Description
Zoom on the Sun Joe SPX2000
In a nutshell, the Sun Joe SPX2000 is a light duty pressure washer, which not only offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, but that also allows:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces and high-reach cleaning
- cleaning of painted or delicate surfaces
The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics and design, its main features and all the additional features it has to offer.
Power
The Sun Joe SPX2000
The Sun Joe SPX2000's axial (wobble plate) pump, powered by a 12.5 amp universal motor, can provide a pressure of up to 1740 PSI (approximately 29 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.59 GPM (values as per CSA testing standards). These are the maximum values that the washer can reach only under specific conditions. Under typical load, working pressure is 1150 PSI and rated flow is 1.24 GPM. The Sun Joe SPX2000 thus has a cleaning power of 1426 Cleaning Units.
As it is an electric pressure washer, the motor of the SPX2000 gets easily started by a simple ON/OFF switch. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
With its portable design and approximate dimensions of D13 x W10 x H31.5 in, the Sun Joe SPX2000 makes mobility one of its core strengths. The handle adds to the SPX2000 convenience of transport.
With a weight of only 17.4 lbs, the unit is definitely easy to carry around. Its plastic frame certainly plays a key role in this light weight. On top of its light weight, the transportability and ease of use of this model is further improved by the addition of two 6.5" wheels.
Main Features
The Sun Joe SPX2000
The Sun Joe SPX2000's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap injection: Detergent storage is ensured by a removable 0.24 gal tank. It must be noted that the Sun Joe SPX2000 doesn’t come with a soap dilution mechanism. Therefore, you must always make sure that your detergent is correctly diluted. Detergent is automatically added to the water when the unit is set to low pressure mode and to the 'Fan Spray' pattern.
- Pressure hose: A neat storage for the included 20 ft high-pressure hose is facilitated by a set of convenient hooks.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its versatile wand. Sun Joe's adjustable wand removes the need for different nozzles. By turning the pressure adjustment knob, it is possible to easily change the water pressure from an intense, 0° jet spray to a gentle, 45° fan spray.
Other Features
Some of the included accessories
- Total Stop System (TSS): This feature automatically shuts off the pressure washer when the trigger is not engaged, to prolong the pump's lifespan.
- Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation).
- Accessories: Included with the Sun Joe SPX2000 are also the owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and some basic documentation to get you promptly started, along with several accessories, such as pressure hose, wand, spray gun, nozzle cleaner and power cord.

The Sun Joe SPX2000's performance versus other pressure washers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the Sun Joe SPX2000 compare to similarly priced pressure washers.
- The Sun Joe SPX2000 with its 1740 PSI achieves a lower pressure value, compared to other electric pressure washers in the $100-130 price range. If you're going after the highest possible power of the water stream, one of the best in this price range is the Westinghouse ePX3500 that can reach up to 2500 PSI.
- In the aforementioned price range, the 1.59 GPM (gallons per minute) of this washer makes it one of the better performing units in terms of the delivered volume of water. In case you are looking for a device which can most efficiently rinse away debris in the current price range, the Sun Joe SPX2688-MAX has the highest GPM of 1.8.
- With 1426 Cleaning Units, the SPX2000 is on the low end when compared to other similarly priced electric devices. If you consider the highest overall cleaning power as a really important factor, the Pulsar PWE2001V and its 3200 Cleaning Units has one of the highest cleaning efficiency of all the similarly priced units.
Price comparison
As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other electric washers between 1000 and 1500 Cleaning Units, the Sun Joe SPX2000 is on the expensive side of the price range.
While certainly not the cheapest of its cleaning power range, purchasing it could most likely also mean enjoying the reliability of a high-end product.
The bottom line
- Portable
- High GPM for the price
- On the expensive side
- No detergent dilution mechanism
- Low PSI for the price
- Low CU for the price

Got this and was looking forward to using it. Very light compared to my old unit. Fairly easy to assemble. Started to use and amazed at the powerful spray. Now the disappointing part, and why I would not recommend this power washer: when moving the unit around the hose keeps popping off from the unit. There is a garden hose adapter that you attach to your garden hose. Then you attach the adapter to the water inlet port on the machine. But when you move the power washer around the garden hose adapter becomes uncoupled from the water inlet port of the washer. These connections are all cheap plastic instead of brass. So I went to a hardware store and bought a brass coupler that connects the garden hose to the washer port and still the same problem. This is because the port the coupler attaches to on the unit is made of the same cheap plastic. Very disappointing.
