Been wanting to get a pressure washer, but I suspect it would end up in the garage collecting dust and never get used. The more I read, the more Electric pressure washers sound like a waste of time, and Gas powered is the way to go, but then of course they are more expensive. Hoping to nab one on clearance or heavy discount, someday. If you do want an electric power washer, from what I have read, Ryobi is the brand to go with.

I'm the opposite. I went from 2 failed gas washers to electric and I'll never go back. Less maintenance and near equal performance. The electric is way less of a headache to deal with.

Good to know! Can electric deep-clean well (pavement or concrete) or is it might for light-medium jobs?

This unit uses a non standard high pressure hose. The fitting is not standard so you can just go buy a replacement house at Lowes or Walmar

Problem is, the one it comes with is really low quality ,if you let it kink even a few times its liable to burst at that point and thus the house is ruined.

They are consistently sold out on the sunjoe website so you cant get a replacement if you're not under warranty. Even folks under warranty have said that Sunjoe says "We are sold out of them and can replace the part when we have more" and then you are out of luck.

DO get the walmart warranty on this. I have a perfectly good unit that I cant use because the hose burst. like WTF, great job on creating more useless trash Sunjoe.

Note the reviews and out of stock status:

Understand that by buying this, you are buying a disposable electric pressure washer that will likely last you a couple uses.

My hose leaked too and couldn't find the repalcement. Now it is resting in my garage for the last 1 month. Claimed warranty couple of days ago but didn't get any reply yet. Any suggestion to source the correct hose with right connector or adapter?

Could not find aone anywhere so had to go buy another different brand unit at Lowes for $80.

Now my sunjoe washer sits unused and worthless. Why the hell would they use a proprietary hose on these???? It only serves to make them disposable.

its in stock at the walmart next to my job so i might pick it up if its really for $49.99 or $69.99 but will pass on it if its $99.99. If its the hose and gun that sucks i would probably upgrade that anyways to a matcc gun and foam cannon and more flexible non kink hose.

Used a Sun Joe pressure washer like this with a surface cleaner attachment today for the driveway abd felt like I was in an infomercial for a 'better way'. If you need a pressure washer I'd strongly recommend the investment of a couple hundred dollars for a gas washer.. the skin between your legs will thank you

If you spend THREE times as much for one tool as another, there's a pretty good chance it's going to perform better.
Sun Joe makes pressure washers that cost closer to that $225 CAT, that probably would've had better test results.

He stated in that video all the models were chosen by viewers. So it is a good representation of what the market wants to know.

Seems like the take-away is if people have $225 spend, they will buy a brand by Cat than Sun Joe. And if they only want to spend $80, they want to see how it holds up against the Cat.

I spent $90 for a Sun Joe SPX3000 via SD, which I think would compete a lot better with the CAT, which is generally only available through Amazon for $225.

And again, I like Project Farm and realize he can't test everything. And has no idea that real Slickdealers don't pay anywhere near retail.

My local Walmart had this for 99.
I bought one and tried to clean my car and drive way. This is the first washer i used but i feel the power is not strong enough for my need.
It does clean out the patio tiny by tiny. But im disappointed on cleaning on my car... It's just weak.
Also, the connection to the gun leaks easily. I'm 100% sure I have tighten the bolt all the way to dead end and it's still leaks occasionally.
I found out it's thew design issue. That inner piece pops in and it could pops out if I drag the hose. The outer bolt doesn't help to secure the it inside.
Returned back to Walmart

Was able to get one for $89 instead of the $69 deal. Was skeptical initially. But trust me it did the job perfectly.

The hose oring broke after one use so it would leak, but that was easy to replace with a hardware store run. Works good enough for car washing and cleaning up the driveway
