NEW! Active 2.3 Pressure washer. No BS Practical Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2024
- New Active 2.3 model pressure washer review and test. I swap out my Kranzle 1322TS to take the brand new Active 2.3 for a test drive. It performed very well. You get exactly what you pay for. Specs all are true and the pressure washer produces 2.3 gallons per minute @ 1000PSI. To get better you have to spend more money. That's where this pressure washer falls. I rank it as the best unit out there in the $650 price range.

How’s the psi and performance with the 100 ft hose?
@@StealthGLI it produces the same as a short hose. Thanks for watching.
@@leoe5644 thanks.
Painted my garage with the color you posted came out nice thanks for the code always great videos man
Great to hear.
650 seems a bit steep for made in China. I got an A.R. Blue for this price from Zoro after using the common 20percent off coupon. Not for me but stayed for the video, great job as always.
Another great video! I like seeing all the different pressure washers out there and you take the time and BS out of it! I really appreciate all the work you put into your videos!
Thanks 👍 I appreciate it.
I love how clean your wall mount is. It really showcases the product. Looks so much better than the exposed pex setups
Thanks. I appreciate it
Absolutely love your set up. I have use the electric Husqvarna that I’ve had for 4-5 years. Active gun and the blue Uberflex hose. MTM 2.0 foam cannon. For a DIY car guy I’m pretty content with my set up though there is much room for higher quality options down the road. Great videos and I appreciate that you filter products you feel are worth reviewing. ⚡
Thanks a lot.
Thanks for using DIY Detail Incredible Suds, very nice kit. I think it’s the first time I’ve seen someone water the lawn with a pressure washer.
Hahaha Yeah might as well put the test water to good use.
Great review! I appreciate your sense of humour! 😂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the helpful and practical review
Thanks for watching!
I like the way you garage door is made for a sloped driveway.
Had to do what had to do. Thanks.
Thanks for the discount code, big kahuna! Great video..
No problem!!
I wish they would come out with just the pressure washer by itself without the cage and the accessories. This thing is nice but if they took away all the crap it could be a bit cheaper but also give you the option for upgrades.
Agreed. My thinking is that anyone who buys this level of pressure washer already has all the other good stuff and doesn't need their cheap accessories.
I agree. That why I took it all off the first 10 minutes I had it here. Thanks for watching
@@archiepezek Exactly!!
@@HawaiiDetailing Yep! And you've shown it beautifully displayed on a nice shelf with the correct equipment. I don't believe any other UA-camr has done that yet 🤔 and dang does it looks nice!! Not as nice as the Kranzle however still a nice option!! Thank you for all that you do!!
Regulations
Ordered one using your discount code. Thank you!
Yeah. YW
Love ❤️ the shirt 😂 thanks for the informant video.
Thanks
I'm still rocking the Active 2.0. So far the longest lasting pressure washer I've own. The GFCI plug failed a week ago but super easy fix.
It’s a great PW for the price
thanks for vid, great stuff keep them coming. ALOHA
Thanks
Thank you for this review! I’m still rocking the Karcher cube for my wall mount setup. This review confirms I should just continue to save up for the Kranzle 😂
I liked my Karcher. Did great for a long time. When the time comes swap it out. Thanks for sharing.
What is your reasoning for wanting kranzle over something like the ar630?
@@YuriTarded-hf1nv the ar630 from what I’ve heard is a great machine but if you watch several videos everyone recommends the Kranzle from a real world use case. When you get to $800+ for a power washer you start scrutinizing everything. For my use the Kranzle checks all the boxes.
@@atpgarageatl which videos are you referring to? There are a good number of sources that recommend the AR630 especially when you consider its higher output/performance and that it is a couple hundred dollars less.
I get all the Hawaiian vibes and passion for detailing in your videos brother! I'm new to the detailing world and would love to shoot a video with you one day. 🤙
Thanks buddy.
Man active did a really good job with this unit. First impressions is that it is stout and well built which it should be considering its new price.
Great review. My VE52 is still going strong. Once it kicks the bucket, the 2.3 seems like the logical and affordable upgrade. Aloha 🤘
Yeah I say with this 2.3 you get exactly what you pay for at this price point. It does what’s on the label and does it well. There are better but every single step toward better adds to the cost. Thats how you end up at Kranzle.
AR 630, if your budget takes a priority.
@@timkinley1779 ar630 costs more by a couple hundred bucks I think.
Just bought the 2.3 using your discount code 🤙
Awesome. Congrats. It’s going to work well for you.
One thing i like better about this over the Kranzle is the power button placement. It doesn't make a huge difference in your installation but it would in mine as I have to reach around to the back on the Kranzle to turn it on since mine is nestled in a corner.
Good point.
I like this setup Jeremy.. I'm still rocking my Karcher 1700 Cube, with McKillans shorty nozzle, uberflex 50' hose, Sanol foam cannon, 1:1 tip, 40* tip. OG quick disconnects, ADAM'S mega foam. I know my Karcher isn't anything near the Active, or the Kranzle, but in all honesty the Karcher 1700 has fit me perfectly and i have to thank you Jeremy for all the links and literature on you website and in your UA-cam description list. One day i will get an Active or Kranzle, but for now ive really been enjoying my Karcher, going on 5 months or so. Thanks again Jeremy, really appreciate your channel and honest opinion!
That’s great man. Super happy that you are digging your kit. Thanks for sharing
I'd upgrade the trigger first. The difference between the only two worth your money is the Mosmatic and OG MTM. The rest are really third-rate. I would rather have the better trigger, tips, fittings, hoses and cannon than the higher priced pump, if budget is a concern. Run that Cube until it craps out. But upgrade the stuff in the meantime.
@@timkinley1779 the og mtm? The m407? I’d say go with the sg28 over the m407
@@YuriTarded-hf1nvOG Mos and 28.
@@timkinley1779 oh, thought you said the og mtm from way back. The m407
Would you be willing to attempt to articulate what the user experience is like with this compared to the Kranzle? That is, beyond Kranzle being German made, proven track record, and fully rebuildable. It seems at the end of the gun with the garage door closed when using it, this would perform better since this is 2.3gpm and Kranzle is 1.9, but would love to hear if you can tell much difference. Is it just the "second kind of cool" intangible feelings with the Kranzle like one gets with a nice watch etc, or is it mostly because it's quieter?
Anyways, we all know why the Kranzle is expensive, just curious if you could say how the actual use is different and why you'll still be putting it back up on the wall?
Thanks for your hard work on all the free content you share!
J-man, should I upgrade my Active 2.0? I heard my Uberflex hose surges with 2.3, and doesn’t work well.. So might stick with Active 2.0, is 2.3 a lot lounger than 2.0??? Thoughts? Thx for the stress test!
Stay with what you have until it wears out. I would move up to something like this after. The uberflex does not work well with more sensitive pressure switches on the higher end PW's
Thanks for sharing!! Big question, at 2.3GPM will that be enough to replace the krenzle in your garage???? lol
No. Definitely not.
You don't replace a Kranzle. It is a one-time purchase.
Yup. I wish they would not include the hose and gun. Let the consumer puchase their own and S/S QDs as well.
Trying to track down a stainless shelf with brackets 16" on center from Amazon - any links?
Not on Amazon but here is a really nice one bit.ly/3RjWKjA
Did you notice the auto start/stop TSS system not working correctly with the 100ft 3/8 hose? With the stock hose mine would instantly turn on/off and moving to the wall mount would add a 2-3 second delay starting/stopping.
Most of the time surging is a cheap hose expanding under load. A lot of uberflex and similar non steel braided hose people complain about this. Usually a high quality hose eliminates this and is money well spent. If it’s happening with a great quality hose thats not good. I did not have any problems like that here with my rig. Hope that helps.
I have mine hooked up to a 100ft MTM hose and have zero issues.
@@HawaiiDetailing Yeah I heard about problems with Uberflex (non-steel braided). I'm using the OG 100ft setup, so a steel-braided high quality and running into some problems.
@@NyTonyF Nice, I am running the 100ft OG kobrajet so should be similar. You didn't notice any difference between the stock hose and switching?
@@maxs7976 No difference at all. You’re good to go Bro.
What do you think of the sound compared to the 2.0? Which sound do you prefer? I haven’t unboxed my 2.0 yet. I just don’t want it to be too loud.
The 2.0 is reasonable sounding. It does have the louder screechy sound typical from -$500 pressure washers. The 2.3 is louder than the higher end Kranzle but sounds way better than the typical electric PW. The 2.0 is light and more mobile but this 2.3 is a much more capable machine. Future repair and service is possible on the 2.3 also. I believe they are valued fair for either one of these machines. You want more you will pay more but I believe you are getting what you pay for. Hope that helps.
I’m shopping around for a pressure washer. I came across the active 2.0 and saw that a 2.3 was just released. Now I can’t decide. Is the 2.3 that much more better compared to the active 2.0? Is it worth the extra $300+?
Do you need an ultra portable option or do you plan to have it in place with a longer hose?If you are planning to move it all over the place the 2.3 is heavier. It is very moveable but a consideration. The 2.3 is a much better PW in every measurable way. It will last much longer and provide a much higher user experience. With the discount HAWAIIDETAILING you get 10% off of the 2.3 for a few more units. It all depends on your budget and needs. If you are not on a super tight budget and plan to put a longer hose and some quick disconnects you can put the 2.3 in a location where it will stay most of the time and extend the hose to use and wrap it up when done. When I say heavier its 45 lbs? That's no big deal for some and very heavy to others. Hope that helps
in your opinion is the Active 2.3 better then the Krenzle K1322 or out of these two beast Pressure washers is the Kranzle still the King ?
Still like the Kranzle better.
Very nice set up. I've noticed you've not got a spotless DI filtration system. I suspect you get soft water with low TDS?
My water is not great but very manageable. I do have plans to do a DI kit soon. I want to try a few options out and pick a good one.
@HawaiiDetailing Have you seen Matt Mormons set up on the OG channel? He's got similar set up to yours with a flow valve that you can change to allow water to pass through the DI filters for the rinse and flick the lever back for normal tap water for everything else. Oh and he's go a dual Kranzle set up for double the flow.....pretty jealous of that part. I'm using a Vyair DI set up with snap fittings. The next house will have Kranzle with DI bypass to select what water goes through the pressure washer. 👍
@@79blustoneWho do you think he gets this stuff from?
@@timkinley1779 The Internet. I don't know and or care. I do not have a crystal ball, or am I a rude yank for that matter. But thanks for the passive aggressive comment. 🥸
@@timkinley1779 Your mother?
What length jumper hose are you using with this setup?
3’
Do you have a video of your wash process?
ua-cam.com/video/lso8O7PxiTo/v-deo.html
www.hawaiidetailing.com/wash
So you mention it’s 15 amps, but you have it on a 20 amp circuit, Will it pop the breaker on a 15 amp circuit ?
If you set it up with the recommended orifice sizes it will not pop a 15. If you put smaller orifice sizes in the foam cannon it will.
You shouldnt push the pump past 15 amps even if your outlet can support it, active has said it can damage some components. So 1.45 orifice is needed for the foam cannon
Yes I know. I did it because I wanted
to test it. I also wrote on the screen do not do it or damage will occur. Every manufacturer says not to put small orifices in a foam cannon as this will cause prematurely failing machines. Any mod from OEM on any machine comes at a risk and sometimes no reward. Everyone wants to see it and in most cases will do it anyway so here we are. Thanks.
Was wondering if you were going to get one to try out.
Had to. Thanks.
@@HawaiiDetailing you going to try out their new short gun or foam cannon when its released?
great review, the only disappointing thing about the 2.3 is the noise, for 650 I was hoping for something a bit quieter. otherwise the performance looks great. Any chance you're going to be reviewing the big boi lineup?
Have you heard it for yourself? Don’t really know why there are so many people talking about how loud it is?
@@1thechosenjuan1there are videos online comparing operating noise levels using a decibel meter at different distances, you can compare those levels with your own machine or look at a chart. other competitors in this price range are quieter.
Its louder in comparison to a Kranzle. Its not any louder than the normal electric pressure washers on the market. My thoughts are that you should be using a 50' hose and this unit will be at least 20 feet away during use. When I did my test I found it to be way reasonable but since I own and regularly use a Kranzle it has to be noted as a difference. The video I did is the real life practical sound. I did not alter it in any way. As I walk around compare the sound of the water from the sprayer to the machine for a good reference. @25 feet i had to walk away from the camera because you could barely hear the machine over the water from the sprayer. With the door closed it was even harder to hear. Hope that helps with some of these noisy machine question. If you have serious noise constraints or have the money consider the Kranzle. www.hawaiidetailing.com/wallmountedpressurewasher
@@arisio7 it’s no louder than other pressure washers. Besides that the type of noise it produces isn’t nearly as bad as others that have the high pitched noise.
@@1thechosenjuan1 alright
Could you tell me where you bought or where I can buy or what to call the cup when you’re going to different ratios?
Here you go. www.hawaiidetailing.com/dillution
@@HawaiiDetailing you related to any Andy Watts in Calif. your so like him.
No.
Does it vibrate up there without the cage?
It has rubber feet. They do a pretty good job.
Do you happen to get any discount codes for buying a kranzle?
Unfortunately no. Sorry.
Best bet would be to wait for the Black Friday deals. Places like og and clean garage will usually have some type of Black Friday promo
Do you use the CR spotless
No I do not. Its a descent kit but I do not have one.
Can i store this in a shed in the hot summer?
Yes for sure. It’s a super cold winter that might be a problem without draining it completely
Would you say 4200 psi and 2.5 gpm would be too much water pressure for detailing? I just don't want to start blasting people's paint off their cars lol. Also @ 4:35, What's a good driveway/gutter solution to get rid of all the dirt, grime, and chemicals that you would recommend?
Yes it is too much. That pressure could damage surfaces for sure. Some would say stay back away far enough from the paint and it’s ok but that’s not practical long term. You want a working pressure that does not require special techniques to avoid damaging vehicles. Ultra high pressure has very little benefits detailing cars but a lot of possible consequences. Hope that helps.
@@HawaiiDetailing it helps a lot!! Thx man! Don't you Detail Jamie O'Brian vehicles too? You look really familiar, I swear I've seen you out surfing a few times.
@@FMB123 No I don’t detail Jamie’s cars. Not sure who does?
@@HawaiiDetailing Well you're the best and that would be cool if maybe one day you do. 😎👍Again, thanks for being so professional and helpful!
@@FMB123 thanks for watching the channel.
Looks nice. But just so darn loud. Fairly close to the AR675 in price but the AR is almost whisper quiet.
It’s not as bad as it may seem. After the cage came off it got quieter also. Not echoing off the metal. I found it to be very reasonable but still in comparison to the Kranzle it is louder. Thanks for watching
OG guy mentioned its loud also
@@AntLive29 others have also said it’s really not that bad
How loud is it?
It’s louder than a lot of PW’s at this quality level but nothing that I am that bummed about. In the vid is a real time walk through of the sounds at different distances. There comes a point where it doesn’t matter if you have the unit in a good spot with a reasonable length hose. If you want ultra quiet go Kranzle. I know it’s expensive but this is truly the definition of getting what you pay for. I dont believe you can have it all at this price point or someone would be making it already. I always say if you can afford it just get the best and you will never look back but everyone including myself loves the hope that some company will solve it all on a budget. Thanks for watching
Looks so much better with the cage imo
Too bad it comes with all those crap accessories that are just going to be thrown in the trash
I think it’s a requirement to sell with all the bits but I think they know you will need to upgrade. One good thing is I don’t think it adds much to the cost and you can pick what you want from there. There are so many options it would be hard to please everyone. From the base you can go high end or entry level good or a combo. I have a whole thought on that I have covered on my videos and my website. Thanks for sharing
Did you pay for this with your own money?
I’m surprised you didn’t copy Matt and pan ,by getting a duel krenzla power washer,thanks for choosing something different ha
I don’t think it’s necessary. I did not even know pan had a Kranzle wall mount. I thought he was a portable PW user. With that being said I am sure it works great. I operate my channel on a if it interests me I try it. If it’s good I film it. If it sucks or I don’t like it I don’t do either. Thats how I roll. If I have a bunch of cool interesting stuff I make more frequent videos. If there is nothing interesting I don’t. That way it’s always fun to make videos and hopefully keeps them more interesting to watch too. Thanks.
The one thing I never agreed on with Matt was the whole dual pw setup. Doesn’t make any sense to use a dual setup and really seems like such a waste of
Contrary to what others may think, Pan/Matt did not invent anything. That includes dual pressure washers. That concept has been around for decades. Heated/non-heated, electric/gas, etc. have been around a long time. Just because you saw it on UA-cam first … well, you know.
Obsessed Garage is not about necessaries as much as it’s about using the best you can get, regardless of cost. It’s about value and what that means to each individual.
😊😊😊
@@Reaper-Jim why do you think og is about using “the best”? He has said himself that it started with using what he likes (wasn’t necessarily the best) and now it’s more become about whatever products he’s decided to sell. In any case we are all aware that with most other things deciding what “the best” is will always be argued.
@@1thechosenjuan1I didn’t say “the best” I said “the best you can get” and then followed with “value for the individual”. OG carries cheap, mid-range and expensive products. Products that Matt demes worthy of his client’s attention. Consider my understanding of OG’s model as “the best value”, rather than “the best”. Sometimes value is cheap, sometimes it comes at a higher cost.
Next video concrete drive way cleaning 🧼😅
Good idea!
I wish it was 2.5-3.0 instead of 2.3 I’m just going to stick with the 2.0
On the “mounting solution” … couldn’t you add some rubbers and then screw it down to the shelf? I’d be afraid it would want to vibrate off the shelf. As for the noise, it pales in comparison to ANY gas powered unit. It’s not loud enough to piss off the neighbors. The price point is … meh. If it were under $500, it’d be a great option. I think it would also become the “go-to” for mobile detailers. If it were in the $350-$450 range, they’d sell them all.
It has rubber feet on it that are pretty thick and stable. I pressure washed my driveway for several hrs straight without releasing the trigger and it did not move at all. Pretty locked in with nothing but its own weight and the rubber feet holding it in place. I wanted to torture test it and it did run cool to the touch the whole time. I agree with your assessments. It’s coming in at 580 ish with the 10% off?? Now it’s time to put my Kranzle back in its spot.
@@HawaiiDetailingAre you talking about the cradle? If so, I understand. I would immediately remove the goofy cradle, though. If the unit itself has rubber feet, then that’s fantastic.
EDIT: aaaand no, nothing will ever replace my Kranzle.
The unit itself has rubber feet that insulted it from the cradle. The cradle has it own rubber feet. I find that the cradle also make the sound echo right in your face. It quieted down quite a bit after I took it off. The cradle would be good to protect it from getting bashed around in a truck bed or back of a mobile rig but it’s too heavy to be a true portable set up. I believe it should be fixed in place on a mobile rig or on a shelf. Lugging it around is not going to be fun. Maybe load it in morning and unload at the end of the day tops.
@@HawaiiDetailinghaha that actually helps a lot. Thank you.
Loud noise. for the active 2.3. I still love my bigboi pro with trplex pump.Commercial grade and the best quality even on any pro or consumer grade pressure washer. Its a kranzle and active killer. Triplex vs wobble pump.
It be better if it did not included any of the cheap accessories. Save the customer a few dollars since majority of those interested in the Active 2.3 would likely have or opt to get better accessories.
Cage and accessories should have been sold separately instead of all in one package. Not many people gonna need the cage. Plus that would drop the price in the machine itself and uave more sales
I agree. I am sure there is rules for how they have to present things to the public for safety but at least they made it easy to rip apart and kit out the way you want. On a positive note?
I understand that forged brass is more expensive but geez whoever made that sandcast for the pump head/manifold... ewww
ok now put the Kranzle back up there 😅 its way better
Hahaha. It’s going back up. I like to show different price point machines that produce good results because some people do not want to spend the big dough.
lol, they’re limited @ $650each? Um ok.😂
The discount that I can share is limited. I don’t know about their inventory. I am sure there are plenty.
Cage looks over sized
I recommend putting it straight on a shelf no cage.
First

This thing is WAY too loud. Over 80decibels. Hell naw.
Maybe if you’re keeping your head right next to it but in most cases you won’t be so it’ll be fine
