Zoom on the Sun Joe SPX3000-MAX

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 SPX3000-MAX in use

The Sun Joe SPX3000-MAX

Using a 14.5 amp induction motor, its axial (wobble plate) pump delivers a pressure of up to 2800 PSI (roughly 47 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.3 GPM. These are the maximum values that the washer can reach only under specific conditions. Under typical load, working pressure is 2200 PSI and rated flow is 1.1 GPM. Together, the values result in a cleaning power of 2420 Cleaning Units.

As it is an electric pressure washer, the motor of the SPX3000-MAX 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 D13.5 x W15.6 x H33.9 in, the Sun Joe SPX3000-MAX makes mobility one of its core strengths. The handle adds to the SPX3000-MAX convenience of transport.

Standing at only 37.5 lbs, this model can be carried around very easily. It is lightweight, partly thanks to its plastic frame. As if this lightweight wasn't enough, the device also features two 8" solid wheels to further improve its ease of use and of transport.
