- pinpoint spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, accessing high areas, and successfully removing stubborn stains
- applying detergents or chemicals, and rinsing surfaces afterward
The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics and design, its main features and all the additional features it has to offer.
Power
Powered by a 13-amp universal motor, its axial pump can deliver a pressure of 2000 PSI (around 33 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.4 GPM (values as per CSA testing standards). With these values combined, the AR Blue Clean AR390SS boasts a cleaning power of 2800 Cleaning Units.
As an electric pressure washer, the AR390SS's motor is effortlessly activated with a simple ON/OFF switch, ensuring convenient operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
Designed for on-the-go use, the AR Blue Clean AR390SS offers a portable design and approximate dimensions of D13.8 x W15.3 x H35.5 in to facilitate easy movement. The handle adds to the AR390SS convenience of transport.
With a weight of only 31.1 lbs, this lightweight unit is effortlessly portable, making it ideal for tasks that require frequent movement or transport around your home or property. This is, in part, thanks to its plastic frame, which allows it to remain as lightweight as possible. Enhancing its already lightweight design, the unit boasts two wheels, making transportation effortless.
Main Features
The AR Blue Clean AR390SS comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: A removable 0.38 gal tank ensures storage for detergent within the pressure washer. The detergent dilution ratio can be manually selected, using a dial. The pressure washer automatically dispenses and mixes the detergent with the water when a soap nozzle is attached.
- Pressure hose: Utilizing a convenient hose reel, which also improves its lifespan, the unit offers a convenient solution for storing the included 30 ft high-pressure hose when it's not in use, keeping it neatly organized.
- Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its zinc-coated wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: The following table provides information on the 4 included nozzles and their recommended surface uses.

- The AR Blue Clean AR390SS and its 2000 PSI, ranks amongst electric pressure washers with a comparably low pressure output, considering the units that cost between $255 and $300. If you're seeking the strongest water stream, look no further than the Westinghouse WPX3000e, which delivers an impressive 3000 PSI.
- As this washer can produce a flow of water of 1.4 GPM (gallons per minute), it is average in terms of water volume for the above-mentioned price range.
