Power Comparison
- Fuel: Both units are electric pressure washers.
- Engine & Pump: The AR Blue Clean AR390SS and the AR Blue Clean AR2N1 both use an axial-type pump to put water under pressure. These 2 pumps are manufactured by Annovi Reverberi. In either case, the pump is powered by a 13-amp Universal motor.
The following charts are provided to show you at a glance how the main specs of the AR Blue Clean AR390SS compare to the AR Blue Clean AR2N1.
- Pressure: With very similar maximum reachable pressures (2000 PSI for the AR Blue Clean AR390SS 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: These 2 units offer the same maximum water flow. Each of them should be able to deliver a maximum of 1.4 GPM (gallons per minute) and to offer the same rinsing power.
- Cleaning Power: As the difference in Cleaning Units between the AR Blue Clean AR390SS and the AR2N1 (2800 and 2870 C.U., respectively) can be considered negligible, we can say that both theses devices share the same overall cleaning efficiency.
Design Comparison
- Design: With its compact, portable design, the AR Blue Clean AR390SS 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: At 31.1 lbs, the AR390SS is somewhat 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 AR390SS has a standard handle and the 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. Whether you choose the AR390SS or the AR2N1, you'll be able to store your cleaning chemicals in the unit's onboard soap tank. However, as the AR390SS can hold 0.38 gal of cleaning solution, it benefits from a bigger detergent tank than the AR2N1 and its 0.2 gal tank.
- 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°, soap, and turbo nozzles, but the nozzle similarities stop here. The AR2N1 also has a 15° nozzle.
- 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 AR Blue Clean AR2N1 and its 25 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 AR390SS and AR2N1 both offer onboard storage that allows you to neatly keep the accessories you need at hand. The AR2N1 features a set of hooks to neatly store its pressure hose. However, the AR390SS pushes the convenience further by offering a hose reel.
