    I'm contemplating the purchase of an electric pressure washer with a budget around $150.00. After doing some research & reading some reviews, I have my eyes set on
    AR Blue Clean AR383 1,900 PSI 1.5 GPM 11 Amp Electric Pressure Washer With Hose Reel

    If anybody has used this washer or know anyone else who is, please provide any feeback you may have.

    Thanks

    Cam spray maybe a bit more expensive (around $650 if you shop around), but it is worth every penney.

    If you have a costco by you it might be worth looking at the one they sell. They have a lifetime return policy on most stuff. When my snapon broke they refunded me my money without a reciept or the box.

    Plus one for the Camspray !!! But AR does make solid units so you should be ok for that model in that price range. I brought a couple of those lower priced units( not the AR) as gas powered ones were not an option for me. Just way to noisy at 6 and 7am . After too many issues I broke down an purchased the camspray and have never had an issue. Just money well spent .

    I myself have an AR unit and wouldn't survive without it. I have the AR610, plenty of power, very mobile and extremely quiet.

    +1. All electrical pressure washers break...some sooner than others. Costco lifetime warranty is pretty amazing coverage and definitely worth buying. They now carry the Powerstroke ones which is pretty solid.

    By all accounts this is a nice unit; I actually bought one. Then when I found I couldn't get a foam cannon to connect to it (the standard types of bayonets & other adapters available don't work for it) I returned it and got a Karcher.

    If the hp hose threads into the wand, you should be able to replace the wand with one that will accept a foam cannon.

    I bought a Stanley electric pressure washer for about $150. The hose broke within 6 months (not covered under warranty), then the plug on the cord broke. You get what you pay for when buying cheap pressure washers. So I bought an AR Blue Clean 610 about two months ago and its been great so far. Plenty of power for washing cars, and works great with the CR system.
