Good pressure washerI've used the AR383 pressure washer a couple of times so far. It works quite well, and, unlike other reviews I've seen, the fittings don't leak. It cleans off surfaces better than an older, lower pressure washer I used to have, and it stores easily in a compact space.
There are, however, a few "ergonomics" issues that detract from what could have been a stellar unit.
First - re potential leaks: I'm sure that mine doesn't leak because I was able to thoroughly tighten the pressure fitting at the bottom of the front of the unit. The plastic housing of the unit is molded in such a way that the fitting is too close to nearby the housing surfaces. It is EXTREMELY difficult to tighten the fitting, because there isn't enough free space around the fitting to allow your fingers to easily fit around the fitting while tightening it. Very difficult to do. So much so that I only want to do this once.
Then, there's the matter of "tool" storage - The AC cord wraps around the back of the unit, in back of the mountings for the wands and accessory handle. this means that the accessories have to be removed when storing the cord, or unwrapping the cord.
Lastly, the interchangeable wands are quite difficult to attach. When they lock in place, there's no positive feedback that they've been fastened securely. Several times I've had one of the wands simulating a projectile when the pressure was turned on. Fortunately, it only shoots out about 6 feet.
I wonder if anyone at the factory/design house ever tried using this unit themselves. It would have been so easy to make a few minor changes which could have made this a perfect unit.
All things considered, while I am annoyed at these design aspects(especially because I'm a design engineer), I still like the unit, as it does the job well.
