- This video isn’t meant to be a negative review of the Active 2.0 pressure washer, or Active as a brand. If anything, I want people to learn from my mistakes and invest in the proper equipment needed to make sure this amazing machine lasts longer than 10 months.
I really have enjoyed this pressure washer. It performs well, it’s simple, and it’s light and compact. If I had the chance I would use it again. Please don’t let this review keep you from buying an Active 2.0 if you’re on the fence. The product is great, I’m an idiot.
Also, if you buy directly from Active they offer free shipping and no sales tax (US residents only I think).

Better option would be get a better hose like mtm and get a hose reel that would solve the heaviness and would be less cumbersome. Congrats on your first baby
I researched the MTM hose. I was able to find a good one on Amazon that was steel braided so I bought that one. One day I’d like to have a pressure washer set up in my garage with a hose reel and all of the connections, but for now I’ll roll it up by hand.
Thanks for watching!
Yeah I bought an active and ran it with a flexzilla for a one wash and it was already acting like it didn't like it. I just went and ordered a kobrajet hose, its more cumbersome but it beats the pressure washer giving out early.
I’m glad someone has had a similar experience. It’s a good unit. It sucks I didn’t learn how to use it properly until after I broke it. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
Sorry to hear you are having warranty issues. I ordered the Active 2.0 and a 50’ uberflex hose. I believe many others tried this combination and experienced serious issues before Active issued guidance about using braded hoses. Luckily, I saw Keav’s review of the Active 2.3 and his comment about the uberflex hose causing the Active 2.0 to surge before I used my unit for the first time. Apparently, non-braded hoses cause the unit to surge. I never opened my uberflex hose and I will use the 25’ OEM hose until a new 50’ steel braded hose arrives.
I’m so happy for you that you discovered Keav’s review before you used the system. It’s a good unit but (like with most things) you need to use it properly to get the most out of it. Unfortunately I didn’t discover this until too late. Thanks for watching!
@@thedrivewaydetailer I hope Active will help you out and send a replacement unit. Best wishes to you and your wife!
Thanks!
I think all the people running the non steel braided hoses better switch it for a proper hose. I ran my karcher k1700 with a 75ft kobra jet so when i upgraded to the 2.0 i was already good.
I’m already looking at an obsessed garage hose to replace my non steel braided hose. It’s good you already had the proper equipment. I’ll probably end up buying a new 2.0 if customer service doesn’t send another unit. Hopefully using the unit with the proper equipment will give it some longevity. Buying a new unit may be a waste of money, but I did a hose wash yesterday and it was the worst. I hated it. Anyway, thanks for commenting and watching!
I hope someone can help U figure out where the serial number is located. I never heard of anyone having trouble with a pressure washer because of the brand hose they used. I think
the unit just went bad. They should have had you ship the unit to them and replaced it. If that's the way their customer service is going to be I won't be buying a unit from Active.
The jury’s still out on customer service for me. I’ve only sent one email and had one very short phone call. I’m going to call them and try to get things figured out on Monday so I’ll see what the customer service experience is like. The serial number thing does bother me though. Thanks for watching!
Thinking you gamed the system by buying a cheap Amazon hose is the message. There are no magic beans, fairy dust or unicorns. I hate that you bought an Active thinking it was an upgrade over a cube. Most have had similar experience with Active. They seem more focused on marketing than product build quality. The mid-lower tier machine still isn't out there. Unless unicorn chasing is the thrill. That being said, I just ordered the EGO unit because I do a bunch of different type vehicles at the owners' locations and I don't drag my Kranzle around for foaming. So I may get bit as well.
I recently watched a couple of CZcams videos of people having problems with their ARBlue units also. You’re probably right. The only real long term solution is buying one of premium brands. If my life circumstances were different I’d probably pull the trigger on a Kranzle and be done with it. Hopefully your ego does well for you. Thanks for watching!
Is the serial number not on the product? Take a look...I'm sure it is there.
I’ve checked a few different times. The only thing I haven’t tried is unbolting the unit to see if it’s somewhere inside the unit. Thanks for watching!
