Sun JoeSPX3500 Brushless Induction Electric Pressure Washer, w/Brass Hose Connector

First, this item was purchased through Amazon Warehouse at their set price. There was no discount or any compensation for writing this review.This unit was purchased to replace a Karcher that started to act a little quirky. No big deal, I got it for free from someone used and it allowed me to confirm that I wanted a pressure washer. The first observation is just how heavy the Sunjoe is in comparison. The Sunjoe is at least 3X heavier than the Karcher. I think the Sunjoe is listed as 46 lbs and I think that is pretty accurate. It was easier to just pick the Karcher up and carry it, not so with the Sunjoe.Assembly is pretty easy with just 9 screws required. Even taking my time and making sure everything was just right, it took about 20 minutes to have it ready to use. The unboxing is also pretty easy. The main unit and each part are in individual plastic bags and there are some cardboard fillers. No styrofoam pieces to fight with.In use, this things works really well. I think that it should be noted that the rated PSI is 2000 with a MAX of 2300. This is right on the outside of the box. The Karcher unit this replaces was 1600 psi. This is definitely a better unit and it knocked months of crud off my wife's car today. The only thing left was a film that water alone will never remove no matter how much pressure is behind it. I used my foam lance to apply soap and it worked just as good as with the Karcher.An interesting feature is that the quick disconnect for the tips snaps back and all you need to do to attach another is to push it on and the quick disconnect will snap into place and hold it on. The storage thing for the tips works well too. Just simply push a tip into place and pull another out. There are some plastic spring arms to hold the tips and they seem to be tuned fairly well. They come off easy enough and on just as easy.The cord wrap bottom spins around so that you can get the cord off easy enough. It is weird that it has a lot of detents, probably every 10-15 degrees or so. I would expect something more like every 90 degrees. To me, it is just wrong and it feels like you are breaking something even though you aren't. Not a good "user experience" on this item.I know that Sunjoe makes another model with a hose reel. I chose not to go that route because the hose would have lots of small curls in it and it is another link point or two to have issues with. The little hook provided to put the hose on is just too little. The hose is a pretty stiff thing and the hook just isn't big enough to make it easy to put the hose on it. This just feels like an afterthought and they could make it much better for just a few pennies of plastic.One other item that struck me as a little strange is that the garden hose attachment is on the front and the pressure washer hose attachment is on the back. So while you are using it, you tend to be looking at the back and if you need to turn it off you have to walk around to the front to do so. Again, something just a little off in the "user experience".These are just small nitpicks, but I wanted to mention them in case they are truly important for someone reading this review.I have only used the unit once and it performed very well. No issues at all with the working and it seems to have plenty of power. I am not a heavy user of pressure washers but I will use it about 1 per month or more for car washing and then the occasional thing around the house. I am hoping the induction motor makes this one last for a few years, even longer than the 2-year warranty (+90 days for registering online).BTW, one last item that was a little off was that I did not see the serial number on the unit at all. I ended up finding it on a sticker that is on one of the pieces of paper in the packet with instructions. There is also a tip cleaner taped to the back of the English instrustions. Very easy to miss these 2 items.

I bought this with my own money, because I needed a power washer and this one checked off all the boxes.First off it appears that this one is very similar to the Lowes only version of Greenworks GPW2200. I’m a big Greenworks fan and have several Greenworks cordless tools, which I love. I have visions of my garagemajal with a Greenworks wall of tools!! But the Sun Joe has twice the warranty, and is available from Amazon, so no trip to Lowes. Also the Sun Joe is priced slightly better. The biggest bonus is the Sun Joe warranty though. 2 years versus 1 for Greenworks.I did opt for the Amazon warehouse offering. It was $40 cheaper, because of damaged outer packaging, as seen in the photo. When it arrived I discovered a brand new power washer with all contents still sealed in plastic, and completely unharmed. However the outer packaging had been damaged during original shipping so it was likely returned by the shipping company, to Amazon, and then offered as an Amazon Warehouse deal. I’ve had this happen to me on past orders. I would expect something to arrive, only to get a notification that it had been rejected by the shipper for damage. So in this case the product inside was fine, and the damaged packaging is already in my recycle bin. So I’ll take the savings. Don’t be shy about taking a bargain from the Amazon warehouse deals. If it turns out to not be what you expect you still have the same great Amazon return options.On to the power washer.I am very pleased with this washer. I previously had a 13 hp Honda power washer. It was a power house, but it was huge, heavy, awkward, noisy, and just plain inconvenient to use. I seldom got it out because it was a mess to deal with. Plus storing gas, or constantly going to get new gas, and the general mess from gas and oil. I decided I need a powerful electric power washer. This Sun Joe is not as powerful as my 13 hp beast, but it is plenty powerful. I used it to wash the dreaded lovebugs off both cars, immediately after assembly. You do need to use the 0 degrees tip for bug removal, but it has the power to do it. Now with the Honda, if you put the zero degree tip in and found a rock chip, you were stripping paint. This Sun Joe did not seem to threaten to strip paint, just powerfully remove the bugs, and most of the guts. I call that winning.Assembly was simple and quick and only requires a Phillips head screw driver. Mt he hose is a bit short, and that may be the only minor downfall. A 35 foot hose would be a huge bonus. But the hose, and the other parts of this unit all seem to be high quality. I did add a quick connect with flow stopper PLG Quick Release Garden Hose connectors Set for the supply water hose. I’m planning on ordering a swivel Ultimate Washer UW16-PA54A3 Gun-hose Swivel Joint, Kink Free Hose Fitting, Anti-Twist Hose Brass Fitting for Pressure Power Washer Hoses for the pressure hose, so the hose does not twist and tangle.I also ordered a foam cannon, and I’m very excited to do a YouTube video with this pressure washer, and the foam cannon Tikteck Car Wash Pressure Washer Jet Adjustable Foam Wash Gun Bottle Car Wash Gun Snow Foam Lance, Foam Cannon Foam Blaster With 1/4 Quick Connector with Wash Glove. I’m planning on washing the cars and the house. This unit does have the onboard soap tank. I’ll be testing and comparing it to the cannon, but typically the onboard soap tanks don’t throw foam. You need the stickiness of foam soap to release dirt, for a closer to touch free washing experience. Touch free is good!!I’ll update this review after I have more time behind the sprayer.

Esta pieza venía quebrada. Que puedo hacer?https://www.amazon.com.mx/progress-tracker/package/ref=pe_32560000_475833290_302_E_DDE?_encoding=UTF8&from=gp&itemId=&orderId=702-1852572-0894608&packageIndex=0&shipmentId=28942860715301#P

Had a recent contract, cleaning over 100 hotel decks/patios. They were in VERY rough shape to say the least.Nonetheless, this thing ran solid 8+ hours a day, non-stop for 8 days straight... no problems at all.However, make sure you use an outlet rated for 20amp or more, as it routinely flipped the breaker on 15 amps. Also, make sure that’s the machine is turned off before plugging it in or it will definitely flip the breaker. The switch tends to rotate out of the “on” position, making you think it’s off if you don’t look close enough. A large “toggle” type switch rather than a rotary one would be an improvement.The lack of a hose real wasn’t that big a deal, and would be one more point of potential failure, so I’m glad I went with this model and saved myself some $$. However, a “rotary” connection to the “gun” would be very helpful for putting it away, and I may look into buying an after-market part if I get a similar contract in the future.The nozzle used for the detergent doesn’t foam or spray so much as “sprinkle” the detergent around. It’s more just to distribute the detergent, requiring you to scrub in the detergent manually. The detergent won’t work with any other nozzle attachment. Basically forcing you to buy their foaming attachment... (boo!). A work around is that going from the detergent nozzle to a cleaning one provides a few moments of pressurized detergent application.These are all minor complaints and irritants. The machine is solidly built, and runs like a champ.If you are thinking of getting the patio and deck cleaning attachment, don’t bother. It doesn’t really work, and takes more time to use than using a basic nozzle. At least, it didn’t work well for me, mileage may very. Great in theory, but the engineering nerds (said with total respect) need to spend a bit more time in the field with this one.Finally, I would LOVE to see a “professional” model that combined this with a wet-vac. Cleaning on this scale often means scooping up large amounts of muck from partially enclosed patios with no point of drainage. A tool that could both suck AND blow at the same time would be PERFECT, and would provide the opportunity for the nerds to make a machine with three dials. THREE DIALS!!!!! Come on nerds... think about it.

Great little pressure washer. Love that it shuts off with trigger release and starts up again with trigger pull. The handle portion was damaged when received. (A screw mounting Post was broken). Tried contacting Snow Joe by phone, but due to COVID 19 phone contact not available. I contacted by email and waited a few days for reply. They responded and assigned case#. Didn’t hear anything again for a while and tried calling, and phone service up and running again. Agent checked my case# and confirmed new part being sent out. Luckily, the broken handle was functional during all this and I’ve been able to use the washer. Very happy with this pressure washer which replaced my gas one. Love it. 2 year Warranty is good and able to add 4 extra years through Amazon. Only downfall is hose a little short. Ordered 25’ extension (Snow Joe brand) from Amazon and now have lots of length.

I purchased my SunJoe SPX3500 in July 2018. I'm writing this review in March 2021.Overall this is a good pressure washer, but it has it's draw backs like all "cheap" electric pressure washers.Over the past 2 and half years I've used this washer for everything from cleaning the car, to cleaning my deck, drive way, the side of the house and even a bit of the street out front.Pros:- This thing is pretty quiet, when you first start it up you'll notice that the brushless motor is much less noticeable than any other electric pressure washer you've used before.- Great Connections, If you want to wash your car with this a Snow Foam cannon will directly connect to the wand, unlike the Kartcher models.- Good selection of nozzles for different surfaces, Grey and Green is fantastic for washing cars, Yellow is good for pressuring washing most surfaces, Red will tear your foot off.- It does any job you ask of it.Cons:- The included hose is not long enough, you will barely make it around your car. If you purchase this pressure washer do yourself a favor and get an extra hose extension.- Flow and pressure. 1.48gpm is not a lot of flow, and you'll only get close to that using the Grey or Green nozzle. If you want higher pressure, closer to the 2300psi using the red or yellow nozzlew you'll take a significant hit on flow. This means jobs at least feel like that take much longer than say a gas powered unit that will flow and have pressure.- Reliability. This is the main reason why I'm writing this review. In the two and half years of owning this, I've had 2 warranty claims. The first one, the hose connector was leaking tremendously. SunJoe to their credit just sent me a replacement part that was even improved quality. The second, was just yesterday. The Pump has burnt out. After only 2.5 years of only residential usage it burnt out. I called Sunjoe and even though I'm out of warranty they're sending me a brand new unit.So overall this unit is both good and bad. It's quiet, it does the job and has great connections. On the downside it has been less than reliable. But I still gave it 4 stars because of SunJoe's excellent customer service with them replacing the unit altogether. You can however purchase a cheap 2 year extended warranty which I have now done. Giving my washer a 4 year replacement warranty. So I would recommend if you buy this washer, contacting SunJoe within your first 2 years and getting that warranty.

Took around 10 minutes to put everything together, sturdy hard plastic and screws with very easy instructions.Easy to use and maneuver, cleaned the patio off and used the 2nd nozzle and was very impressed at the grime it removed. Hose is a little short at 20ft but to be expected as it notes the hose length, no surprises.LOVE that the motor stops when you are not using it so you can talk to your kids or yell at the wife to grab the kids, lol.Very happy with mine!
