Have had my AVA P60 for over 3 years now. Washing car 2 times a week + other outdoor jobs. It has never failed. Had a little leak in the pistol tube 4 weeks ago. Bought a replacement tube online for 3$ on the AVA site. Fixed it in 2 min. I’m Norwegian so I’m a little supportive to local brands, but this machine is way better than my previous Kaercher that killed it self after a short time.
Nice review John.
For people complaining about this being a paid promotion, I have a P60 Master that I paid for in full and agree with what John is saying about these washers.
Great build, great warranty, great performance. By far the best pressure washer I have ever owned. Not even close.
Please read what I’ve just posted on this upload
As a customer because of johns channel I’m fuming
@@superk6487 I'm not searching through all the comments to read your complaint about something that has nothing to do with me.
@@fordyford At least you got back to me 😞 I’ve got to wait 14 days for Ava to answer my email 🤷♂️
How long have you had it ? Good luck with a warranty if they are bought out and name changes. Not answering emails isn’t a great sign of a great warranty is it ?
I have the smart p60 and it's absolutely fantastic bit of kit made to last and the power is insane
I've had P80 master for the last 8 months, best washer I've ever had... Had nilfisk and karcher before. These ARE better quality machines. Feels sturdy and have loads of metal internals. Heavy and well built...well worth £400...buy cheap, buy twice..
I bought the P55Go when you linked it a couple of weeks ago, really great little machine. The hose is great, and it's plenty powerful for a tiddler. The foam cannon isn't the best though, goes through product at a ridiculous rate, but my stubby gun goes straight on, so no real issues. Well worth the money.
I agree, foam cannon not too great. How much did you pick yours up for?
@@isbath Think it was £170 or something, with a load of accessories.
There's a Pro version of the foam cannon - uses about 10x less product per minute. £29.90.
@@Wellspicedchaffinch Saw the review, I've just got hold of an Mtm gun and lance so don't need it, but it looks good. 🙂
I bought the P80 Evo back in the summer - VERY please with it! I'm spending considerably less time actually touching the vehicle and just using water to do what is required (Bilt Hamber Touchless and their Touch on product) The results have been just what I was looking for. The hand 'gun' with the ajustable spray pattern really helps to clean off muck especially around the wheels where the worst of the grime accumulates. Haven't found anything I don't like yet, I'd recommend it 😁😁👍
Hi which pressure washer did you have before the p80 I wauld like one but have a p60 with all the tools so I'm not sure if it's worth the expense
Bought this from your short recommendation the other week and finally used it today so far I'm impressed.
You realise he’s being paid to recommend them?
@@jamesstanley7263 I was already considering upgrading my old unit and wanted to move away from Karcher. If it wasn't for the deal, I would have carried on slowly looking around.
@@jamesstanley7263Just bought a smart P50, and its on a New level. Had several Karcher but smart P50 has mutch better quality and good soulutions. And 10 years warranty
just ordered the AVA P70 evolution coming from a karcher k2 which died after 2 years of very light use wont be buying karcher again they might have to step up there game
every ones gonna want AVA after this vid great video john
Love the sound of this company, lots of initiative and trying to help the consumer rather than selling them the same old same old. Love that bucket, bloody genius. Paul Dolden did a great review on this brand as well. I'm sorted as I invested in a karcher k7 compact two years ago and I'm absolutely delighted with it 👌fantastic video Jon 🤙
Absolutely brilliant pressure washer. I’ve had numerous “yellow” ones in the past, even their high-end models, and been really let down with plastic internals that self-destruct way before they should do in a domestic setting. Always beyond economic repair despite having spent hundreds of pounds to purchase. Even their more expensive “anti-kink’ hoses still kink - not good enough for the price. I have the Ava Evolution and won’t be going “yellow’ ever again. Just a quick word of caution, the top of the range large Avas do put out a lot of pressure. Don’t use auto-stop hose connectors as they will damage the washer and always pull the gun trigger when switching the washer on to avoid a blown fuse in the UK.
Can I ask what the auto stop hose connectors are, you mention? Was building up to buy a Kranzle and stumbled across an Ava review which has captured my interest, plus they are noticeably cheaper but did read about the fuse blowing.
Are you impressed with the quality and do you use a snow foam adaptor? Cheers
@@shakeysteventon4197 I can’t fault the quality but, my P70 Evolution is a very weighty beast. I’ve contacted Ava customer support about the fuse blowing issue I had read about, even though mine hadn’t. I was told to pull the gun trigger when switching the machine on and have never had a blown fuse. I was having my extension reel tripping out so I made my own extension out of some meaty gauge cable advised from a local electrical supplier and no further issues. Auto-stop hose connectors are those push-fit connectors like Hoselock that stop the flow of water if you separate the connector. Apparently, this is not good for the machine. I just turn the tap off at the wall before disconnecting anything. A really very well thought out machine in my opinion. Only real issue was the supplied snow foam bottle which went through product like it was going out of fashion. I just use my Autoglym one instead. I’ve heard that Ava can now supply a more pro version of the cannon that has likely fixed the issue with my version.
@@gizmo6164 thanks for the helpful reply, I think you have persuaded me to buy one, as mentioned I was thinking about a Kranzle but the cost is so much more and if AVA provide a genuine 10-20 year warranty it must be a good product, I will also go for the snow cannon you suggested. Thanks again
loved the video! got myself the p55 that you put up on the black friday sale, havent got round to using it but deffo looking forward to it
Was wondering, would you be able to do a video about how to maintain your detailing equipment and how to store it away especially during the winter e.g draining pressure washer, hoses etc and putting them away to avoid them freezing up and basically any other equipment that will get effected by the winter temperatures
Nice overviewing video John. I’m have p80 and I have MTM PF 22.2 canon. To get them work properly you need to change the nozzle tips to 1,4 mm. Then it works perfectly
I was wondering about interchangeable parts. You answered perfectly. Thanks.👍
Been using a Master Series one for a long time now and I wouldn't use anything else now, love it. Great quality and good customer service when I had a question or needed a part. These are the best all round machines I've ever used and make the job more enjoyable.
I've run a Karcher K785 for the past 20 years, and it's a hell of a hard act to follow, but that P80 has me thinking. Thanks again Jon.
Karcher attachments fit onto AVA it's the same bayonet fitting just have to watch with the master series up that run higher pressures, AVA own attachment are colour coded for the higher/lower pressure
They are great washers and better made and cheaper then it’s competition, love mine
Hi I've had the P80 just over a year now, found it generally very good, more than happy with it, though have to admit some issues, had to get a new bottle as the plastic thread striped, love the hose big, upgrade for me, but it does kink, but a really well put together machine.
Absolutely love AVA machines - very much wedded to my *_Easy P57._* 🖤
I bought the Go P55 in the summer. I had bought a Karcher K5 compact to replace a K4 full control which didn’t make it to 4 years old. The thing I hate about the Karcher is the awful plastic power hose which kinks all the time and the trigger gun. It performs well and if it must be a yellow machine the K5 is not a bad machine. The K5 has been put away and retired as the Ava is so much better for the car. I wanted something portable as I no longer have a garage on my driveway having moved house and have to cart it through the house. I would have bought a master P80 otherwise and blown my budget. Despite its diminutive size the P 55 is more than a match for the K5 with very similar performance specs. The Ava nozzles, extendable lance and professional quality hose make it stand out and in action is far better. It is also quieter than the Karcher. If you want convinced go watch the epic car show detailing review of the P55, k5 compact and Nilfisk Core 140. Three very good machines but the Ava won this test.
I’ve had a P55 Go since March, had no issues with it. It was missing the filter from the inlet, which Ava sent out straight away. Also refunded me 10% as it went on sale a few weeks later for Easter.
Went with the P55 Go as I wanted something static and connected a 25m pressure reel. Worst part of cleaning is setting up and packing up. Dragging out the pressure washer and hose etc.
After 3 failed Karchers last one being a K5 had enough of “German engineering” along with BMW and their snapping timing chains, and Merc gearboxes exploding. I wasn’t going to buy a 4th Karcher.
Nothing to lose even if it lasts the minimum 5 year warranty it will have lasted longer than a Karcher.
Gotta say Jon my Ava Smart P60 blows my Nilfisk out the water and it has a great back up service plan and 10 year warranty nice video 🙌🏻
😂😂. Love the intro Jon. You always crack me up man.👍
This is a really great video and has helped me decide which machine to go for.
Been waiting for this since I bought a p55 go on black Friday
I hope they offer these in the USA someday! They look like pretty awesome machines, especially with the "bundle" options, the clever features they offer and on-board attachments.
AVA should really look at bringing all those machines to the US market. That would be a HUGE market for AVA and I am pretty sure if they got into any of the big box stores here they would do exceptionally well! But even with just on-line sales and the right marketing, they would have a huge opportunity over here in the USA and even the Canadian market.
I Just bought a smart P50 and i am very suprised over how good it is.
Very cool review. Im actually from Norway and Im glad I found your valuable review. Thanks
i just got a k4 after my titan screwfix crap failed again i didn't pay for the k4 as the titan was under warranty can't fault screwfix for their warranty service but when the k4 fails this is the kit i will get they even put a 20 year warranty on these better than the k4 nice video John
Just bought a P55 on your recommendation very happy with it
I bought a master P60 in the first lockdown. Way better than any other domestic pressure washer I've had before. Other than a fuse, not needed anything, whereas some karcher products I've had in the past have had to go back they were so unreliable. Excellent company ethos in making things to last instead of being thrown in the bin IMO.
I have used industrial spec machines in the past and its not fare to compare that type of equipment to domestic, for the price on the master it blows anything else away.
Nice presentation but skimped on one of the most important features (at least for me). One of the biggest issues with pressure washers is the cable management. Yes they have reels for the hose and you say there is cable reel on the high end model but didn't really show it in action.
I personally would like to see the reels operated in more detail in various scenarios and the connections shown before I purchase one.
I have the P80 master series large set and the P55 GO limited edition. Both of them kick my older Karcher out the door, in both build quility and pressure/flow. The foam gun is the only thing about them I don't like, empties too fast and thinner foam than my MJC Pro Foam gun.
An added bonus is that every Karcher piece fits and can be used.
The only problem with Ava is the after care they are very polite and helpful on the phone but never get back to you you have to literally hound every day the warranty is only for the motor please be aware. I have owned my p80 evo for a year and it started to have problems so Ava picked it up and the machine got lost and they told me that they had no more p80.'s due to fuse issues. The main problem with Ava is the amount of time that is needed to resolve an issue plus there is no complaints department or any escalation process my advice is do not buy direct from Ava Norway like I did buy from a UK outlet so that way you are covered by our consumers laws
They look good and the prices are very competitive, I'll definitely look at them when I'm in the market for a new one
Great coverage of AVA as always with your videos. One of things I might missed (watched twice now) and being pretty new to car detailing as hobbyist, whats the most PSI you use when washing car with pressure washer, whats to high? Whats best psi if investing for few years?
I was tempted to buy the p80 earlier this year but not many retailer was selling them plus not many people reviewing them so ended up going for nilfisk 180 610litres ph and really happy with it , if I didn't already have a short trigger and mjjc pro v2 I prob would of gone for the ava but good machine for somone who doesn't have the upgrades
I bought an Ava go it is great however the foam cannon is rubbish and it broke on first use. The plus is they sent me a next foam cannon and a free mop within 48hours. I’m now having an issue with the system loosing pressure and the pump stays on. However it feels better quality they anything else. Customer service is great so I’m not to worried.
I purchased a P60 Master during the Covid lockdown period after the K4 finally died . I took a long time deciding on which manufacturer , going through the usual Karcher ,, Nilfisk , Kranzle and even Sthil options ...Came across AVA on a motoring forum and after reading several reviews took the plunge .
After the order had arrived i was initially disappointed as the P60 had come straight from they UK warehouse and had been heavily damaged in transit . An email to the customer services soon had a replacement on route to me which arrived 2 days after the initial contact . I should add that it was a courier and not AVA that had caused the damage .
I ordered the extra 10 metre hose to give me a total of 18 metres , which some may think excessive , but as I can't always rely on parking exactly outside my property solves the problem .
The P60 has been faultless from day 1 of the replacement machine being recieved , and exceeded my expectations . The only negative with the P60 is the lack of electrical cable storage , a small oversight by AVA , but one i can live with .
A note to potential buyers of any machine above the P60 master model . As they are high power machines , i had seen several references to the requirement for a 16 amp power supply . Several owners had reported that attempting to run tham on a 13 amp supply , especially if any other appliance was on the same circuit that drew an average amout of current would cause the pressure washer to cut out . Please note that this something that i haven't experienced myself and found on line , so may or may not be correct .
I have a P60, and a p30, dont know it that is sold anymore, it looks like the small ava go. I am verry happy with this pressure washer, have had it for 3 years now, and only thing i have changed is a o ring which was broken.
I have the P80 , worth every penny👌
Thanks for another informative video Jon. Given the comments over whether it was or wasn’t a paid promotion, then for your sake it may be worth just clarifying it and put the issue to bed. Looking forward to the next one ….keep ‘em coming please. Cheers.
I have the p80 evolution and just a word of warning to anyone whose thinking about buying this, the fuse blows A LOT! Was on a job and fuse blew 4 times absolute nightmare! Fuse has also blew on me several times when using it at home, It’s a known issue with these pressure washers unfortunately. Great machine tho and highly recommend getting the SGS35 stubby gun for it as the foam cannon that comes with the washer is decent but absolutely drains the liquid very quickly
Yeah needs 13 amp read my comment about how I've upgraded connections
I’ve had the p60 smart machine for nearly 12 months now and absolutely love it! Attached the mjjc snow cannon to it as well as a quick release stubby gun 👍🏻
I was going to comment about how thin the foam was with the default foam cannon and ask if it could be changed to an MJJC. You answered my question. Thanks.👍
@@imdeplorable2241 just make sure you get the correct fitting mate
@@robtallentire1051 Will do, sir. Thanks.👍
Hi John good to see you reviewing ava I have a p60 master had it now for two years it's faultless I have changed the connections to quick release on the hose and gun and lance so I'm not limited to just the Ava tools not saying there tools are not good quite the opposite but I found it really hard changing the lance just struggling to disconnect the hose out of the lance the double sided pin just was to hard to release the quick release connections solved it
yer i do the same m8, I had a SGS35 and wanted to use it.
@@ForensicDetailing yes I bought the sg on your review quick release was all the Ava needed to be a all round winner
Read your comment and after some advice regarding the Ava machine and attachments. This will be my first decent machine, was saving for a Kranzle but these look good machines and wondered what guns, snow foam attachments and fittings you would recommend.
There is a massive problem with the P80 series, they have actually stopped selling them due to fuse blowing issues mine has been replaced and repaired 3 times, they are now offering a 70 instead
That's because they're designed with a 16a fuse in mind, which our 13a plugssockets/cables can't handle, unfortunately... 🥴
@@221b-Maker-Street has this been changed? How likely are they to blow fuses, if used correctly, trigger in when switching on etc
Hi John, geeky details here.
I’m currently testing the P70 Evo and P55 just arrived
And it’s snowing here up in sunny Oxfordshire
Can’t wait to explore further
Jon i just ordered the Master P70 on Friday im so looking forward to using it as my very old Karcher K2 has died a death lol. These AVA machines look to be really good so must get a few additions that can be got for it.
From a K2 to a Master P70. That’s a huge upgrade. Enjoy the Ava.
@@alangodsman338 Thanks Alan
Good video, machine looks great. I have foam Lance with Karcher adapter, can it be connected to the ava gun. Thanks
Jon are you the secret owner of Fresh Layers? they seem top notch
Some other UA-camr already had to send his back for repair, issue with the head. So its doubtful reliability is any better than the yellow ones. I have a Nilfisk P150.2 had it 4 years now, been 100% reliable.
Hahah great intro Jon, your videos are getting even better these days, loved this one and they look like serious bits of kit.
Might have to trade my Karcher K4 in for one !
just ordered a Easy P50 on sale at £189. cannot find a review of it anywhere but can for the P40 which seems a good bit of kit. not quite the P57 one though but for that price seemed a bargin.
Just ordered the bucket, exactly the design I needed. Great design from a company who understands the process.
What fitting is needed for after market stubby gun as want to upgrade the go p55 stubby as it keeps leaking.
I have the P60 it's a great bit of kit no other company offers a 20yr warranty
Hmmm.. so how does it compare to your Karcher k7 John? Personally as a pro detailer of many years standing i wouldn't be without my Kranzle 7/122 which just simply keeps on going in a mobile pro environment. I've yet to find anything to touch it for portability, performance and reliability. We all have our favourite tools tho i guess. I know one detailer who got 4 years out of a Karcher k4! (tho he was not mobile). Trouble is I guess you cant really do a group test due to the expense... Unless the manufacturers will put the goods up? Great channel btw John, you have inspired many purchases!
I own one… great product, way stronger and built quality is better then your average Karcher or Nilfisk
these are impressive bits of kit, love the bucket, thats what happens when an engineer designs a bucket lol. id love a new pressure washer as using my dads atm, these could be worth saving up for.
Hi John, great informative and entertaining video as always. Not sure if you've covered this but are there any foam lances that are compatible with the AVA Pressure washers? I've a P55 on order, thanks
They sell a better one than the one that comes with it, but you can get convertors to all formats
Look pretty good . So if AVA sent you all those models what are you doing g with them?
If you want to get rid of the Smart version …. Let me know
Nice describe video BTW
Hi mate, nice well explained video. You mentioned that the unit blows a fuse if to much back pressure, is this something that can be replaced by the end user and do you know what type of fuse it is?
yer the fuse is in the plus socket mate.
I loved the intro.
My mind has been blown how this company as thought about their product and customer!
Can't believe this I was researching this last night as I need to buy a pressure washer for the first time from going from a regular hosepipe
Honestly it’s a great purchase if you like to look after your car and I can’t live without one
@@M.E63 definitely a purchase for next year
@@jamiejack764 try looking Boxing Day sales
@@M.E63 will do mate
Been saying for the last two years I will buy one of these when my Nilfisk dies, it been playing up but keeps on soldering on.
How do you know their built to last, they’ve only been out a few years ? How do you have a 10 year warranty when they don’t reply to emails and have no phone contact number ?
because they have a 10-20 year warrenty. Because the warrenty comes with the item.
@@ForensicDetailing A 10-20 year warranty isn’t ‘built to last’ it’s a warranty. So you think they’ll still be around in 20 years ? 😂 Ava are paying to get these promoted, did they help you out in any way ?
More importantly , what paint inspection light do u use John I can’t make up my mind what type to get , the Sealey one looks handy for the pocket but maybe crap , those washers are ok for weekend warriors but for everyday stuff u need an inter pump or an Italian lump
I use a sealey LED360 mate and a flex work shop cordless light
Any chance you could review the newer Easy P57?
I want to use a mjjc foam cannon with my ava gun, which adapter /version do I need?
Is it possible to decrease and increase the power? For example, to rinse the contours of doors or the trunk.
Thank you for this very professional product presentation :p
No m8
Great video. Do these units self prime and can they draw from standing water eg from a water drum?
I'm not 100 percent sure Ill fund out
They look like a karcher fitting, have you tested a nilfisk p180 if so which would you have?
I have a P55 but the gun leaked and so brought another small gun. Apart from that its not a bad bit of kit. Had mine for about 7 months now.
Mine leaked after little use, ava sent me a replacement which is also leaking after little use. Bought their pressure stubby which seems okay, interesting ava dropping the one we have....
I am thinking about buying a pressure washer for detailing, what power and pressure should the washer have and is the p55 good enough, strong enough or maybe I should think about the p60. Is the water pump in p55 and p60 the same v4? Can p55 draw water from the tank not only from the water network? Maybe karcher K5, I'd love to read your opinions. Thanks guys
What type of car is a Patio ? Is it similar to a Porch ? ;-)
This guuuuuuuuuuuuuuy
Lol
Will the small portable one work fine for washing the car?.
I don't need all the bells and whistles, just a baseline model that can remove soap and crud without me having to stand with the nozzle right up against the car paint from low pressure etc.
Get the new p57 easy m8
Interesting stuff. What connector do they use Karcher/Nilfisk? Can I use my MJJC foam cannon on them?
I would also like to know this, having just got the Ava GO P55 bundle. I want to get MJJC foam cannon, I think with Karcher attachment as it looks like it should fit.
Did you manage to find out whether this will work?
In this day and age built to last... that's a really good ethos, good luck to them and your video shows their thinking of use..
How do they compare to a Kranzle? I would like to know your thoughts..
Wonder how the AVA pressure washers compare to the new Big Boi pressure washers?
Great Q. Been wondering the same. I'm looking closely at the BigBoi PRO but require it to be moved when I need to use it (semi portable) and would like built-in hose reel for ease of everything. There is a trolly to go with it but the trolly is very new to market, very expensive, and has no reviews yet. It's bothering me that I can't see any video reviews of the BB PRO online. Well, I found one in Danish but no subtitles so pretty useless to me! 🤷🏼♀
Can you show us using the mtm guns on the P60 models? Or will it just blow the fuse? How do you replace/ reset the fuse?
done a seperate video on this mate. I use SGS35 gun on mine and I dont have any problems. So should be same for MTM.
I have a Autoglym polar blaster but unsure if it will fit onto the Ava ?
These machines have really cool designs and they seem high quality, how difficult would these be to use standard quick disconnects and MTM accessories?
Not difficult m8 I will do video on this
@@ForensicDetailing thank you sir!
I’ve got a quick connect for mine. Just Google it as there a couple of companies that supply them
@@ForensicDetailing would love a video of this! Thank you!
Never heard of AVA before I watched this review on them , I would be interested to see the comparison between the flag ship Karcher K7 premium Smart Control and Ava Evo top of the range pressure washer as after viewing the Ava product range some of their products compatible with the Karcher brand. Great review best regards
They honestly make Kārcher look like amateurs, tbh. Love my 'Easy P57'.
Would you sell your Karcher K7 and get one of these??
Only thing I say with karcher say k7 u get 180 bar as u know John compared to the Ava of there top of there range. But they do look nice quality and good ideas
the k7 karcher full control has been really good. solid so far loads of grunt and it specs up well against the P80. only had one problem with OEM gun the little plastic bit comes out but I used stubby with itK7 seems like a really good machine. But for me the P55 ava deal at 149 quid for the bundle outperforms the k2 k4 and squares up to the K5. I think the little P55 is the little gem in the range for car cleaning. You would want more grunt if you have a larger patios.
@@ForensicDetailing thank John 👍
Hi new to your channel, could you please tell me what the side light pannels are in your detailing space please and where to get them? Thanks.
Im not sure mate this is the freshlayers studio not mine ill try and ask
Absolutely sold the product to me. It is a shame there is no affiliated discount code though.
When are they coming to the US?
I do appreciate everyone has different budgets but if you can, buy a Kranzle, Germany engineering at its finest.
Or a used Kranzle. Service / refurb 🙂
Can you use an auto glym snow foam cannon on these pressure washers?
UNFORTUNATELY ava is not sold here in north American , though i only use kranzle units, would put the ava at the same level as big boi units
im not sure mate ive not used big boi but its like a karcher competitor, aimed for the guy at home I think.
P80 220v must have a 16A fuse in Norway
so there's also something you have to watch out for,
The P70 runs on 10A
A slow blow 13amp fuse should protect you from initial start up stress from this machine - once it's running the demand drops enough to run on 13amp
@@toeknee2u yes, in normal use, but do you have a real foam cannon, and not the soapy foam that comes with it. then you must have 16a because it takes a little more power when it is working
@@Erik.Troeen I do indeed have a MJJC foam cannon and it works perfectly with this setup
I have a major dilema. I have a 2 year old Kärcher K5 but these Ava products are so much of a step up from my pressure washer. Need a think, but I'm very impressed with the showcase.
Bigdude. I had a Karcher can't remember the model, but K5 rings a bell, so may have had that one as well. Hated it, not designed for car detailing, noisy as hell, short hose, heavy, more of a garden jet washer. Try the BigBoi WASHR FLO pressure washer (UK distributor is Ultimate Finish). Absolutely love it. Got it with the 15 m hose, what a godsend, no more dragging the jet wash around the car, a lot quieter, seems more powerful, love the 4 nozzles, quick release connector, bought a new stubby gun for it, haven't tried it yet, too god-damn cold now. Highly recommend it. Ideal for home car detailers. Think it's a lot cheaper than the AVA's, but you need to check the prices on that. I feel the AVA's are more for pro detailers, using it daily, than your weekend detailer. Even Paul Dolden loved it. And he rightly stated it was between amateur to pro. You might save a bit of money that you can spend on other car detailing stuff, if you went for the Bigboi. But I'm glad we have a great choice of good products to choose from.
When your Karcher dies, then replace it. I went with a P55 go and a 25m reel for a static setup.
It was try an Ava for me or buy my 4th Karcher which would fail in 2-4 years
@@theflash4956 Sounds like a sales pitch for that WASHR FLO 😂😂I'll stick with my Kärcher for now until it dies and when it does I'll do my research.
Nilfisk...
My Ava P60 died after 2 weeks of use, washed around 7 cars. Not impressed at all. Ava has had it now for 4 weeks to repair.....
You can get the odd bad machine like anywhere ma man.
Having an issue here with my extendable lance seems like the spring is stuck in side can’t get anything to lock into place raised 3 cases so far no response I have the flexi lance as well which works perfectly but the connector inside this one seems to be made off steel
Any advice JON

I'm getting very strong 'Carry On' vibes from this comment thus far... 😂🏆
I’d want to swap the connections to quick release.
Look really cool, but I'm just not a fan of upright pressure washers. I much prefer to have mine mounted on a wall shelf.
How much pressure is too much for washing cars? I've seen people destroy their paint using washers at work designed for cleaning military vehicles, and stone chips are also an issue. Too much pressure can make them much bigger than they started out. This would make an interesting video, for me anyway :)
Good question you can always back up more but beyond 150 you need to be mindfull
My ava go p55, will continually pulse when I'd try to use it. 🤷🏻♂️
are you using stock nozzles? does it pulse with snow foam lance on it? is it stock lance etc.. pulsing is normally excess back pressure caused by none standard equipment not allowing the throughput required. also make sure you are feeding enough water into the machine (about 10-12 litres per minute should be fine)
@@ForensicDetailing thanks, it would pulse intermittently with the stubby gun and continually with the extended Lance on. I brought a cheap stubby gun and used it once and seems to work ok. 🤞🏻
How do these compare to the new active 2.0? The specs say the ava would be better but a lot of people have proven that pressure washer companies tend to lie a lot or stretch the truth. I kind of find it hard to believe that top of the line one is making the specs it's claiming unless it's running on more then 15amps at 120v like most other pressure washers have to be able to do in the USA, seeing as your in the UK I am not sure if that is the same there. I know the only way active supposedly was able to get above 2gpm at 1800psi (by comparison the ava top machine specs of 160bar at 600lph is well above 2gpm and at above 2200psi) was to engineer their own unique 5 piston pump systems that could make the most efficient brushless machine motors even more efficient and I've heard that most of the other brands use all the same pumps and are generally all made by the same manufacturers and either assembled elsewhere or stickered differently. I'm not a pro on the subject so I'm not certain how true all this is but I'm currently doing my research so when it's time to get a new washer I know what to get. Currently that is looking like the active 2.0 since it seems to be the best bang for the buck in terms of specs and reliability.
the P55 kicks out 155 bar and 550 LHR I think. They were doing a deal where you could get this for £155 with some huge bundle of accessories as well and extention arms. In terms of going beyond this Im not sure you need to really but higher flow rate does feel good. I still think anything domestic will struggle to beat that karcher K7 I got for 350 quid. That machine is an animal. But AVA are doing lots of things karcher are not espcially with hose and pump quality and warrenty duration. I dont know anything about the active 2.0 other than it looks like a cool compact machine as well.
Are you recommending one of these over the equivalent karcher
100% yes. I have an AVA - poles apart.
Is the little go machine good
