    Solid Washer
    Machine works well, no particular flaws. Works well for cleaning - not powerful enough for paint stripping or that sort of work (of course it doesn't claim to be). My only real complaint is that the turbo wand is useless - it is less powerful than the tightest setting on the standard wand.

    Best investment for outdoor cleaning!
    I've had other electric power washers but this one is a winner in my book. Very easy to use. Love the wheels and extended handle. The machine is pretty quiet considering the power it has. Once you start it's hard to stop. Best investment for outdoor cleaning.

    Perfect
    for driveway, car, gutters, steps. Easy to assemble if you read the instructions. Light enough to move and store easily.

    A great tool for a great price.
    I did my homework and researched the field before choosing this pressure washer and I was not disappointed. Right out of the box, with minimal assembly, the AR Blue Clean delivered consistently powerful cleaning capability throughout nearly three hours of use.

    Took it out of the box, put it together and washed my house.
    I put this unit together, which was easy, plugged it in and cleaned my house and deck. I love the 2 nozzle option and it had plenty of hose and wire to move around. I used it without any chemicals and it took all the algae off my siding. Plenty of power and was easy to store. I am very happy with this. For an inexpensive unit, it does the job

    Does a good job and is worth the money
    It works well and is powerful enough to clean the cement driveway as well as power wash our wood decks. Its size makes it easy to store. Great for home use.

    Wow! So happy with the purchase; better than I expected.
    Before I got this unit, for years I have been using an electric 1100 p.s.i. power washer to clean the brick pavers on my back patio. It is usually a day and a half full weekend job to do it, or I have to leave the cleaner out over a week, doing it several hours each evening. NOT WITH THIS UNIT! I was truly amazed! Everyone told me that I would need to buy a gas powered washer if I wanted to save time on this job, but I didn’t want to bother with the weight and most importantly, the problems that come with a gas engine (gasoline). With this new unit, pressure cleaning the patio took me only 3 hours instead of about 12! Right out of the box, everything seemed to be ok: all the parts were there, and the “assembly” only consisted of attaching the handle with 4 screws and screwing on the “quick connect” hose connection for the garden hose, attaching the high pressure hose, and trigger spray unit, and then twisting on one of the two spray wands that you get (adjustable fan spray and turbo). When I went to use it, I was VERY happy: my brick pavers had ingrained black mold in crevices and between them. In the past with my old pressure cleaner, each and every brick was a chore: s-l-o-w-l-y going back and forth with the fan spray set to about an inch and a half wide, with the wand standing still in some spots, or a need to adjust the fan to a point to get a stubborn spot, then adjusting it back to a fan spray to resume the general cleaning. NOT WITH THIS UNIT! I set the spray to almost the whole width of the brick and seemed to just “dust it” over the bricks one time, or a most, back and forth once, and presto, the brick was clean. I couldn’t believe it! After trying the adjustable fan spray wand for a while, I tried the “turbo” wand. To my surprise, it really worked: if I elevated the wand enough for the turbo fan shaped spray to cover the entire brick, it only took one pass! I thought I would miss the adjustable fan wand if I used the turbo, but in truth, the turbo was able to blast out stubborn spots, and if I used it at a distance of a couple of feet, it did a great job of “sweeping” away the dirt and debris. I have no need for the detergent bottle, which like the cord and pressure hose, as well as the two wands, stores neatly on the unit, so I can’t comment on how well it works, but it uses a simple siphon system and just snaps in line, so I don’t know why it would not work as it should. Finally, unlike other units, this one turns off the MOTOR when the wand trigger is released, a small energy saving but more importantly, a convenience when you have to stop working for a while, and don’t want to leave the motor running. All in all, I am very satisfied with my purchase! This is a great unit!

    Easy to set up and use
    I have been very pleased with this power washer. It was easy to put together, and it has been great. I've used it on my deck, brick, and outdoor furniture.

    Worked out well
    So far this pressure washer has worked out well. Now, my first go around had allot of mold/mildew so it has taken a little extra to get it done. But once it is clean it should be a easy job to keep it clean. Easy to work, put together, and store.

    Worked well - At First.
    The first several times used, worked very well. Then, the GFCI on the power chord failed, not engaging, with the unit being dead in the water. Returned to Home Depot for a refund.

    Decent product
    Assembly was very easy, and it's easy to use. I was a little disappointed it didn't do as great of a job as I had hoped on my glass patio table and chairs (didn't take off the sap from the trees and some bird remains), but perhaps I didn't keep a steady stream on it long enough to dissolve. It worked pretty well on my slate/concrete patio. Performance about right for price.

    Love this product
    I have used this everyday for 2 weeks around the house. It works great. The only Problem i had was the plastic Quick Connect snapped off. (i knew it would from the other reviews) Went to the hardware store and for $10 bought a brass quick connect. It is being used as i write this.

    Overall a Good Product
    The pressure washer is overall a good product. Quite a bit of water leaks out at the water supply fitting. The pressure is great for medium duty jobs. The best feature is that you don't have to put up with any engine noise or deal with gasoline.

    Awesome little machine!
    I am a seasoned "around the home" power washer. Over the years I have had several machines, but this is one great machine. I am 65+ and had no problems putting it together or moving it around. I used it for 5 straight hours and it never overheated or shut off and it did a great job. The only problem I had was inserting the wand. You have to push hard and twist and I had some difficulty with that, otherwise a great machine!

    Very Capable
    I was impressed with how strong this pressure washer was for its size and low noise level. I was capable of maintaining a conversation with neighbors who came over to check out the new gadget without yelling or straining. To me, that is the great appeal of an electric power washer. You won't likely get the full bore power of a combustion engine washer, but it will run much more quietly. Only drawbacks on this unit are that the various "lances" or washer attachments don't really bring much to the table. The high pressure attachment is no more powerful than the adjustable attachment on its highest settings, and the soaker attachment offers very little power. I would still recommend this as a great light-duty power washer. The adjustable lance is all you'll likely use, but it does a great job and this thing packs a big punch for how quiet it is.

    Good product but instructions lacking
    This is a good light duty power washer. It's easy to move and set up. But don't expect it to compete with a gas powered device in either pressure or volume. There are a lot of plastic parts, and time will tell how well they hold up. The GFCI button has to be reset each time the unit is plugged in. Also, the GFCI makes the plug huge, making it difficult to use in some outlets. I almost returned this product. It ran for 2 seconds and then shut off. Nothing in the operating instructions hinted that this was normal operation. Only when I went to the Troubleshooting section of the manual did I learn that the motor turns off when the trigger is off, and then turns back on automatically when the trigger is pulled. I'd recommend putting this in the operating instructions in bold print.

    Good value, functional features
    This pressure washer comes with most everything needed for household use. There is minimal assembly required out of the box. The instructions are clear for assembly, but slightly less so for use. I like the adjustable spray ‘lance’, which avoids changing nozzles. I also like the quick connects being included. Also included is a bottle for using liquid detergents for washing. Everything can be stored on the washer itself, keeping clutter to a minimum, and it has a small footprint.

    Powerful Pressure Washer In A Light Package
    This little monster will make short work out of cleaning your house outside walls before painting, or cleaning the driveway, or your deck, or your car! What I like most, is that it comes in a relatively small, light-weight and compact package, so it is easy to tote around for just about anyone. And with 1800 PSI, it will blast away just about any grime you want to tackle! This will get lots of use around my house this summer!

    Nice Economically Priced Washer
    For the homeowner who has only the occasional demands for pressure washing, this unit fits the bill. My washer's first job out of the box (after some minor assembly) was to clean the outside of our home. The fan sprayer performed just fine removing dust and debris from the siding and window channels. I was able to catch the roof peaks, approximately 15 feet from ground level without needing a ladder. The fan spray did not harm the painted surface from a minimum distance of 6 feet. (I would not recommend spraying a painted surface any closer than 6 feet, unless you intend to remove the paint.) The next task was washing the motorcycle. Again, (remembering this is a high pressure sprayer that may harm sensitive components from direct spray,) this washer easily removed bug guts and road debris with ease. I could finally remove all the accumulated oils and grease from the bottom of the engine and frame without having to scrub in the blind. The supplied pressure hose and long cord allow you to cover a large area without having to move or unplug the washer. The washer is fairly lightweight, so it moves along easily when needed. Very nice unit.
