in stock? Or the new P80?
Hi Chris the new P80 is on its way honestly not long now. To be honest you can't tell the difference between the Evo p60 and P70 both look and feel identical
Any advice on how to one shipped to USA ?
Honestly best advice is fly over to UK order one and bring it home 😉. In all seriousness I'm not sure if they are coming to USA just yet but the brand is really progressing so I think they could do one day 🙏
@@epicautomotivedetailing Thank you !
I brought an AVA fantastic machine my only issue is there quite heavy.
Nice one. Yeah I'm kind of reassured by the weight. It's solid quality 👌
I bought the Evo P80 for my son in 2021 and it's been great for him. It's a shame that they saw fit to only include an 8m hose with the lesser models as they'd have another sale from me by now. I just can't justify buying another P80 just to get the extra 2m of hose.
You can buy an extension hose. 😊
@@are_sh3509 indeed, though the prices of their longer hoses are prohibitive really. Seems crazy to buy a washer with the 8m hose and then spend half as much again just to turn it into a 15m
Have to say I enjoy your videos but I do find you seem to say everything is great AVA wise. OK, just a casual user after the best value i can get for £350 ish. Why do AVA still bundle the much criticised Foam Cannon and is there an option for at least 10m hose. Please direct me to something you think i should watch. It seems to be AVA or Nilfisk??
Hello in this video for example it was my first time using the Ava p70 so I went through pros and cons, and also supercharged llama detailing conducted the review to give it a new angle. The Ava p57 was a launch video so I stated it was a paid promotion so I was basically commissioned to produce content for the UK Market. In terms of reliability yeah I have noticed a few people have fuses blown with the old p80. For that reason I believe they stopped making them to rectify the issue as EU machines don't require fuses. If you want something that's stood the test of time then the Nilfisk P180 already has that proven track record of excellence so it's the better choice long term until the UK Market has enough data on ava
Premium Foam Cannon Kit for P90? Can you help?
I should have said the Bosch pressure hose was an extension version which gave me 14 metres total.
Great video but think I will stick with my k5
Thanks for watching 🙏
Where do you get them from in the UK? I can't find the Evolution P70 or P80, they're not even listed on the AVA UK web site. Also, I have an MTM KobraJet hose which I currently use on my Karcher K4, with the Karcher K fitting for the machine side, what hose connector (machine side) does the AVA use?
They have completely sold out across the UK. They become so popular people are now selling them for a premium 😬
Whats the technical differences between the basic and pro snow cannon? Looking at the ava easy p40 and the premium snow cannon doesn't look like the Pro Cannon you're showing here.
To clarify, is the Premium Foam Cannon the SAME as the Brass Foam Cannon?
Hiya the premium cannon is better, it's not brass but it doesn't have to be. The quality of the foam and 3 jugs with lids is such a brilliant idea and it's amazing how much easier it makes it to just crack on
what about a hose? hose is stiff of flexible? just 10meters?
8m commercial grade hose. It's bang on 👌
I'm not a pro, but wash my 2 cars weekly, I bought a P60 over a year ago, similar to this one, less powerful 2000psi and lighter......would recommend it to anyone
Great stuff. I have a smart P60 but not started to test it yet
Can it be used with matte ppf?
Looks like they are out of stock in the UK🙁
Yeah it's so annoying as they are great machines, still no idea when they are back now
Dose it have more power then the p60
Hello yes
Can we use karcher attachments on these with no adaptations?
hiya anything with k series fittings will work
Seriously where you going with a 8m hose
I'm trying to convince them to make a bundle with a 15-20m hose and a pro cannon
Hi have you had any problems with the p80 blowing fuses
I saw a few reports. I had one time mine blew but had a new extension lead that sorted it. They have made improvements from the first generation.
Does this company ship to the United States?
Sadly not yet
I need a new pressure washer under £200 gbp. Where would your money go?
So yesterday Ava released a brand new model called the P40 Easy. I've just released a new video on its bigger brother but for £240 it's amazing value. Do watch it because it's a good machine in terms of spec
Thank you I’ll take a look. Is that the most power I’ll get for the money? 👍
How good is this compare to Nilfisk?
very good. in terms of value for money this has everything you need.
Looks a good machine ,and they are not that expensive really ,
Yeah it's fairly priced with the competitors and offers more accessories as standard
I have a p60 evolution
Nice one 👌
P70 or nilfisk 180 cannot make mind up?
Nilfisk has the edge in terms of build quality, Ava has better features
Ava are hoping to release the p80/90, later this year,which ceramic coating would you recommend
No p90 coming to UK my friend... I use infinitywax ceramic synergy coatings
@@epicautomotivedetailing asking about ceramic as I've ordered my new m240i
@@harryblinkhorn2792 wow that's a mega car 🚗👌
The amount of AVA branding on the walls and everywhere feels like a sponsored video rather than a review, doesn't feel trustworthy somehow.
Just clarify I did put disclaimer that this was a paid promotion so that's why my word would have been useless as a review point if view So that's why I invited an independent reviewer to put it to the test and give his honest opinion. Which part did you actually find untrustworthy? All the information in this video is 100% correct. Please do watch the video again closely and come back to me when you find anything dishonest. Good luck 🤞
The AVA'as are great for sure, but... Yesterday I purchased a P60 2,0 to replace my Kårcher K7 Smart Control, planning on using it as a spare machine at my professional detailer Company workshop, and I must say I'm very disapointed. The P60 doesn't even feature the option of variyng the pressure/flow. The hose guide which is supposed to make the drum perfect when retracting it, is a joke! You have to move the "guide" manually. This can be done better using a hand as a guide. The AVA goes for return tomorrow
How does Ava p70 compare to Nilfisk p180
Very well. Both machines are well built. You can't go wrong with either
I sometimes Yell at my pressure washer only to find it one night at the base of my bed with a knife
🙌
Issent this the p90 and not the p70? The p70 looks smaller
