If you’ve never owned an electric pressure washer, it may be a lot more useful than you imagine. I used to think a pressure washer was good for washing the deck, and that’s it. Boy, was I wrong. Now that we have the Sun Joe Electric Pressure Washer, we have been washing everything. By “we”, I mean Mike. 😉 Product was sent for review purposes, but all thoughts and opinions are our own.
Our new Sun Joe Electric Pressure Washer arrived a while ago, but the crazy Chicago weather made it hard to get a true test for a while. It’s now warmed up, and we are on a mission to get our property into summer shape. On one of the sunny days above 60 degrees, Mike finally opened the box and got our Sun Joe assembled. He did this right after work, that’s why he is wearing bright safety colors. You may remember my sister reviewed the Snow Joe Electric Snow Blower over the winter. The company has products for all the seasons, which we love here since we can experience all four seasons in one day.
Assembly of the Sun Joe was quite simple. Mike never even looked at the instructions (which I don’t recommend – that’s just how we are). He had it up and running within about 20 minutes. The first thing he did was wash the car. When he read on the box that the electric pressure washer generates up to 2030 PSI, he said that’s perfect for washing the car. Powerful enough to get the dirt and grime off but not too intense to harm the vehicle.

Changing the nozzles adjusts the water pressure. I am not even kidding when I say this was like a new toy for Mike. Once he started playing around with the nozzles, he was outside cleaning everything. Considering he had just gotten home from a long day at work, that says a lot. He was exhausted and would typically save housework for a weekend day, but he had legitimate fun cleaning with the pressure washer. His enjoyment also means we are full-blown adults. 😉
This seems to be the year of home improvements for us, so the electric pressure washer from Sun Joe is a welcome addition. The day after we shot this video we had our driveway replaced. We also plan to redo our deck and hopefully improve a few more things before the season is over.
So far, Mike has washed the car, cleaned the cement around the house, power washed the rocks in the dogs’ potty area, and pressure washed the deck. We love it and think every homeowner should have one. Since it’s electric, I am even comfortable using it. I am not a fan of messing around with gas and oil, so this is a machine I appreciate.

I have been making a lot of home improvements this year. We could really use this also to clean our house and cement areas. It looks wonderful!

Nothing I need since I live in a townhouse and don’t have to clean outside. Does look like a very useful thing for homeowners.

You know, we actually have one just like it. I love it because when Hubby goes out to do the walk way, he ends up doing the driveway, sidewalk, side of the house, etc… he never stops, LOL

I can think of a variety of ways we could use a pressure washer, starting with our driveway and garage floor. I’m sure my handy husband would love one!
Brett Beyer says
These pressure washers are a heaven-sent necessity! I love how easy they make cleaning the house after a particularly dirty rain or awful windstorm. I couldn’t survive without them. Well, I could survive, but I wouldn’t enjoy life nearly as much.

I have always wanted to pressure wash the house myself… It can get quite expensive and to be able to do it myself would be great and I am sure it will look amazing.
Nancy at Whispered Inspirations says
Oooh, I totally need to get one of these. I know we would have tons of fun and things would get SUPER clean. I will look out for this!
Lisa Bristol says
I would love to have this for cleaning. It would be great for washing my siding.
Ann Bacciaglia says
This would be a great Fathers Day gift. I will have to pick one up for my Dad. He was just talking about wanting one.
Chelley Martinka says
I love this! I have been looking for a good pressure washer for the house- now that we have a bigger home and driveway- we have more to clean!
Aimee Smith says
My dad has one of these and he LOVES it! Does his house and then the neighbors too!
