    Re: SunJoe SPX3000 longer hose?

I'm thinking to return it to pick up a Sun Joe SPX3001 that comes a with hose reel.

    For those who have owned or experienced SPX3000 and SPX3001, is the extra cost worth it for the hose reel?

    My spyder 2030 is terrible for storage because its half the size of an average pressure washer. You need to take wand apart for storage and you can't store the hose without detaching it either. Also, Spyder 2030 is 2030 PSI at 1.4 GPM. Both Sun Joe are rated at 2030 PIS at 1.76 GPM, which I think supposedly produces thicker foams. And lastly, not the best improvement, the hose length for Sun Joe is 25 ft vs 15 ft on the Spyder.

    Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
    That's the main reason I chose the SPX3001. I didn't want to have a hose I needed to detach and hang somewhere. The problem I have though is the darn thing only has a 25ft hose with it. If I had a motorcycle etc, it would be fine. I need it to be longer so I don't have to move the pressure washer to reach both sides or a car or truck. I bought the extension cable SunJoe sells (I think it's 20ft), but the M22 connection coupler connecting the hoses together won't reel up on the hose reel very well at all. Also, it's even cheaper of a hose LOL (kinks easily). Everything else about the pressure washer I like. I going to buy a decent 1/4" 50ft hose and take it and the original hose with propriety connector to a shop and see if they and cut it and make a small enough connection to my new hose such that I can use the pressure washer hose reel.

    Re: SunJoe SPX3000 longer hose?

    it's not really a proprietary connector. It's just the European version which has a 1mm smaller bore but still M22 on the outside.

    Adaptors are not particularly difficult to source (MTMHydro, amazon, big auction site).

    The reel does work but as noted, it doesn't deal w/ the connectors well and it can get 'lumpy' and hit on the plastic cross piece (that holds
    the sprayheads). It's good enough for what it is.

    While the SunJoe Hose-to-gun connector is that 14mm vs 15mm European 'thing' the connector from the hose to machine on the 3001 is some whacked kinda thing that, as of yet, I'm not sure anyone has found an adapter to use w/ to attach aftermarket hose like FlexZilla directly to machine hose attachment point.

    I have the SunJoe extension host to get to 50ft and if you roll up carefully, rolling most of the hose on the left side of the reel, the connector between hoses will sneak by if initially placed on then empty right-side of reel when rolling. Not too much of a PIA but not overly convenient either.
