Power Comparison
- Fuel: Both units are electric pressure washers.
- Engine & Pump: The Sun Joe SPX3000 and the Sun Joe SPX3000-MAX both use an axial-type pump to put water under pressure. In either case, the pump is powered by a 14.5-amp motor. However, the Sun Joe SPX3000-MAX has the advantage of featuring an induction motor which is more energy-efficient, quiet and durable than the universal motor of the Sun Joe SPX3000.
The following charts are provided to show you at a glance how the main specs of the Sun Joe SPX3000 compare to the Sun Joe SPX3000-MAX.

- Water Flow: When operating at low pressure, the SPX3000 can generate a much higher maximum volume of water than the SPX3000-MAX. It can deliver up to 1.76 GPM (gallons per minute), whereas the SPX3000-MAX offers a maximum water flow of 1.3 GPM. The former should thus allow you to rinse away dirt and debris with significantly better efficiency and speed.
