I've had the same problem, haven't used mine a dozen times but it leaks and the pump is on constantly instead of cycling. Also it's way down on power, I'm using the narrowest 15* nozzle to clean my sidewalk an inch at a time. Next one will be electric or battery, but better quality.
I bought one for $75 last time. I know what I will be getting and it hasn't disappointed. Used it 10 times for car washing and cleaning the patio. It works. I don't have any comparison. Yes, a gas powered or better electrical one will beat it all day. But it serves my purposes no complain. Mine doesn't leak.
Piece of junk. Bought one in November from Walmart and after first use the connection between gun and pressure hose is loose and spraying. Going thru their warranty for replacement part right now.
U can replace it with better gun and a better water extension hose.
Yea... Electric won't do it for me with 3 houses all with composite decks. The compressor on my Honda powered washer just died so picked up a gxc motored Honda at home Depot. It was $559 at Lowes and $597 at home Depot. Hd price matched Lowes and hd had a $75 off $500 purchase coupon in the mail and 18 months same as cash offer. So not a bad deal on a commercial grade washer.
Can you expand upon that? Was considering grabbing this if I could get it at this price. I borrow my neighbors 1800 PSI electric one often and I like it, so I'm curious if there's something about this particular model that makes it garbage.
There's a guy on YouTube who compares consumer products. While he only provides a single data point for each test his results are pretty worthwhile. He just did one for power washers and found the sun Joe's to be last in terms of quality. https://youtu.be/K5cMJvmlvv4

I've had 2 of these over the last 5 years. 1 lasted 3 years. Last one is still kicking. We beat the snot out of it and it gets used at least once a day. I own a Land Cruiser restoration shop so you can understand what I'm putting them through. They are not super powerful but great of for light duty work.

I like Project Farm but he compared a $69 Sun Joe to a $225 CAT model. Sun Joe sells better models, so that didn't seem fair.
I bought the Sun Joe SPX3000 at Home Depot for $90 about 3 years ago and it's worked fine for what it is. In fact, I just posted it on craigslist at $80 a couple days ago, immediately had a bunch of replies and sold it within 2 hours. I love SlickDeals.

Kinda sounds like user error. Mine never leaks. Maybe it's the hose you're using?
That was my first thought, cause the pressure hose to gun leak was quickly fixed with a few wraps of tef tape and some tightening. Unfortunately, the supply leak was not from the hose connection on both the initial unit and replacement - it's some kind of internal failure. Disappointing.

There are 100's of different models out there. He has no ability to test all of them. lol

can also verify this. I narrowed down the root cause to be the rubber gaskets they use to seal each inter connects. The first time use rip the rubber gasket. Second time use, literally no seal. It's difficult to find the exact size, but when you do the whole machine works great.
And no, i did not go through their warranty.
Trusting their process to fix the root cause would most likely waste my time.

Good for "my first pressure washer". Once the next clearance deal comes around at Walmart, maybe I'll upgrade to a 5000 PSI gas powered one.
