Pros:
The unit is lightweight and easy to move. It has a variety of included attachments to tackle almost all jobs around the home. One nice feature is the adjustable spray tip on the wide-angle wand. The unit has a lot of power for an electrical pressure washer -- more than enough to clean driveways, decks, grills, mowers, etc.

Cons:
As mentioned in many other reviews, the plastic hose adapter leaks water, right in the middle where the two washers meet. The leaking is so bad as to make the unit unusable, unless you enjoy being sprayed with a torrent of water while you work. The solution: go down to your local hardware store and buy a brass male-to-male hose adapter for 8 bucks. Now you are in business.

The high-pressure hose that runs from the unit to the spray-gun is made from a stiff plastic that tangles easily and is hard to manage as you move around. I am currently researching buying an after-market hose made from high quality rubber to avoid this problem.

Also, don't bother storing the hose using the built-in reel. It is fussy work trying to get the hose on and off, and bending the hose in tight circles makes it that much easier to tangle when you use it. Simply coil the hose loosely and drop it around the top of the handle. This will save you lots of time.

Final thoughts: This unit provides a good value among other electric pressure washers, if you don't mind upgrading the hose adapter and dealing with a slightly annoying hose.

We bought the AR Blue Clean 1,900 PSI to use around the house for various projects, but mainly to clean up our 10 year old wood fence. The unit arrived in 2 days in perfect condition, we unpacked it and had it assembled in about 10 minutes without any problem. I had read in some reviews that the connector for the garden hose leaked, so I was anticipation having to deal with that, but to my pleasant surprise it did not and has not leaked even a drop!
Well we fired it up and this little machine really preformed great right from the start and all I had to do was get the hang of it. My wife and I have been using it for the last two days on our fence and it is making an old dirty fence look like new again. So easy to use that I can't get my wife to put it down.... The only thing my wife was wishing that the trigger would lock so she did not have to hole it constantly, so I just got a zip tie and tied it around the trigger and it works perfectly and to release the trigger just slide the zip tie down....
So bottom line is yes I would not hesitate for one second to recommend this to anyone.

Works Great, No Leaks!

Whatever you have read up to this point or after this point (10/20/11) forget it, pay it no mind... This puppy does the job! In all fairness to the negative reviews, I believe the product presently being sold now, right here on Amazon, may have gone through some upgrades. I put this unit to the test right out of the box and there were absolutely no leaks... not one drop... BONE DRY!

I think it is largely to do with a newly included part that the "leak issue" stated in many of the comments, has been eliminated and no longer exists. Another stated issue that no longer exists is the difficulty to put this Blue Wonder together... There are five screws: 4 to put the attachment holder on the back of the unit and 1 screw to attach a plastic piece that assists in holding the electrical cord to wrap around the attachment holder.

Maybe with previously models, the handle and the pressure hose reel (which is only for storage) had to be attached (I don't know) but there are presently no other parts to attach than what I have mentioned. The problem with the directions is that they now include an insert telling you about the new (leak-free) part included but the old part (which is no longer included) is still referenced in the main direction booklet. Although, when I called the toll-free number, which is clearly marked on the box lid and on another insert included with the directions, I immediately got a person on the phone that was not only pleasant but helpful too.

They explained that this new part is included and answered all of my questions as to the negative complaints that I had read on Amazon (another reported complaint about getting a human on the phone that does not exist). In fact, I called twice and got another person who was also pleasant and helpful because I forget to ask the previous person about the lance removal issue that is also mentioned in the comments. If you don't push the lance into the spring-loaded insert opening on the end of the gun-handle and then twist it, the lance will just keep turning around and around, and it won't come out.

I must admit, when I tried to remove the lance after inserting it but before powering the unit up and taking it out for a test, it was confusing... but when the pressure washer was on and the safety lock on the handle was in-gauged, the lance came out without issue with a push inward and a turned to get it out.

I myself found the hose storage wheel not helpful because the pressure hose had a mind of its own and it did not want to go on the wheel without a fight. Also, the rubber protector on the end of this hose kept hitting the unit at the top and bottom position when winding it, which slowed down the process. I might only use this storage wheel for winter storage... I much prefer wrapping both the power cord and the pressure hose (one at a time) around may hand and elbow to wind them in a circle and then lasso them over the pressure washer handle which holds both cord and hose very well.

I agonized over this purchase because most of the negative comments had the same complaints threaded through each negative review. I thought to myself, if these people don't know each other (which they don't) how then could each negative comment have the same or similar issues mentioned in each review. So I bought and un-bought this product in my head many times until one day I just closed my eyes and took the plunge in spite of it all. I believe, for me, it was the price, the 1900 psi and the reputable manufacturer of the pump that push me over the edge to buy this product and the fact that I knew Amazon would stand behind it and take it back (no questions asked) if I had an issue.

The biggest change I made to my purchase process, was to test and use the product the day it arrived so it didn't sit here unboxed waiting to be opened months later only to find that I was past the return date without ever powering it up once.

Let's see... have I left anything out... Oh yea, IT WORKS! I will try to make a video so you can see for yourself that it works. I hope this is helpful and addresses any negative comment you may have read.
P.S. The threads on the AR383 are metric so if you purchase an American threaded part and attach it to the AR383, it WILL leak.

This is great home use pressure cleaner. No leaks and does everything as advertised. A few notes:
There is not a way to lock the handle, so if you are doing a large area, your hand is going to get tired
Given it is not recommended to be used with an extension power cord, its a good idea to get the 25 foot extension hose
Do not purchase the 80006 universal pressure washer adapter. Its not needed and it the threads are not compatible
The factory hose is nearly impossible to get on the reel, no point, just loop around as others state.
The garden hose adapter is exposed if you leave it attached to the unit and would be easy to break. remove it after each use.
The soap dispenser dispenses at hose pressure, not pressurized via the pump.

I have used this is clean my patio and underside patio roofing, about 800 square feet. It didn't complain or get hot ( but your hands will sore from the constant squeezing of the handle).

If you are considering this unit, you really cant go wrong and I have recommended it to others.
