Great timing. I was just looking at PW`s yesterday and in this price range. May have to do this if I can get a $200 PW for $120. Thanks!!

Great price! Which fitting did you use to connect a foam cannon?

I don`t know about you guys, but I`ve had enough pressure washers (~6) fail on me that I make sure I buy from a brick & mortar store so I can take them back, because they have always broken within the 1 year warranty.

Then I spent $$$ on a really good one ( 1.8 GPM @ 1,200 PSI Electric Pressure Washer | Princess Auto (http://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/1-8-gpm-1-200-psi-electric-pressure-washer/A-p5790114e) ) and it`s lasted me 10 years.

Good question, Vega. AR sells a MTM foam cannon on their site that comes with their fitting attached. Or you can buy just the fitting from them:

AR Foamer Cannon Adapter (http://www.arblueclean.com/Products/blue-clean-foam-cannon-adapter-154.cfm)

Do you guys carry anything that matches it?

$800! Wow. I`m sure that one rocks. But for weekend hacks like me, I`ll just buy a new one whenever my AR 383 fails.

I find that all my pressure washers that have plastic bits inside never last the winter, heh. Guess that`s my problem living in Canada without indoor storage.

Yeah, sorry to hear - indoor storage or using a "pump saver" is key if you live in a Northern climate. I move my AR 383 indoors between uses during the cold months so any leftover water doesn`t freeze/ break internal parts. So far so good after 2 brutally cold winters!

That`s a good deal IMO, something well worth buying. Looks fancier than mine, probably higher specs too (didn`t take note of the claims for mine).

StupmyDetailing- heh heh, I was so frustrated by my expensive pressure washers dying that I went the *opposite* direction; instead of another expensive one, I got a really *REALLY* cheap one for Christmas and it`s already paid for itself (well, I mean it would`ve had I paid for it..). My wife *did* buy it (online) from Lowe`s though, figuring that it`d die on me.

Isn`t there *some* way to handle the indoor storage of the thing? I mean, like...stick it in a closet or something.

Hmmm....tempting

Ive beat up my AR 383 for 3 seasons now doing mobile jobs, and it still works like brand new. Its the best "cheap" power washer Ive ever used.

Sweet. I pulled the trigger on this one today. Sounds like you guys are getting some good years out of it. Fortunately I have plenty of basement space for the winter so I`m sure it will last a while.

I saw this on Amazon (not exactly what`s in your link above) when I purchased the PW. Included a couple fittings and the bottle with foam nozzle. $59 or so.

Nice! I have thier foam cannon too - it`s made by MTM. You may want to consider picking up the 25ft ext hose, having the extra length comes in handy when working around cars, cleaning siding, driveways etc...
