Ryobi RY803001 3000 PSI Honda Pressure Washer vs Sun Joe SPX3000 Electric Pressure Washer

Should have been double boxed. The clear tube that supplies the fluid to the water needs a small clamp as it already came dislodged once, spilling almost all the fluid out. Hose is very stiff but durable. Vast improvement over my last electric one

If your pressure washer completely stopped working, read this! I had bought this pressure washer just over 2 years ago for one job lasting about 4 hours total. At the time, I put the unit away and forgot about it for 2 years until I needed it this summer. When I took it out and fired it up, the pump ran for about 5 seconds then "died." I tried for days to get it to work with no luck

When starting for the day, let it run for several minutes before use. If you are planning to use it on relatively smooth surfaces (e.g., driveway, sidewalk, etc

After a few times I found the sweet spot and marked it with a permanent marker, but it should be more efficient. All in all a good bang for the buck.

I would NEVER buy a Ryobi gas pressure washer again. For $400 it is a complete piece of trash. AVOID THIS PRESSURE WASHER.

Be careful though on delicate surfaces. There are some nice features of the SPX3000 such as the hose, the gun and the clip on nozzle arrangement. One thing that bothers me is the light weight which is a plus for some but the weight does not bode well for size, construction and ruggedness of the pump and motor. A tradeoff of a good quality, durable, powerful motor and pump is weight so that's a concern

Let me say that I’ve been searching for a while for a pressure washer and when I saw a Honda engine at the pressure I wanted it was a no brainer. Easy to assemble. Easy to start. Cranked right away

New threads usually strip in the first few connections but should be less susceptible the more they are used and properly connected. The hose connections should thread together with little effort. The quick connect for the spray wand nozzle fittings is a true press-fit that requires the minimal effort to connect. Simply pull back on the outer ring, for disconnect
