AR Annovi Reverberi AR383SS Electric Pressure Washer 1900 PSI, 1.3 GPM, Classic Design

My other electric pressure washer failed and so I had to decide if getting the gas-powered washer out every time I needed to do a small job was worth the trouble. I decided it wasn't. I ordered this AR which took a little time to get here ( because it's such a popular model I guess ) but soon after setting it up I was out pressure washing everything in sight. This is a very well put together little unit with a good quality feel about it. I needed more than the twenty-five foot hose that came with it so I ordered an AR extension hose which works vey well, extending my cleaning reach to fifty feet. This washer has all the features you need for a quick and easy washing experience. Note: Some owners of this machine have complained about the pressure fluctuating from the machine at times. Mine did the same thing at first ( the trigger gets pulled and rather than the machine cycling to 'on' it powers up then turns off ) until I made sure absolutely all of the air was purged from the garden hose to the machine. I also removed the screen washer that comes in the machine's hose inlet and replaced it with a normal 'O' hose washer. I think the screen washer was inhibiting water flow maybe just enough to cause the power fluctuations. Anyway this seems to have been a harmless fix unless scale is a problem in your water line I would say it's worth trying. Also: consider getting some cans of 'wintering' spray to insert into the water pump when you put the machine away form the winter. This helps prevent water corrosion as it sits unused and will insure the washer will last a while. Amazon has many brands listed. The aerosol type seems to work the best and is easiest to administer.

I love this pressure washer. The unit as delivered was well packed and was easy to put together. I found the Quick Start Guide with its 19 steps, with diagrams, detailed enough to do the assembly quickly. There is also a more detailed Unpacking and Assembly section in the manual and some might prefer using that. The only minor flaw in the instructions referred to the blue garden hose connector (so the user wouldn't mix it up with the pressure hose connector) but both connectors were silver. It was still easy to get them in their proper places. This review is based on my use of the AR383SS only. It's my first pressure washer and I have never used any other. I did not want the hassle of maintaining a gasoline engine but I was worried that an electric one would not be powerful enough. Not to worry. The 0 degree nozzle stripped the paint from my cement patio so I can't imagine needing something more powerful. There are four nozzles included and I would have liked more info in the manual on the types of jobs that each nozzle is best suited for. However, there are a number of introductory videos on YouTube that were helpful in this regard. Now it's so much fun to get things cleaned up I keep looking for more projects. The high pressure hose is rather stiff. It is stored on a small reel at the top of the machine. It has to be completely removed for use and rewound for storage with both steps being somewhat awkward. In between jobs I coil it and hang it on the machine and only for storage do I put it back on the reel. During use the pressure hose, garden hose and electric cord make for a lot of potential tangles. I inadvertently wound up kinking the pressure hose causing the rubber coating to split and the inner core to spring a leak. The hose is still useable since the leak is small but I called the help number to get their advice. A new hose was sent to me at no charge despite the fact that this was definitely my error. Very impressed with good customer service. I like the on/off dial on the front of the machine. When turned to ON the pump runs for a few seconds to pressurize the system, then shuts off. The pump only runs when the trigger on the spray gun is squeezed. The pump is reasonably quiet, nothing like a gas engine, but it's nice that it doesn't run continuously. When I decided that I wanted a pressure washer I checked the local sores, then bought from Amazon based on price and reviews. Great decision with no regrets.

Nice pressure washer for around the home. Nice pressure for an electric unit. Light and seems well made. Good for cleaning off the deck and front porch, washing cars and wheels. It was easy to assemble and has features normally found only in gas pressure washers. It is a little top heavy, so you have to be careful not to pull it over while you extend the high pressure hose. The only complaint I have I have is that the water hose inlet is plastic instead of metal. If the unit tips over, you could possibly break the inlet off.

great little machine quite powerful and well built

Tres satisfait

Used it a half dozen times so far for car and driveway washing. The good: - nozzle tips and wand quick connects work well - compact design, fairly quiet for a pressure washer - soap dispenser is easy to use, fill and clip into back of unit & use low pressure (black tip) nozzle - small and light enough to move around the yard for various jobs easily The meh: -plastic threaded hose connects on the front of unit seem a little cheap, careful tightening the hoses - wheels are cheap and the unit wobbles as it rolls -plastic wand holder keeps popping off the side of the unit, need to glue or fasten it so it doesn't

Just received my 383SS unit and first impressions are good. Used it for half an hour and had no leaks or problems. It has adequate power for the price but does not seem to me to be exponentially better than my old 1500 psi Simoniz unit it replaced. The online photos show a braided stainless pressure hose but in fact in comes with a standard rubber coated hose as does the extension hose and the wand is different as well. Both these items are identical to the wand and hose photos of the more expensive 390SS model so maybe they decided to include them rather than manufacture two separate parts ... anyway they appear to be an upgrade at best. The only thing I noticed was a squeaky noise when I released the trigger and I found that some purchasers of the AR383 Base Model unit had noted it as well in their reviews. I will give it an initial 4.5 stars outa 5 and see how it performs over the next 12 months of use before I say any more.

I’ve had two of these units (one warranty) with little use and the pump starts to fail even after proper storage. The second one has now failed again.
