I just bought this today in homedepot, i used it on my deck, to prep for staining. Deck is a year old, never been stained. Dirt is average. The sunjoe unit worked well to remove the moulds but it took me an hour and half due to its psi power. It works but expect to take some time to do the job.
If you had a whiteboard with a grid or an easel with white paper you could write all those numbers down and develop a numerical grid or table conclusion. If you used paper and kept the same format, you could tape the posters up on the wall and be able to compare all the pressure washers you have reviewed. I applaud your consistent measuring of PSI and GPM with various nozzles. Thanks much.
@@imjoshv UUB made a great suggestion for comparing models. To simplify testing, do the calculations for each tick mark on the bucket and write the numbers on the bucket. Save some brain cells.
Just a warning on Sunjoe pressure washers and possibly other products in case no one else has mentioned it. A month after the warranty ran out on my SPX3000 the unloader/pressure valve failed causing surging. Sunjoe does not make or sell ANY repair parts. They only sell replacement hoses, nozzles and accessories. ALSO : Their hose seals and fittings are proprietary and standard hoses and seals for them will not seal and they will leak and cause pressure surges. Great while they last, but if it has a problem you are going to have to buy another one. At least you can keep your old SPX3000 to use for spare parts. ( Parts warehouses online and repair places won't touch them either)
Have had my sunjoe spx 3000 with the double containers since 2019. I wash religiously my vehicle at least once to twice a week. I even wash in the winter about 1/2 as much. It is still going strong, I always purge before turning on and never had a hiccup. A couple years ago I bought the CG new pressure washer thinking it was an upgrade.... Took that bi*ch right back to the store! Sunjoe foams amazing I have 0 upgrades and use a 15$ Amazon cannon also never replaced! And it's 2024 now
Just wanted to say that your reviews are fantastic. I wonder how many more views you could get if your reviews added noncar cleaning capabilities such as driveways, decks, and fences or at least a simulated version with a piece of deck or fence.
Hi IMJOSHV, First I want to say thank you for making all these awesome videos! So I watched your Ryobi 1600 vs 1900 video and when you compared the 15 Degree Nozzle with the 40 Degree Nozzle for the Ryobi 1600, you received a PSI of 1900 with 15 Degree Nozzle, and a PSI of 800 for the 40 Degree Nozzle. Yet in this video of the Sunjoe SPX 3000 when you use a 40 Degree Nozzle the PSI you got was 1100, so doesn't that mean the Sunjoe SPX 3000 is more superior than the Ryobi 1600/1900???
This is helpful stuff. I picked up my SPX at a pawn shop a few years ago for $40 I think. It was missing the wand and hose if I remember correctly but I still thought it was a good deal. I have used it with no issues. I just foam washed my cars for the first time last week using an aftermarket shorter gun. I also bought the 1.1mm orifice so I’m interested in seeing the difference. Last upgrade will be a new hose. The ones they come with are pretty crappy. The unit does a decent job cleaning the sidewalk.
Nice Vid! I think the older model spx3000 has two different soap dispensers - isn't this a key feature that this XT version doesn't have? Use case - leave a car wash solution in one and a home/deck solution in the other
I like my cheap little sunjoe pressure washer, too. I wish they would come out with a lower pressure model with a higher gpm, closer to the holy grail of automotive washing, 1000 psi at 2 gpm.
He did correct himself in his video, his 1.7gpm number was corrected in video. GPM can also be affected by the water flow coming out of your faucet can it not?
Josh, love your content and your channel. I just recently purchased the spx3000-xt. I also purchased a Yamatic super flex 50 ft hose and a stubby gun. What EXACTLY do i need to buy to make this washer compatible with that hose and gun with quick connects on the garden hose, as well as on the pressure hose and stubby gun? Thank you so much!!
So the Active gives you 1100 PSI @ 2.0 GPM which is 2200 Cleaning Units. and the Sun Joe Xtreme is 800 PSI @ 1.5 GPM, which is 1200 Cleaning Units? Almost 80% more performance? The Active is a beast!!! You should test this with the Active 3.7 size nozzle
Enjoyed watching your video on the SP3000XT. Do the M22-14 M22-15 adapter have to be installed into the pressure washer and the one that came with it taken off?
So if you were to chose between this SunJoe and the Ryobi 2000 psi pressure washer, which one would you choose? I need a unit to do wash my car and some household cleaning.
Currently the pressure washer I’m using. Well the older model, had for about 5 years now. Definitely going to check out the active pressure washer after 👍🏼
I'm on my 3rd year of my sunjoe. unless they come out with a higher flow model, im going to that Active model as well, if not a more commercial grade type.
Question for you, Josh. I have the older model spx3000. I recently upgraded to the 30' uber flex hose, adams foam cannon, and put the 1.1mm orifice in the cannon. I was super excited to test all this out and see my foam production. Sadly, I had horrible results. before even putting the foam cannon attachment on and just using the standard snub nose handle, I noticed an immediate loss of pressure and power from when I had everything factory. Upon attaching the foam cannon, same thing. Horrible pressure and the worst foam production ive ever gotten. Any ideas what could be causing these issues? The hose and the 1.1mm orifice would be the only major changes I made. Please help with any input you have! Love our channel!
Hey josh, loving all the videos & info you're putting out for us! But i got a question for you. Already have the older model sunjoe that cost $160. Could i buy & use all the aftermarket stuff you have here for the one i have?? I want to upgrade it 😁👍
I’ve been watching a lot of your review looking into getting a new unit. What would you recommend for a good price/performance out of all the ones you tested.
The 1600psi ryobi is the cheapest and got the same results as some of the bigger units. It’s just a no bells and whistle option but it’s a great machine
@@imjoshv I really appreciate the answer I was just really curious to see how it works just because I've seen it on sale at Walmart but thank you for answering
I have this pressure washer and the sunjoe foam cannon. I got the 1.1mm orifice in it and I use the CG Maxi suds II and I don't get much foam out. Any help?
First off, been watching your reviews of all the various pressure washers and wanted to say thanks for investing the time, they are very informative and well done. Quick question on the adapter for this unit, you mention it is needed in order to attach the Uberflex hose but what if I also wanted to connect my regular garden hose to the unit via quick connect? Would I need a second additional adapter for the front side of the unit as well??
I don't want to spend money online on parts that might not work, hence the question: If I'm eventually going to do a quick connect fitting, can't I just go M22 15mm to 14mm quick connect, instead of going M22 15mm to 14mm reducer, then add quick connect fitting? Less parts, less chance of leaks I'm thinking. Or there is no such product as a reducer/quick connect in 1 fitting?
Yea you can get a 3/8 quick connect that fits on to a m22 x 15! amzn.to/3lUSqHi But you would still need to have the other quick connect with an m22x14 for the hose side
Thanks for all the videos. I run a lawn care business and need to purchase a electric power washer for the shop to clean the outside of the tanks and trucks. Which one would you recommend I purchase- the Husqvarna (costco), Ryobi (home depot) or the sunJo (amazon)? Thanks again for your help! :)
Hey Josh hope you're well. I'm enjoying the more frequent videos! It's also showing in your subscribers, I believe the number has nearly doubled since I subscribed. Congrats!!
I just started watching your reviews and I haven’t stopped since. What would you recommend as an all around pressure washer? For detailing and around the house. Around 300-400
How many M22x15 to M22x14 ADAPTER fittings are needed to use the Uberflex 50 ft hose, 1 or 2? Or is a different adapter needed to connect the aftermarket hose to the Sun Joe wand?
@@IViftyhands No but I’m just using the stock Sun Joe hose and wand. It works well enough for now. However, I think the 50 ft hose might be too much for this washer to generate thick foam. Thanks for responding.
@@skyhawks4ever ah ok I have a 50 ft hose coming in today , will get back to you on how it performs. I’m gonna head out to some shops and see if I can figure what quick connects I need too lol
@@IViftyhands I should have been more clear I meant a 50 foot garden hose used to attach the sun Joe not the wand hose. I used a 50 foot garden hose because of where my faucet is located and I feel like this might be too long.
hi! i have stumbled on this video while researching the pressure washers. your setup is quite interesting, is there any benefit of using short washer gun?
@@imjoshv fair enough. i'm still at the fence with getting either the 3000 or 3000 xt. they basically have just slight higher psi with accessories that i will not even use. if i follow your direction, half of the tools are obsolete. what are your thoughts?
They are all very very similar when looking at that psi range of an electric pressure washer. I’m going to start doing some dba tests on reviews going forward
how do you afford all this stuff or do they just send it to you for free? I'm not sure why I enjoy your reviews when I'm not in the market for one. HOwever, I enjoy them...great job.
Great videos! Do you happen to know if the standars spx3000 and the Extreme version are putting out the same gpm at 1000psi? Dont they run the same pump? I like the numbers of the Active but I also want suction chemical tanks and like that the spx3000 has two of them. Decisions decisions
Hi Stephen, honestly im not sure if they use the same pump or not... I havent played with the standard spx3000 that much... But for me, the chemical tanks arent of great use cause it causes whatever is in the tank to go through the hose... Which can take time to get back out. I much prefer using a foam cannon at the end of the wand! Foam Cannon: amzn.to/3skv0fZ (make sure to also order the 1.1mm orifice) amzn.to/39K7nDT
@@imjoshv I use a foam cannon but with I'd have got that one with the gun you linked too since now I'm buying a gun seperate hahaha. I was thinking of suction tanks to use something like Super Clean in a tank for a prewash for fender wells and along the bottom and maybe in the other tank a cheap spray wax for drying aid (things I'm currently doing with spray bottles). But you may be right that it takes too long to get through the hose. I hadn't thought that, thank you for mentioning that. I also wanted tanks for chemicals to use around the house like to pressure wash off the deck, mildew on siding, etc....really though I suppose I could use my foam cannon for the house stuff too. Certainly being stuck on dispensers has kept my pw options limited....I may just skip that like your suggesting, then I could really just use the HF pw you reviewed and have the extra power!....extra power is always good. Lol
I'm a new homeowner so started researching pressure washers...who know there is so much out there. Lol Seems like most reviews I'm seeing are focused on car detailing so I'm not sure what to get for homeowner use with the cheery on top of washimg the car every once in a while. Is there a good middle of the road electric washer that can do both?
So far i would say the ryobi 2000psi. It has a good design and you get a higher psi for cleaning around the house... And you can decrease psi and increase gpm bu adjusting to a 2.5 or 3.0 orifice nozzle! amzn.to/3tYjibs Heres the link to that video: ua-cam.com/video/gwFf1DpM0SI/v-deo.html
They can't post the wrong psi, if they post it as 2200 psi then it has to be that at some point during the time you're using the machine, otherwise it's false advertising.
Its the highest point of pressure. For some reason when you have the gauge hooked up, and pulling the trigger it reads the actual usable psi and when you let go of the trigger the needle bounces to a higehr point. Its a certain rating system they all use but the actual usable psi is different and thats what i try to show.
@@imjoshv 🤣🤣yes all good, having lots of stuff at the office with replacement of network devices besides having deliverables to the auditors but always here to support you and learn of new stuff you've having.👌
So I enjoy your channel but all of these pressure measurements and water volume measurements are not fair or accurate because you are not using the original equipment that is sold with the machine. Whether or not your equipment would be more favorable or less favorable is irrelevant because what it says on the box is what needs to be used to measure those. I know in your most recent video, you seemed to be sensitive to that but it is very important if we are trying to make our own independent judgment. Otherwise, just tell us exactly what to buy in different price ranges and what attachments to add that you feel are perfect and we can also go from there. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback. I’ve done extensive tests to make sure that the aftermarket hose and wand don’t affect the numbers… I’ve tested with original equipment and the aftermarket stuff and it gets the same psi and gpm until you start changing the tips orifice size.
@@imjoshv sounds good. Just ordered the Costco Greenworks 2000. I’ll start there and than order your gun a bottle once I see the fittings. The hose sealed the deal for me.
@@imjoshv how can a 50 or 100 foot hose produce the same output as the stock 20 foot or 25 foot hose. not intuitive that these small pumps could maintain same pressure over 2-4x the stock distances??
I just bought this today in homedepot, i used it on my deck, to prep for staining. Deck is a year old, never been stained. Dirt is average. The sunjoe unit worked well to remove the moulds but it took me an hour and half due to its psi power. It works but expect to take some time to do the job.
were you able to pop on a different nozzle to get more psi?

the hose and wands are sturdy but kink which causes them to have weak points . You want your hose to be able to flex so it doesnt fail

For some reason when you have the gauge hooked up, and pulling the trigger it reads the actual usable psi and when you let go of the trigger the needle bounces to a higehr point. Its a certain rating system they all use but the actual usable psi is different and thats what i try to show.
👍👌3rd thanks for your review videos
3rd??? Youre getting slow on me haha hope you’re well!
@@imjoshv 🤣🤣yes all good, having lots of stuff at the office with replacement of network devices besides having deliverables to the auditors but always here to support you and learn of new stuff you've having.👌
Charro!
@@Zion_Haze 😄😄rayos, un nuevo llorón 😄😄
That's just absolutely terrible to make the garden hose connector out of plastic
i agree
Why does my water hose not fit on it
So I enjoy your channel but all of these pressure measurements and water volume measurements are not fair or accurate because you are not using the original equipment that is sold with the machine. Whether or not your equipment would be more favorable or less favorable is irrelevant because what it says on the box is what needs to be used to measure those. I know in your most recent video, you seemed to be sensitive to that but it is very important if we are trying to make our own independent judgment. Otherwise, just tell us exactly what to buy in different price ranges and what attachments to add that you feel are perfect and we can also go from there. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback. I’ve done extensive tests to make sure that the aftermarket hose and wand don’t affect the numbers… I’ve tested with original equipment and the aftermarket stuff and it gets the same psi and gpm until you start changing the tips orifice size.
@@imjoshv sounds good. Just ordered the Costco Greenworks 2000. I’ll start there and than order your gun a bottle once I see the fittings. The hose sealed the deal for me.
@@imjoshv how can a 50 or 100 foot hose produce the same output as the stock 20 foot or 25 foot hose. not intuitive that these small pumps could maintain same pressure over 2-4x the stock distances??
sun joe 3000. is leaking
Is this a review or a comparison to another UA-cam results. Jeez.
Yep we are comparing all of them in depth and then you can compare the numbers
Why do you CONSTANTLY refer to obsessed garage ??? It is annoying.
what type of extension cord would I need to use on a machine like this? Anything specific?
12ga is great for almost everything. Don’t even mess with smaller cords except for Christmas lights
