In this article, we are going to compare two popular pressure washers that are great for use around the home. These machines are compact enough to move around to whichever part of your home that you would like to clean and they are powerful enough to tackle most of the stains that you would find here.
The machines that we will be looking at are the PowRyte Elite High-Pressure Washer and the Sun Joe SPX3001. Without wasting any more time, let’s jump in to find out the similarities and differences between these two devices.
Cleaning Performance
The amount of pressure that the pressure washer is capable of developing will determine to a great extent how effective it is going to be in cleaning different surfaces. Let’s find out how these two machines perform.
PowRyte Elite High Pressure Washer
With a pressure rating of 3800 PSI, this pressure washer does an incredible job of cleaning out dirt and grime from cement, decks, trucks, garbage cans, animal cages, and many other surfaces. 2.8 gallons of water flow through the machine every minute. This gives the pressure washer impeccable cleaning and rinsing capabilities on most surfaces no matter the impurities you are dealing with.
When it comes to cleaning options, this pressure washer comes with 4 quick connect tips for the spray gun to ensure that you get the perfect jet for the job. These four nozzles are one 0-degree nozzle, one 15-degree nozzle, one 25-degree nozzle, and a 45-degree nozzle.
Unfortunately, this pressure washer does not come with a built-in soap tank. If you need to apply soap in your cleaning job, you will need to make do with the external detergent dispenser. It’s not the most convenient, but it will still get the job done.
Sun Joe SPX3001 Electric Pressure Washer
This machine comes with a 14.5 amp 1800 watt mortar that sends out water at 2030 PSI.1.76 gallons of water are pushed out every minute and although these numbers this may not sound like much when placed side by side with the PowRyte machine, the results are quite impressive.
Whether you are cleaning wood, concrete or metal surfaces, this pressure washer is powerful enough to get all the dirt out. It comes with 5 quick-connect spray tips to customize the jet leaving the spray gun so that you find something that works perfectly for your needs. These five spray tips are a 0-degree, 15-degree, 25-degree, and 40-degree tip for pressurized water and if you need to use soap, the onboard 40.6 fl oz. detergent tank together with a special spray tip for soap will ensure that you get the perfect solution.
Maneuverability
Now that we have explored the cleaning abilities of these pressure washers, let’s now try to find out how easy it is to use them.
PowRyte Elite High Pressure Washer
This pressure washer comes with two large wheels that you can use to roll the machine to whichever part of your home that needs cleaning. It has been designed with a place for holding the spray gun and the rolled hose so that the machine can roll easily without any problems.
When you need to stop and move to clean a different area, the Total Stop System will automatically shut off the pump when the trigger is not engaged to save water and energy while helping to prolong the pump’s life.
The high-pressure hose is 20 feet long to ensure that you don’t have to keep moving the machine as you clean. Even if you are pressure washing a large SUV, this hose is long enough to go around the car without having to constantly move the machine. However, it would have been great if this hose would have come with a reel on the machine to make it easy to neatly roll it into a compact space after use.
At 35 feet, the power cord is also quite impressive. You won’t need to have a power outlet close to the area that needs cleaning because this long cord will give you the freedom and flexibility that you need to clean without worrying about power outlets.
Sun Joe SPX3001 Electric Pressure Washer
This one also comes with two large wheels that make it easy to move the machine from one area to the other as you clean the different parts of your home. The hose, power cord, and spray jet also have onboard storage spaces to ensure that moving is effortless.
The pressure washer also comes with the Total Stop System that shuts the pump off when the trigger is released to save water and energy and also to prolong the pump’s life.
The high-pressure hose on this machine is also 20 feet long to give you flexibility without being too long to cause cord tangling. You will be happy to know that this pressure washer comes with an onboard hose reel that makes your work easy once you have finished pressure washing your home. It also provides storage for excess cord because when you don’t need the whole length. This way, the cord is less likely to get tangled.
It also comes with a 35-foot power cord that will see to it that you won’t have to use an extension cord or keep moving from one power outlet to the other so that you can reach all parts that you would like to clean.
Conclusion
Although the PowRyte pressure washer has more impressive numbers, the Sun Joe is the winner in this comparison. This is thanks to the onboard detergent tank and extra soap nozzle tip, the onboard hose reel that will make your life much easier and the company’s better customer support and warranty.
