Power
Utilizing a 13-amp induction motor, this machine's axial pump can deliver a pressure of 2000 PSI (around 33 times stronger than a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 1.1 GPM (values as per PWMA testing standards). Thus, the Sun Joe SPX3500 achieves a cleaning power of 2200 Cleaning Units.
The SPX3500 is easily activated by an ON/OFF switch, offering convenient operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
With a portable design and approximate dimensions of D16.7 x W14.5 x H36 in, the Sun Joe SPX3500 stands out for its focus on mobility. The handle adds to the SPX3500 convenience of transport.
With a weight of 36.8 lbs, the unit is comfortably maneuverable for most users, allowing for efficient handling during cleaning tasks. Given that much of the weight is due to its motor, Sun Joe's selection of a plastic frame ensures the unit remains reasonably lightweight. Nevertheless, the SPX3500's two solid wheels ensure it remains easy to maneuver.
Main Features
The Sun Joe SPX3500 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: The pressure washer features a removable 0.32 gal tank for detergent storage. The detergent dilution ratio is selected manually, via a dedicated dial. Connection of a soap nozzle triggers the pressure washer to automatically incorporate the detergent into the water stream.
- Pressure hose: The unit comes equipped with an included 20 ft high-pressure hose, which can be neatly stored on the unit when idle, thanks to a set of convenient hooks, ensuring easy access and organization.
- Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: Refer to the table below for details on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications.
