Thank you for the info. I'm going to finish these comments and cancel my order on the 4001 I purchased last night. Looking forward to your other reviews.
PSI specs are identical!! WTF-A deal breaker!
matt even thought you hate all the cheaper pressure washer you are the man performing the best test in the world brother
all the other reviews on youtube i watched is crap compare to yours thank you for the efford you spend on stuff you hate man hahaha
Wow. Glad I found this video! Don't know much about pressure washers but was going to get my dad a re-furbished Sun Jo 2000 for 80 bucks. Now, I'm thinking I need something else. Great job and very honest and informative- thanks!
I don't know how to feel... I bought an open box sunjoe spx3001 on ebay for $70 free shipping.
I haven't received it yet. Everything looks brand new, wand, hose, wheels, fittings.
But then I saw this video and I kind of regret buying it but at the same time I don't because of the price. I'm sure I will see a difference compared to my black and decker 1500psi. And i know it will be better but just listening to the experts that sunjoe is crap kind of frustrates me.
.....influencers.... Now i get it.
I like how you test the foam/rinse on everyone else's car :)
as a 4001 owner of 5 months...now i can really see where it stacks up in the lineup...Thanks a ton for doing this!!
OneMadFish I checked all the stats and with the modified gun & hose it rated well!
Ratings mean nothing with these.
Matt, I have the spx3500 just got the Karcher 1700 with your hose and gun there is no looking back! I only would use the spx3500 to foam and would use the garden hose to rinse. Looking forward to some flow with the Karcher and will getting a kranzla at some point! Thanks for all the hard work you put into this!
Can you change the ending scene of launch control in the gt3 to you re-enacting the sunjoe barf sound? It’s hilarious 😆
Hey Matt, I’m looking forward for you to do “Karcher”, as I have a K4. In Australia, Karcher service centres are in every major city. Which makes it very handy to buy parts and accessories for it. Kranzle is in Australia, however it’s in Melbourne which I’m in Brisbane. So it’s a little harder to even have a look at the models without jumping on a plane and travelling 3hs just to test out a pressure washer.
Is there a new spread sheet? the current link is bad.
I removed reel (not with hack saw) on my 3001. Since I had already bought the SJ 25 foot extension, I just screwed that directly to the outlet connection on the back. Perfect connection. Turns out the reel hose is only 20 feet, not 25 and that is before the bit you lose that stays on the reel. Much more usable with the 25 direct and Matt’s gun , cannon, and wand. Next stop is 50 foot Cobra Jet. After that, Krenzle...
I respect Matt's efforts and research. I've been using my Sun Joe SPX3000 for three years now and it cleans my car's just fine. $150 on a PW is good enough for most people.
Well...it’s not good enough for me.
@@ObsessedGarage no doubt. I want to thank you again. Because of you and your channel my car care and attention to detail has been dialed in! 😁
@@ObsessedGarage The entry level Kränzle (Kränzle 1152 TS T) retails for 800$ here in Austria, do you think it will be good enough for my cars or should I go for a bigger modell?
The 1152TST is the one you want.
Thank you
Thanks for the your work and the videos, I am in the market for a pressure washer, these help.
Dude comps these to his Kranzle. Thing is..... these do what they're marketed to do just fine. Wash cars and maybe clean some patio furniture or siding........ for about 1/8 if not 1/10 the price of the Kranzle...... which has the same amount of power just about. Does the Kranzle push more water at the same pressure? Yes. But again..... at a MUCH more premium price. If you detail for a living or as a side gig.... yeah, get a Kranzle. If you're a normal DIY dude or chick the Greenworks, SunPros, and Ryobis of the world will more than likely accomplish what you want it to do..... which for most pressure washer users is just washing their car. Which normal people do probably once every other week..... more dedicated car owners..... once a week. That's 26-52 uses a year. Toss in maybe some siding cleaning or exterior window washing, and maybe some patio furniture cleaning...... 30-60 uses a year? Is that worth getting a $500-$1200(!!!) pressure washer? IMO....... no. You want more power for that ONE job you have a year...... rent a gas powered pressure washer from any big box auto/home improvement/hardware store. Like for when you want to pressure wash your deck, sidewalks, patio, driveway, etc. I live in Northern Illinois. I have the same thoughts on snow blowers/throwers. You'll use your snow blower like, what..... 5 times a winter on a REALLY snowy winter. Is that worth even purchasing at about $400-700 for a good one? No. Buy a shovel...... with how fat the average person is..... you need the exercise, haha. Just busting balls...... but kind of serious. OR..... if you're proud of your fatness or are just too lazy..... pay the neighbor kid $20-30 to shovel your driveway..... I digress. Point is.... the law of diminishing returns most DEFINITELY applies to 99.9999% of consumers who just do shit themselves around the house. If you're a weekend warrior a Sun Joe or Greenworks pressure washer will likely do all you'll need a pressure washer to do..... the few dozen times you'll use it a year..... if that. If you feel like you need a higher end machine.... go with Karcher..... but watching your tests of the Karcher.... they perform about as well as the Sun Joes and Greenworks.... AR.... etc. line..... sooooo, yeah. NO NEED to spend much more than $200 for an electric pressure washer if you're just a weekend warrior. If you want a pressure washer solely to just clean your car with all you need IMO is about 1.2 GPM. I mean think about it. You're literally just using it to pre soak, pre wash, and rinse with to knock off the loose dirt. If you "need" 1,000 psi at more than a 1.2 GPM rate is it REALLY loose dirt/grime on your car? Side note with the lower GPMS of the "inferior" brands..... little risk of damaging your paint. If you're pushing 1000+ psi at 2 GPM or more on your car you better keep that wand a respectable distance from your paint.
All that said..... you deserve a medal and a pat on the back for doing such an in depth test of soooo many pressure washers. Just seem a little snobbish about it. Of course the Kranzle is the cream of the crop..... they "only" cost like $700-1,200, haha. It's like saying anything less than a Lamborghini/Ferrari/Porsche/insert high end car manufacturer name here.... is useless as a car. When it comes to electric pressure washers, from what I find online, you'll either be spending $80-150.... a handful of $200-300....... or about $1000 on a pressure washer. There really is no middle ground it seems. And fuck me.... just did a quick search and see the Kanzle K2020T is $1700..... stupid. You can find gas powered pressure washers at 4000 psi rating and 4 GPM for $1500-1600. Or get a gas pressure washer with the equivalent specs as a Kanzle for like $400. Or.... again.... if you want more PSI or GPM for that 1 or 2 times a year you need those specs...... rent one. 1,000 psi at 1.2-1.7 GPM is more than adequate/enough to wash your car with. Again, most people who use a pressure washer for their car generally just use it to snow foam it..... it's not like you're blasting that foam onto your car..... even with a Kranzle. The literal point of snow foam is to just coat the car. As for rinsing or pre soaking the car..... 1000 psi and 1.2 gpm is fine. Is it the BEST? No...... but when the pressure washer doing it costs $150 and the alternative is spending 7..... 8...... 9.....10+ times more than that for a Kranzle pressure washer - it's not the best but it is a HELL of a lot more economically sound.... and intelligent to just go with the $150 pressure washer.
Dude comps these to every pressure washer. That's kind of the point here.
Thanks for this series. I was so close to purchasing the SunJoe 4001. While I save a few more bucks, I'll just keep on looking.
I like the Karcher K1700.
As painful as this series was, I watched every minute. Thank you for putting it together. It makes me even more thankful for my Kranzle
You are blessed man, you did not needed to go through with this painful path
When I was a junior in high school I got a Black Ford Probe GT. 164hp. 5 speed manual. It was basically a Mazda. And the 2.5l V6 was prone to throwing rods. But I loved it.
Since you got everything set up , why don’t you test the kranzle , I would love to see the outcome..
Here come all the Sun Joe fan boys !!! Lol
This is crazy when your thinking your upgrading in the Sun Joe line your still getting the same crappy pump if not worse , man do they have everyone fooled until now , Thanks Matt
Yep...
@Obsessed Garage I plan to use my PW once a month or so, if that.. mostly to wash cars, sometimes to deal with cleaning house/cement. That said, if I had the ability to I would buy the Kranzle right now. I tend to spend WAY more than I should purely for quality/performance reasons. I ended up buying the 3501, primarily because the brushless from what I read will last a lot longer, and the instant on/off is what you want vs apparently (as I read) keeping the unit on and NOT running the PW can cause some sort of overheating in the engine and kill it faster. Thus, for the short term, e.g. the next year or so, the 3501 should do fine for my needs. I ended up buying the Adams gun/foamer kit, which has a lower PSI/GPM rating than the unit you used, so hopefully the 3501 will do well enough with that for my needs.
Thanks Matt Great Job, No SunJoe for me, Right Now the Greenworks 2000 PSI appears to be the Ticket
Haha Matt’s pick of the GreenWorks 2000 over all others tested so far makes me so happy because that’s the one I have. And it was pretty much chance that I picked that one at Lowe’s when I bought it almost a year ago now.
It would be fun to see this same test done for the Kranzle line. I think it would provide a real objective difference in performance. I absolutely love my 1622 and it was a massive upgrade over the SunJoe I had before it. Its hard to put into words how much better quality of life you get with the the Kranzle because there is such a big difference in quality between the two. For something I use nearly once a week, its well worth the extra cost to me.
I’m anxiously waiting for the SunJoe PRO models to be tested. I’m saving up for a OG Kranzle but I’m interested to see the true GPM on the 9004-pro model since it’s rated at 2.0gpm
Love this series, the aggravation makes it 10x better! haha
im using sun joe brushless (it comes with many names here in asia such as wisen, apache etc). i agree with you that everyone should stay away from it. if sun joe is going to be your first pressure washer i guess it will be okay. BUT if u ever touched or used karcher, kranzle, stanley even.. just forget about going after sun joe's
Thank you Matt
I am so confused. I need an electric washer under $300 with proven highest psi and highest gpm to clean my concrete yard and driveway. Help
Matt....the rain man of pressure washers!! :) love it!
I'm a Detailer in UK Omg all this over washing A Vehicle. Reasonable Pressure Washer with the right chemicals And know what you doing Not have a problem. Just trying get spend more money for no reason at all.
That would 100% qualify you to never be hired by me.
Sean Mcgrath you know this is Obsessed Garage right? Clue’s in the name
@@ObsessedGarage I was only commenting sorry, I love your videos and Hire me? oh ok. I will enjoy watching your other posts. Regards Sean & Merry Xmas
R.i.p sunjoe fans
Credit where credit is due bro! Guess what I'm returning!! Lol
Surprising that the higher end models are not as good in terms of performance as the entry level ones.
I do appreciate your videos, it really didn't take me long to realize the sunjoe i bought didn't have common fittings which all the videos that i saw never mentioned it lol. However, it is still a good pressure washer for what i paid for it and what I use it for. I'll probably move up to greenworks big boy in a few years, i like the auto drop/start feature since my sunjoe has it.
Matt's sanity seems to be fracturing with every video
Matt stepping on some toes here.
I always do. Speaking from experience usually does that.
@@ObsessedGarage This comprehensive benchmark is very interesting.
I though air pressure was more important than water flow to form foam.
Also companies seems to be saving on the 'Cheap Hoose' to reach the sales Target Price.
The only questionable measure - IMO - is the sound meter bcs there is a road w/ passing cars behind.
A shield/screen would correct that as low frequency sounds stacks and makes a difference at the end.
But that's immaterial.
The pump is louder than any ambient noise, so the measure output should be about the same.
Inb4 "my sunjoe serves me well" or similar
Ha, ha... Yep...
I’m surprised you to be worried about a $280 brushless sunjoe models in comparison to the kranzel. Can’t wait to see the specs/performance with the pro commercial graded sunjoe models at roughly a third of the cost comparison towards the kranzel. That the video I’m waiting to see!!
I was joking. There is zero chance any of these any good. The "Pro" models are going to be junk too.
Obsessed Garage Lol I hear ya but are they good enough at $400-$500 when packaged together with all your modification (gun+wand+hose+foam+QD)
$400 is a lot of money for a junk pump with plastic fittings and 1.5 GPM that never turns off. Just spend $950 and get the real deal.
Matt, I have a 3000 and I need a front fitting (mine leaks) and I want your short handle and foamer. Once you make a SunJoe package I’m on it.
Unfortunately I ordered the 3001 before I watched this and it’s one giant POS. I tried giving it a chance and it’s going right back.
I have to give you guys props for all this testing.. pretty amazing and it took you some guys some time. Out of all these cheaper consumer grade pressure washers.. which one did you find to be the best?
Karcher K1700
I would pay money just to watch Matt review shitty products lol.
Was hoping you would review the Sunjoe SPX9006-PRO. Very similar advertised specs as the kranzle. 1300 psi and 2GPM
Paul Lee that one is forthcoming 👍🏻
That cross threading squeal is gonna be real fun to sample and meme in the FB group.
First thank you for doing all this as i was in the market for an electric pressure washer, however; I think your opinion may be slightly biased. I truly love to take car of my vehicles but until i get my ultimate garage setup in my forever home, i would never consider spending $1200 on a pressure washer. For the weekend warriors and the kids getting into detailing its just not realistic to spend $3000+ to get all the stuff as you recommend to wash a car, i just hope you keep that in mind when making suggestions....i still think you can have a pretty decent setup for $300-$500 for your weekend type detailing guy. Having said that, im giving the green works gpw 2006 (which i can find no info on) its a 2000psi 1.2gpm, it was at lowes and prices wrong $260 retail and they listed it for $49. Got sick of running my gas powered briggs.
I am biased to not want to use junk. I am looking for the Honda Civic of pressure washer. Reliable, decent build quality, priced accordingly, and gets the job done doesn't exist. Decent for $300-$500 is not possible.
Obsessed Garage lol it wasn't a stab but let's be real, I feel there's something in that range that will suit 90% of your audience. For the sake of most of us and your sanity, let's hope you can find something in that warehouse that will meet your "Honda" requirements.
Would love to see you test Comet Static 1700 pressure washer. I believe it's built and designed in Italy. Never tried it, but very interested to see it go through OG testing.
Being built in Italy is usually not a good thing.
I also would love to see that! I don’t care where it’s made just care if it gets the OG stamp of approval. Is it worth the money? And will it last yrs to come?
So much work and only 19.5k views? This man is saving us SO much time. Thanks for all the hard work and time/money investment.
Heya Matt, also waiting to see the SPX9004-pro tested!
I just bought it yesterday.
Dude you rock!
@@ObsessedGarage Forgot to add, as you likely already know the SPX9004 has no cut off so that's one thing I've been meaning to look at sourcing. Mostly those are simple pressure switches that simply cut the power to the pump until it detects a drop again, then powers it up again. There are lots of spare manifold take offs on the SPX9004 to add one.
Matt - not sure if you are noticing this or not, but there is some sort of noise/interference in your video.
You can see faint ‘vertical sync lines’ moving from the bottom to the top of the frame. It’s easiest to see in the wrap up scene at the end (probably lighting).
Just wanted to give you a heads up in the event you haven’t caught it.
Gregg Morton I just saw that also. Could be something to do with the frequency of the LED lights used in the shop vs the camera shutter.
We had to shoot this in Auto mode to deal with all of the clouds rolling in and out. The LEDs in the garage have an issue with certain shutter speeds.
Just watched 4 videos of this project series, can't seem to find where the numbers are published. Anyway I can get a link or direction on the site.
4:48 truth about sunjoe's
Why didn’t you test the commercial sun joes? There really nice
I will, but they are not really nice. They are still branded SunJoe products.
there's a Pro sun joe series ???????!! lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess it depends on your definition of "PRO."
@@ObsessedGarage loll!~ ;-)- Mass PRO-duction is more like it!!
Yeah pretty much the Kranzle look alike version with lower pressure and high GPM... Well that's what they claim
After watching the vids I can’t unhear that whine at the end. Matt do this test with the kranzle 1322. Oops hadn’t got to end thx
Thanks Matt for doing all of this ... rain and all. I was interested in the results for the 4000/1 series as many have made a mini-OG wall mount version with it. It appears to be set to run with the feed/spray ends horizontally. With your understanding of pressure washer pumps, do you think there’s an issue with the vertical orientation mount with hose end feed at bottom and spray end at the top?
I don’t think it’s an issue. I don’t believe the motors have oil.
Matt, No one has done tests as in depth as you are in comparing pressure washers. Thank you for doing this! I know you cannot test every brand and model out there, but I am running the Stanley SHP2150. Do you know if one of the brands you are testing is making the Stanley? It has noticeably more pressure than my old Green Works 1600, but lacks GPM, as it doesn’t create the best foam, even through a 1.1 conversion in my MTM Foam Cannon. Can you shed some light on the Stanley, so I would know what kit to order from you?
Are you going to publish the data from all these tests in a chart or something?
Yes
I appreciate all of the time and money it’s taking in order to find out this data. Next car ford probe gt ? 😂 just kidding can’t wait for the 1M detail / mod series 🙃. Merry Christmas man.
Will you test some Makita pressure washers?
Probably not.
After watching this, Hopefully Santa brought me a Kranzle
By Santa, do you mean Visa or Master Card? :)
Calendyr close, Santa = wife’s approval 👍
Was this as painful to do as it was to watch?
Yes...
I’m so late I just subscribe to your channel trying to buy a sunjoe and get mtm short gun
What I want to know from all your test which is the best one from all those cheap ones just to wash your car
cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1239/9256/files/Pressure_Washer_Spreadsheet_Final_1.pdf?v=1585925056
Lol I can imagine some sonjoe executive siting in a board meeting... "dont know why the more expensive models are not selling only the cheap small ones are moving off the shelf"
mugenrios2k I don’t think that much thought goes into it for them. It’s just a marketing and price point driven company. The problem is most people, including myself who actually owns a 4001 sj, is they are looked at by many as a disposable pressure washer. Cheap and good for a couple of seasons until it breaks or something better comes along. It works well for what it is and nothing more. The problem with them trying to move up market with the brushless and “pro” models is they need to convince people they are worthy. It’s a shame because their brushless snow blowers are actually really good. I’ve abused mine for three seasons now and love it Over the pain of a gas snow blower. They seem to treat the pressure washer market much differently...
How many blinker turn signals are for winners ?
Never clicked a video so fast!
Looking forward to the Karcher to see what sort of bad person I am :):):)
Waiting for karcher......
Well karcher makes cheap ones, and decent ones. Unfortunatly, he is planning on testing the entry level ones, which are not reliable from experience. IMO karcher is decent starting at K4 or K5 and above.
I have K7 and its flow 10l/min or 2.6gpm. I like it.
@@utzdeac 220v/240v does wonders for a pressure washer.
@@utzdeac older one or newer type? cause i don't like their new gun with a screen. My older k6 is a beast, but still some plastic parts that break ( case of mine which leads to leaks and buggy start/stop function..)
@@TerrificFlow k7 Compact. Not the digital ones. I upgrade it with swiveling sprayer, i modify the hose to put coupling. Now very nice
Isn't there a low and high setting on the SPX4000? The high setting allows you to get the 2030psi?
Yes, all test were done on high. 2030PSI is a joke. It's not touching that.
All those tools and still can't use the proper size wrench😂. But I understand..Sun Joe.
Channel Locks work just fine.
@@ObsessedGarage coudn't help myself, occupational hazard.
My 3001 doesn’t leak from the garden hose and I have the quick connects on it
Bull3t #SWAGGER I also have no leaks with stock connector and Matt’s quick disconnect on 3001.
It seems obvious to me that if someone wants a budget pressure washer, it's a far better option to get a Ryobi than these crappy SunJoe's
I thought the SunJoes may have had more output, but they don't. The Greenworks/Ryobi do the same thing without the need for funky fittings and can be sourced locally.
@@ObsessedGarage They seem to be far better made as well without all the leaking issues! SunJoe has proven to be junk, not that we didn't know that anyway 😄
What is the advantage to stainless steel connections if you said the brass work fine?
Stainless doesn't corrode like brass does.
Hello you can do the same test with kränzle ? Merci bonjour de France 🇫🇷
Il a dit qu'il testera son kranzle à la fin des tests pour pouvoir comparer avec les différentes gammes de produits entrée/milieu de gamme. Il lui reste karcher, blue AR et comete à essayer d'abord.
Ok merci pour l’info 💪👍🏻
When can we look forward to "PRO" Sun Joe products, specifically the SPX9004pro? Am looking to get something better than the SPX3000 I have now but not ready to step up to the Kranzle.
You obviously did not watch this video or the first one of the series where he explains what he will be testing. Pros are coming as are others.
The 9004 is not the one. Keep your 3001 until you are ready to get the real deal.
Thats why i got a ryobi 1600, tiny little thing but got it for 79$, can't beat it, ill be upgrading fitting, wand and hose and wall mount it, i just cant figure out why none of these companies can't come up with a electric pressure washer that flows atleast 2gpm at like 2200psi without the huge price tag i would buy it in a heartbeat.
because of the stupid 110v in the U.S, if the U.S used 220v that would be easy for companies to create.
Why can't Kia make 550 HP car for $15,000?
Swagura Mutsuki Right, not hard to wire 220v in a house, i have a 220v for my washer and dryer, im going to try and convert a 220v motor to run a 3,000psi pump, can't see myself spending upwards of 900$ for a krenz washer just a strong electric motor with a pump attached to it. ill link a vid to a guy who had the exactly the same idea.
@@michaelmartinez4515 it isn't hard your right, but a lot of monkey inspectors will or will not give u a violation on a 220/240v outlet if it isn't used for washer dryer or water heater in NY.
Obsessed Garage i know you love the kranzle, but almost 1k for a electric washer is really expensive, you could make a more powerful setup with a washer machine motor and cat pump for way less, thats all im saying.
I have the spx4000. I had to buy the standard m22-14mm and use my dremel to make that damn thing work for a quick connect. The gun sucks and the stock hose is way too short. I had to spend another $50 for the extra fittings and another extension hose. But it gets the job done for cleaning my wooden fence, driveway, and occasionally the truck. I do like using it early in the morning to wake up my asshole neighbor the day after he stays up late blasting his god awful music.
Same nike shoe you have on karcher test video, the metcon 2?
Yep
@@ObsessedGarage how about the blue Nike you we're wearing on the Ryobi pressure washer video
Not to add to your Sun Joe misery but What about the Sun Joe SPX9004-PRO’s? Kinda expensive for Sun Joe’s but 1300 psi 2.0 gpm, looks aimed at the lower psi higher flow car detailing market. Or the SPX9007 1800psi 1.6gpm? Be curious of the reality vs. the spec sheet. Anyway nice work!
The specs are likely going to be way off.
if a 600$ comet only puts out 1000 psi at 1.86 gpm, THERE. IS. NO.WAY the 9004 is touching even those numbers and I wish idiot stooges like DAN DAN would stop lying and say it puts out 2gpm at 1000psi on the trigger.
Swagura Mutsuki well sure the numbers are likely overinflated but with all these pressure washers being tested be nice to see the actual numbers. I doubt the SPX9004 matches the Kranzle but be nice to see the actual numbers. At least the 9004 looks like it has a decent motor on it if nothing else. If more people tested these machines the less they’d get away with putting all the numbers on the box with an * stating @100 psi etc. Be also nice to see the Kranzle tested with an external gauge like the others, I have a feeling they probably are more conservative like many German companies with their specs. Where was the comet tested btw?
In the end all these 120v electric units are kinda hobbled with only so much output you can do without tripping breakers. If you are doing a mounted solution a 230v unit makes more sense. Northstar has 230v units that put out 3000 psi and 2.5gpm.
In the end for car cleaning duty even the so-so units here are adequate to run foam cannons and clean your car. A good foam cannon like the MTM makes all the difference and you still need to agitate the soap with a wash mitt. Better gpm makes a bit better foam and makes it for a quicker rinse but it’s not like you actually can’t clean a car with a simple garden hose.
The biggest head scratcher is the brushless Sun Joe’s. Seems like a waste of more advanced, more expensive motors to just push a bit higher psi at the expense of gpm but the marketing guys probably wanted those psi numbers and don’t really care about actual users...
so.... i have to keep save money to buy a fricking Krenzel.
Hi, I have a quick question - I have a tap outside that's poorly fitted and I can't change that. It puts out 1.1GPM, is this usable in any way, even with a crap setup?
Probably not.
how much car wash soap are you using with the foam cannon ? I cannot seem to get thick foam using the same pressure washer, gun and foam cannon 1.1mm orifice you are using. Thanks.
150mL of soap
I bought the SPX4000 for $118 at Amazon and looking for a pressure washer hose as I don't want to buy the extension. Can you pls link me to the one you're using?

Matt, you were using the 3.0 nozzles on this spx setup right? im sorry if i didnt see or hear it but was there a difference from there nozzles to the mtm 3.0? thanks
The OE nozzles are like 1.5 sized or something really small. I found 3.0 to offer best combo of flow and pressure.
@@ObsessedGarage perfect thanks for the answer will be ordering soon.
Every sun joe pressure washer i see has a cancer/birth defect chemical warning that i dont see on other brands why is this i wont purchase sunjoe for this reason.
That's Prop65 for the great state of California. Pretty much every product on the planet needs that warning.
Hey Matt ... I'm guessing that the "heavy-duty" hose on the 4001 is a 1/4" ID ... sound correct? I have the "OG" spec 2 piece w/Mosmatic gun assembly. Do you think the flow (GPM) changes significantly if using a 1/4" ID flex hose as opposed to the 3/8" ID Kobrajet which you tested at close to 1.41GPM ... stock set-up was 1.22GPM. Wondering how much difference the hose itself makes between 1/4" ID and 3/8"ID with the OG spec gun assembly. Thoughts? Did the gun assembly or hose contribute the most with the change from stock.
No, it doesn't change at all.
Obsessed Garage just to clarify, something had to contribute to the increased flow ... if not the 3/8” ID Kobrajet hose, then it’s the 3.0 nozzle?
The nozzle. SunJoes have a tiny nozzle on it. Hose does nothing for flow or pressure.
Obsessed Garage Thank you Matt for taking time to answer so quickly. Much appreciated
@@ObsessedGarage I'm not sure if all the folks watching really understand how much effort you put into all of this. I checked the stock pressure (1425 psi) against the stock flow measured for the 4001(1.22 GPM) and it came out to around a 2.0 orifice. You're not kidding when you said small. With the 3.0 nozzle on your snub nose gun, you came in closer to 1000 psi and 1.41 GPM. And ... you checked the load (amperage) to make sure the unit wasn't straining. Amazing. Thanks!
Struggling with the so-what of this experiment a bit primarily because of the target audience for these sub-$300 pressure washers.(my dad also has one btw and a few others I know). My observation is that these folks use their pressure washers like a gym membership...not very often...and the do not see the value of investing in something they don't really care that much about. If the intent is to create an aftermarket like trend in cars, I really do not see why someone would spend twice or three times as much on hoses and wands to bolt onto a POS washer. Its' like throwing $10K on rims and suspension for Corolla, absolutely mental masturbation. I think your audience that are as obsessed about caring for a car will buy the Kranzle, those that cannot afford it will probably just stick with a cheapo washer or an even cheaper bucket. After all it's all about the sum of the parts just like a Porsche GT3, not just the engine or the suspension. Kind of entertaining to watch homemade experiments though.
I tended to agree, but the market for these and modifying them is rather larger. The advantage is that you use the parts on your next machine upgrade.
@@ObsessedGarage Yup figured you sized up the market and you will probably sell a ton! Just not sure that people realize they're getting sub-optimal improvements for their hard earned cash...happy holidays man, and looking forward to more E92 vids. BTW, what do you think about a manual V10 R8/gated shifter, you ever driven one? saw you quite liked the newer R8 .
I am using a ryobi, but am interested in a different orifice and all the quick disconnects
Just as someone who would love to invest in either the 1122 or 1322, but just can’t afford to shell out the cash (or maybe I’m just not willing to at this point in my life - who knows) these tests interest me greatly.
The real take away for me thus far has just been that the cheapest models of the greenworks and ryobi make the most sense, because stepping up through the lines just doesn’t seem to offer much more for the money.
As the series continues though, I do find myself wondering whether or not I should just hold off and get his complete 1122 package, or buy a cheap greenworks and invest in the stuff that can be swapped over to a kranzle when my cheap one dies.
I’d love to be ballin and drop crazy cash on all this, but as it is currently I’d settle for just ballin on a budget.

Wait a minute! You lump all the brushless units together, you can't do that. The 3500 is not 1.1 gmp like the cheaper model, it is 1.48, and is Sunjoes best model -without the roll up hose feature. You didn't even test it, and it's one of their best sellers now. That stinks man. Go fix this somehow. Thumbs down
Wrong...
