I received mine last week and used it for about 4 solid hours at my girlfriends house last weekend. I had been borrowing my business partners 3,000 psi gas pressure washer for the past 10 years and finally decided to give this electric one a shot despite my business partner telling me I was wasting my money
getting an electric unit, but I am very happy so far.
BUY NOWI started out washing her 20' X 15' concrete patio that was solid black because it hadn't been pressure washed in over 20 years. I was pleasantly shocked after the first few passes and seeing bright white concrete show up with each pass of the wand. It was so powerful that I really didn't notice any difference between this and my business partners gas unit. This thing has some serious muscle! It was very easy to put together and there were no leaks at either end. The fact that it is probably 75% quiter than a gas unit makes it much less fatiguing and of course there are no exhaust fumes to breath either. I was very surprised at the heft and build quality and didn't have any problems throughout the afternoon.
The only downside is of course having to drag around the power cord in addition to the hose because they inevitably get tangled up and that cost me some extra time.
I had a blast, no pun intended, cleaning her patio furniture, planters, A/C unit (it looks brand new and is over 20 years old), siding and windows.
If it holds up for a few years with no problems I will consider it one of my top buys in several years and buying it during Amazon's One Day Sale saved a sizeable chunk of money.
I can't speak to its longterm durability, but turned up on its most powerful setting I am happier using it than my business partners Honda gas unit.
Update: 6.18.18 I had to purchase a 25 foot extension hose because the out of the box setup wouldn't reach the last third of her driveway. I bought the nicest one Sun Joe makes and the quality is excellent, but I decided to do the sidewalk too and the combined 50 feet was about 20 feet short of allowing me to finish the job. I need to contact Sun Joe and make sure this unit has enough power to push through 75 feet of hose before I buy another one.
After a solid 9 hours of use I am extremely happy with this pressure washer and would definitely recommend it to anyone even at the full list price.
