The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics and design, its main features and all the additional features it has to offer.
Power
The Sun Joe SPX3220's axial pump, powered by a 13 amp universal motor, can provide a pressure of up to 2300 PSI (approximately 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. The Sun Joe SPX3220 thus has a cleaning power of 1980 Cleaning Units.
Being an electric pressure washer, the Sun Joe SPX3220's motor can be easily started by a convenient 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’s design prevents it from falling apart, since it is molded in the frame.
With a weight of only 26.4 lbs, the unit is very easy to carry around. This is, in part, thanks to its plastic frame, which allows it to remain as lightweight as possible. A set of four 6" solid wheels also improves the ease of transport of the device.

- Soap injection: Detergent is stored in a 0.21 gal tank. Whenever a soap nozzle is connected, the detergent is automatically added to the water.
- Pressure hose: The 20 ft high-pressure hose, which is included with the device, can be stored neatly on the unit itself when idle, using a set of convenient hooks.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
