Description
Zoom on the Sun Joe SPX3000 XTREAM
The Sun Joe SPX3000 XTREAM is a medium duty pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching high areas, and removing stubborn stains
- complete cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface prep for painting
- mild cleaning for delicate surfaces, and low-pressure cleaning for broader areas
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
Powered by a 14.9-amp universal motor, its axial (wobble plate) pump can generate a forceful pressure of 2200 PSI (roughly 37 times that of a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 1.1 GPM (values as per PWMA testing standards). When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 2420 Cleaning Units.
With its electric design, the SPX3000 XTREAM 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
With a portable design and approximate dimensions of D14 x W16 x H34 in, the Sun Joe SPX3000 XTREAM stands out for its focus on mobility. The handle adds to the SPX3000 XTREAM convenience of transport.
This unit's low weight of 27 lbs ensures easy maneuverability, allowing you to tackle cleaning projects with minimal effort. This is, in part, thanks to its plastic frame, which allows it to remain as lightweight as possible. Complementing its lightweight frame, two solid wheels are integrated, facilitating effortless transportation.
Main Features
Along with the Sun Joe SPX3000 XTREAM itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent addition feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap addition: Detergent is added to the water at the exit, by attaching the included foam cannon to the end of the wand. You can manually adjust the detergent dilution ratio using the foam cannon's dial.
- Pressure hose: With a set of convenient hooks, the unit provides a convenient way to store the included 20 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose when not in use, keeping it organized and readily accessible.

- The Sun Joe SPX3000 XTREAM, which can reach up to 2200 PSI, has one of the higher pressure outputs of the electric units that cost between $195 and $255.
