    Other than getting the hose connector turned around (watch out for that one), the machine is simple to put together and use ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP . And very nice, too. I'm surprised at the power-it's more than we'll ever need, and we've not even used the most powerful setting yet.I've cleaned off a dirty concrete porch to get it ready for sealing, started to clean siding, and I know this pressure washer will be terrific for cleaning tools this fall.The only issue we had is we had turned around the hose connector, and it leaked. Once it was on correctly, though, we had no problems with the connection. Just remember that the end with the green knob goes towards the hose. It's obvious now what we did wrong, but not necessarily obvious at the time.

    I didn’t even realize I needed a pressure washer until UA-cam recommended one of your videos. From watching your reviews, I’ve purchased the Active and now I am trying to pick a foam cannon to upgrade my system. I’ve started pressure washing everything around my home. I think the dogs are worried that they are next. 😀

      I have done the exact same lol, just ordered the Cat version of the Active pressure washer, same exact item just Active was sold out. Will be getting either MTM PF22 foam cannon or the Griots foam cannon to finish it off to start washing my car better!

    Because of your review I got your exact setup today. The pressure washer, gun, foam cannon and orifice. It will be here next week. The only thing I didn’t get was the hose and swivel disconnect. Can’t wait to use it in the spring. Thanks for making my purchase easy and affordable.

    These reviews are a game changer. I'm from St.Kitts so if I were to buy this product it would cost $20 for shipping then I would have to pay customs $32 for duty and tax. Having these reviews takes the guessing out of ordering.

    14:31 If I turn off the water to my Nilfisk Compact 125.7 (danish brand, 1800 PSI), it will dry-run the compressor, trying to build up pressure. So it neads to be turned off when there is no water going to it.
    If it just cycles like yours, it just means that it's lost a tiny bit of pressure, and is getting it back to full.
    The wand that it came with (Nilfisk G2) got an internal failure and leaked, which meant that the compressor could't build enough pressure, and the compressor would stay on, even when the wand wasn't being used.
    I have since then upgraded to a G4 wand for the proprietary Nilfisk attachments (turbo nozzle, patio cleaner, etc.) and a PWP grip with 1/4" QC and a AutoGlanz Snow Storm foam cannon (looks like it's identical to the MJJC Pro. Rebranded maybe?). The Snow Storm just had it's nozzle swapped for the 1.1mm (included in the package), but I haven't tested it out yet.

    Hey Josh. Thanks for the videos, great content. I use you videos to research my product purchases for detailing. Did have a question about the Twinkle Star/Amazon foam gun, and filling the container with soap for washes. I am using Mr Pink soap and was curious as to approximately how much product (1-2 ounces is what is recommended on packing) do you add in the container? Is there a science to using the Mr PInk soap? Do you use warm/hot/cold water, does container need to have any water, do you add water first then soap and mix, etc? I switched out the orifice for the canon but want to be sure I am not missing something when setting up for cleaning. I have the dial turned down for max foam but it still seems to be quite a bit runny. any help or suggestions you could pass along would be appreciated.😅
