Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The AR610 is a 1200 PSI @ 1.9 GPM power washer. The rating is incorrect on Amazon.
My initial experiences have been very poor with this power washer. My old 1300 PSI washer failed so I decided to purchase this "Prosumer" washer based on the promise of a long life and more cleaning power (based on the 1800 PSI advertised). When the package arrived it was in very poor condition. Amazon packed the AR610 carton inside an Amazon box using a minimal amount of heavy brown paper to restrain the 35 lb washer. After removing it from the damaged box I noticed the AR carton said it was a 1350 PSI @ 1.9 GPM washer. The data plate on the washer states it is a 1200 PSI @ 1.9 GPM washer. The manual is poor considering the cost of the unit. Important information such as how often to change the oil is missing along with numerous misspellings and poor diagrams. After some frustrating efforts to contact the manufacturer, I was able to confirm it is only 1200 PSI and now have the oil change information.
After using the washer for awhile I can report the following. The washer is built like a tank; it is surprisingly heavy for its size and appears to be very well made. It is very quiet in operation. The motor runs at all times even when not spraying. The wand is comfortable and the spray pattern adjustment works quite well. The pressure can be regulated down from 1200 PSI.
For me this washer is not a good value. It has less cleaning power than my old unit and it takes longer to get the job done. I have to set the spray pattern very narrow to get reasonable results while cleaning typical homeowner items like the deck, lawn furniture, north side of the house, and a small camper.
For my purposes this was a bad purchase. It has less power, it takes more time and it's very expensive. It will have to last a very long time before it becomes a reasonable value. If it was 1800 PSI as advertised or if I was using it professionally it might have been worth it. Evaluate your requirements very carefully before purchasing this washer.
