Sun Joe SPX1000 11.5-Amp Electric Pressure Washer, Green

I purchased this to wash emulsions out of my screens. I just spent my early afternoon cleaning out 7 screens, and am incredibly satisfied with this power washer.Loved-easy to assemble and operate-quiet, the motor turns off when you stop spraying and turns back on when you continue to spray-adjustable nozzle is easy to turn while spraying, and is incredibly useful for cleaning screens-compact, packs up small, and is not heavy-the connector for the water hose does not leakPrior to today, I had been taking my screens to a car wash, and cleaning them with the power washers there. While this works, it gets pricey pretty quickly, even at a cheap wash. I would easily spend $5 washing out 2 screens. I also didn't have the option to adjust the spray, and was losing money as I let my cleaner sit after applying it. This will obviously effect my water bill, but it should shake out to way less (all of my inks/emulsion are water based, so disposal is not a concern).The adjustable nozzle is amazing. Whenever I had a stubborn dot of emulsion, I could simply twist the spray nozzle down to the size of a pencil(while still spraying) and blast those tiny bits out. I cleaned multiple 160 mesh, and a couple 230 mesh screens without any problems. In fact, one of my 230s (25x36) has had packing tape residue on it for over a year that I haven't been able to get off. I had forgotten to remove it when cleaning up a screen in 2014, and when I realized weeks later a thick layer of the adhesive had set in. I couldn't get it off for the life of me. Luckily, that was closer to 2 sides, and I had a lot of room to work with for other projects. As I was cleaning this particular screen out, I twisted the spray down to the smallest stream and was able to get that reside out...I can now use the entire screen again for the first time in over a year.I'm stoked about this purchase for all of the reasons above, and recommend it for other DIY screen printers. Just remember to wear ear plugs or some other kind of ear protection, because the washer on your screen is deafening. And eye protection as wellHappy printing!

I'm a short woman and this is the best one I've ever used. Other ones are sized up for larger bodies. The wand, the weight, the size of this one is perfect for my 5 ft frame.I used this to clean my siding, my porch, and my sidewalk. It is so powerful that it removed some of the paint from my porch. I plan to repaint anyway so that was just saving me some work.My sidewalk leans back at an angle so it collects slime like crazy. The water pools at my steps and turns black and slimy. It's a falling hazard that I simply can't step over with my short legs. Removing it with a scrub brush and the water hose can be done but why do it the hard way? Break out this baby and it's done!!!I've included two pix. The first one shows the dark and light section of my sidewalk. The dark is dirty and the light is clean. You can also see a clean arc to show the finest point of the nozzle. The largest spray is more than enough to wash a car.The second pic shows the paint removed from my steps. I am letting it dry thoroughly before painting because this really puts out the water.I was able to put this together very quickly and hooking it up to use it is just as simple. I only wish I had bought this years ago. It certainly would have saved me hours of scrubbing with a brush to avoid breaking out the huge machine. And to be honest, this one does a better job anyway.

I have only used this a couple of times so far and it seems quite good. I have purchased other Sun Joe products which I have been very pleased with so I expect this to also work well.Addendum: I have used this little washer on my house and on my garage. It is slow but did the job. It hadn't been used for a while because we had a lot of rain but I needed to clean the floor in my garage work room and figured this would do a good job. Plugged it in and . . . nothing. It had been too long for warranty protection so I figured it must be a loose wire because all else looked good. I opened the electronic plug and water came pouring out of it. This should have been a sealed plug but apparently it wasn't. The inside was rusty and a capacitor had broken off. I emailed the company to see if I could buy a replacement plug. It took a couple of tries before I got a response but they said I couldn't buy a plug. Instead they asked me to fill out the registration for the warranty (I had not registered it when I bought it) and they would send me and entire replacement unit! I received the new unit in a few days and will now box the old one and send it back to them. This was far beyond the customer service I had anticipated and restored my faith in this company. I have a few other Sun Joe products and for light weight small jobs they work surprisingly well. The chipper/shredder has been a great little work horse for small branches and cuttings. I even bought two thinking it was so inexpensive it wouldn't last and even after a few years the 2nd unit remains in the sealed box. I should say these tools are NOT meant for heavy duty work but if you need it for casual and occasional cleaning it will do the job.
