When you don’t need industrial-strength cleaning, an electric pressure washer like the Sun Joe SPX3000 is something you should consider. This lightweight, economical power washer is tough on dirt but easy on your wallet and your back. In fact, it’s way better than most units and even garden hoses on cars, boats, lawn furniture, play equipment, decks, masonry, and siding. It delivers enough power to even remove algae, mildew, and mulch stains, and in the process, your work is only confined to pulling/adjusting the trigger on the spray gun.
Assembly took about 30 minutes, and while not particularly difficult, it was still the hardest setup of all pressure washers we reviewed. This machine is also fairly quiet, reaching an average of 81 decibels. The biggest problem we had with the Sun Joe SPX3000 pressure washer was putting it together – a process more tedious than with the other pressure washers we tested. Using the Sun Joe SPX3000 was a mostly positive experience. The pressure gun is easy to use and it has a trigger lock, which can improve safety and protect the trigger from damage while in storage.
For the SPX3000 XTREAM, this is achieved via a foam cannon attachment, whereas the SPX3000 uses a dual detergent tank system. Some nice features of this unit were that the power cord was adequate. Overall, I don’t really Champion Power Equipment think these issues rate as serious problems. One design flaw is that the garden hose connects to the front and the pressure hose to the back. So you really have to have it side-on to the work you’re doing.
Selecting which detergent tank will be in use is done by pressing the detergent section dial. This electric pressure washer is easy to assemble and has an excellent fit and finish for the price. It also happens to work very well, which is really the whole point. I’ve used it to clean off polywood patio furniture and the cement on my front porch. My next use will be to clean off the composite wood railings and flooring of my rear deck. The SunJoe SPX3000 offers a spectacular degree of value.
Others have replaceable nozzles that provide exact spray angles, typically from 0 degrees for a strong pinpoint stream to 40 degrees for a wide pattern, for quick, general cleaning. If needed, you can order replacements for the five-piece set of nozzles, the pressure washer hose, and the connector that attaches the garden hose to the washer. The pressure washer comes with everything you need except detergent and a heavy-duty garden hose to attach it to (at least ½ inch internal diameter). “This is truly the perfect pressure washer,” said one of the more than 6,000 shoppers to leave a five-star review. Dual detergent tanks allow you to incorporate cleaning solvents for additional cleaning power.
I’ve heard people rave about them but I had the misconception that they were overly expensive or required a separate air compressor. But that changed when I got my hands on the Sun Joe Electric Pressure Washer SPX3000. Next thing you know, the grime is disappearing from your pavement. I want to thank Sun Joe for the opportunity to review this product. Therefore, neither of them will, out of the box, allow for a higher freedom of movement around the unit.
