ANOTHER pressure washer discussion

[mnehls86]

I`ve been using the AR 383 for a few years now. It`s been a fine unit for my needs. I will say AR Customer Service is very good and responsive to my emails/ questions etc.

Thanks for chiming in Angus. I was pretty sure you were the one that brought this brand to my attention originally but couldn`t remember for sure. I`m also looking at the little baby Ryobi ones at home depot. I like how small it is and low to the ground but I guess if I get the longer hose I shouldn`t have much to worry about.

Sure thing man! Upgrading to a longer hose regardless of brand / model is a good idea. In total, I`m using 50ft of hose and don`t have any issues with reduced pressure. Yes, it`s a small PIA to coil back up afterwards but it`s easier than moving the PW around while in use.

For any others who might still be researching, here`s a site to look over. The dude also has a YouTube channel, I believe.

I just added this to my wishlist, I really want one now due to how slick it looks,the size is ideal for mobile jobs and the attachments are neatly placed in it. Thanks for sharing this!

I really like the size for the same reason. The attachments is another nice plus. The right angle nozzle can come in handy for wheel whells (maybe) and are put in place pretty well.

And, you`re welcome

edit Just to add, Migue from the little I`ve looked, you won`t be able to attach a regular foam cannon to this. Not yet anyway?

[Migue]

I noticed that as well after checking the details. Not too much of a deal breaker for me. I did notice AR Blue has a couple of compact ones for right at $100 and since I already own a couple of accessories, I might stay with the AR Blue line for now.

That one in the video looks really slick and neat .

The little AR Blue 112 that I got for Christmas in 2014 continues to give good service. That`s a *LOT* more service that I ever got out of any of my numerous Karchers. I did have to replace the hose once though.

Perfect for doing the vehicles, though hopelessly underpowered for my version of household work. I gather my wife got it for next-to-nothing, so even if it dies tomorrow I got her money`s worth out of it long ago.

Wish I could find an adaptor so I could use my Karcher attachments on it...eh, haven`t really looked into that to be honest.

No, I haven`t tried a foamer attachment on it (only one I have is, IIRC, for Karchers).

I`ve only used my AR Blue 390ss once and I like it fine. There is not much storage space for nozzles, but that is not a big deal. I ordered the AR Blue foam lance from their site. I was going to buy one here, but I just couldn`t figure out which fitting I needed to make the Autopia one work. The foam lance should be here in a few days and if anyone wants to know how it works just pm me.

[rlmccarty2000]

Update on the foam lance and the AR 390SS. I love both of them! The AR Blue foam lance is a beauty and made in Italy, not China. It is made with some fine, heavy brass and puts out a heavy thick foam (using Reset). Very happy with the total purchase. I would suggest this combo to anyone looking for a PW/foam lance combo.

Which karcher did you have?

Check out Greenworks at Lowes, I`ve had my 1600 for two years now and it still works great. They have a 2000 with a reel for the hose, if I could justify the money, I would buy it, but my old one works great still.

I forget the model exactly. It was 1800psi with no hose reel. Think it was an x series or something and cost around $200
