he use to be the only US importer of them. And the ones you posted are wall mounted with no wheels. and they weigh like 60 pounds. Not something you want to pick up and move around when you need to use them

I've had several electric pressure washers and IMO they suck. Had nothing but issues with them, the most annoying being the inconsistent pressure you get. And while they are certainly quieter than gas powered, they make a bunch of annoying noises.

It's your choice obviously, but I would highly recommend getting a gas powered one... you'll have way more pressure and it'll be a lot more reliable and consistent. Plus, you can use it for a ton of other stuff around your house (washing exterior house/windows, cleaning your fence, cleaning concrete, deck, etc).

I bought a Yamaha one from Costco for $250, no issues in 3 years.

I have a Ryobi 1600psi 1.2GPM and it works fine. No proprietary fittings to deal with. I bought a 40-degree nozzle and I changed out the orifice on my foam cannon and it works like a charm. One day I may upgrade to a Kranzle-esque washer with a better GPM, but for right now this ~$115 unit gets the job done.

I have this one: Ryobi

Well the previous version without the handle and wheels. The best feature is that its small and you can tuck it away on a shelf. No proprietary fittings which means you can get different nozzles and guns. To wash my car I use a short gun with a foam cannon from Amazon. Yes, electric doesn't have the same pressure as a gas one but for car washing you don't need it. No issues after 3+ years of use.

I also have that exact Sun Joe. It’s worked fine for washing the boat and cars. For a cheap electric I have used it for 4 seasons. Only replaced the sprayer hose once as I left it out in the winter with water in it, froze, expanded and cracked it.
For $150 AND electric it works well.
