Power
The Sun Joe SPX3500
With a 13-amp induction motor powering it, the axial pump of this unit is capable of achieving a pressure of 2000 PSI (approximately 33 times greater than that of a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 1.1 GPM (values as per PWMA testing standards). Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 2200 Cleaning Units.
The SPX3500 easily starts up with the press of an ON/OFF switch, providing seamless operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
Featuring a portable design and approximate dimensions of D16.7 x W14.5 x H36 in, the Sun Joe SPX3500 underscores its dedication to mobility. The handle adds to the SPX3500 convenience of transport.
This unit, weighing 36.8 lbs, strikes a comfortable balance between portability and stability, ensuring easy maneuvering for users of various strengths. The weight, largely contributed by its motor, is moderated by Sun Joe's use of a plastic frame, keeping it within a practical range. Despite this, the SPX3500's two solid wheels ensure effortless maneuverability.
