If you use the search feature at the top of this page, and enter the names of each pump separtly, you will be overwhelmed with the answers you get. Even then it will still be a personal decision.

I have them both. They are both good pumps.

My flojet shoots just a hair further. Its the newer of the two pumps though.

They both need to be rinsed after use.

The flojet is cheaper.

I have used the search button but still wanted to hear current opinions. I agree the search button is a nice feature and have spent more time using it than posting but right now I am working wide open and still trying to balance family time and just wanted a fairly quick answer without sitting up all night again reading. Some people are to quick to say use the search button just as some people are to quick to ask instead of using it.

I've noticed that open ended questions are browsed over more than specific ones. You might try re-wording a question, or asking a more specific question;

Which pump is better? (open ended question)
Has anyone compared the performance of these two pumps? (comparative performance questions)

Just my thoughts...

Nice Jo!

Have not used the flo jet yet, so can't compare. It seems that the AOD pumps all slow down a little after a few months of use from gunk buildup in the valve chamber.

This is quite a tough question. Its like asking which is better, Ford or Chevy. Some will say one for one reason and the other for another. I've read some posts where guys say they've have to shot some WD 40 into the air chamber when it jams up. Other than that its seems to work well. I believe All Flo has 3/8 outlets. I went with the Flo Jet because it was cheaper, had 1/2" outlet, and Bob from Pressure Tek stands behind it. But I dont think its been around as long as the All Flo. Bob just started selling them a few months ago. I've cleaned roughly 35 roofs with it so far and it still ticks like a Swiss watch, and unless someone comes to Jersey with an All Flo with the same exact compressor set at the same exact psi, we'll never know which one shoots further.

without experience you are not able to say that which is better thing?

I think all flow would be a better choice for you as it offers many advantages given below:-

1- It is Lube-Free, Non-Stall, Non-Freeze Air Systems
2- It is All Plastic Air Systems
3- It is Air Efficient
4- It has Modular Design
5- It is Reliable and Easy to Maintain
