To fix this problem, check the springs and seals of the unloader valve and replace it if it’s damaged or try to readjust the unloader screw. Sun Joe pressure washers are among the best-valued budget-friendly electric pressure washers on the market. This blog post will help to troubleshoot the most common issues with a Sun Joe pressure washer.
Best to use a light cleaning soapy chemical on it like you were washing your car and then use a 40° nozzle to wash the chemical off. I should explain here the benefit of a high-pressure water cleaner over your garden hose. Your garden hose will likely shoot water out at 60psi. These days, the lowest pressure a lightweight electric unit will shoot out is, like the above Greenworks, 1500psi. So straight away you’d be saying, wow, that’s 25 times the pressure of my garden hose, I’ll hardly be able to hold onto that. Portable electric pressure washers down this end of the range sell from $79 to about $180.
Believe me, that’s critical for us as we have a long driveway, but we can also reach the other side of our RV to blow dirt off. So we settled on the Sun Joe SPX3000 about six months ago now. It has 2030psi at 1.76 gpm and a stack of good built-in features that I’ll go into later. The only one I found quite impressive was a new model the PowRyte which came with 2100psi and 1.8gpm and only $160.
A little like the reverse of ‘coloring in.’ If you think your house or fence is clean, wait until you take to them with a pressure washer. Right in front of your eyes, long strips of green stuff will be washed off as you tackle it with your wand. I do find it odd that they’ve got the garden hose fitting at the front and the pressure hose at the back, but having a look around, most are like this.

A combination of measurements, based on dBA, reflecting the proximity of the operator to the pressure washer. The most important feature of any pressure washer is the max psi because that really determines how you can use Champion Power Equipment the pressure washer. At 2030psi, the Sun Joe SPX3000 can handle a variety of tasks from cleaning and stripping decks, revitalizing concrete, removing mildew, cleaning patio furniture, pulling out oil stains and more.
They range from being able to tackle heavy-duty, commercial-grade jobs to helping you clean the summer’s dirt and dust off your patio furniture. My 2000 psi Kracher only 2 years old was loosing water pressure. After the thing wouldn’t start I followed everyone’s advise about contaminates and cleaned the carburetor. In the interim, I ordered the electric pressure washer not really thinking it would do the job but it was great.
