Last Updated on January 16, 2016 By Chainsaw Journal

Sun Joe SPX3000 2030

The Sun Joe SPX3000 2030  is the perfect electric pressure washer for homeowners who like to keep their home and yard clean. As you know, dirt accumulates on everything as time goes by. Sometimes it’s easy to forget what things looked like when they were new. The only way maintain a clean outdoor environment is to use a pressure washer on a regular basis. The Sun Joe SPX3000 has proven to be an extremely efficient electric pressure washer with long history of satisfied customers.

Let’s start by watching a video of the Sun Joe SPX3000 in action.

This video was produced from the manufacturer, Sun Joe — more on them after the video.

Sun Joe is a company with an exceptional reputation for creating high-quality lawn and garden products for homeowners. This is how they describe their business on their website:

“…expansive line of outdoor power equipment, which includes manual, cordless, and electric tools such as lawn mowers, trimmers, tillers, and snow blowers, aims to simplify your yard routine to make it quick and easy to get your outdoor chores done. Our focus is on designing high-quality outdoor tools that are affordable, because we believe that high craftsmanship does not have to come with high prices.”

You should know that Sun Joe & Snow Joe are the same company. Snow Joe is the brand they use for their winter line of products, including snow blowers. Watch a video showing their full product line.

Comes with a wide variety of nozzles.

A wide assortment of unique nozzles for all of your cleaning projects.

The Sun Joe SPX3000 2030 pressure washer allows you to choose the pressure output of the spray to your cleaning needs as it comes with five Quick-Connect spray nozzles (0º, 15º, 25º, 40º and soap). Nozzles are easily interchangeable to quickly go from a high-pressure 0° pencil point jet to a low-pressure 40° fan spray. Or if you need to — spray detergent to the cleaning surface with the soap nozzle for extra cleaning power.

Sun Joe SPX3000 is Highly Versatile

The Sun Joe SPX3000 2030 electric pressure washer comes with a “Total Stop System” trigger that will automatically shut off the pump when the trigger is not engaged; allowing you to save energy and prolong pump life.  Sun Joe provides a full two-year warranty for peace of mind.

Designed to clean: Mildew, grease, oil, tar, mud, rust and more.

Perfect for cleaning the following: Fences, porches, patios, cars, siding, shutters, lawn equipment, RV’s, decks, wooden furniture, driveway, concrete, trucks, boats, etc..

Many customers recommend replacing the plastic garden hose adapter that comes with the Sun Joe SPX3000 because it has a tendency to leak and also, because it’s plastic is also likely to crack or break easily. For a few dollars you should go ahead buy this brass connector. It’s worth the price. unfortunately, Sun Joe doesn’t include this with the product. Either way, the part is: Sun Joe SPX-BSC

The Sun Joe SPX3000 pressure washer is driven by a powerful 1800-Watt, 14.5-amp motor. It generates up to 2030 PSI of water pressure and 1.76 GPM of water flow. It can easily remove tar and grease from concrete, heavy mildew stains, oil stains, rust from steel, caked mud on equipment, and other stubborn gunk and grime. For most homeowners this electric pressure washer is capable of handling all of your cleaning needs around the home.

It comes with all of these accessories and attachments:

Lots of attachments and accessories for you to configure as you need them.

Here’s another excellent video from Sun Joe that shows you all of the accessories and attachments. They also show you how to assemble the Sun Joe SPX3000.

One of the nice design touches with the Sun Joe SPX3000 electric pressure washer is that it’s equipped to carry two detergent tanks which allows you to easily (and quickly) switch between your detergents depending on your cleaning needs. All you do is turn the selection dial to choose the appropriate tank and voila, you’re ready to clean your grime.

You’ll have a long 34″ extension spray wand which will allow you to access all of your nooks and crannies where dirt builds up. It’s extremely portable and easy to maneuver around your home due to its large rear wheels.

Make Your Home Sparkle with the Sun Joe SPX3000

The Sun Joe SPX3000 2030 Electric Pressure Washer is designed for homeowners who have a need and desire to keep their outdoor environment clean from grime. I don’t know about you, but I hate dirty and decaying things. A pressure washer will not only keep the dirt from building up but it will also dramatically slow down the decay that grime tends to promote.

The Sun Joe SPX3000 is easily one of the best electric pressure washers that you can buy. Period! It’s fairly inexpensive considering what you get, and it’s proven to be highly reliable and effective at doing what it was designed to do — clean the grime from pretty much everything.

Having said all of that, I like to give my reader options, and if you’re in need of a quality pressure washer  but you’re on a budget then I also recommend the AR Blue Clean AR383 Electric Pressure Washer. It’s not as powerful but it’s comparable and has an excellent history for dependability and reliability.

A good alternative to the Sun Joe SPX3000 is the AR Blue Clean AR383 (see below).

AR Blue Clean AR383 1,900 PSI / 1.5 GPM / 14 Amp Electric Pressure Washer.

"Buy from Amazon" buttonI like the hose reel built into the pressure washer. It’s a practical feature that works well.


Pressure Washer Cleaning Detergents

You’ll probably want cleaning detergent if you want to get the maximum effectiveness from this, or any pressure washer. Here are 2 good products, both are made from Simple Green.

Since the Sun Joe SPX3000 is rated at 14.5 Amps you’ll need a 12 gauge extension cord. You probably want at least a 50-foot long cord, but if you need to clean far from your outlet then a 100-foot extension cord is available. You can learn all about buying the right extension cord for your electric power tools, but to make your life easier I recommend the following extension cords for Sun Joe SPX3000:

  • 50-feet long: US Wire 74050
  • 100-feet long : US Wire 74100

Sun Joe SPX3000 Includes: 34″ extension wand, 20-foot high pressure hose, 35-foot power cord with GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) protection, garden hose adapter, needle clean-out tool.

Features (Sun Joe SPX3000):

  • 5 Quick-Connect spray tips (0º, 15º, 25º, 40º and soap.
  • Accessories for: light, medium and heavy duty cleaning jobs.
  • Efficient 14.5-amp/1800-Watt engine. generates up to 2030 PSI/1.76 GPM(water flow).

  • Dual detergent tanks – two .9-Liter on-board removable tanks allow you to carry 2 types of detergent at the same time.
  • CSA approved; Full 2-year warranty.

The Ultimate Home Pressure Washer

If you need more power then you’ll have to upgrade to a gas pressure washer. The Simpson MSH3125-S MegaShot 3100 is an excellent option, with plenty of power from its Honda GCV190 gas engine.Yes, it’s more expensive than the The Sun Joe SPX3000 at twice the price but you’re also getting a professional grade pressure washer.

It truly depends on what your needs are. The average homeowner won’t need the Simpson MSH3125-S MegaShot 3100 but if you own a farm or a business then this would be a better option for you as it has much more power, far more durable and runs on gas so you’re not constrained by an extension cord.
