Sun JoeCordless Portable Spray & Pressure Washer w/ Battery & Charger, 24V WA24C-LTE

Ok. So I was a skeptic but as I get older my giant shower and tub have become harder and harder to clean. I recently had a baby and I let both get so neglected…. I ordered this in hopes I wouldn’t have to scrub on my hands and knees and also be able to reach the high places to rinse. It took a little figuring out making sure the hoses were connected tightly but once they were I literally didn’t have to scrub at all.. just sprayed it down with scrubbing bubble and hosed it off. I cannot recommend this any higher than I am.. I never write reviews and this just blew my mind. My chores just got 1000xs easier.

This has made my life so much easier. I grow a lot of plants on my balcony and I don't have a water outlet/hose on my balcony. I didn't know if I wanted to spend $100+ dollars on something like this, but I couldn't find any products similar to this one and this has been a gamechanger for me.At first glance, it did not look to me like it would actually fill 5 gallons of water, but it does! It is quite heavy, but not impossible to carry when full. The hose connection needs to be sturdily pressed in or else it will leak when turned on. Sometimes it will click in but still feel loose, that means it is not clicked in properly.The noise of the pump is very low and not bothersome at all. It will sound like its off if you're not using the sprayer and the hose is full. I turned it on and off a couple times thinking it wasn't working cause the noise stopped but it was working fine. The nozzle sprays pretty strongly, enough to wash off debris, or for a strong mist. I love the shower head to water my plants. The water pressure is strong, but not too strong. I was able to water my plants for about 10-15 minutes on and off (not continuously) before it pretty much emptied out the entire 5 gallons. So I would say it would maybe take less than 10 minutes to empty out the whole container continuously.Before this, I had a 3gal spray mister that you had to pump by hand and it would take me about 45 mins to empty out the 3 gallons, and I needed to do this at least 3 or 4 times. It got to the point where I ended up using the largest bowls I could find and going back and forth between the kitchen and the balcony 20+ times because that was a faster solution. So this has been a major gamechanger for me and has made my life so much easier. Even if I have to refill 2 or 3 times, the entire process is so much faster, I can finish watering all my plants in less than 45 minutes.I read a lot of reviews that said the hose connection part breaks off easily, so I am being very careful with that. It does seem like a weak point that could break easily with too much force. I love the vibrant green color. I like that it has a little pouch on the side to stash the nozzle and hose. I take out the battery whenever I am not using it, just in case and so I remember to charge it. I wish the battery compartment was a little more sturdy and sealed so I feel safer about not getting any water in there. It is only held by a small magnet which doesn't fall off or anything, but doesn't really give that peace of mind that water won't get in there.

Noticed there were water droplets already in the container upon first opening the package. Not sure if this means the item was used or that they did some quality control, either way, not a good sign. After filling the unit with water to test the spray, I noticed that the pressure was very inconsistent. At times the pressure was good, at times the pressure was very poor. Filled the unit up again to the max to ensure there were no leaks and left pressure washer sitting in the garage for 3-4 hours. When I went back into the garage, there was a pool of water underneath the unit. Checked to see if the leak was coming from the hose connector and it was dry, no drips. Seems like the unit was leaking from inside (body of the unit is made up of two parts essentially, bottom and top). Not sure if I got a dud but sending the unit back for a replacement.I will update this review again after inspecting the replacement unit, but I would encourage you to do the same checks to ensure the product is not defective.Update (7/7/2020) - Got my replacement and confirmed no water droplets inside the container. Performed the leak test again by filling the container full of water, no leaks. Tested the pressure and emptied the water out, no issues with inconsistent pressure.It took a few days to ship to my house so I feel like it's coming from the manufacturer even though I purchased from Amazon (I have Prime). I am not too happy that I got a used unit when I purchased new. Not sure if they just decided to ship out a returned unit, but you should perform the same checks I did when purchasing this pressure washer. Seems shady that they did this and just a waste of my time.
