I've been wanting a pressure washer for several years. I didn't want to have to deal with a gasoline powered one so I started looking at electric ones. I looked at several brands at big box stores and then went online to read reviews about them. My oh my were they bad!
I came across the AR BLUE Clean AR390SS on Amazon. I'd never heard of the company before... but then I wasn't a pressure washer aficionado either. After reading all the positive reviews and questions posted (over 400!), I decided to purchase the AR390SS.
I'm happy to report so far I am not disappointed. The AR390SS was delivered packed inside another box.
Features include: 2000psi, 1.4gpm, 30ft hose, 35ft cord with a GFCI plug, detergent tank, and 4 quick connect nozzles (soap, degree, 25 degree, and turbo).
It took me less than 10 minutes to assemble -- which involved attaching the spray gun holster (just slid down over a slot), the nozzle tray with one phillips-head screw, the stabilizer foot (another screw), and the garden hose adapter (which required a 5/16" or 8mm hex wrench). I had to borrow the hex wrench from a guy at work and now owe the fab shop a pan of brownies.
Doesn't it remind you of a little guy wearing a tuxedo? A very attractive machine, if I do say so myself!
At the back, there are little "arms" to hold three nozzles. The turbo nozzle has it's own holder.
The machine is compact and while it's a little hefty weight wise (about 35 lbs, I think), it's not difficult to move around on it's wheels.
Once the pressure hose was attached to the wand, and the garden hose attached to the front, it was time to see what the AR390SS could do! From the ground, I used the 0 degree attachment to clean the outside of my gutters. What a difference!
Then I used the soap nozzle to soap up the carpeting on my front and back steps/landings. Since I've never used a pressure washer with a soap dispenser, I wasn't sure what setting to use. At the medium setting, it seemed to use up the soap relatively quickly.
While letting the soap do it's "magic", I used the 25-degree nozzle to clean the windows. It did a fairly good job considering I only used water. Once the soap had soaked in, I switched to the turbo nozzle. Switching from one nozzle to another was fast and easy. The turbo nozzle did a great job of removing years of grime and crusted algae build up on the outdoor carpeting that covers my steps. Both areas look amazing!!
I LOVE my new toy! When I get time, I will try it on the car. :)
Until next time....

I could see where you could get addicted to your new power washer, Meari--such a difference in the before and after photos :) Have fun!!
Good for you! Looks great!
Well done with your new toy!
Looks like you have really been having fun! Congratulations on your successful purchase.
Be careful using it on the car. It will damage your paint and can actually remove parts, especially if its an older vehicle.
I LOVE power washing too! Did my patio and driveway, instant gratification.
