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:
- spot cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces and out-of-reach areas
- cleaning of painted and frail 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 SPX2500's axial (wobble plate) pump, powered by a 13 amp universal motor, can provide a pressure of up to 1885 PSI (approximately 31 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.59 GPM (values as per CSA testing standards). The Sun Joe SPX2500 thus has a cleaning power of 2997.15 Cleaning Units.
Since it is an electric pressure washer, the motor of the SPX2500 is started simply by an 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 D14.1 x W15.7 x H29.7 in, the Sun Joe SPX2500 makes mobility one of its core strengths. The handle adds to the SPX2500 convenience of transport.
Since the unit weighs only 23.8 lbs, it is very easily carried around. Among other factors, the plastic frame plays a role in this light weight. On top of its light weight, the transportability and easy of use of this model is further improved by the addition of two 5" wheels.
Main Features
The Sun Joe SPX2500 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: A safe detergent storage is facilitated by a removable 0.32 gal tank. The Sun Joe SPX2500 is not equipped with a soap dilution mechanism, and thus, it is up to the user to ensure the detergent’s correct dilution ratio when using it. Detergent is automatically added to the water when the unit is set to low pressure mode and to the 'Fan Spray' pattern.
- Pressure hose: This washer comes with an easy-to-connect 20 ft high-pressure hose. But, there is no proper storage solution designed 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): 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: On top of an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and the usual documentation to get you swiftly started, the Sun Joe SPX2500 also comes with power cord, nozzle cleaner, pressure hose, wand and spray gun.

- Reaching a 1885 PSI max pressure output, the Sun Joe SPX2500 has an expected pressure value, compared to the other electric units in the $120 to $150 price range.

- Reaching up to 2997.15 Cleaning Units (PSI x GPM), the SPX2500 is one of the more efficient amongst its similarly priced peers.
