As the AR Blue Clean AR390SS and the Sun Joe SPX3000 have different manufacturers, their overall build and technology in use can vary.

Power Comparison

  • Fuel: Both units are electric pressure washers.
  • Engine & Pump: The Sun Joe SPX3000 and the AR Blue Clean AR390SS both use an axial-type pump to put water under pressure. The latter's pump is manufactured by Annovi Reverberi. The Sun Joe SPX3000's pump is powered by a 14.5-amp motor, while the AR Blue Clean AR390SS uses a 13-amp motor. Both motors are of the Universal type.

The following charts are provided to show you at a glance how the main specs of the Sun Joe SPX3000 compare to the AR Blue Clean AR390SS.

  • Pressure: With very similar maximum reachable pressures (2030 PSI for the Sun Joe SPX3000 and 2000 PSI for the AR Blue Clean AR390SS), both devices should do an equally good job at lifting and blasting off dirt.
  • Water Flow: When operating at low pressure, the Sun Joe SPX3000 can generate a much higher maximum volume of water than the AR Blue Clean AR390SS. It can deliver up to 1.76 GPM (gallons per minute), whereas the AR Blue Clean AR390SS offers a maximum water flow of 1.4 GPM. The former should thus allow you to rinse away dirt and debris with significantly better efficiency and speed.
  • Cleaning Power: With its 2800 C.U., the AR Blue Clean AR390SS offers a much higher overall cleaning efficiency than the Sun Joe SPX3000 and its 1798 C.U.

Design Comparison

  • Design: With their compact design, both units are constructed with a strong focus on portability in mind.
  • Weight: Weighing 23.4 lbs, the SPX3000 is far lighter than the 31.1 lbs of the AR390SS.
  • Maneuverability: Both products benefit from a set of wheels, which greatly contributes to their maneuverability. Both offer a handle, which improves your grip when you wish to move them.

Feature Comparison

  • Soap Addition: Both washers allow for the addition of chemical detergent solutions to the water. For that, the Sun Joe SPX3000 has an advantage over the AR Blue Clean AR390SS. The latter offers a single soap tank, whereas the former benefits from a dual soap tank system that lets you easily store and use 2 different cleaning solutions.
  • Trigger Gun & Wand: Each of these 2 units comes with a fairly standard ergonomic trigger gun and a classic wand.
  • Nozzles: Both pressure washers come with 0°, 25°, and soap nozzles, but the nozzle similarities stop here. The AR Blue Clean AR390SS adds a turbo nozzle, while the Sun Joe SPX3000's set includes 15° and 40° nozzles.
  • Reach: With its included 30 ft high-pressure hose, the AR Blue Clean AR390SS will allow you, out of the box, to move farther away from the unit than the Sun Joe SPX3000 and its 20 ft high pressure hose. As both units feature a 35 ft power cord, their maximum allowable placement from an electrical outlet is the same.
  • Storage: The SPX3000 and AR390SS both offer onboard storage that allows you to neatly keep the accessories you need at hand. The SPX3000 features a set of hooks to neatly store its pressure hose. However, the AR390SS pushes the convenience further by offering a hose reel.
  • Accessories: In addition to the usual set of included accessories, the Sun Joe SPX3000 also comes with a garden hose adapter.
