I bought a 1650 psi gasoline model over 15 years ago. It was loud (of course), difficult to start, and complicated to deal with. The engine had to run constantly and was directly connected to the pump, so you couldn't stop running water through it for more than a moment. Why? There was a the risk of overheating the pump (the pump was water-cooled). Generally it was a pain in the butt.
I haven't needed a pressure washer in years, and my gasoline model won't start. I don't really know why, I'm not able to pull the starter very hard any more, and...well...I just don't want to deal with gas engines any more. Thankfully pressure washers have come a long way in the last decade!
Now I didn't know whether to believe the pressure rating on this machine. It's only electrically powered, after all, and my old gas model only made 1650 psi. I'm happy to say that the output of this model is at least equal to my old machine, and most likely significantly greater. I am able to blast dirt, mold, and lichen from further away than expected. In fact, I'm using the second-widest nozzle to clean the bizarre black stuff (that seems to grow all over FL) from my concrete driveway. I have no way of testing the output and no interest in finding out how many gallons per minute it's using. It is very powerful, and that's most consumers need to know. Just be sure to use the recommended size hose for the low pressure water supply (the one from the house faucet).
Some pressure washers are provided with an adjustable nozzle. This one provides several easily attachable, quick connect heads. I'm fine with that because they are safely stowed on board the unit in easily accessible and secure points, and changing nozzles takes just a few seconds. I don't know about the longevity of this strategy versus the adjustable type, but I expect they've been adequately tested. I haven't used cleaner yet, so I haven't used the nozzle designed for that. With this much power there's no reason to mix chemicals into the equation. Pure water and electrical power is about as environmentally-friendly as washing sidewalks can get.
I love the fact that I can start and stop as often as I need. That was a constant pain with my gas model. It does take a second or two for the unit to ramp up to full pressure each time you pull the trigger, and you should pause a second or two between releasing the trigger and pulling it again. I write that only as information for users, not as a critique. The machine works very well; the delays I mention are not noticeable in actual use.
The electric cord is heavy duty and rugged, and protected by its own GFCI (on the large plug) for safety. The high pressure hose is stiff and tough, which is exactly what you need and expect. The hose attachments are secure and I have no leaks. I've read several reviews that complain about leaks and suggest replacing the included parts for metal ones. I don't know if the units have been significantly upgraded since those buyers' units, but I suspect their problems were user error. It's 90% idiot-proof, but there are some high-quality idiots out there! Some people can manage problems with anything (see: all the warning labels on McD's coffee cups!).
Unpacking and assembling the unit was dead simple, quick, and easy. Good instructions are even included, which is a bit of a rarity these days.
As you can see from the pictures Snow Joe provides on the product page, the base has places to hang your cord, your high-pressure hose, and the wand. There is a large power switch on the front that almost seems superfluous. I guess it's a safety feature required for those special people I mentioned above. The wheels are useful when the unit is disconnected from power and water; when in use it's easier just to lift the whole setup and place it where needed. It's quite light weight and both the electrical cord and high-pressure hose are long enough to allow a lot of work to be done without much repositioning of the unit.
I am extremely pleased with this unit. It's relatively quiet, very easy to use, powerful, and convenient! I strongly recommend it!

Good for car washing
Sunjoe makes an okay pressure washer. It isn't great, but it isn't bad either. The unit was in multiple pieces when it arrived in the box, and it was very easy to put together. After testing for over 6-months I noticed certain repeat issues. The connections to the garden hose out the front of the machines likes to leak a lot. The high-pressure connection to the sprayer wand is very tight and sometimes gets stuck, and it requires a bit of force to tighten and loosen (and no, its not cross-threaded) that it hurts your hand because of the ridges that they put on the connector to assist with wet-hand grip. More than a few times I've had the skin come off my fingers and palm because of this issue. The tanks for the washing fluids don't get all the way down to the bottom with the cap-attached suction tubes. In the end, to save time and clean-up I found that I'd rather just use my nozzle-end attached foam cannon sprayer. I do love that they spent the extra money to go for a shiny metal finish and all-metal fittings. I really appreciate a quality-made accessory when the rest is all plastic.The pressure washer is good at putting out a high-pressure stream of water. But, if the caked on dead bugs and stuff has been there a while, no amount of spraying it with water from this unit will get it off. So be aware, it's for recently-added dirt and grime. I use mine to pressure wash my car. Pressure washing cars is safe up to 1900 psi.
