Once again another fantastic and informative video Dave
Thanks Mark
I purchased this machine based on your recommendation and absolutely love it ❤️
Amazing yeah this is a brilliant machine
me too :)
Great informative video Dave. Top job mate. 👍
Thanks Karl
Great timing mate. I literally bought one off Amazon a couple of hours ago!
Nice I'm really pleased with mine
Nice one Dave, good to see your update on the Ava pressure washer. I've got to do a long term review as well at some point and share my thoughts on it 👍
Cheers mate
Great video yet again, i'm still using the karcher k2 have had its for the last 8 years still going well but think i need a upgrade, i'm liking the easy p57, you mention the flexi hose being diff to the older models how do the older model hoses differ in the cold/heat? Also you mention another model coming out should i wait for that one to come out?
Had a P55 Go and P60 Evolution for over a year and both work great. I’ve had issues with the stubby gun and extendable lance developing a leak before the nozzle. Ava replaced the gun without any issues but the lance has only just developed the leak and I’ve not contacted them yet. That said I’m still a fan of Ava. Great video 👍🏼
Thanks David, yeah chase them up. The warranty should cover that
Great vlog as always Dave, I’m more of a Kranzle man myself, but this is great for the price if you are on a budget, hope you are keeping well, kind regards to you, Mark from Billericay 😀👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks Mark 🙏
Hi Mate, love your videos. I was wondering, do you recommend any after market hoses for karchers? The stock one is very tough to manoeuvre around the car. Thanks
That was a great video Dave interesting looking pressure washer. I like the Quick Change nozzles they looked like they'd be extremely convenient. I didn't really like the small canister however I guess I'm not a professional so that might work out. I'm looking to go electric this season so the timing was perfect.
Thanks so much for these videos they're always interesting.
Cheers Jim from Canada 🇨🇦
The foam cannon is good enough for one car so weekend cleaning it's brilliant
Nice informative video David.Well done .👍🍺
Cheers Dad
I hope your impressions are good, mine just arrived yesterday, couldn't try it out so far its raining ever since :D
Yes it's my go to machine
Which foam product do you recommend to along with my new P57 purchase (thanks to you)
Infinity wax power foam is a powerhouse
Thanks Dave great machine
blown fuse has happened to me a couple of times on my evo70, everything else has been great
Ava is available Dave in Australia but it's super expensive and there's only three pressure washers available from the large range that Ava does. My Karcher blew a hose and a replacement hose was more expensive than the pressure washer. So I bought a Gerni 7300 only available in Australia but very similar to a Husqvana but significantly more powerful than a Karcher K2. I got multiple nozzles from variable to standard wide spray and turbo which has the ball bearing inside it. Also a brush attachment (handy for house windows) and the surface cleaner with two different nozzle heads standard and hammer. It too comes with a 12m reinforced hose and has an aluminium pump. It has an inlet water filter and a little pin device if the ball bearing in the turbo nozzle stops jiggling about. There's even a place on the machine to put that pin device so it doesn't get lost. A 20M reinforced hose is available to purchase as is a special 15m drain hose for clearing blocked drains. Extra lance lengths can also be bought for cleaning higher places around the house. Price for the pressure washer as it comes without the extras about 320 pounds with 2,320psi pressure at 8L/min flow. There's no onboard detergent tank nor can detergent be sucked into the pressure washer via a thin plastic tube. It also can't be used with potable water and is a mains water pressure washer only and it's also heavy at 22kg. Because it has an aluminium pump it can be run dry without water and in fact the operations manual says to run the pump dry to clear excess water from the hose. Unlike the Karcher which made enough noise to wake the dead this one is extremely quiet in operation and comes with a 7 year warranty.
Go for the P60 smart, steelflex hose (8m) included and a bit bulkier, but a very nice machine with zero gun included.
pros and cons to both
Ive got a P60 Evolution its brilliant , no problems at all
Nice that's good to hear 👌
Ava go iv got its good as big daddys
I'd love to get into the AvA eco system. They look amazing and my old karcher has about had it. Family life stops me from spoiling myself lol.
I know the feeling
Hi Dave,
Just been looking at their website and noticed about half their models are out of stock, spares are even worse - most are out of stock! What is going on???Anything potential or existing purchasers ned to be worried about?
Evening David, hopefully AVA will eventually get some stock to sell. By the way, was you and cousin high when you bought a mini lol ? Keep it up mate
They have more in stock at the moment. They have newer upgrades in some of the machines. As for the mini yeah it's bad
Can't wait for this to finally come to Australia. Seems like I've been waiting ages and still no word from the local distributor :(
They are called Masport pressure washers over there I believe. Give it a few more months and im sure the p57 will be there. Ill see if I can find out
I just wash my filter and from the machine come out small filter ?do you know how to put back it ?
I have had mine for about the same sort of time and I echo what you say here 100%
Cheers mate. They have just updated the model, newer parts now and the return rate on these is non existent so I'm hopeful they will have a bright future
Enjoying your videos, is there a discount code for the EVa p57? Thanks.
Thank you. Sadly not but I'm meeting the owners of Ava next week so I will push for some sort of discount code.
Just purchased the easy p60 after watching both your videos on the p57. I’m assuming that is the predecessor
Does anybody know how to connect the uberflex M22 hose to an Ava? There doesn’t seem to be a coupling sold anywhere
I bought the p57, great little machine, i like how compact it is and the 12m hose was the deal breaker... i just forgot to register it for the warranty🤣
Hopefully you won't need with the P57. I've never seen any problems with this machine
Looking at getting a new pressure washer and got my eye on the new Ava Master 2.0 range. Are you getting one of those? Haven't been able to find any content on those yet.
I have one for the next 6 months for testing its my next video
Hi Dave great video the stubby gun in this video is the same as mine what adapter do I use to connect a different bottle I did purchase one it looks the same connection but it don’t connect…? Can you recommend one please 🙏 thank you
Hello they should all connect exactly the same. Just double check that plastic from the nozzle didn't come off and get inside the trigger like I did in the video
Thank you
Hi purchase p57 machine feels solid compact easy to store lots of tools with it value for money
Hi Dave 👋
Can this run from a water tank, cant decided from EASY P57 or P55 GO.
Thanks for the review
Yes the P57 will run off tank 👌
@@epicautomotivedetailing thanks for your quick reply, looks great for the price 👍
Great work by the way on the channel 👏 watch a video of yours around 3 years ago, joined fb group, watched ton more of your videos, been doing valeting now part-time for around 3 years coincidentally lol.
Thanks for the help
Whats your thoughts on the best in class for comparison karcher k7 iv watched a few of your videos and I'm thinking the nilfisk p180 I really like the 360 lance adapter. Please give me your thoughts as I need to purchase a new unit ASAP. Thanks
Either Ava p70 Evo or nilfisk p180 both equally brilliant
@epicautomotivedetailing thank you for the reply ill have a good look at both and choose one. Are the evo's good for longevity aswell ?
Can I use it in my home (UK) 3-pin socket? I heard the other models like the Master and Evolution series tend to blow out the fuses.
Yea 3 pin socket if purchased in the UK. Link in description. Also the Ava easy P57 is part of the second generation of machines so these do not blow any fuses, they also have a clever soft start so never a worry of it ever happening
Do you disconnect the trigger gun from the hose before you reel it in or just let the trigger bounce along the floor?
I see what you're saying. I just left it to drag along the floor and had no problems
After a new pressure washer as my k2 is starting to leak or the super glue is failing keeping it together only had it 8 years this looks a good pressure washer,was thinking of getting a k4 but that Ava looks a lot better set up
8 years is good going for domestic pressure washers
K7 or Ava 60/70/80, IMHO
@@yo3429 Ava is better equipped id say
Just bought one Stella and thinking of it made my decision,just in time for the nice weather
argh yes nice weather. Can't see that happening anytime soon lol @@dirkdingle7926
It's always the setting up and putting away that is such a pain when pressure washing. Which brand is best at this do you think?
Ava is the best with practicality. The tidiest set up is Evo P60 p70 and p80 as everything fits nicely away. I made a video last year on the Evo p70 that covers everything
Have you managed to test it with gravity feed system, if so how does it perform ?
yes it works through water tank
I’ve been using mine for a small valeting business, so far it’s been pretty bullet proof. Only issues was with the stubby gun where the trigger would stick, which was replaced by Ava no problem, the warranty is void if it’s used for a business so be aware. The flexi hose will kink very easily which I feel like I’m battling with sometimes, I wasn’t aware this was due to the temp. The wheel the flexi-hose is on gets stuck and you end up pulling the machine. Just an honest review lots of pros and cons, I’d probably give it a 7/10 and will upgrade to the Evo when this dies. Thanks for your feedback Dave always interesting to hear your opinion.
Thanks Jonny. Yeah that's a fair score
I bought a Master P70 bundle from Halfords in Jan last year. I like the machine very much indeed except for the hose winder which looks super good an efficient but seems to be a bit of a PITA to use and the fact there is nowhere particularly neat for the electric cable. The foam cannon is merely OK. Not sure if I can convert my brass bodied one from Nilfisk to an AVA connector or not (?). Despite these small niggles it's a first class machine to use.
Yeah I believe you can. I haven't tried modifying mine but may give it a go
@@epicautomotivedetailing Cheers! (And pls make a vid if you do!)
@@Retset 100% it's a great idea
Hi Dave,
Thank you very much for your detailed videos. I purchased the AVA Easy P57 based on your reviews. However, while awaiting my order, I’ve read up on this and encountered numerous disturbing messages about AVA’s support, with people not receiving any response. Their Facebook page is also bombarded with complaints.
Do you have any direct contact with AVA? If so, could you possibly obtain any details from them regarding this issue? I understand that their product has become extremely popular, and they are likely struggling to keep up with customer service. Nevertheless, some feedback on this matter from their side would be greatly appreciated.
Hello the easy p57 hasn't got any problems. It's the most reliable machine out of all of them. From my knowledge I don't recall ever hearing any returns with this model. Ava are forever upgrading the machines so what you get last year may be slightly different this year so they always take on feedback and make improvements thankfully. Sadly you only ever see reviews if people complain, never if something is good. I've been like that myself so I take it with a pinch of salt 🙏
How do you store your pressure washer, if the weather is very cold my unheated garage will be freezing
An old blanket would definitely help
Whats the difference between easy p57 and easy p60, which one would be a better option?
Honestly it's one tiny component inside I believe. Basically certain models were designated for certain stores so it made it more exclusive. It's madness as it's pretty much the same machine. Brilliant machine though
What's the difference between the Easy P40, P50, P57 & P60..?
They're also still out of stock after months...
More water flow the higher the model number I think
When is the new version you mentioned going to be on the shelves?
its out now
@@epicautomotivedetailing is there any way to know if the one I would be buying is the latest version? Any recommendations on where to purchase it from?
Whats your thoughts on fitting the stubby gun from in2detailing 😊
No need to really. This has been designed to work as a quick release. Takes merely a second to switch to foam cannon
@@epicautomotivedetailing the new style foam cannon works with it?
Whats the name of the new model you mentioned near the end?
i want one
@@EazyDuz18 do you know what the new model name is?
I can see the benefit of the 12m hose but as its not reinforced is that an issue?
My hose on the P57 is still holding up well. In the winter it coils up due to cold temperatures , you can replace with steel hose though
Quick question
Have you used ez car care?
Ifso gow are they compared to valetpro?
Can't say I've ever been tempted to try ez car care so I can't pass comments but valet pro is pretty good. Definitely not my favourite by any means but some products are solid
I'm just looking into building some stock. I want to start keeping ontop of my car and maybe try make a side hustle from it so nothing too expensive. Just came across your channel and so helpful. That ez keeps popping up on Facebook that's all 15L products for £15.
@@danieldixon6358 yeah there's a very good reason why it's cheap. Its very average
Do you have a video recommending a good starter pack and products needed? A full list of items needed for a basic valet?
@@danieldixon6358 quality wise infinity wax hands down
I’m still doubting between the p57 or a more expensive version maybe the p70 evo… you were talking about a new version? Any advice would be helpful.
Use mostly car cleaning.
Honestly if it's something that's going to go on the road with you and you always need to move it around then I'd pick this over the P70. Even though it's not a commercial machine It just does everything I need it to do.
Great machine. A shame they dont sell the 1l foam bottles separately. The only way to get them is to spend £50 on a complete new lance kit.
Yeah but also to be fair not many people realised I pushed them hard to get rid of the previous foam cannon which was too thirsty on product so they are making progress and still great for an added freebie with the bundle 👌
just had an email to say they are back in stock, 4 days too late as i bought a nilfsk core150 which is fab
Nice one they are really good value for money. I had a core 140 for a short period and it was really good
You can’t any at the moment and I am still waiting for them to come back into stock
They are back in stock
@@epicautomotivedetailing where at??
@@seanhammond4527 link in description. Limited stock but as of summer they should have more consistent levels
I leave mine out but wrap it with bubble wrap - London usually 0c at worst - OK so far
I don't agree with leaving pressure washer out, I've had many pressure washers over the past decades and they are always left in the shed where temperatures definitely do reach negative, but I've never had a problem with pressure washers leaking after that. Seems like a problem unique to Ava.
No leaving pressure washers out in sub zero conditions is bad unless they are well covered, (maybe I should have stated that) and also you need to press the trigger to remove all water from the hose and system otherwise it expands when freezing. All pressure washers do that if left out in icy cold conditions so if it expands roughly 10% the washers would warp, the water would expand inside the pipes and cause cracks leading to potential leaks
@epicautomotivedetailing hmm I don't know, have you seen Ava's recommended procedure for taking water out in the winter? They have bonkers steps like running the pump for exactly 63 seconds without a hose connector, then putting in WD40 and what not. Not really practical to do every time you want to use it in winter and what's the alternative, store it in my living room? Honestly, Ava seem to be living on another planet if they think the average consumer in the UK can do that. It just seems a way for them to cop out on their so called 20 year warranty. I'm very interested in buying a pressure washer from them, but I don't like this at all...
@@epicautomotivedetailing i have a p50 it lives in the shed that will get cold and probably below zero but i always expel the excess water and cover the machine over with a thick blanket. Will this suffice? No space to store in the house 😅
I recently bought a Ava P57...but I wanted to use a "cheapy gun" on it so I bought one on Ali....when mounted I used a adapter, I bought a Karcher-type adapter which is NOT ok you must use an adapter which is for Nilfisk, then you can connect the hose! When using the cheapy gun, the AVA started pulsing...I found out the these cheapy gun's interiour flow pipes have a diameter which is too small for the througput volume of the Ava P57 (= 500 liters/min)....So I bought a MTM28....the diameter from a cheapy gun tube = 9.7mm versus MTM28 diameter 13mm! Then it works! Attention, I use the white 40° nozzle and changed it to a nozzle with aperture 1.4mm Now I'm testing a cheapy foam canon but I'm waiting for a bigger nozzle inside, AVA says a nozzle with diameter 1.35-1.4mm should work
Fair play for trying new triggers on it
Hey Dave I have got p57 now 😊 can you use the stubby gun from in2detailing? 😊
I leave mine outside in west London and wrap it with bubble wrap
Had my P55 over a year now, great machine but I've had 3 trigger guns now. This I wasn't happy with. The first very cheap gun leaked after just 2 months. No replacement from AVA because I am a business?
10 yr guarantee is void!!! According to ava the machines only meant to be used once a week. The second gun lasted 5 months, I was then told Buy another online and also buy a Metal part and replace the plastic pipe for the inside. If AVA just put the metal adapter inside the triggers they would be a 5* company.
Hi Chris that's one of the new updates on the P57 . Not sure about the other machines yet but they could have updated them. Yeah warranty doesn't cover commercial use sadly
first
