3000 PSI Max 1.3 GPM 14.5 Amp High Performance Brushless Induction Motor Electric Pressure Washer

The engine works but won’t build up pressure. It’s useless now.

Use it a few times. Every time when the machine is turn on, the motor starts then stops in a couple minutes. If I trigger the wand, it squirts out a shot. That's all. Motor starts again, and run for a couple minutes, then stops. I trigger the wand, it squirts out another shot, lasting slightly longer, such as half second. ..... you need to repeat this process for a good 10 to 20 minutes until the motor can maintain the pressure for about 2-5 minute. That was when the machine is brand new and supposed to be working; and the pressure was not much higher that my older small $70 Ryobi's. Then, after a winter storage, the first time used it to wash a car, the joint at trigger handle and the extension wand leaked terribly. The second time I use it gain (6th time in the pressure washer's life), the pressure hose burst at the end where it connects to the machine. Contacted the company via email. The first reply was that they were shutting down my claim ticket. I have to register the product in order to reopen the ticket. This is the first time in my life that I had to register in order to obtain a warranty service. I think this is illegal! In the process of registering the product, I also had to register an account with the company. And, before I even finished the registration process, junk mail had already arrived in my mail box. I would never ever buy anything from this company, and its sister companies.

Bought this to replace an aging (25+ yr old) gas pressure washer. Not sure if it is actually getting 3000 PSI but I feel all of 2500 PSI. Had a much smaller 1800 PSI gas that I bought to try out, and was nice but needed more power for some of the tasks that we have around the yard. This one fills that space very well. Easy to pack up and store. Easy to set up, especially after adding quick connects to pressure hose and garden hose. Added an soap cannon to it and works great for car, truck and camper! Also the turbo nozzle was a nice additional to it, as it was not an included feature.

Owned the pressure washer for a couple months now. Easy to set up and zero maintenance are key reasons I bought it. Worked great on my driveway, fence and getting the grime off of the house.

Hose blew off the fitting on the first time use, very low quality and doesn't feel like 3000psi maybe half that.

Lovin the Sun Joe SPX4600 Pressure Washer from Home Depot! We bought the Sun Joe 3000 PSI 5 LPM High Performance Electric Pressure Washer, Model # SPX4600 and we’re very happy with it. It had a couple of issues but they were minor. Here’s what we like: Our yard gets tons of thick algae on everything. This machine is powerful enough to get it off (using the #15 nozzle tip) from not only the house siding, but also off the cement brick patio and retaining wall. It does the asphalt driveway with ease too. I’m impressed because that stuff is hard to get off, even with a gas powered washer. This machine is light enough for me to pull around and doesn’t tip over. All the “cords” take getting used to, but really, when you’re used to borrowing and using other people’s gas washers, this one only has one more (electric) so it’s no big deal. We added the Sun Joe 25 ft. Heavy-Duty Pressure Washer Extension Hose, Model # SPX-25HD: and I’m glad I made that extra investment because having that extra length makes all the difference in the world! The Detergent Tank and Washer Nozzle is awesome. Just turn the dial on the machine to low, put the black soap nozzle on the wand, fill the soap dispenser with the correct blend of pressure washer soap & water and you’re good to go. So easy! For the really tough stuff, I manually apply a mixture of bleach/dish soap/water to the area and pressure wash it off. Either method works great. Here’s the two things I didn’t like: 1. The garden hose adapter/connection leaked like crazy so hubby used pliers to tighten it till it didn’t leak. Unfortunately, that’s not a sustainable way to use it, so, I bought Sun Joe’s Universal Brass/Aluminum Pressure Washer Garden Hose Quick-Connect Kit, Model # SPX-UQC. (black end goes on the machine, green end goes on the hose) AND a 3/4 inch MHT X 3/4 inch MIP Brass, Male/Male Adapter, Model # 937-6730101: I threaded them on using Teflon tape and WOOHOO! No more leaking AND it’s now a quick connect. So happy with this great hack! 2. The connection between the Trigger Gun and the Spray Wand leaked. Hubby tightened it so it’s hard to change out other accessories, so I may get some sort of a quick connect thing for it, too. In the meantime, it’s not a big deal. I love this Pressure Washer. It’s not as powerful as the big gas power washers I’ve used, but it’s a lot stronger than I was hoping for and can clean anything I’ve thrown at it so far. AND, because it has a water-strength dial, you can turn it down, put on the #40 nozzle tip and wash your car without ruining the paint. All in all, it’s a perfect home-use Pressure Washer. (ps) be sure to register the machine and pressure hose extension at the snowjoe.com website to activate the extended warranty for free. ENJOY!

I bought this product to use as a mobile auto detailer. It was only $125 when I purchased it. Pro's: Super simple to set up. It stores conveniently and it is compact. It is light weight and easy to put into a hatchback. Auto on/off pump is nice as well. The soap dispenser can be set up with a product like ONR no rinse for a spot free finish on your car without wiping. The motor, even when whining, is not super loud or annoying. Con's: Super cheaply built, the plastic connector to the hose inlet is soft plastic and will strip if you try to torque it. The GPM and PSI ratings are way off! I get 1.2 GPM and about 1400 PSI off the stock set up, which means it will take more time to rinse the soap off a car and be nearly useless against stuck grime. Pump can whine and cry from time if used for more than a few minutes consistently. Switching to aftermarket parts can cause the pump not to draw enough water if not set up perfectly right. Value: I found it on sale for $125. At that price I would buy one. If I am paying $200 like I see them nowadays, Id go for a Karcher. At $125 it was an easy choice and easy buy. I did have to replace the orfice nozzle in my foam cannon (1.1 ML) and use an aftermarket gun/wand/hose set up with either 2.5 or 3.0 nozzles. Using this set up reduces the pressure (around 1100- 1200 PSI) but increases the water flow (around 1.6 GPM) which is a better set up for washing cars. Also - a 50 Ft hose is a must!

My first impression of this pressure washer was great! There was absolutely no leaking or pulsating like some other reviews mentioned. So far it’s only been used a few times on brick and siding. I cleaned three fairly large retaining walls that were caked in moss. It came off very easily, using the setting suggested in the manual. See picture below. Time will tell how this machine holds up, but so far it has gotten my toughest job done no problem!

I've had the pressure washer for a few weeks now and used it for several washes on both my motorcycle and car. So far so good, my only complaint as well as many others would be that the hose it not very long. The reel is also flemsy but not a deal breaker, works just fine but could be a bit more sturdy on future models. I'd recommend it to others if you're looking for something basic and simple, easy to use and not super noisy. I use a foam cannon with it and does really well for an electric pressure washer, just be sure to use a high quality soap (Adams, CG etc) if using for automotive.

Great product for residential use - works well, very well designed.
