Power
With a 14.9-amp induction motor, its axial pump delivers a pressure of 2350 PSI (roughly 39 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.8 GPM (values as per CSA testing standards). While these PSI and GPM values represent the maximum capabilities of the washer under specific conditions, it's important to note that under typical usage, the working pressure is 2000 PSI and the flow rate is 1.1 GPM, resulting in the Sun Joe SPX3550's cleaning power of 2200 Cleaning Units.
The SPX3550 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
The Sun Joe SPX3550's commitment to mobility is evident through its portable design and approximate dimensions of D15 x W17 x H36 in. The handle adds to the SPX3550 convenience of transport.
With its featherlight weight of 24 lbs, this unit offers unparalleled ease of transport and handling. This owes partly to its plastic frame, contributing to its lightweight design. In addition to its lightweight build, the inclusion of two solid wheels ensures easy mobility and handling.
Main Features
The Sun Joe SPX3550's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap injection: Detergent storage is facilitated by the inclusion of a removable 0.32 gal tank. The detergent dilution ratio can be manually selected, using a dial. When a soap nozzle is connected, the pressure washer takes the initiative to mix the detergent with the water flow automatically.
- Pressure hose: For easy organization, the included 20 ft high-pressure hose can be stored on the unit using a set of convenient hooks when it's not in use, ensuring a clutter-free workspace.
- Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: The table below shows you the 5 included nozzles and the surfaces they're the most appropriate for.
