    The quietness is a huge benefit I hadn't thought of too.

    I have mine mounted in the garage.
    So usually, at like 6:30 on a beautiful Saturday morning in the summer, I flip the switch, get out the foam cannon, unreal the hose, and shut the garage door.

    All you hear is the sound of the water.
    Such a calming experience....

    I would also look at the Karcher Cube models, these have standard M22 fittings which will make upgrades easier. They don't match the Active 2.0 for GPM though.

    K2100 | Karcher Canada
    K1800 | Karcher Canada
    That’s the dilemma I’m in right now. About to purchase the Karcher 1700 cube but the Active 2.0 puts up great GPM numbers. It’s just hard to justify the price though.

    The active ve52 (v1) is still available at a reasonable price. With the savings you can get a nice hose and gun upgrade. I bought mine a year ago and I have no regrets.

    I actually prefer the small units I can place up on a shelf.

    Was looking at that one as well but a couple of small things turned me off, like the M22x15 fitting, the many issues I’ve read and then the fact that there’s a newer and better version.

    Ended up buying the Karcher K1700 cube and got the MTM SG28 handle, upgraded hose and QD’s to pair with my MTM cannon.

    Thank you! Still going to do more research on the VE52 since I can always return the Karcher but I feel like I made the right choice for my needs. The Karcher for being entry level got pretty decent praise by OG and even though I can’t say I like his personality, I respect his views.

    Pretty sure their rebranding their PW with Chinese alibaba stuff like they are their battery powered foamer.

    Looks awful same check out handle, wheels, knob, input has a brushless motor too I believe. $189 on big river… almost half price.
