Do you guys have an experience with this pressure? Does it do the job? Reliable piece of equipment? Currently looking for a pressure washer (to wash personal cars) and lost of choice out there but this one seems to be priced well as well as lots of positive reviews. As always, thanks for the feedback

I have one and really like it. Swap out the cheap plastic fittings and you're good to go

Is the High Pressure Hose flexible or is it stiff like most of the standard hoses that come with most pressure washers?

Worthwhile to note if you wanna attach standard aftermarket guns and such, SunJoe fittings are a bit wonky so you'll possibly need an adapter like this:

It is absolutely enough for car washing. You'll not get crazy, thick, shaving cream foam like you can with a gas power washer, but I use Chemical Guys Honeydew and McKees Extreme foam, and get decent results, even with my 20.00 Amazon foam cannon

I've not used other electric power washers, but the hose is fairly flexible and coils up nicely for storage

Looks neat but i'd rather have a more water infused foam that only clings long enough to meet recommended dwell time of foam soap being used.

With SunJoe 3001, MTM PF22 cannon and Gyeon Foam at 1:10 dilution, that's my preferred combo.
