Our pressure washer works OK but like others it loses pressure and pulsates at times. We also bought the SPX-FC34 Foamer Cannon that doesn't foam at all.

I did a lot of searching for a power washer...gas or electric. My main concern was durability and design.While I started out to buy a gas washer, I was put off by the noise that everyone mentions. I will use mine quite a bit.....40x30 patio plus a 25x9 patio, porch, driveway and of course cars....and that means my neighbors would quickly have a problem with all the noise. I decided to get an electric one although I had concerns about sufficient power Figured if it couldn't do what I need it would go back to Amazon.
It showed up today so quickly assembled it (very easy and good instructions). I decided to give it a test drive so it was my big patio and concrete/brick wall around it and steps up from the yard. I hadn't touched the patio in about 8 years and it looked it. I live in Michigan so get snow and than lots of dirt and muck. Also gets some moss in the bricks.
I spent about 4 hours playing with the washer and trying out different tips. The patio came out great. While a gas machine might have more power, the Sun Joe was more than enough for anything I can see throwing at it as a homeowner. One custom touch I did....all my garden hoses and accessories use quick connects so I put one on the Sun Joe to allow fast connecting of the hose. Other than that I was happy it had a 35' long power cord. The washers hose is 20' and I guess it would be nice to have a 50' but I will see how this works out. Luckily it is light and easy to move around. . In fact that is another big plus for me. ...it only weights a bit over 30# compared to 80# or more for gas washers. It doesn't take much storage space either. I did read in the reviews that it is important to get the water out of the hose and don't leave the tips on the wand for a long time as they will rust and that will jam the tips.
As one who ALWAYS reads the instructions....there is a cleaning pin taped to the back of the instructions. Some reviews mentioned they use tiny screw driver, drills etc. to clean the tip....guess they didn't read the instructions ;-)
Mine also came with the newer metal connection instead of the plastic one some reviewers had issues with.
Since I have only had it for one day and put 4 hours of hard use on it....I think it will work out fine but if any issues Sun Joe has an excellent warranty. I understand from the reviews they are really customer driven and have excellent support. Hopefully I will never have to use it...but nice to know it is there.
I am giving 4 stars out of 5....not that it isn't a 5 star machine....but I haven't had it long enough to speak to durability but thus far I don't see any issues.
The best part....it is not noisy at all...just a pleasant humming souind....and when idling it makes no noise....I won't have to deal with irate neighbors.
Bought this (my first pressure washer) to clean-up stains and dirt off of an old concrete porch. Have used powerful gasoline-powered washers before, and even truck-mounted units for blasting industrial paints from steel and concrete structures, but didn't need that heavy-duty power, plus didn't want another gas-engine to maintain. Based upon the reviews, this seemed the way to go.
My first use was washing old wooden benches that were caked in mud and covered in tree-sap and bird-droppings; worked Quick, Easy and Perfectly! Next I tackled the 2 concrete porches; the largest (12x20) had old gum stuck into the concrete, and multiple unknown stains (food, grease, smashed packets of ketchup/mustard...). Took me only about 40 minutes to make this look bright and beautiful! Keeping the jet-stream directed at the deeper and heaviest dirt quickly worked through the stain and completely removed them! Couldn't be happier!
So, all in all, as long as the max-pressure that this unit can output serves your needs, I think you'll be quite happy with it! Love having the various tips "on-board" as well as a convenient way to wrap-up the power-cord (which is REALLY LONG, by the way) and the hose. Just a well-thought-out unit, overall! As long as it continues to run year after year as needed, I'll never need a more powerful one!

Works better than my gasoline unit. I especially love the optional attachment for cleaning driveways, patios, sidewalks etc. When I opened it, I thought, this is junk and I can't believe it will work. Was I ever wrong ... this is a must if you want to clean concrete, decks etc. Better invention than toilet paper.

Easy to put together, quiet. Powerful cleaning pressure washer. Highly recommend this product.
Had to return a pressure washer due to a problem with the unit. Customer service was great. They immediately sent me a new unit and a prepaid label to return the nonfunctioning unit.

I’m so glad I listened to these reviews and the reviews on other websites. After searching around for a pressure washer, this is the one. The grime on the “after” picture is just what I haven’t cleaned up myself. It took me about 10 minutes including setup. Thanks Joe!

after reading numerous reviews from different web sites I decided to give the SPX3000 a try. Granted I have only owned this for a couple of weeks, but so far I am impressed. My first task was to power wash an 8 year old composite deck. The deck was grimy from a couple of dogs. I was surprised how easy it was to use and how effective the power washer took care of the dirt and grime.
