For US customers, the 1622 only exists because Matt has exclusivity on the 1322. Because other retailers wanted to sell the same thing, Kranzle modified the 1622 with total stop as well as being able to run on a 15-amp circuit (the 1322 needs a 20-amp), which makes it better suited to older homes or for mobile detailers running off a generator.
It's that lack of amps which limits to full potential of the 1622, that's why its very lean, and why you can't see the appeal...........................I'd be the same. In Australia, because we have higher voltage circuits, we can run these machines at full potential, hence the higher flow rates. In this case, the extra spend buys you something.
The bottle issue is for the frosted clear Pressol hand sprayers that he has been trying to perfect for over 6 years now. The latest "Pro-Series" were touted as finally being perfect after many improvements and revisions. The internals of the spray head were improved, and the bottles fluorinated to make them more chemically resistant. They apparently fixed the tip splitting by going with stainless steel, and a new silicone tube with wire retailers to prevent falling off the weighted filter or inlet to the sprayer. Last week, he posted a video displaying his life achievement, that the Pressol's were perfect.
Within two days, the stainless-steel tips were rusting in customer hands............................because Pressol Germany accidentally made them from steel. Then the fancy pickup straws were being cut in half by the wire retainer. And the latest being high alkaline products turning the bottles from clear to brown. All this despite the following quote -
And now this is posted on the product listing -
So, if all this "testing" was done, how come they didn't find these issues BEFORE they were put on sale, before customers pre-ordered, before customers handed over $20 a bottle?
On one hand, I kinda feel sorry for him, he's sunk so much money and effort into these things. But on the other, I just don't know why they have wasted all this effort and still have a dud product. The clear bottles were never intended for car cleaning chemicals, in fact they were always called "Household Sprayers". It's the kinked black and red plastic bottles that were chemically resistant, likewise the industrial spray head.......................................but they can't put a label on them because of the unique shape, and the whole matching label thing has been the goal from the beginning.
I have the previous version, but they otherwise look the same as the new ones. (These weren't bought from OG by the way). They look great and love the matching labels. However, the Kawzar Mercury 360 are streets ahead better, be that the build quality, superior trigger action, better pickup tube, superior atomization.
