Snow Joe 2030 GPM TEST SPX3000 no tip .30 sec for 1gal. Soaper .30 sec for 1gal. 40 deg. .51 sec for 1gal. 25 deg. .51 sec for 1gal. 15 deg. .51 sec for 1gal. 0 deg. .51 sec for 1gal. Real life test shows your actually getting 1.176 GPM with the 40, 25, 15, 0, deg. Nozzle's, NOT 1.76 ..If you were to include the soaper tip and no tip test results, you could get closer to the claim of 1.76 gallons per minute. Hey remember they're advertisements for your eyeballs, and your finger to purchase with a click. Test details: Using a sacrificial rag over the nozzle which will have a hole blown through it by the nozzle pressure, inserting that into a shop vac hose, and then going into a funnel, that is going into an empty 1 gallon milk jug container. I was able to get accurate water flow, without all the air flow created from the high-pressure tips. I dare anyone to take the high-pressure tip and stick it into an empty milk jug and pull the trigger, LOL! Test Remarks: I was very surprised when testing higher, and higher pressure tips that the pump was able to maintain the gpm flow exactly, I expected GPM to drop down slightly with each higher pressure tip change test. (Nice Pump) The SPX3000 unit rated pressure is 1450 from page 4 of the user manual. Download the PDF and look for yourself. I need this pressure washer to work with other attachments at rated line pressure & GPM flow. So facts are important, gimmicks are not. I am using a universal wand with universal adapters ( Power Care Gun/Hose 100664072 rated 2000 psi) , to run a karcher 250 surface cleaner. (yellow one, & yellow nozzle tips) I wish this unit would deliver 1.76 GPM, the results could only be even more amazing. .. but, with 1.176 GPM the results are very good. As a result of consumer testing, I believe the public, we will find that all the manufacturers have all tweaked the numbers and facts, so each competitor can look better than the other. LOL. Conclusion: SPX3000 Still best unit. I will highly recommend this unit on it's own merit, it is simply the best electric washer I have used so far, and has a 2 year warranty to back it up, I don't appreciate the deceptive numbers, enough said. Knowing what I know now, and having used it, I would buy it all over again. I am going to update my test results, to also include the line pressure on each tip. Fluid filled pressure gauge with Quick Connect, should be here in about 2 weeks. ...Update 4/5/2014 Plan on Using a Generator? Wattage TEST SPX3000 no tip 850 watts avg.
