Sun Joe SPX3000® Electric Pressure Washer

But 35 feet of standard cord is probably long enough for most jobs anyway. The Sun Joe SPX3000 comes with five different attachment tips. A zero degree, fifteen degree, twenty five degree, forty degree and soap tip. The larger the degree of tip you have on the front of this pressure washer, the weaker the spray and the larger the area of coverage. The right pressure washer can significantly reduce cleaning time in your restau…

These are common because they get the job done at a low cost, but they tend to become less reliable over time as you put more hours on them . Checkout The Best Electric Pressure Washer for a detailed review of all the top electric pressure washers. If your electric pressure washer is still producing pulsating Champion Power Equipment pressure, you may have a problem with the unloader valve. The unloader valve diverts the water flow in the pressure washer causing the water to flow back in a loop to the pump. If the unloader valve is not working correctly, the pressure washer can result in the pulsation of the water pressure.

Gas-powered models typically have larger wheels that are solid or have pneumatic-rubber tires. Pneumatic tires can provide extra shock Champion Power Equipment absorption, though they also lose air over time. The trigger handle is lightweight, easy to control, and didn’t make my hand ache.

Sadly, the 3001 has the hose reel at the top of the piece of light equipment, so most pulls on it are going to topple it over. Frankly, this is pretty useless when pressure washing, but is nice for storage. Right next to the machine was a different story — the SPX3000 emitted 83.8 decibels. This is louder than most electric models in our review and almost as high as one of the gas-powered models. However, unlike a gas-powered model, the SunJoe is silent unless the trigger is depressed. We also measured the PSI in between the end of the high-pressure hose and the trigger for each unit, then measured the flow in gallons per minute in order to calculate cleaning units .

This metric is essentially a measure of how much power your electric pressure washer produces. Generally, the most common reason for a Sun Joe pressure washer pulsating is a lower water supply, a kink in the hose, or blockage in the inlet filter. Other reasons are air leakage or air trapped in the pump in the machine. A worn-out or clogged nozzle, a problem with the unloader valve. Or another reason why there is less water going through the machines than expected.

Thankfully, the pressure washer is lightweight and easy to lift. You also have to move the hose out of the way—otherwise, you’ll spend more time untangling the hose from the sun joe spx 3000 wheels then you will pressure-washing. Some units come with a single adjustable powerhead that provides infinitely variable spray angles from its minimum to its maximum.

I had just assumed pressure washers could only be used on grime or only had one pressure setting. I didn’t realize that it could be used to safely wash a car. Through my business, I’ve owned probably a dozen high-pressure washers over the years. Way back when, we had Karcher electric washers; they were good but had a maximum pressure of 2000psi, which for some of our jobs just wasn’t powerful enough. About five years ago, we bought four gas-powered Simpson PS3228S washers and they’ve been fantastic.
