Power Comparison
- Fuel: Both units are electric pressure washers.
- Engine & Pump: The Sun Joe SPX3000 and the AR Blue Clean AR2N1 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 AR2N1 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 AR2N1.
- Pressure: With very similar maximum reachable pressures (2030 PSI for the Sun Joe SPX3000 and 2050 PSI for the AR Blue Clean AR2N1), 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 AR2N1. It can deliver up to 1.76 GPM (gallons per minute), whereas the AR Blue Clean AR2N1 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 3572.8 C.U. (Cleaning Units = PSI x GPM), the Sun Joe SPX3000 offers a much higher overall cleaning efficiency than the AR Blue Clean AR2N1 and its 2870 C.U.
Design Comparison
- Design: With its compact, portable design, the Sun Joe SPX3000 will be the better option if you consider portability, mobility, and ease of storage as important factors, as the AR Blue Clean AR2N1 can be considered less mobile, with a hand truck design. The AR Blue Clean AR2N1 has an interesting design feature, as the power unit can be detached from the frame in order to transform it into a convenient, hand-carry, portable device. Additionnaly, the AR Blue Clean AR2N1 is wall-mountable, which is handy if you wish to regularly clean the same area.
- Weight: Weighing 23.4 lbs, the SPX3000 is far lighter than the 36.4 lbs of the AR2N1.
- Maneuverability: Both products benefit from a set of wheels, which greatly contributes to their maneuverability. The Sun Joe SPX3000 has a standard handle and the AR Blue Clean AR2N1 a foam-padded handle, both of which aid in maneuvering.
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 AR2N1. 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: Out of the box, the AR Blue Clean AR2N1 and the Sun Joe SPX3000 both come with a 5-nozzle package, each including a 0°, a 15°, a 25°, and a soap nozzle. However, the former adds a turbo nozzle, while the latter offers a 40° nozzle.
- Reach: With its included 25 ft high-pressure hose, the AR Blue Clean AR2N1 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 AR2N1 both offer onboard storage that allows you to neatly keep the accessories you need at hand. Both washers feature a set of hooks to help you neatly store their high pressure hoses when not in use.
