When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 2436 Cleaning Units.
The SPX3000's motor is effortlessly activated with a simple ON/OFF switch, ensuring convenient operation. 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 its lightweight construction, tipping the scales at only 24.3 lbs, this unit is a portable powerhouse for all your cleaning needs. This owes partly to its plastic frame, contributing to its lightweight design. Enhancing its already lightweight design, the unit boasts two solid wheels, making transportation effortless.
Main Features
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: The unit's dual soap tank system allows the use of two different detergent solutions, according to your cleaning requirements. Each tank has a capacity of 0.24 gal. The Sun Joe SPX3000 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. 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: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: Review the table below to learn about the 5 included nozzles and the surfaces they're recommended for.
