Power
The Sun Joe SPX9005-PRO
With a 13.5 amp induction motor, its axial pump delivers a pressure of 1300 PSI (roughly 22 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2 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 1000 PSI and rated flow is 1.8 GPM, resulting in the Sun Joe SPX9005-PRO's cleaning power of 1800 Cleaning Units.
Since it is an electric pressure washer, the motor of the SPX9005-PRO is started simply 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
The Sun Joe SPX9005-PRO offers superb mobility, with a hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D22.3 x W18.3 x H35.4 in. The robust and sturdy steel frame offers longevity to the assembly. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the SPX9005-PRO convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
With a weight of 57.3 lbs, the unit can be easily maneuvered by most users. A major component of its weight are its motor and steel frame. However, the two 9.5" wheels allow the SPX9005-PRO to be easily manipulated and maneuvered.
Main Features
The Sun Joe SPX9005-PRO
Along with the Sun Joe SPX9005-PRO itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap injection: A safe detergent storage is facilitated by a removable 1 gal tank. However, since the Sun Joe SPX9005-PRO does not feature a soap dilution mechanism, you'll have to make sure your detergent is correctly diluted before use. If a soap nozzle is attached, the device will proceed to add the detergent to the water automatically.
- Pressure hose: The included 25 ft high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when idle thanks to 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.
- Nozzles: The 5 nozzles included with the device, and the respective surfaces which they’re the most suitable for, are shown in the following table.
