The following charts are provided to show you at a glance how the main specs of the Sun Joe SPX3001 compare to the AR Blue Clean AR390SS.
- Pressure: With very similar maximum reachable pressures (2030 PSI for the Sun Joe SPX3001 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 SPX3001 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.

Whether you choose the Sun Joe SPX3001 or the AR Blue Clean AR390SS, you'll be able to store your cleaning chemicals in the unit's onboard soap tank. However, as the AR Blue Clean AR390SS can hold 0.38 gal of cleaning solution, it benefits from a bigger detergent tank than the Sun Joe SPX3001 and its 0.32 gal tank.
