Our Analysis
Specs
498 Amazon Reviews

The AR Blue Clean AR383 is rated at 1,900 psi with a 1.5 gpm flow rate, plenty of power to wash a deck or sidewalk. The main reason it's recommended by the experts at PressureWashersDirect.com, though, is its triplex plunger pump -- manufacturer Annovi Reverberi is known for high-quality pumps. Other features include an onboard hose reel and a stop system that shuts down the motor and pump when you take your finger off the trigger. If you want to wash a large deck or the siding on your house, you need a more powerful pressure washer like the gas-powered Troy-Bilt 20415 (*Est. $340).

PressureWashersDirect.com recommends the Blue Clean AR383, and a few owners posting reviews on the site give it good ratings. At Amazon.com, over 130 owners give it high marks and quite a few rave reviews.
