This is the first electric pressure washer I've owned and it does an okay job for general cleaning. It cleaned the mold and mildew from my vinyl fencing fine. It doesn't compare to my gas pressure washer but this one is lighter and easier to move around.
The design of electric pressure washers have really improved in the last few years. The SPX3000 is a completely functional replacement for my 7.6 HP gas-power washer (2100 psi) and is about 100 lbs. lighter without the gas and oil storage. It also handles the heavy usage we need here after dust storms and monsoons!
After a week kerfuffle, I traded up to the SPX3000. It was like I traded my transistor radio for a Harmon Karmon receiver. Bigger, more powerful and a sense that this is a better machine are my initial impressions. The choice of tips with an assortment of angles is helpful for tackling a chore. Accomplishing more, using less water, and elimintating the need for chemicals. This product was thought through by the designer. And you get a legible instruction book. Not so from the competition.
Thus far I have only used the product twice, once to play with and it cleaned up some concrete that I had forgotten how it looked when new and again on the wheels on my truck. With both uses I was very pleased with the way the machine worked and the ease of use. Also I liked the results of the cleaning of the item mentioned above. I enjoy the fact that there are five nozzles that I can match the nozzle to the project. In other reviews there was usually a problem with the connector to the garden hose and how it leaked. Both times I used the machine I did not experience any leaks where the garden hose connects to the machine. If this continues then I would give the product a five star rating.
It has the power I need and easy to use and put up for storage. When I bought it I knew the weak link would be the hose connection. I was right had to take screen out of connection for hose to screw in and hold. I had water leaking from the connection all the time I used it, but still was able to clean the house. I ordered their quick connect but still have not used it since. More to come.
This product was very easy to use and move around as we worked! Would recommend this to our family and friends! Best decision to buy instead of hiring a professional! Love it!
Very easy to use. Purchased Sun Joe to pressure wash my Lanai without my husband's help. No problems handling Sun Joe throughout the whole process. Prefer the electric rather than the gas.
