Description
Zoom on the AR Blue Clean MAXX3000
The AR Blue Clean MAXX3000, a heavy duty pressure washer, gives its user an all-around versatile cleaning experience, topped off by the following features:
- intense cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces
- use of detergent and cleaning solutions
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
Powered by a 15 amp motor, its aluminum axial (wobble plate) pump can deliver a pressure of 3000 PSI (around 50 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.3 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). Combined, these values mean that the AR Blue Clean MAXX3000 has a cleaning power of 3900 Cleaning Units.
The MAXX3000 is an electric pressure washer and thus, can be easily started by an ON/OFF switch. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
Thanks to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D21 x W18 x H35 in, the AR Blue Clean MAXX3000 offers great mobility. The strong metal frame assures assembly longevity. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the MAXX3000 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
Most users can maneuver this model easily, as it weighs just 55.3 lbs. Its motor and metal frame account for a good chunk of that weight. The MAXX3000 can still be easily manipulated and maneuvered, thanks to its two 9" never-flat wheels.
Main Features
The AR Blue Clean MAXX3000's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 3 nozzles and a detergent addition feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap addition: Detergent is added to the water at the exit, by attaching the included foam cannon to the end of the wand. The foam cannon features a dial to allow you to manually choose the detergent dilution ratio.
- Pressure hose: The included 25 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when idle thanks to a set of convenient hooks.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzles: The 3 nozzles included with the device, and the respective surfaces which they’re the most suitable for, are shown in the following table.
15° | 25 | Turbo | |
---|---|---|---|
Concrete, brick, masonry | Suitable | Suitable | Use with caution |

Other Features
- Total Stop System (TSS): This feature automatically shuts off the pressure washer when the trigger is not engaged, to prolong the pump's lifespan.
- Onboard storage: The AR Blue Clean MAXX3000 features a handy storage tray, which allows you to neatly store all its nozzles. The storage solution offered by this model is quite singular, as it allows storing the nozzles directly on the gun, instead of on the unit.
- Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation).
- Accessories: On top of an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and the usual documentation to get you swiftly started, the AR Blue Clean MAXX3000 also comes with spray gun, power cord, wand, pressure hose, nozzle cleaner and foam cannon (to add cleaning solutions to the water).
