Alright pressure washer bros, you guys have been asking about this one for quite a while now and it's finally here. I tested out this unit a while ago and it did an impressive 1.94 GPM which is insane, but that also means this little guy beats every other entry level pressure washer at its price point and even beats the Kranzle a little, but only in flow. So it's time to ditch your Stupid Joe and upgrade your life a little bit (at least until you're ready for a Kranzle.)

i don't know what my life has devolved to that i'm now watching an hour long video on a $200 pressure washer
Because Billy Mays is dead...?
Matt in the Billy Mays voice " But wait there's more " the fittings come apart like so lets do that one more time in slow motion!!! 😂😂
I'm the same way. If you don't mind me psychoanalyzing us both. I think this is a very masculine thing to do. It's really about money. A company providing us a product for a certain price and then screwing us over with lower specs or reduced life have metaphorically cucked us as men and stolen our livelihood. Spending hours researching a product to save a couple hundred dollars isn't about the money it's about 'beating' the enemy who is attempting to steal our hard earned resources. Men don't like getting taken advantage of. We will avoid it at all costs even if we waste potentially more time and money avoiding the tricks it was worth it to us because we didn't get swindled.
right
5:49 - "Don't be stupid I'm assuming you're smart". This is why I enjoy OG.
Keep watching. It gets even better.

Condescending Matty mixed with three tablespoons of passive aggressiveness is straight-up golden.
Best comment I’ve seen!
Ha, ha... This was my fourth video of the day. My guys begged me to make this one. It got spicy.
@@ObsessedGarage can you use a CR Spotless Simple Chuck Spotless Water System with this machine? Or would it be to hard on it?
Also how can I get that short nozzle your using on that EGO blower sitting in the background?
"I'm not saying you're crayon eating idiots who can't read, but if you overpay me for stuff that you could get anywhere else for half the price, you probably have a pretty smooth brain, so I'll show you how to use plumbing fittings myself"
@@carlod545 it won't hurt anything to use DI tanks in line. I use a On the go water softner paired with a DI Rinse pro 50 and seen no effect in operation
*Breathing air* - Matt: "You're not gonna need that"
"this is almost 80% nitrogen. We don't include that in our air"
52:36 "My name is Matt Moremen, if you don't like me I don't care." Had me dying haha 😂😂 The ending was pure gold.
Agreed lol
Don’t be fooled, he cares or he wouldn’t have said it.
Note to self: call Jeff to cry about my nozzles not fitting in my Aqualine.😂
How you liking your acqualine? I just ordered mine.
What’s an acqualine ? My mom died after a what seems like a decade of hell so I missed the last 18 months of videos/updates
@@Fee.1 sorry to hear that man. It's a newer mtm release. Gun-wand etc.
I've had that pressure washer for a little over a year and couldn't find any reviews on it. Took a shot in the dark and it's been running strong. Glad to see this product getting the recognition it deserves.
Matt’s progressively gotten more and more impatient and obnoxious regarding his customers. I love it.
"This crap would be fun if it wasn't for customers."
Only the stupid ones 😂
@@timkinley1779 Its like the saying "I used to be a people person, but people ruined it for me"
And that’s why we’re here
Never forget where you came from or you will turn in to the asshole that made your life hell when you first started. That's not the kind of person to be.
This was a beauty from start to finish. Well worth the complete watch. So many gems have to watch again.
I bought the ultimate AR from you. I was one of those idiots about the fittings but only worse. I first ordered an extra fitting before I sent the email. I ordered a cart for mine and made the AR mobile. I did the fittings exactly as stated. I had to order a 22 or 24mm wrench. Not 1 leak. I was blown away how much power the AR has. I also bought the wand fitting set from OG so I could do house washing. Very happy with it and love not hearing a gas engine.
"go get your wife she'll help you" .😂.💀😂💀.😂
damn you can just see how much Matt enjoyed throwing that included stuff :DD
I want to buy some fittings just to call about how 1/2 of them are missing.
“First we throw it in the garbage can, then we throw it in the dumpster.” - Matty
on the fittings page, just put a 3 second clip of matt taking apart the fittings xD
I never comment on anything but Matt's attitude to his customers is the best. I bet every retail worker everywhere wishes they could be like this.
Matty in epic form on today's upload. What a character 😂😂😂
I feel like someone in the media team tried to tell Matt he had to be nicer to people, which is what resulted in "Don't be an idiot... I assume your intelligent, but quit being an idiot" and "I'm sure you're a nice person, but quit being dumb"
If that is what happened, thank you, because that just made this into gold.
This is one of my favorite videos matt does its 3 months old and i still finding myself watching it just for the laugh
Just bought Kranzle K1122TST from you a few days ago, I hope it ships soon. Great video thanks for weeding out all the junk out there for us
As someone in the 23.5-27 year timeframe, I'm very glad Jeff/Tommy/Bryce convinced you on the "progression" model.
I have this exact pressure washer but it’s branded simonize here in Canada and it’s a Canadian tire brand but identical to this one and being able to pick it up for $200 Canadian when there’s a sale it’s definitely worth it’s weight in gold makes plenty of foam in my cannon and easily portable
Replaced a underwhelming Dewalt 2400psi pressure washer that would not produce foam even with 1.1 orafice...and got a Active VE52 and decided to go for water flow vs pressure...as I will be using to wash car much more than side of house or patio. Hooked it all up today with Flexzilla hose with quick connects, Uberflex pressure hose with quick connects, MJJC Foam Cannon, Mega Foam, Tire Cleaner, etc. Where the Dewalt 2400 spit foam and was very runny....this thing looked like I was laying down layer of snow on ski slope. Like night and day performance. No leaks, no issues, no worries.... Thanks for the reviews.
"Don't be stupid. I assume you're smart."
Dead. 😆 🤣
That was a proper ragesplaining, Matt...more please!!!
Just bought the VE56 from you yesterday and it arrived today-- WOW ! I look forward to trying this baby out.
Hi Matt thank you for the tutorials. I got the active VE52 from somewhere else bc you were out of stock but I’d like to get that mosmatic sprayer. And change the hose that I have which is the grey jet something I paid over $100, but I think this kind of pressure washer will work better with the one you are showing it looks smaller and I’ll get more pressure. Also what tip of those with rubber should I use. TY OG team.
I bought this as my first pressure washer for my detailing business. So far so good, ive done 10 cars and have had zero problems whatsoever so far. Thanks for the recommendation.
how is it holding up?
Still running strong! No leaks, no electrical problems, nothing. Probably have 200 hours on it now aswell.
My sunjoe, stuck in the dusty corner of my garage, hooked up to cox reel/kobrajet hose/sgs gun, has lasted for two years now. All season washing in NJ across three cars. Will probably go for this once that kicks
5:24 and I'm dead. I wouldn't have imagined this was ever a problem. I just got three in the mail and thought, "Hey, that's nice that they sent these together."
This is my favorite OG vid ever. From the Face-off ref to the hostile indifference. I had my wife help me type this.
LOL I just died when Matt started throwing all the original attachments.
Don't worry, I am going to Facebook call Bryce anytime I need help with the setup. 😆
You're "that guy". 🤦♂️
Called a joke@@donaldthomason4588
Watched the video because of the comment saying you were being obnoxious and impatient! Glad to hear you like us Canadians eh! I like the format of finally just telling people what they need and to stop thinking they know better. Lord knows no one else has put in the work you have.
LOL...Hilarious...Matt is CRAZY, we know that and...it's great. I'm obsessed ALREADY and now, I'm getting obsessed about my Garage. I WILL NEVER take the Fox stickers off the Fork on my Yeti but, I was convinced to order that Ultimate gun setup and HO. LEE. CRAP. It's friggin' AMAZING. Don't think about it, just close your eyes and press "BUY" and you won't regret it. It's STUPID GOOD. So much so that since I was starting on the Kool Aid I bought 3 Pressol Industrial v1.3 LMNOP spray bottles and...WHO KNEW a SPRAY BOTTLE could be so awesome. I feel WEIRD about liking this channel and buying these things but DANG. It proves you can obsess about ANYTHING...and it be worth it. I will be "giving" you more money...
Now that I have pressure washer covered, what's the opinion on a de-ionizer/spotless wash systems for someone who is doing detailing as only a hobby?
Thanks to this I discovered a o-ring break in my inlet hose QD. Always leaked from day one and ive seen other Active videos leaking in the same area. I never looked 😆 once replaced, leaks gone and the unit did not kick on/off once when i used today.
Priceless ! You remind me of my high school shop teachers in the 1960's !
Great video,review and info.
I usually don’t like big ego but you’re hilarious when you do it.
Please keep the videos coming
I got the karcher setup from y’all a long time ago and it’s been great for me I haven’t had a problem! I know it’s pretty low end but it does the job for a weekly wash👌🏽
Funny I just ordered this on Amazon yesterday and will be doing a review. I had the VE51 which got me 1.6 GPM tested using the SG28 and a 3.5 orifice at 900 PSI. It was only $115 and was wall mountable.
Just received mine from you this week! Excited to put it to work this summer.
4:02 unboxing a pressure washer and throwing most of it to the floor is one of the funniest things I have seen on this channel
I like to use a 4 foot breaker bar and cross thread my fittings so they're so tight I don't need o-rings
This is pure gold! Love it Matt!
One question I have is can you plug thiss into an extension cord or does it have to be plugged straight into the wall. My current pressure washer will not work when it's plugged into an extension cord
Matty this was gold , I pissed my self laughing this is one of the best videos you have done I just love the way you say it as it is no mucking around keep it up
Regards Australia 👍🏼
Just finished washing a house for my painting company. Think this would work well for that type of application?
@matt. What’s the best brand or machine in your view for dry ice cleaning from cars to machines. Any ideas? Your view is always valid
is it possible to add OG spec accessories to my current karcher k5 set up with a hose reel? the 25 ft isnt cutting it
I’m not in the market for a new pressure washer, but this video makes me want to buy one just because.
Btw... if you take off the side bits, it squeezes in to the bottom shelf of a small IKEA cart. Wrap the cord around the cart, mount a tube / pipe on the side, and you’ve got a decent little wheel around setup.
Classic Obsessed Garage video...Tons of truth, mixed with lots of insults and sarcasm!! Keep it coming Matt. We're buying!! 🤩
Love the attitude today bro, super entertaining. Great video as usual.
These videos brings me so much joy
I may buy one of these just in case my Kranzle is down for maint. Will this fit on the same footprint of the Kranzle shelf other than the outlet on the back? Maybe a right hand fitting to solve that?
Any Idea if its possible to run this Active Pressure Washer VE 52 in Europe (Germany) , because we don´t have 120V , we use 240V . I like the Ultimate Set, but i think the Pressure Washer only works with 120Volts Power supply, right?
Just received my ve52. In stock configuration (stock hose, wand, 40deg/3.7) my gage is reading just under 800, call it 780psig. After switching out to 40deg/3.0, gage was reading 1000psig.
After installing 50ft flexzilla hose w/ mtm wand w/ 40deg/3.7, massive surging that eventually went away, gage was reading just under over 700psig. Swapped it out for the 40deg/3.0 and pressure went up to just over 900 with every release of trigger causing pressure to jump to 2200psig.
Thoughts??
use this pressure washer for a couple months however, the pump gave out. but now that there's a nice solution from you guys, im tempted to try it once again.
We need more dry ice cleaning footage Matt! I beg you, so satisfying
I’ve grown my business due to massive information dumps like these videos. I truly thank you for what you do and I’ll continue to order the best of the best from your shop! I’m obsessed.
How much power does it need to power the unit? I have a ryobi 2300 generator Will that work?
Do you offer a coupler to connect two of their stock hoses? The one that connects to their wand. Thanks!
" if you don't like me, I don't care"... 👍 One of my favorite song lyrics of all time from Neil Young's Old Man... "It doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you". Love the videos & the attitude!
Hey Matt! I already have the 3.0 nozzle for my sunjoe but I just bought the active ve52 and I was wondering if it can use the 3.0 nozzle instead of 4.0 and what's the difference between both? Thanks and keep up the good work
I think you run the machine too hard using the 3.0. You'll be okay for a little while, but you'll likely wear out the motor quicker.
Thank you guys so much for this you cant imagine how essential you are to the industry especially for us newbies 😅.
So i checked your website and came up with the following questions:
1) since its out of stock can you give me a rough estimate on when you will have it in stock again ?
2) Since i dont live in the states do you guys ship overseas to Qatar?
Stay awesome!
Is the ve56 a newer model than the ve52? You mentioned minor updates every 6 months, does the model name change or is there any way to see or know what has been updated?
Lmao I have ordered quick disconnects from you like 3 separate times and every single time I’m like oh no he forget to send me the male fittings....and it takes me a solid minute to realize they are put together like that 😂
This looks exactly like my Simonize 2.0 gpm pressure washer I purchased from Canadian Tire. I wonder if they're the same?
Also CAT
“The king of entry level pressure washers”. Starts throwing away pieces.
Been looking at this one. What kind would you recommend for foam for washing vehicles. Thanks
hello ! regarding the active VE52 pressure washer ( simoniz platinum in canada ), i am looking to put a quick connect fitting between the wand & wand extension. can you kindly provide me with a direct link to the parts that i require. twice now i've ordered & received the wrong parts. i hope not to repeat the same mistake. cheers & thank you kindly !
🤣🤣🤣🤣 the Matty sip count!!!!! That made my day!
“Well Matt, I knew it” lmao 🤣😂
So what is the noise level of Active VE52 compared to KT1700 (3:20)?
I just recently purchased the Kranzle 1122TST washing solution. First box already arrived with upgraded wand inlet hose and foam cannon. Just impatiently waiting for the pressure washer now. I’m sure customs to 🇨🇦 will hold it up.
What is the voltage on this? I’m in New Zealand where it’s 240v. Options here for a good entry level pressure washer like this are rare
Love it when Uncle Matty starts acting like Bruce Wilis in Armageddon. Just tossing junk to the side while repeating "don't need this"!
I have had this pressure washer washer for a year. As soon as we buy our next house this year, I can't wait to punt this thing into the woods like an IK foamer, and get set up with a Kranzle unit. It's an ok entry level set up, but it's nothing to aspire to have.
I know this is an old video but I’ve been using a 1.1 orifice in my foam cannon for 2 years now with my active/Simoniz pressure washer if you didn’t already know Simoniz is the Canadian version made by active
OMG, I love this version of Matt!
interested in doing a wall mount with this unit. Since the output is on the back and won't neatly fit up against the wall, do you have a solution like an elbow to route the hose off to the side?
We have an elbow on the site.
This has been my favorite Ucle Matty video . 😆 🤣 😂
I’ve had this bad boy for about 8 months and I can tell you for the price it’s the best pressure I’ve had yet.
same
@@RonH465 I haven’t had a issue with mine. Maybe it might be your GFCI.
Haven't watched an OG vid in some time, but sarcasm and cynical Matt aside, you sound good. Less stressed, more leveled out. This pressure washer seems to be a winner. Best bet would be the ultimate accessories with this unit. Accessories will outlast the unit, and migrate nicely as you upgrade to the next tier washer.
What’s the loudness/noise level of this VE52? I don’t see it on the spreadsheet.
The mosmatic with the swivel is awesome, I bought mine over a year ago and upgraded my hose, about 100ft or more of. Between my gun, wand, hose, hardware, foamer with quick disconnect, I could have bought my pressure washer a few times. LOL
I'm on my 2nd unit and starting to think that these are not compatible with Di Water. The brand new replacement unit I just received, immediately started the surging issue as soon as I turned on the Di-Water.. Did you guys perform any of your testing with Di Water?
I'm on my second unit also with the same surging. Active now claims that I'm using it for commercial purposes with zero evidence. "Hello,
Based on your response it is deemed that this unit is used commercially. We have specified that the unit is only used for residential purposes and is void of warranty for any commercial application.
Best Regards,
Customer Support."
Both units lasted about 5 washes then started surging on and off, look them up on Amazon and you'll see many reviews with the same issue, it isn't the DI water. Do not buy this piece of shit washer
My little 2000 psi green works has run for two years with your 100ft hose and gun setup been super impressed with a cheapy that’s not meant for commercial work lol 😎
Will the VE52 work in a gravity-fed mobile setup from a tank?
Do you have pressure washers in stock under 500 bucks? I can't find any that are available
Any issues with this unit needing cooldown after only 5 minutes of use? Mine needs a 10min cooldown after 5 min of continuous use. I think i got a dud.
Today I learned I’m smart because I can disconnect a quick coupler 🤣
Hey matt i need a good machine that is very quiet since i detail cars at my home and got appartement in my bloc.So witch machine in general would you recommend?
Thanks you
Kranzle K1622 is the quietest machine.
My cheapy Karcher has been going for at least 20 years now and I'll keep running it until sparks start flying out of it!
I've had my Karcher forever too!
Chevy cavalier versus a Porsche with a boxer engine has to be the best comparison I have ever heard in my life! Maddie keep up the good work!
By far, my favorite episode!!!!!
Mine gets 850 PSI with a 4.0 nozzle. I don't know the GPM but thinking about getting 3.5's to get closer to 1,000 PSI as the included 3.7's get to about 900 PSI. Good idea? Bad idea?
I’m in need of a pressure washer as I just got the Ford Mustang Mach e and haven’t washed yet. Matt.. I’m hearing mixed reviews on the VE52 as well as the new Active 2.0 coming soon. Idk what to get or to just wait for the active 2.0. I’m also hearing not to use the VE52 with a 50 ft hose. Please help me out. Wanting to spend no more than $400 for power washer
Had to come back to this video for the rants lol. This is peak Matt 😂😂😂
