Crazy price!

Recommend getting these quick release attachments:

Not sure if these quick connect are same as the ones I bought at the store. Anyways, make sure they fit properly. The connectors on the sun Joe didn't work with my quick connect that I bought at the store. They fit…but wasn't snug. If I over-tighten, they just fall out. Then I got the sun Joe quick connect and they fit nicely. Theirs is more shallow. It's really dumb.

Also dumb is that I have to swap out the quick connect on my garden hose for the quick connect on sun Joe to use the pressure washer. Basically sun joe's quick connect is different than others.

I've had good customer support from sun Joe. I had them send me out free parts. These were minor parts, so I wouldn't know what they would do if it was a major issue or if warranty is no longer valid.

Crazy price! I have the previous model (same max. pressure). Bought it at least 5yrs ago for maybe $90-ish. Use it maybe 5x per year and it works great. Plenty strong to clean brick patio and walls, outdoor furniture. I do use pump preserver somewhat frequently. It's that stuff in a can that attaches to the water intake and you spray it into the pump. Very easy and quick maintenance.

I've had this for about a year and absolutely love it, it has a decent amount of power and is quiet to run and fairly quick/easy to setup.

It's not going to replace a beast gas powered washer but for quick washes and detailing around the yard or washing down cars it is great.

The first one I received has a broken power cord from too much stress during shipping. Sunjoe made the exchange very simple and painless as well, so good customer service (as far as I can tell).

i really wanted one, but not sure after reading the negative reviews about broken components and difficult customer service. Anyone here has real experience?
I own one. I hate it. It was fine for about a year for light duty (i.e. great for regular car washes, a patio is doable but will take forever, siding is not really doable because you have to get too close for it to do anything).

The reason I hate it is because it's cheaply made and they use proprietary fittings, so when parts break it's difficult to find parts that will work. Even their O rings are difficult to match to any in a couple of kits I have, so I had to find a new wand when it developed an internal leak. Hoses don't connect to standard power washer hoses. Things that would be easy to fix if they used standard parts.

It's also broken once. The mechanism that stops the pump when it reaches pressure stopped working. I took it apart and put it back together and it works again, but it will sometimes start and stop repeatedly. I've never abused the thing and mostly used it a couple times a month for car washes, so it was disappointing to see it break.

I wouldn't buy it again even at this price. It feels like disposable garbage.

Good enough for a car. Not good enough for concrete. A great deal though

In for one. It's just a spare for my vacation home to clean off the SxS and spray down the porch every now and then. Should be fine.

Tired of hauling my good one back and forth.

Thanks!

I needed this for the undercarriage of my new Nissan suv. Muddy dirt sticking to it from my roads in my neighborhood

In addition to the quick connects (which are a life saver), you need an M22 15mm to M22 14mm for a tight seal. Here's one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FZ8J1CC

I have the similar SPX2598-MAX and here are some of my experience using it
  • Most electric pressure washers with 13 amp motor deliver very similar cleaning power. Some have a higher running PSI and lower GPM. Some have a lower running PSI and higher GPM. The SPX3xxx series has a 14.5 amp motor that is slightly more powerful. If you need something more powerful, go for a gas pressure washer (and deal with the gas engine maintenance)
  • If you use a foam cannon, upgrade the orifice to a 1.1mm orifice for a few dollars to get thicker foam.
  • Sun Joe uses M22-15mm hose connectors while most other brands use M22-14mm connectors. You can buy adapters to hook up 3rd party accessories.
  • Upgrade the M22 connection to Quick Disconnect. Otherwise you will need to screw on and off the hose every time and the o-rings will fail soon. You can also buy a 50-pack o-rings for about $10. The biggest complain about Sun Joe pressure washers are water leak due to failed o-rings. The motor itself is not bad.
  • The SPX2xxx series only comes with a 20 feet hose. Most people find it too short for car wash if you don't want to move the pressure washer around during the wash. Consider to upgrade to a 50 feet hose.
  • The SPX2xxx series pressure washer gun uses proprietary M14-9mm connector to the hose. If you upgrade the hose you need to replace the gun as well. I bought this pressure washer gun + foam cannon + 5 nozzles [amazon.com] for $24.

Thanks for detailed info. Do you have links to the o rings and hose adapters / quick disconnect?

Does this quick disconnect compatible with the pressure washer? https://www.amazon.com/Mingle-Pre...pons&psc=1
