   Very impressed with this Sun Joe electric pressure washer. I have owned/operated both gas and electric pressure washers, but this is the first electric pressure washer I have used to compares to the cleaning power of gas versions. Beside the benefit of the Sun Joe being electric, it has great engineering in the design such as: – easy to access water supply connection – wand storage – organized pressure tip storage – one hand pressure tip change – power cord storage – high pressure hose storage reel – easy to access detergent bottle Out of the box, the Sun Joe is a heavy unit at just under 50 pounds, but still much lighter than a comparable gas unit. There is some assembly required; the top to the base, tip storage, wand storage and connecting the hose reel. The instructions are clear, however, the illustration are a little hard to follow as to what size fastening screws go where. It takes less than a few minutes to assemble – only needing a phillips screwdriver. I used the Sun Joe to clean painted Hardie plank siding and house brick. I started with the 40 degree tips but switched to the 15 degree. I had to make more passes due to the narrower spray pattern but the cleaning power was better, especially on the brick. Cleaning power – as stated in my opening sentence – IMPRESSIVE! Operation, amazingly easy and comfortable. The wand is comfortable in hand, light-weight but not cheapen construction. Very easy trigger operation. Pressure tip changes are a breeze thanks to the “loaded” quick connect coupler. Just insert the tip into the quick connect and it locks in. My gas pressure washer requires two hands; one to hold back the quick connect coupler release barrel and the other hand to insert the tip. The motor is much smoother and quieter than comparable electric pressure units I’ve used. The automatic on/off of the pump is very responsive. The only “cons” for this unit is you can pull the pressure hose to un-spool from the reel, the unit will tip over. I found it’s not a big deal and just un-spool the hose by hand before getting started. The other con is no regulating the output pressure. Technically you can do this by changing tips with the pencil tip being highest tip pressure and soap tip being the lowest. Also, you can adjust cleaning power by distance of the tip to the area being washed. If too much pressure, just back away some. Pros: – corded rubber pressure hose – not braided vinyl that kinks easily – very comfortable pressure wand and easy trigger operation – pre-loaded quick connect coupler for one handed tip changes – great assortment of tips and the easy access tip storage – generous 35 foot power cord with included GFI – robust cart wheels to really aide moving the cart over grass
