Description
Zoom on the Sun Joe SPX3000 XTREAM

Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
The Sun Joe SPX3000 XTREAM
With a 13 amp universal motor, its axial (wobble plate) pump delivers a pressure of 2200 PSI (roughly 37 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.65 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 1700 PSI and rated flow is 1.2 GPM, resulting in the Sun Joe SPX3000 XTREAM's cleaning power of 2040 Cleaning Units.
The SPX3000 XTREAM is an electric pressure washer and thus, can be easily started 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 x W16 x H34 in, the Sun Joe SPX3000 XTREAM makes mobility one of its core strengths. The handle adds to the SPX3000 XTREAM convenience of transport.
Because the device weighs just 28.4 lbs, carrying it around is very easy. This is, in part, thanks to its plastic frame, which allows it to remain as lightweight as possible. On top of its light weight, the transportability and ease of use of this model is further improved by the addition of two solid wheels.
