There’s quite a range of these little portable electric pressure washers out there now that weren’t there 15 years ago. Those were the days when if a manufacturer like Karcher said they were made in Germany, they were. No big deal about that, as they are now so cheap.
OK, so we’ve mentioned more than enough times that the SPX3000 features a powerful motor and 2030 PSI output to help you enjoy maximum cleaning power – you get it. But as great as these features are, they form only a small part of what makes a pressure washer truly useful and usable. Just as necessary is the pressure washer’s ability to make that power as manageable as possible to improve and simplify the cleaning experience for beginner and advanced users alike. No matter how powerful a pressure washer is, if it’s out of reach in terms of price, then it won’t sell. For the Sun Joe SPX3000, it’s not equipped with the most powerful motor, but at $150, it’s an affordable option for people who need it in lighter cleaning projects around the house.
When you have finished using the detergent injection system, remove the detergent suction tube from the detergent bottle and insert it into 1.3 gal of fresh water. Siphon water at low pressure for one minute so that all the detergent is flushed through the system. Remove the detergent bottle and rinse it until it is thoroughly cleaned. Install the Soap nozzle on the spray wand (Fig. 23).
Using extension cords, unapproved detergents, or anything prohibited in the user manual can void the warranty. The Sun Joe SPX3000 is the most powerful pressure washer we reviewed. On the other hand, other users have Champion Power Equipment reported that the hose often uncoils itself leaving a tangled mess in the pressure washer’s wake. Our position is that the hose-reel could cause potential issues with the maneuverability of the Sun Joe SPX3001 model.
Basically, the 3001 has this little hose reel attachment at the top that allows you to reel in the hose and pull it from that spot. The Sun Joe SPX3000 and SPX3001 are both super light, making them easy to store and maintain. You will be receiving a welcome packet in 7-10 days which includes a sample pack of detergent and a new upgraded connection. SunJoe said to get it repaired…couldn’t find anyone to repair a soap dispenser. Extended warranty service would not locate a repair service or replace unit. Ned to be hooked up to water to get the pressure required to make the unit function.
The hose reel on the SPX 3001 features a crank that allows you to conveniently wind and unwind the pressure washing hose. The Sun Joe SPX3000 and SPX 3001 are neck and neck again. If you need to pressure wash tall structures or two story homes, the Sun Joe SPX3000 and the Sun Joe S3001 come equipped with a 34-inch extension spray wand. The Sun Joe SPX3000 and the Sun Joe SPX 3001 both feature a 20-foot high pressure hose and a garden hose adapter. The Sun Joe SPX3000 is a powerful pressure washer that has a fantastic selection of nozzles to help you clean.
This puts the model squarely in the medium-duty range, making it perfect for small jobs, whether outdoor furniture or vehicles like cars and bikes. You can even do driveways, decks, and patios if they are small. I would have liked slightly more power for cleaning my redwood deck but for every other job, the pressure was sufficient. And it’s possible that using higher pressure to clean my deck may have damaged the wood. Engaging the trigger lock keeps the spray wand from accidentally discharging high-pressure spray that could injure or cause damage. The Sun Joe Pressure Washer comes with five nozzles, each with a different spray pattern.
