hi guys in today's video we're going to be taking an exclusive look at a brand
new pressure washer from arva now to keep you up to speed with the previous video we covered
the p70 and within that video I was blown away by most of its features however there
were a couple of niggly issues for example the eight meter hose simply wasn't quite long enough
and then we had the foam Cannon brilliant quality foam but it was getting through too
much products and I told arva this but boy did they come back with a response [Music]
welcome to the newest member of the arva family explore an easier way of cleaning
and say goodbye to compromising on a budget say hello to the new easy P57
okay so let's take a look at some of the features for starters it's called the easy which means
Arthur's main focus here is practicality and you'll find that it's an ultra lightweight Sleek
portable design and it's compact so you can move it to various locations which means that
this pressure washer is a lot more manageable than some of the larger models the shape of it
looks more pleasing too and it looks more tidier than the smart p60 the next thing that I have to
draw your attention to is the new handles and hand placements here look at this talk about
thinking about absolutely everything I mean it's a light machine anyway but come on just
doing that alone is easy that's a really clever design but if you think this handle is good
wait do you see this one we're going to tilt the machine press the button in pull it out fold it
within seconds we now have another handle and you can move it around it's simply brilliant
if anything other should have called this one the evolution and it gets better because the
days of short hoses are a thing of the past as this particular model boasts a whopping 12
meter flexi hose so it's looking pretty good for the P57 but now I want to take a look at
some of the accessories that are included with this bundle so we're going to start off with the
trigger now as you could probably tell it's a slightly slim down lighter version compared to
the one feature with the p70 and as always it's going to connect up to your Lance and it's the
extendable Lance that you will find with all the other premium models as well which means
you are not missing out you also get two nozzles you get your patio nozzle and you get your vario
nozzle and that basically gives you a couple of different settings for when you're washing your
car if you want a wider fan or a narrow fan or you can have both at the same time you also get
a slim down patio tool which yet again means it's lighter and easier to store away for those of you
detailers out there or people who enjoy washing your cars you can relax because I finally got rid
of the Old Cannon and they're giving us a premium spec foam Cannon it's going to perform exactly the
same way that you would get with this one however you're going to get a smaller Beaker that is the
only difference the quality of the foam is still going to be there and the consumption is going
to be bang on so it's not going to be wasting any product either and in the previous videos
I've been using a premium foam Cannon and it produces a nice thick blanket of foam which
can easily compete with more of the expensive cannons so this is just fantastic news for those
Weekend Warriors who just want to give their car a deeper clean but they don't want to Fork
out on an additional Cannon because it all adds up in the long run but anyway it's time to get
this outside and put it to the test with a quick wash on a VW Golf and I think the thing I'm most
curious about is the hose because this is a first for arva all the previous models before came with
a still reinforced hose and this is just a flexi hose but it doesn't necessarily mean it won't be
as good before you use any pressure washer it's always a good idea to run the water through the
hose without the trigger on and this is just to remove any possible risk of airlocks once the
system was clear and the hose was fully unraveled I tried to yank on it to see how the teeth would
grip into the concrete and despite its lightweight design it did a good job to be fair with the first
test sorted it's time to get connected and switch it on and I had a few requests in my
other videos asking me to demonstrate the sound of the pressure washer so here it goes [Music]
the first part of the claim was on the wheels and I'm using the narrow 20 degree setting here
just to shift off some of the worst of the dirt another awesome feature with all the models is
the Quick Connect you can easily turn a normal standard Lance into a stubby gun in the matter
of seconds and this meant that I could tackle the wheel arches with no problems too this VW Golf had
a citrus pre-wash prior to the pressure washer hence the added bytes you can see in the footage
when the water hits the panels but honestly I was impressed with how powerful it was and for most of
you especially the Weekend Warriors out there this would definitely be plenty good enough as always
the extendable Lance is a real game changer as it saves you time Reaching Across the other side of
the car and it reduces the risk of getting wet as you can keep a safe enough distance from the
splashback however I know some of you just love a stubby gun and it does have its place especially
with things like the door shuts I also thought I'd take this opportunity to try out the angled Lance
and the flexi Lance for The Underneath so now I want you to try something a little bit different
with a foam Cannon as I've already featured the premium model in the past few videos so
I thought this time round I'd see how it would work if I use car shampoo instead of snow foam
and there is another reason why I've done this because I want to show you Weekend Warriors out
there but you don't need every single chemical for each job you can get away with using car
shampoo as a cheaper alternative so I managed to get around the whole car twice before I ran out
of shampoo and I wasn't exactly rushing around either so for most of you you'll probably only
use around half a bottle per car on average maybe slightly less if you got a good Rhythm
for rinsing the shampoo or foam off the car I recommend switching to the 60 degree nozzle as
it covers more space in a quicker time and if you clean soft tops then I recommend taking off
the nozzles altogether so it just trickles out to the Lance just to avoid causing any damage
whilst I'm just washing this car I thought I'd quickly point out these cool buckets
because they got grit guards inside that fold up so you can store away your bottles
and they also come with a lid which has been designed to be used as a step as well as a
tool for car cleaning it's fair to say the P57 has performed brilliantly but we also
have a new lighter patio tool to try and because it's lighter you will notice that
it practically Glides along the surface a bit like a hovercraft and it was plenty good enough
outside the unit but any tougher spots were easily tackled with the smaller patio nozzle
the thing about patio cleaning is it can take an awfully long time for some of you
so having a decent trigger is essential and this zero Force Trigger could be the answer
you're looking for so let me explain so basically after a prolonged period of time you are going to
suffer the occasional achy hand using a normal trigger however to compensate that avra giving
you a second trigger and it's this little black one here so when you release the green handle
you'll keep your finger on the black one and now we have full control of all the water coming out
with one finger instead of using four fingers so all in all I thought this was a well-built
well-rounded machine now when you compare it to the likes of say a Karcher K5 on paper it's going
to have the same bar pressure and it's going to have the same flow rate and not only have
they matched it they've obliterated it with all these different accessories when you look
at the patio cleaner the premium foam Cannon the extendable Lance the stubby gun and the 12
meter hose it's simply unbeatable but Arthur have still not stopped there because now they've gone
for something a little bit different if you find that this is out of your price range it's slightly
over budget they now make a cheaper version of this being the easy P40 now you're going to find
that you get all the same accessories that you would with this one the only difference
is you're going to get less flow rate and you're going to get a lower bar pressure so look I know
that the P57 is definitely no p70 but it's a lot closer than you think and I'm not talking about
the power and the flow rate or anything like that we're going to put that to one side for
a minute because they make up for it in so many other ways for example the P57 weighs half of the
p70 also the hose on the P57 is 12 meters the hose on the p70 is 8 meters and you know what
I don't care if this is a flexi hose because I had no problems with it whatsoever we then talk about
the foam Cannon you get a basic foam cannon with the p70 you then get a premium cannon with a p
57 you can see where I'm going here it's not all about power and performance it's
about the whole all-rounded package and this is why I like the P57 anyway if you are on
the lookout for a brand new pressure washer and you want to perhaps try an arva or an ill-fisk
or even a Karcher then I have a dedicated playlist that you can go and watch right here
