Is the Sun Joe SPX3000 Electric Pressure Washer worth it?
Yes — the best budget pressure washer.
It's light and easy to wheel round, and its 2,030 psi is plenty for cars, bikes, patio furniture, fences and a small patio. Five nozzles click on quickly and store on the body, and two detergent tanks let you switch soaps. It's mostly plastic, the 20 ft hose is short, it's loud, and it's slow on a big driveway.

How we reached this verdict
Bob Vila's hands-on test names it the best electric pressure washer for cars, praising the dual soap tanks, easy nozzles and value. Reviewed's testers found it quickly cleared mud and sand, but noted the hose connection leaked until reseated, it was loud and hose storage is poor.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
