Ive had this pressure cleaner for about 3-4 years now and let me tell some pros and cons:

Pros:

+ Gets leftover dried cement, oil, dirt, etc... off easily

+ Strong - this thing chips away the paint on concrete slab when you get too close or leave it in the same spot for too long. i had to repaint my walkway and plan to repaint the driveway as a result just to get all the dried up things off.


Cons:

- Can sometimes feel under powered - I've spent a good 2 hrs pressure cleaning my 2 car driveway that was filled with dried up car oil and footprints everywhere. Took me more than 4 hours (closer to 6-8 hrs) to completely pressure clean the walkway that leads from the front of the house through the side of the house and finally to the back of the house (my lot is 6k sq.ft for reference). it would take me 2 days worth of time to pressure clean all of my concrete slab if i was going to. dont even get me started on trying to pressure clean a 25 year old wooden fence that has had no maintenace in 25 years and was black and ugly to look at instead of normal wood color. i replaced it with a dura fence 4 months ago and didnt bother to clean it before tearing it down either.

- Hose connector can be a real pain to connect and disconnect hose - it was such a pain to have to get a pair of pilers to tighten and loosen the hose connector so no water would leak out during use when the hose was connected to the pressure cleaner. After a few times i eventually got tired of it and just left a 25ft expandable hose (shrinks to 10ft) that has a shutoff valve at the end that connects to the pressure cleaner and tighten it up one last time and left it connected to the pressure cleaner for good. This way i get a longer hose that i just connect another hose to the other end and also have the ability to shutoff the water before starting or finishing without having to walk all the way back to the spigot.

- Wand Trigger doesnt always work right away - I've noticed that whenever i release and press the wand trigger the pressure cleaner locks up and i have to release trigger again wait a few seconds to press the trigger again and continue pressure cleaning.

- Zero cable management - the marketing picture is a lie. the pressure cleaner gets covered up by all the cables because you have no way to store or organize the cables so your only option is to reel in the power and wand cables as much as possible to place in the little holding area that has a hook next to the wand and the leftover lengths gets dragged around the floor or wrapped around the unit itself. its ugly to look at when not in use when it has no solid cable management.


Overall it'll get the job done but maybe get a higher PSI if you have tough stains that dont come off so easily or you'll spend a day or two pressure cleaning your house and multiple days for sure if you have to pressure clean your fence too.

It has less PSI than the one in the deal though.
This has worked great for driveway, steps, fences, patio, etc. Will buy again whenever my current one dies.

2030 is MAX, as in, when water FIRST comes out of the nozzle (with tons of pressure built up).

BS marketing, and intentionally deceitful. Only in the manual in fine print, will it show you the real, average output which is well below this.

If it's like my "2080" rated Sunjoe, it's around 1600 when comparing against Ryobi and other non sleazy manufacturers' numbers.

I just bought one of these from Sam's and am strongly considering returning for that reason alone (but it's also woefully underpowered unless you are doing the lightest of cleaning - great for car washing for instance, but awful at concrete/driveways/walkways unless they are very small).

I have the SPX3001 which is basically this unit plus a hose real, the hose reel definitely isn't worth the extra. I was looking at it today and if I ever need to replace the hose it's going to be a pain in the ass. Replacing the host on this unit will be easy and straight forward by comparison.

Regarding the pressure washer power, it's not going to match a gas powered one at all. That's ok though, it gets the job done and it's a lot more convenient around the home. I'm much more likely to break mine out than I am a gas powered unit.

It also doesn't weight that much so you can lug it around the house easier. We have a roof top patio and I can lug this thing upstairs to blast it off. I would never try that with a gas powered unit.

It's nice because it shuts off when not spraying so there isn't a constant engine running.

I have been thinking about downgrading from my big gas powered washer. Did I read somewhere that Sun Joe has proprietary connections and my foam cannon won't connect to this wand?
It's a 14 mm, so you'll need a 14->15 mm coupler like this one.

Fudgems the original price at Home Depot is showing $159. You got the last $159 deal at the new original price?
It was $199 originally, Amazon dropped to $159, and now HD shows price of $159 on sale for $129 matching Amazon.

It's like Russian nesting dolls, but a good price in the end.

Is this any good for removing mildew from vinyl siding????
Yes. I've used it on siding and with the patio attachment on a driveway.

I have this. Other reviews here are spot on and I agree

- it's not as powerful as advertised. Does about 80% of the jobs I need it to do.

- The hose connection sucks. I put a quick connect on mine because it's leaky as hell otherwise.

- there's really no organization on this unit for your power or water cords. It's an ugly pile of cords in my garage.

I used mine today and literally the thought was in my mind "I really need to upgrade from this".

You can get this refurbed for $95 on SunJoe's eBay store. 90 day warranty with them, but ebay includes 2yr All-State Warranty. I got the SPX-4000 for the same price (same internals, but better build..won't tip over).

If anything goes wrong in those 90 days, I have read that they go above and beyond and usually just send a brand new unit.

Thanks. Looks like this harbofreight one is a better deal. This also included a detergent bottle that cost around 20 additional for other brands
