Just purchased this machine and waiting on delivery. Also bought the telescopic lance. Great video thanks.

Thank you so much for your detailed and thorough review. My Nilfish pressure washer failed after about only about 100 hours of use. I was looking into another Nilfisk or Kärcher pressure washer when I stumbled upon your video. I got a Black Friday deal on the Ava P60 and only used it twice so far but I'm very impressed by the product: the build quality, the ease of use, the attention to details.. I didn't mean to spend 350€ on a pressure washer but I considered it to be an investment and I'm so glad I spend the extra money to own a proper, well thought through pressure washer. I haven't checked your other videos yet so I'm unsure whether you've already tested the updated foam gun but I must say it functions well and looks like a major improvement over the foam gun you reviewed. Thanks again and all the best mate!

I have just ordered this, and got this message from Ava - "I just want to make you aware that while AVA machines are engineered and manufactured to the highest standard possible, they are consumer level machines. We see many successful examples of machines such as the Master and Evolution being used in tough and professional environments, however, please be advised that any such use of any of our equipment voids our warranty/consumer guarantee, and you are therefore liable to pay for any parts or repairs that need to be done to keep your machine in working order." I wondered if anyone else knew this?

Hiya buddy. Initially I did think this was a strange response but on reflection it could be argued that it is an honest response from Ava. Albeit any potential customer may evaluate this as the machines are not built to last, I think it goes without saying that these machines are not designed for hard professional use. My personal opinion is that Kranzle are one of the only brands that built pro-grade machines designed for persistent professional use. Yes you can use Karcher/Ava and others but these will not stand the punishment that a Kranzle can handle. Cheers for comment and happy to discuss further.

But, I wouldn’t begin to use mine unless I knew I had a few 13 amp fuses handy. Iv had mine since December and can count on one hand how many times iv used the machine and it blown 3/4 fuses. Fuses are relatively cheap and take seconds to change so not a huge problem but still abit frustrating.

I am still not convinced on changing from Karcher as the machine looks a bit flimsy to me especially the cable management. I roll my cable and pop it into the wee pocket on the back of my K5. I watched your video in full to give it a fair chance and I was nearly convinced until I read the comments on a potential fuse issue which killed it for me. It certainly has it's good points but if it is to be the machine of choice with most it needs to look at the industry trends and have a better snow foam lance at release and I know you say there is a new one coming but I presume it will just be larger. In its defense my Father in law doesn't have an outside tap at home or his holiday home so working from a water butt may sway him to overlook any fuse issue. A good review and an easy watch so thanks for that. In my experience any of us that are serious about our detailing but not in the trade as such aspire to a Kranzle as that is what seems to be the weapon of choice for the pro's so I am not sure this will succeed it may be the Beta Max of video recorders. I may be wrong in my assumption and I do like the non throw away culture this company are promoting but the machines are using a higher flow rate and as water is a diminishing resource is this a good selling point where it is promoting a good ethic in sustainability. Rant over.

Dont buy AVA, the quality is not there. The major problem with AVA pressure washers are the microswitch for the pump. Flimsy is correct. I've owned and used the P70 Master and the P80X Evo. Both of them are better to use than Karcher, but that does not help when it breaks down all the time.

John. Thanks for watching. The Ava machines are in my oppinion better build quality than Karcher. Saying that there are still plastic parts on the Ava and it is definitely not a bullet proof Kranzle. The power cord winder is a bit flexible but after 6 months and careful ownership my P60 is still in perfect working order with regular use. The fuse issue has been bad press for Ava but the majority of these issues have been with the higher power models and not the P60.

cracking review, and will consider AVA, when my 7yr old K4 finally gives up, but I'm used to quality stubby gun and 15m hose on the Karcher reel. Btw K4 flow rate is 420L/H, not 380.

Had one of these bad boys and it was perfect on paper until it started blowing the fuse in the plug which happened 3 times, my electrics in the garage are fine so I know it wasn’t that, to be fair to Ava I got my money back which is a shame as I really liked the idea of Ava, I have dug deeper into my pockets and gone for the mighty kranzle k7/122 auto stop, which is a different beast altogether

Thats not a good look for AVA. I have 10a fuses in my house. Would you advise me to stay away from the P60?

I don't think you understood the low effort feature on the trigger. There's a small black indented button towards the top of the trigger - press that in with your pinkie when the main green trigger button is depressed; the small black button keeps the larger trigger held on/depressed, without contact needed on the green trigger at all. When you released the green trigger (when demoing it at 14:12) - the black button flashed into view briefly - that's the bit you hold to avoid fatigue. Hope that makes sense and helps you or others.

By the way, the blown fuses is easy fix, these washers are based on running EU and even USA boards,only in the uk do we actually shove a fuse at two points,unlike rest of the world, if you find its blowing your fuse its because the power to the 13amp plug is maxed out and the washer P70 and above don't have soft start like the cheaper models, however the fix is replace standard fm13amp fuse with a slow 13amp fuse caost the same as the standard fuse but it allows a delay in blowing said fuse IE it's like the same time that's needed for soft start, these fuses are actually used a lot in welders, and air compressors, it's just taken AVA longer to realise how other companies get round the problem

Hiya and thanks for watching. When it comes to quality it is hard to articulate that in words. Suffice to say I tried to show all the parts of the machine working in the video. For an update my machine is now over 6 months old and is still working perfectly. The bottom line is, similar to Karcher, there are still plastic parts on the machine so they can break. Unlike a Kranzle these units are not bullet proof so do need to be looked after. I would argue that these machines are for keen enthusiasts. I would go Kranzle if I was a professional detailer or studio based due to the aggressive use they would be subjected to. The P60 does not seem to have the fuse issue associated with the higher power models and I do agree with you that Ava customer service is in need of much improvement.
