Pressure Washer Choice

[Plug-n-Play]

Any suggestion?

Don't the Karcher and the Sun Joe use standard pressure washer connectors? If so, your Foam Cannon should just move from one to the other.

I get that people here will only use their pressure washers to clean their car.

I’m of the type that if I’m gonna spend xx on a pressure washer I’m good with spending xxx if it allows me to clean my sidewalk, do my house, do my fence.... ect.

I hate buying some lower grade tool and then it doesn’t work when I really need it to. Prob why my toolbox is filled with all snap on a matco

My comment actually had nothing to do with that, I don't know much about Power Washers. Just seemed a little funny saying "don't buy electric" on a Tesla forum.

I *think* that this is what you need:

I'm in the same situation as you, and this is what I'm planning on buying after my new pressure washer arrives in 2 days. I just want to look at when connection it wants before ordering from amazon (and making sure I don't already have a spare hanging out near my air compressor).

Unfortunately, some(all?) karchers use a proprietary bayonet style connector.

Sorry. I thought Sun Joe also use a proprietary connector ?!?

Ah, my bad - I was not aware that they both had proprietary connectors. Maybe there isn't a Karcher to Sun Joe adapter, but surely they can both adapt to standard quick connect and go that route? Admittedly, that might get unwieldy and you add more points of failure...

Aw, man. Now I'm sad. I should have done my research before buying the sunjoe. Now I have to figure out how to either get a sunjoe adaptor for my cannon, or change the sunjoe to use a standard fitting.

Okay, I think the adapter above to convert the foam cannon to 1/4 disconnect, followed up by this:

https://www.amazon.com/Mingle-Pressure-Washer-Adapter-Connect/dp/B07HMHBLRD

to allow the use of 1/4 on the sun joe, and I'll be in business.

*sigh*

Now I'm taking a "wait and see" approach, since the sun joe website says this:

"Can I use an aftermarket spray nozzle with the quick connect wand?
Your Pressure Joe SPX3000 uses a universal 1/4" (F) Quick Connect spray wand that is compatible with most 1/4" (M) Quick Connect spray nozzles.
"

seems like you should be able to just stick the foam cannon on the end of the "quick connect" wand if the cannon is a standard 1/4 connection.

Yeah same here. I returned my sunjoe after thinking about the extras I wanted for it and got one called power washer brushless from Amazon when it was on lightning deal. Didn't want to worry about all these adapters to make it work with standard accessories and to replace with a longer hose was not doable with the sunjoe proprietary connector.

That begs some specifics on other tasks one hopes to use it for.

I was thinking the same thing... maybe to wash the oily crud off the engine, oh, wait...

I clean my car at home. Only sometimes I drive to the local washing service if my car needs a professional wash. I use sun joe spx3000 electric pressure washer. This washer is good enough and it works for nearly 3 years already.
