Reliable Electric pressure washers

AR 630TSS. All the power of a Kranzel but a fraction of the price. Need a 20amp breaker though.

Do you own this one? The North American branch is
Very close to your location. I’m seriously interested in this pressure washer. It I gotta act before OG tests it and decides to sell it. He’ll buy them all up and mark them up 46%

I have a sunjoe professional series spx9004
Had it wall mounted in garage for maybe 7 months.

I love it. So much better than my 1.2 gpm ryobi was!

Highly recommend.

Adjustable pressure and great flow

Why is this washer so small? Why is it better than other models?

Yes, I've had it since August of 2016. Excellent power at 2.1GPM and 1900psi (which can be dialed down) and I've had no issues thus far. I did buy a longer hose and different wand (flexible) with quick connects. Ordered everything from PWMall.com.


 
Have you actually tested the psi, and gpm? I’m gonna assume that it isn’t exaggerated like the cheaper ones.

Without actual testing and going simply on the weight, and current requirements it looks like this unit is on par with the beloved kranzle unit.

Pwmall is where I’m ordering from. I will say that AR North America is very responsive to customer questions. That’s a plus for me.

So do you move the unit around a lot, or so you primarily have it stationary?

The brushless induction electric motor is the big difference with it's much smaller size with the same power.

I have no way to test the manufactures specs, but I can say it blows away the cheap box store electric units, though it does have less pressure then a lot of the larger gas powered units. Pressure Washers Direct has it rated at 3990 cleaning units, which is higher than the $1900 Kranzel K499TST unit at 3800 cleaning units. IMO it has just the right amount of pressure for working on cars, not to much where you need to worry about blowing paint off (Depending on which tip you use), and not too little that if feels like a box store unit. Back in the 90's when I worked in volume shops we use pressure washers rated at 3GPM and 2750-3000PSI, which was too much for working on cars IMO. It was nice when we had muddy farm trucks come in but total overkill most of the time.

I will have it wall mounted once I run the water lines but for now I do pick it up and move it outside, which is only a few feet. It's very heavy though (67lbs) and not something you'd want to be carrying for a long distance.
 
Been watching a few videos regarding hot water setups for pressure washers, and most models seems to be able to handle at least warm water. So if you have a fixed location, using either warm or hot water might be a good idea to increase the effectiveness of your machine.

You would have to consult the user manual to see how hot the water can be, but even the low end stuff seems to be about to handle water at around 40 celcius (104 F).

I saw a video where the guys builds a water eater using a 5 gallon bucket and a bucket heater. He gets the water to 44C and the water is steaming (water boils at 100 C). My guess is that using that would be much much more effective than cold water.

I suggested to Matt to make a video about setting up a hot water pw and he answered that the Kranzles can handle 140 F. That is pretty nice. I am thinking about making something for my mobile setup next season... will have to check the range of water temperatures my PWs can handle.

Testing would be as easy as an inline pressure gauge at the gun, and spraying water into a bucket for 1 minute, and divide weight (less bucket weight) I think 8.32 or around.

I’ll test mine when I get it. It’s kinda looking like I’ll buy it. It’s a toss up. I really like the for factor of the kranzle 1122.

As for your hose, did you buy the 1/4” 50 footer? If so, why that size, and not a 3/8” hose with a quick connect?

I,was thinking of simply putting mine on a harbor freight moving dolly thingie for 10 bucks.

The Kranzel are excellent units, no doubt about that. I just couldn't justify paying almost twice as much for a less powerful unit.

I did purchase a 50' hose and went with a 1/4" simply because that's what the unit comes with. I wasn't sure how a 3/8" hose would effect performance, though I guess the longer hose could have an effect too, but that's beyond my knowledge. With a 50' hose there really is no need to move it around. I set mine just outside the garage door and have more then enough length to go around my full size truck.

I tested a 1/4" 30 foot versus 3/8" 50 foot with my gas washer and there was zero difference in flow. Not sure about PSI. I just got a gauge to test that. I think you should have went with a 4.0 orifice instead of 3.5. You'll lose a bit of pressure, but still should have enough, and you'll get more GPM.

Still happy with your AR630? :)

Yes with 50 feet, unless you are washing a large truck, you have plenty of hose to go around the car without moving the pressure washer. On large commercial vans or bigger, you will need to move the pw though in most cases.
 
Normally don’t post products from other places but since Autogeek doesn’t sell them. Here’s one I found online an a dolley already

AR Blue 2in1 PW seems like a good versitale PW. 2050psi and 1.4gpm I think it was. Saw some good prices on it too around 250$. TTS it has also and goes on a 14amp fuse.
 
Anyone have experience with REALM Pressure Washers, which appear to be exclusively sold via Home Depot? Some have some pretty decent reviews (on Home Depot's site). The one in particular that i'm looking at is their new 2600 PSI, 1.75 GPM, 14.5 Amp Electric. From all the research i've been doing lately, the specs might be a little too good to be true for the price point, possibly getting into exaggerated claims territory like I've heard about certain other PW brands. It's somewhat abnormal to see a high PSI AND decent flow rate for an electric, especially in this price range. Thanks in advance. I was looking at the AR Blue 2N1, but it seems it doesn't even reach it's claims based on a few videos i've seen. I'm currently sitting on the Ryobi 1800 / 2.1 as my first choice (along with hose/gun/wand updates).
 
No experience and looks like other Chinese models sold on eBay. That being said I like that it has an induction motor. Has TSS (trigger on/off). Good amperage. I have e 2300 watt ryobi and it cuts power and sound when trigger not pulled but doesn’t shut all the way off. The gpm’s I believe are 1.2 not 2.1. Mine has same gpm and fine for pressure washing cars, decks, driveways not so good for tall houses but not sure any electric would be. I wish it had TSS but other than having to turn off/on it works great. Used about 20 times l, upgraded to snubnose gun,Quick connects, and ryobi kinkless hose. If don mind spending more I’ve been looking at AR 767. From what I’ve read so far (not much). Looks to be like the 630TSS but in a cart model seems to have a lot if not the same components

Also as someone stated above sun joe has a commercial washer 1800 psi and 1.6 gsm. Doesn’t have TSS and some complain of not playing well with after market hoses and guns.
