Power
The Sun Joe SPX3000
Powered by a 13-amp universal motor, its axial (wobble plate) pump can deliver a pressure of 2030 PSI (around 34 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.2 GPM (values as per PWMA testing standards). With these values combined, the Sun Joe SPX3000 boasts a cleaning power of 2436 Cleaning Units.
The SPX3000 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
Emphasizing mobility as a core feature, the Sun Joe SPX3000 boasts a portable design and approximate dimensions of D15.6 x W13.5 x H33.9 in. The handle adds to the SPX3000 convenience of transport.
With a weight of only 24.3 lbs, this lightweight unit is effortlessly portable, making it ideal for tasks that require frequent movement or transport around your home or property. Thanks in part to its plastic frame, it remains lightweight. Complementing its lightweight frame, two solid wheels are integrated, facilitating effortless transportation.
Main Features
The Sun Joe SPX3000
Along with the Sun Joe SPX3000 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap injection: Two different detergent solutions can be used to match your needs, thanks to a dual soap tank system. Each tank has a capacity of 0.24 gal. It must be noted that the Sun Joe SPX3000 doesn’t come with a soap dilution mechanism. Therefore, you must always make sure that your detergent is correctly diluted. When a soap nozzle is connected, the pressure washer takes the initiative to mix the detergent with the water flow automatically.
- Pressure hose: The included 20 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when not in use, utilizing a set of convenient hooks for convenient organization.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.

- With its 2030 PSI max pressure output, the Sun Joe SPX3000 is in the expected pressure range, for electric units in the $150-180 price range.
