Typical clear, well thought out honest review. Appreciate your diligence and clear demonstrations. Great stuff.

We've been anxiously and patiently waiting for you to receive and review this one!

Thanks Josh...as always you are the best source for pressure washer and accessory reviews. I've had a SunJoe 4000 pressure washer for the past several years for personal car washing but it's time to upgrade and I'll be going with the Active 2.0 based on your reccomendation. Thanks again for your channel!

Active is such a cool company for listening to the folks who use their products

Great job, this is exactly what I was looking for!

I already tried to buy this unit for black friday and I lost the discount because my bank blocked my card, I hope to be the winner of this pressure washer. thanks for doing this Josh 😎👍

I have the older activ, bought it last year so not ready to buy a new one, but this one looks great. You are right about the power button I can see why it would fail but otherwise a great pressure washer.

Ok this the one I ready need! Thanks Josh.

I would love to have this bad boy!! Thanks for the great video man!! God bless!!

Like all your product reviews. Love to have one of these Active 2.0 pressure washer.

Thank you! Definitely going to be my next pressure washer once my ryobi breaks! Going to definitely use my own hose, gun and foam cannon

Good job Josh. My 2.0 just arrived Wednesday, looking forward to setting it up Sunday.

I need this badly, cheers!

Great video as always! Looking to get a new pressure washer

Appreciate the review

Josh ~ have to say this power bar none is the BEST power washer in a small package that packs a punch. I have a honda gas powerwasher, but the Active 2.0 is a game changer. The size, the power, compressor only turning on for demand, etc. Very impressive! Thanks for your vids, they are def making a difference for us consumers. keep it going brother!!!!

Thanks so much for this video

Josh does the best testing on pressure washers!!

Great washer/video!

I know someone who just got this machine as well and he loves it. Nothing really negative to say about it. Thanks for the review.

Dope beat at the end

Looks like a great unit .

Great review Josh ..I am waiting for my sunjoe to give out so I can buy this ..I got the Wagner and Bissell spot clean pro from ur recommendation and they r working like a champ

Great video

Looks like a nice little unit

This is one of the most compact and easy to use pressure washers on the market

I’m happy with my Ryobi but could certainly up my game with this.

This looks good!

Very good review.

I really need something like this!

Thanks for that.

I definitely want this unit of a pressure washer

Once again another great video. I honestly think I'm going to order this one. I am going to order the one without the accessories. I don't mind paying more money for better quality. Now I do have my gas power washer that does a phenomenal job. With winter coming and my garage is only heated when I'm out there so the gas one is a pain in the keister. I've been looking for an electric one. That way I can drain my hoses and bring the unit into the warm house. I have a setup in our utility room. Got big shelving units and that's where I keep all my batteries and all the chargers for my tools. And this will fit nicely right there next to all of it. I most definitely gave you a big old thumbs up and of course I'm already I subscriber. Looking forward to your next video.

Awesome!

Looks to pack a good punch for such a small pressure washer. Looks great

Just watched your video on the Chemical Guys Power Washer. This Active 2.0 by far is a superior product to what the " Guys" have. Up to know, this is leading the race to my choice

Looks like a good pressure washer would like to try one out...

I NEEEEED THIS!

Thanks for this video! It's helped me with my purchase decision. As a side note, I ordered and received the wand swivel using your link. It seems very tight which some other buyers also found, according to their reviews. Does it loosen up when used over time?

Great review. Do you ever notice any back pressure build up whenever you release the trigger on your spray gun? I'm noticing it happen on my Sun Joe and think it might be time for an upgrade.

Need this!

Hey Josh, Great Vid! Just got this 2.0. What cart are you using in this video? Looks handy.

Wow that looks pretty compact and it save water.

Josh, I really enjoy your reviews and actually based my purchase of this unit largely on your review. I do need to share what happened to me after the purchase. Others may gains some value and at least be more informed. Purchased this pressure washer on 10/20/23. Used it once... Worked great. No serious issues. Good pressure, did not overheat, TSS pressure system worked reasonably well but need to make sure no small leaks in hose and connections or the unit will cycle a lot. After use, was putting the unit away in my car and I caught the TSS switch on the edge of the car and it cracked the switch housing. This is the most delicate part of the pressure washer and it is not protected with any guard. If this unit were to roll over or be hit by something else or your hose got hung up and tangled, I can see this part getting damaged. I am not blaming "Active" for the damage whatsover (Other than that switch is not very well guarded and is plastic) However, I reached to them to purchase a replacement part. I emailed them and called and spoke to a support rep. I received this response a short time ago: I checked with the tech team and manager, and unfortunately, we don't have this part available, and we're not sure if it will be available in the near future. Let me know if you'd like to buy another 2.0; I can offer a 15% discount. Best Regards, Customer Support, ACTIVE PRODUCTS I was a bit surprised for such an expensive product that they have no parts or support. Obviously, this is a very, very big disappointment to me. As you can see from the photo I have included, I just purchased this unit three weeks ago, paid $369 and the unit is basically junk now because Active cannot replace what is likely a $20 piece of plastic. My goal with this review is not to air out my issue with the merchant, my goal is to put anyone on notice that if they are purchasing this product, Active does not seem willing to replace any parts but will be quick to offer you to buy another unit. I can understand this type of response with a $79 Harbor Freight electric pressure washer, but this purchase for me was significantly researched and I looked at it as an investment into a really high quality machine. If this unit does break, and it is not covered by warranty, you will be at risk losing your $350 + investment. Too bad. At this price point, basic parts should be available. As you can see from the photo, it is very specialized and as I said the weakest link of the unit. From what I have seen and brainstormed, I have no way to workaround it.... HAVING SAID ALL OF THIS, I am not blaming you or your review. I appreciate all your information and detailed review. I just thought this would be reasonable to add for anyone that may be considering this unit. In addition, I am open to any ideas you may have about how I might gain some value out of something that is essentially a boat anchor now..... :(

Oh man that is terrible. I’m so sorry to hear that and thanks for posting that to bring awareness. Yeah that piece breaking is unfortunate but I would hope that there was solution for it. When you get into the serviceable units like the kranzle, or ar630 then they have repairable components but those units are much more expensive. Send me a picture of where yours broke to dtlrsupply@gmail.com and I’ll see if I can think of a solution for you

Hope you found a solution to your problem. From what I can see this TSS switch appears to be a pressure switch. I figure it turns the electric motor on when the trigger is pulled (pressure drops) and motor off when trigger is released (pressure increases). Looks like you would be able to find an aftermarket switch with the same psi rating and connections.

Thanks for sharing !! Based on your video and your review on this pressure washer I made my decision to buy it. Was looking for a small portable pressure washer and this impressed me so much that I ordered yesterday (2/18/24) from Amazon. To be honest, I had not heard of this brand, nevertheless I had seen it advertised on Amazon website, but never caught my attention. Just waiting on its arrival. Followed your advice and purchased different accessories for a better experience.

Nice review. Im guessing backorder for couple more months.

hi Josh how are you? its nice to see you on youtube i would like to know that uberflex hose have steel braided / no? its hard to find that kind a hose here to upgrade, LOL

Like the size and look of it.

Yo brotha! Love the content and I’ve recently purchased some of the items on your list. I had a quick question about the quick connects. I purchased the same Uber flex hose in the link, but the quick connects linked are 3/8”. Will those two components fit or do I need to purchase the m22 to 1/4” fittings?

Thanks for the giveaways 👍

I got this unit based on your recommendation and I love it. I’m looking to add a quick connect to my garden hose but not sure which one I need. Can you or anyone on here assist? Thanks for the help and keep up the great channel.

Great review! Yes, when you double the length of the hose, you will double your friction loss. That accounts for the pressure decrease. If you put your pressure guage at the beginning of the hose, you will see the same pressure regardless of the hose length. However, that would not accurately tell you the performance at the nozzle. It would only demonstrate the loss.

best for sure

Nice overall review but will consider it once my existing unit dies.

Nice 👍🏻

Hello there, the Active VE52 did run at 100 hrs which is the average lifecycle for electric pressure washers. The main idea behind the Active 2.0 is to focus on longevity. The Active 2.0 runs at twice the lifecycle of the VE52 (200 hrs).

After watching the reviews of the new Active 2.3 I have a deeper appreciation for the 2.0. I think it is a great value compared to the latest heavyweights that are significantly more expensive. With this unit being a good ten decibels quieter, and at its price point, it is the unit to have.

Great performance compares to other brand

Is a pump included? Amazing! :-)

Got my 2.0 last week and used it last weekend. So far so good. Wish they were available sooner with the shorter summer season we have here.

Can you do a video on best way to empty water when done using the Active 2.0

This pressure washer looks amazing. Is the 2.0 worth the extra money? The 1.0 seems like a good unit.

I need to upgrade from my k1700. With the 50’ hose when i start up again it needs to build up pressure for a millisecond

Best power washer.

I've had the same Ryobi in this video for over 3 years now using it in my mobile detailing business. I make over 100k a year. Has yet to fail me but I did just upgrade to the Active. Debated on going with gas engine but didn't want the hassle. Electric is easy. gas is overkill unless you're doing commercial vehicles or high quantity vehicles. In my case, quality over quantity.

What is the best way to get a light layer of dust and pollen off of a ceramic coated truck without having to wash it or do you need to wash it.? I'm going to get that Uber hose it looks a lot better for my Ryobi 1800 PSI electric pressure washer. Thank you for all your videos, you are a true professional and I really get a great education every time I watch anything new from your channel.

I’m still on the OG Josh setup… Ryobi, Uberflex and MJJC. The Ryobi works but it’s annoyingly loud. I’m upgrading this year. The Active 2.3 coming out at $650 and the AR at $800 are a tough pill to swallow… but the 2.0 can be had for $300 right now. Might have to snag one. My fear with the 2.0 is the high pitched noise. I want something quieter. Wondering how it compares to the Ryobi. Great stuff Josh!
