Which Electric Pressure Washer

[fightnews]

Karcher K5 Premium(updated K5.740)

AR Blue Clean AR390SS

Snow Joe Sun Jose SPX3001

I have the k5 regular with the hose reel. The thermoplastic hose kinda sucks and you can't buy a replacement because of the fittings they use. I just bought a flex hose for it. Im going to have to cut it in 2 spots and clamp it toghether and hope it doesn't leak

I purchased this one from Walmart, did great job on my driveway and the trim of my house. And of course using it to wash the car, still new at it and trying to determine if the cannon works better than the built in tank. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sun-Joe-S...07&athena=true

Mike--you might want to take a look at this thread ---- Got Rid of my Overpriced Karcher PW and bought a Cheap Ryobi & Upgraded it... way better setup!!

They have extension hoses in 6 meter and 10 meter about 20 and 33 foot. It's kärcher original rubber hose. You get the last end of the hose more flexible at least. I got the k7 premium plus flex pressure wash and the flex is a more flexible hose than useally. I'm looking for a swiwel which I have the most problem with. But find one to fit the hose and the original spray gun seems impossible. I think there is so you can fit a other hose that connects to the hose reel outlet and you can use a spray gun of choice. Don't know if you have the display in your spray gun as I have. I kind of like that you can adjust the pressure from the spray gun and the chemical dilution too.

200 for the AR390ss
300 for the premium K5
320 for the spx 3001
..can get spx3000 for 169 ..difference is no hose reel and 2 tanks vs 1 large one

All are 2000psi
Karcher and AR blue have 1.4 GPM
Snow Joe has 1.76 GPM

picked up a 3001 for 154.97 this week. everyday price.

Just a note - don't expect any of them to be a sustained PSI and gpm as stated. Those are peak numbers, measured PSI with the most narrow tip for one thing. Not sure about gpm but I'd be surprised if my 3001 puts out 1.5gpm at the highest. Just fyi.

I second a GreenWorks... mine's been kicking ass for the last 3 years.

The AR390SS has been running great for over a year now. I think it is a crapshoot though on how long any of these electric PWs last. If you look at the reviews of any PW model you will find users that had them stop working very quickly. Buy one on sale and get a warranty so you can send it back when, not if, it quits on you. Remember none come with a lifetime guarantee.

I’ve been real happy with my SunJoe SPX3500. It’s the new model. Excepts standard fittings. Where the old 3000 series did not. It’s quiet and smooth. I have a Honda Gas model for big jobs.

I actually pressure tested my SPX3000 (SPX3001 has same specs) the other day with an assortment of different orifice sized nozzles. Granted i upgraded to a full stainless MTM spray gun with lance and custom 50' 1/4' hose with reel. Below are the results.

Using the Sun Joe tips:
green (25 degree) = 1200psi
grey (40 degree) = 1200psi

All nozzles below were from either MTM Hydro and AllPressureWashers.com (Hydro Jet brand).

2.0 orifice... *will be using moving forward*
25 degree tip = 1300 psi
40 degree tip = 1400 psi

2.5 orifice:
25 degree = 1000 psi
40 degree = 1100 psi

3.0 orifice:
25 degree = 900 psi
40 degree = 850 psi

4.0 orifice:
40 degree = 600 psi

I hope this helps anyone on deciding on a PW and or if you already own a Sun Joe.
