Winter can be harsh on outdoor surfaces, leaving behind all kinds of gunk around your property. You can clean things the old-fashioned way with a scrub brush—or you can use the deep cleaning power of a pressure washer. These devices can blast away months or years of grime in minutes. And, lucky for you, Amazon is offering 24 percent off this editor-favorite Sun Joe SPX3000 Pressure Washer, dropping the price to $129.
Roy Berendsohn, our senior home editor, chose the Sun Joe SPX3000 Pressure Washer as his favorite value pick among the best pressure washers. “The machine’s ergonomics are very good; the hose outlets, the on/off switch, and the carrying handle are well shaped and located to make this little machine easy to use,” Berendsohn says.
Sun Joe’s pressure washer delivers 1700 PSI of cleaning power from a 13-amp motor. It also features a maximum flow of 1.2 gallons per minute (GPM), which is sufficient enough to handle light-duty cleaning tasks, including cleaning sidewalks, without using an excessive amount of water.
The Sun Joe features a 34-inch stainless steel lance for extended reach and support for five quick-connect tips, including a 40-degree nozzle, allowing you to cover a larger surface with each pass. There are two detergent tanks and a garden hose adapter, making it easy to connect to the outlet on the side of your house. The pressure washer has a 35-foot power cord (compatible with most household outlets) and 20 feet of hose length, giving you decent reach around your property.
While a pressure washer is great for cleaning, it doesn’t come without risks. Our guide has several safety tips to protect yourself and your property’s surfaces. If you heed these tips, the Sun Joe SPX3000 Pressure Washer should clean away winter grime without issue, giving you more time to lounge on your patio once spring officially arrives.
