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.

Buy this adapter [amazon.com] to convert the Sun Joe's water outlet into common M22-14mm. Then get a set of M22-14mm to 3/8 Quick Connect adapters [amazon.com]. For o-rings simply search "pressure washer o-ring" on Amazon and pick what you like.
If you decide to continue using the Sun Joe original washer gun and the original hose, use this connector [amazon.com] to upgrade the machine-to-hose connection to QC. Note that the hose-to-gun connection is non-standard and I believe the o-ring size is 3/16 ID x 5/16 OD

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.
Like some of the comments here, I also thought this was such a great "deal" and picked one up on black Friday. You truly get what you pay for, especially with this brand. Also, their brands (Sun Joe, Snow Joe, Aqua Joe) are ubiquitously posted on SD and other deal sites, the majority of the time by staff. Would a company making actual decent products need to shill so aggressively? Their business model seems to be high volume sales, low quality, zero QC. Buy at your own risk.
Question is, what electric pressure washer is out there with better reliability for say $200 or less? I feel like most/all of them in that price range suffer from early failure. I'm willing to spend more than $60 if it's going to last.

If you insist on buying one of these, splurge for the extended warranty.
