Absolutely love my Kia. Been going strong for 2 yrs now. I was like you. Hadn't owned a PW for years and when I did I remember they wouldn't last. I did some research, certainly saw plenty of Matt's videos and no way was I spending that much, just me.
This thing has been great and does the job perfect. Good luck.

Like Matt I too have been though a lot of equipment. I ended up with the higher power and turn it down. Hes correct that the 1122 is the one and I would suggest you get his package and forget about all the trouble of going though what I have.
In all fairness I did mine before Matt was doing this.

Kranzel 1122TST for sure. Do your homework....it can be found online at varying prices. You will want to add the Stubby handle however (I never use the long wands).

Thanks for all the input. At this point, I can't imagine spending that much on a pressure washer to wash my cars. May have to rethink things.
Anyone use a foam cannon with just a hose, rather than pressure washer?

foam cannon works better with presure washer.
i have a krenzel. $$$
but if there's a way to break things, i will break it. very very few products i cannot break. krenzel is still good 4 years in.

Kränzle rules
Comment from Germany: Kränzle is Porsche in terms of pressure washers. Build pro-sumer and pro devices only, no DIY-store crap with toy pumps. Comparably small company but estabsished among car enthusiasts. They do offer also pro-sumer grade devices with three phases electric motors, which at least over here in Germany is quite unique in this segment. (Of course not necessary for car-washing only, but nice not having to borrow the beast all the time as most guys are lacking the three phase power socket )

As an alternative - I find that waterless car wash spray like the green Griots stuff works great. No substitute for wiping the dirt off with a towel. But I suppose it's not as much fun!

It's a Simpson mini brute to, electric pump with a diesel fired hot water heater., Pressure is under 1500 which I think is fine for cars although I have a big 4500 psi gas powered for the heavy heavy work
This is what I've been using as I actually like warm to hot water when I'm washing a lot of my equipment, I never thought I get as good of a wash with cold water. Price is right and it's been going strong, I looked at Krazel but The heated models were way too bulky....
My brother lives in Germany and he says that Karcher also has a nice pro Sumer models that are popular, bigger company.

I lived with the hose and foam cannon for a while before I gave into the inevitable and ordered the system from Matt.
