Electric pressure washers

He does do 1 sale per year

We can just disagree. I've watched days of his videos. I've had anxiety issues that he has talked about so for me it has been awesome

I got my AR630TSS from him and cox reel, 100 ft hose etc

Its between Kranzle and AR and I am still trying to get the duty cycle on the AR motor/pump-the nice lady at the Kranzel Distributor was able to get me the info in just a few minutes-continuous duty on 2 hp and up, intermittent on all others, didn't want to try and get the specific on/off requirements, she mentioned that I was the only person ever to ask about this.

AR is proving to be very very difficult to get the info on but I will most probably go with this if and only if the motor/pump are Italian, otherwise its Kranzle.

If anyone can tell me about Comet it would be appreciated-noise, pump and motor type/brand and where made..

What is amazing to me is that no where is there a chart that lists various tasks and the cu required to get the job done, or at least I have yet to find this.

As for OG, its an informative site though I don't understand why someone as thorough as he doesn't list the duty cycles.

I don’t know what the duty cycle even means

It would seem that not many people do.

From fluke.com:

Duty cycle is the ratio of time a load or circuit is ON compared to the time the load or circuit is OFF.

Duty cycle, sometimes called "duty factor," is expressed as a percentage of ON time. A 60% duty cycle is a signal that is ON 60% of the time and OFF the other 40%.

All those shopping for a washer should keep the above in mind and also be aware that the off time is a requirement by the manufacturer of the motors/pumps.

In the context of using a pressure washer for detailing, I don’t see duty cycle as something that matters. In my use, my pressure washer pump isn’t in use for more than 3-5 minutes at most and that’s for the initial rinse or foam gun use before turning off.

If you were planning on using the pressure washer for driveways, decks, exterior house use, etc. then I could see duty cycle being important. But an electric pressure washer wouldn’t be something I would use for those purposes anyway.

I agree that a consumer using a washer for detailing has different needs than a business but if one is only going to use the washer for detailing family cars then -I- would question the need of a machine to begin with, again this is me. Going with a garden hose foam gun would get the job done and save water compared to using the bucket method. The added benefit is that significant dollars would be available for beer and pizza or a fairly significant investment in the brass market. Depending of course on which machine is under consideration.

The 'better' the cycle the more robust the components, the more robust the components the longer the service life , if I am going to drop the better part of 2 large I need to know the specs.

I do however 'overspend' on tools, purchasing only US and European products, usually German-70% of my hand tools, all the vacs and test equipment are from the EU/Germany. I own one Chinese made power tool the G9.
