First off, the unit (I received) is rated at only 1400PSI/1.7 GPM (according to the label on the unit itself), unlike the advertised 1600PSI/1.8GPM. Had I known that, I would not have bought it in the first place. Secondly, the unit arrived damaged. (The box itself had no visible signs of damage, making me believe it was damaged before it was shipped?) A corner of the cheaply-constructed plastic base was broken off, making it almost impossible for the unit to stand upright on its own now.
It comes with an adjustable spray head, having a high/low pressure setting. Although on the 'low' setting, the water barely trickles out, making it relatively useless for anything other than watering plants, at best. During operation, the water pressure will sometimes 'fade' in and out. The incoming water pressure is constant, so I'm guessing the unit itself has trouble regulating the outgoing water pressure. (I gave it 2 stars instead of only 1 because technically, it does work, though not that well. It's just not what it was advertised to be, with regards to PSI)
The 'instruction manual' is a joke, at best. It's as difficult to follow as any other 'translated to English by a non-English speaking translator' manual! You're better off tossing it in the trash and figuring out what-does-what and what-goes-where on your own. (It's pretty easy to assemble/operate it anyhow)
Overall, I'd recommend going with a different brand, like Karcher perhaps. If you're looking for a 1600PSI washer, this one, literally, isn't for you. Even if you're willing to settle for less power, you can find other 1400PSI washers out there for a lot less money. Don't waste your time on this one.

I purchased this pressure washer and was very disappointed. I put alot of faith in the PM magazine review.
This pressure washer would have trouble blasting the icing off a cake! It's way underpowered. Given it's size and weight I can only assume that instead of a powerful pump there might just be bricks inside the case.
I bought the Karcher M397, it's smaller, less money, but it puts out more power. STAY AWAY FROM THE AR EXTREME. You will be Extremely disappointed.

After waiting for this machine for about 5 weeks, it finally arrived. I was very excited and started to use it immediately.After about one hour it stopped working. It continues to pop the circut breaker on the plug. I guess it is defective,so tomorrow I am going to UPS and return the product. It works OK when it works,but one hour is not enough....I think I will buy a machine I can have in a matter of days,not weeks..Sorry, not a happy camper..Richard

Having read others reviews and with some skepticism, I ordered this washer and received it a couple of weeks ago. Maybe I was just lucky? Shipping was quick and the unit was intact. I've got about 8 hours of mostly continuous use out of it so far...it has worked exactly as I would expect it to. Stripped a cedar deck and a 10 year old, redwood, Rainbow playsystems swingset with ease! They both look like new, ready for a new coat of stain. This unit works great for cleaning vinyl siding and windows. Make sure you fan the spray though or you'll poke holes right through the siding! I have nothing but good things to say about this product.......hope I feel the same in a couple of years! I'll come back and give it 5 stars if it holds up throughout use this summer.

UpDate: Two years later and still going strong - this model problably isn't available any longer but I wanted to follow up just in case. 5 stars!!

Was shipped quickly. Box had no damaged but when I took the unit out the hard plastic case was clearly damaged. It was cracked and pieces were laying in the box. The plastic piece used to wrap the cord around was broken off and the section where you attached the handle looked like somebody hit it with a big hammer and knocked a hole it it. Had to have been done at the factory. Terrible quality control. Amazon accepted the return.

Popular Mechanics rates this unit in the July 2003 edition. It gives it the highest out of six rated. Rated againist Karcher,Campbell Hausfeld, Cam Spray, MI-T-M and Porter Cable. I do not own this unit, but will soon because of the PM rating. This unit is also listed as the Black and Decker PW1500 and the Delta DT1600E. CHECK IT OUT.
