Description
Zoom on the Sun Joe SPX2500
The Sun Joe SPX2500 is a light duty pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:
- pinpoint spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, accessing high areas, and successfully removing stubborn stains
- mild cleaning for delicate surfaces, and low-pressure cleaning for broader areas
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
Utilizing a 13-amp universal motor, this machine's axial (wobble plate) pump can deliver a pressure of 1885 PSI (around 31 times stronger than a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 1.59 GPM (values as per CSA testing standards). While these PSI and GPM values represent the maximum capabilities of the washer under specific conditions, it's important to note that under typical usage, the working pressure is 1305 PSI and the flow rate is 1.3 GPM. Thus, the Sun Joe SPX2500 achieves a cleaning power of 1696.5 Cleaning Units.
With its electric design, the SPX2500 starts up effortlessly with a quick press of an ON/OFF switch, ensuring ease of use. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
Prioritizing ease of transportation, the Sun Joe SPX2500 incorporates a portable design and approximate dimensions of D14.1 x W15.7 x H29.7 in. The handle adds to the SPX2500 convenience of transport.
Weighing in at a mere 23.8 lbs, this unit is designed for effortless portability and convenience. The use of an plastic frame helps maintain its lightweight build. Further enhancing its lightweight design, the unit features two 5" wheels, streamlining transportation and maneuverability.
Main Features
The Sun Joe SPX2500's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap injection: The pressure washer comes equipped with a removable 0.32 gal tank to store detergent. It must be noted that the Sun Joe SPX2500 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: Included with the unit is a 20 ft high-pressure hose, which effortlessly connects to the unit for quick setup. However, it doesn't feature any proper storage solution for it (no reel, strap or hook).
- 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
The Sun Joe SPX2500
- Total Stop System (TSS): Featuring an automatic shut-off mechanism, this pressure washer stops running when the trigger is released, enhancing the pump's durability.
- Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation).
- Accessories: The Sun Joe SPX2500 comes with an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and some basic documentation to get you quickly started. On top of that, you also get power cord, nozzle cleaner, spray gun, wand and pressure hose.

- At 1.59 GPM, this washer placed at the top tier of the above-mentioned price range, delivering a significant amount of water. If your priority is efficient debris removal, consider one of the products with the highest GPM in this price range, such as the Westinghouse ePX3500, boasting 1.76 GPM.
