    I had a pin hole leak and pressure wasnt that good. So yes leaks cause their to be no pressure

    Was doing my fence tonight to see how the SunJoe worked, and it would do real good, then all of a sudden barely working, then it would do real good again, then barely working. Over and over and over. Thoughts?

    Not enough water getting to the unit. Do the directions specify what size hose to hook up to the washer? You may need a 3/4" hose.

    The hose is fine. It worked flawlessly when I washed my truck, but that was when the hose was hooked directly to the spigot. I'm thinking it's cause of all the leaks at the different connections when I hooked it to the hose roll up thing. When I get home, I'm gonna hook it up directly to the house again and see what happens.

    Mine did this but again my hose has a pin hole leak. Make sure no leaks at all so pressure gets to where it needs to be

    Used the 25 degree tip and ran the washer almost continuous for 9 hours with a pause here and there to spray TSP on the roof with my pump up sprayer. A little over 2000sf worth of roof.

    I was pretty impressed with it's performance seeing how it just an electric.

    Roof all done:

    UPDATE: Hooked my pressure washer up with the hose directly attached to the house spigot (bypassing the stupid little leaks), and it worked like a champion pressure washing my fence!! :woot:

    Lol thanks. Really like it. Now I don’t have to spend millions in a wash bay when my truck is muddy. Already did my drive way with it, awesome!

    Pressure Washer newbie here. been thinking about getting one for a while and wondering what is the min PSI needed? I will be washing my Tundra, the other 2 cars in the family , cleaning the driveway, and maybe my fence. based on my usage I think electric will be sufficient (kills me to say that) but not sure on what is the lowest PSI I should consider? Also what accessories are a must, foam cannon?

    Lol... Not quite but you're close.

    My son is AF CSAR so I painted those up there to give them something to look at when they happen to wander over to our side of town.

    This is my setup, im a contractor so my pressure washer is more than your typical weekend warrior needs , but if you want a heavy duty pressure washer that lasts for years make sure it has a CAT pump and a honda motor

    Its a Simpson ALH 3228-2 , its 3,200 psi, i bought the simpson pressure regulator 82235 dial-n-wash, that way you can control the pressure on the foam canon or the tip when u rinse, my foam canon is the Amazon $17 basic unit its cheap and works just fine, my pressure washes is on sale for the next 2 days, check ebay if you'd like

    I've had the G2700 for a little while now. Picked it up at my local Wally world. It's been a great PW so far. Far better than the previous electric ones I've owned. I just used it yesterday to clean the concrete on my side yard.

    That's how I feel about lawn mowers.
