Kranzle K1322TS vs. Active 2.0

The Contenders

If you’re looking at electric pressure washers that punch above their weight, these two often come up. On one end, you’ve got the Kranzle K1322TS, a premium German-built unit. On the other, the Active 2.0, a budget-friendly option that delivers surprising performance.

Let’s compare the two based on real-world testing.

The Performance

This one’s interesting.

The Active 2.0 delivers slightly more flow (2.12 GPM vs. 1.97 GPM)
The K1322TS hits higher pressure (1010 PSI vs. 750 PSI)
Cleaning units? The K1322 still wins: 1990 vs. 1590

You’ll get more “volume” with the Active, but the Kranzle gives you more usable cleaning power, especially for rinsing or using attachments.

Winner K1322

The Sound

The Active 2.0 is louder at 72 dB vs. 68 dB for the K1322. That’s a noticeable difference if you're working indoors or late at night.

Winner - K1322

The Build

This isn’t even close. The K1322 is built like a tank—metal fittings, industrial-grade pump, replaceable components. The Active 2.0 is a plastic-bodied consumer machine, great for the price, but not in the same league.

Winner - K1322

The Price

Here’s where the Active 2.0 makes its case:

Active 2.0: $350
K1322TS: $1122

You can buy three Actives for the price of one Kranzle. If your budget is tight, the Active gives you serious performance at a fraction of the cost.

Winner - Active

Power & Compatibility

Both machines pull similar amps under load, but the Active 2.0 can run on a standard 15A outlet, no problem. The K1322 starts tripping breakers when paired with a foam cannon unless you’re on a 20A circuit.

Winner - Active

The Foam Cannon Game

The Active flows more GPM, but at lower pressure. The Kranzle hits the sweet spot of pressure and flow, delivering thicker, denser foam. That matters if you’re picky about your pre-wash.

Winner - K1322

Final Thoughts

If you want top-of-the-line durability, serviceability, and consistent performance, the K1322TS is the easy choice.

If you’re just getting started or want a backup machine that still delivers strong performance, the Active 2.0 punches way above its price tag.

Here’s the breakdown:

Go Kranzle if: you care about build quality, noise, longevity, and high-end results
Go Active if: you want serious GPM, can live with lower pressure, and want to spend under $400

Both have a place. It just depends on what you’re after.
