UserID: 454 |  Range Test #2: MXL 01, MX 01, MX 03, Monster 01 Before I start, if you haven't read the range test #1 yet featuring the CPS2000s, CPS2500 and K-Modded soakers, then go here: Range Test #1 Now having siad that, lets start with: Range Tests #2 - Testing the Monsters Monster 2001 = 8.5X : 30 feet 4X : 35 feet 2.5X : 32 feet Fan: 25 feet Monster X 2003 = 11.5X : 40 feet 8.5X : 35 feet 5X : 37 feet Fan : 30 feet Aquaburst : 35 feet Shower : 25 feet Monster X 2001 = 11.5X : 35 feet 8.5X : 30 feet 5X : 30 feet Fan : 25 feet Aquaburst : 28 feet Shower : 30 feet Monster XL 2001 = (Singe nozzle) 11.5X : 40 feet 8.5X : 41 feet 5X : 35 feet Fan : 30 feet Aquaburst : 35 feet Shower : 30 feet (Dual Nozzle) 11.5X/11.5X : 40 feet 8.5X/8.5X : 35 feet 5X/5X : 35 feet Fan/Fan : 28 feet Aquaburst/Aquaburst : 30 feet Please keep in mind that the "X" rating used is the official output. The actual output on all 4 are slightly larger, with the Monster XL and both Monster Xs having 13-14X on their 11.5X nozzle. The Monster 01 and Monster X 01 results where somewhat expected. What suprised me where the Monster XL 01 and Monster X 03 ranges on their 11.5X nozzles reaching 40 feet. I have used 7 MXLs including 2001 and 2003 models. The truth is that the Monster XL performance is a crapshoot when guess what the distance will be. Sometimes you have good distance like 40 feet on one model, and sometimes you get sucky distance of 25 feet on other models. Clearly the model used here is above average in performance, and if you get a 40 feet shooter MXL, then its certainly underated and deserves abit more respect than what it usualy gets among experienced users, who might I say overate other soakers also.(The CPS 1500 ain't better than the CPS 2500.) To top it all of, here are some pictures:    |
