Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
Using a 13 amp universal motor, its axial pump delivers a pressure of up to 2300 PSI (roughly 38 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 1800 PSI and rated flow is 1.1 GPM. Together, the values result in a cleaning power of 1980 Cleaning Units.
The SPX3220 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 L20 x W12.5 x H14 in, the Sun Joe SPX3220 makes mobility one of its core strengths. The handle adds to the SPX3220 convenience of transport. The handle is molded in the frame to ensure that it will never fall apart.
The unit can be very easily carried around, as it weighs just 26.4 lbs. Among other factors, the plastic frame plays a role in this light weight. On top of its light weight, the transportability and ease of use of this model is further improved by the addition of four 6" solid wheels.
