Why it scored a 80

At $169.00 you get a 2500 max PSI headline, 2030 PSI working pressure at 1.2 GPM, two 0.9-liter detergent tanks and five tips including a 40-degree fan, which puts features at 78.

Should you buy the Sun Joe SPX3000?
The Sun Joe SPX3000 fits the buyer who wants the most proven budget electric and switches between car soap and deck cleaner. At $169.00 it ranks #6 of 10 in our Pressure Washers category. The Westinghouse ePX3100 is $30 cheaper, lighter and carries a longer warranty. If you want a 25-foot hose and a 35-foot cord, the Greenworks GPW2003 costs $25.99 more.
Where it earns its score
- Huge review base. 64,660 ratings at 4.4 stars is the deepest owner record in the category.
- Two detergent tanks. Twin 0.9-liter tanks let you keep car soap and a deck cleaner loaded at the same time.
- Full tip set. Five tips, including 0 and 40 degree, cover everything from stuck-on grime to a gentle rinse.
- Long lance. The 34-inch stainless steel lance with brass fittings keeps you farther from the spray.
What to know first
- Warranty is the lowest factor at 66. Two years is shorter than the 3-year terms on the Westinghouse ePX3100 and Greenworks GPW2003.
- Headline versus working pressure. The title says 2500 max PSI, but Sun Joe lists 2030 PSI working pressure at 1.2 GPM.
- Spray safety. Never point the spray at people or pets, and keep the 0-degree tip off wood, siding and car paint.
Our verdict
The Sun Joe SPX3000 scores 80, a Good Buy, on Satisfaction (88), Value (86) and Reliability (84), backed by 64,660 ratings. Buy it for car washing and patio work where two detergent tanks save time. If you want the same jobs done for less money and with a longer warranty, the Westinghouse ePX3100 (83) is $139.00.
