The Sun Joe SPX9008-PRO
The Sun Joe SPX9008-PRO's axial pump, powered by a 13.5 amp motor, can provide a pressure of up to 1400 PSI (approximately 23 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.35 GPM. The Sun Joe SPX9008-PRO thus has a cleaning power of 1890 Cleaning Units.
The SPX9008-PRO is an electric pressure washer and thus, can be easily started 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
Thanks to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D22.3 x W18.3 x H35.4 in, the Sun Joe SPX9008-PRO offers great mobility. The robust and sturdy steel frame offers longevity to the assembly. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the SPX9008-PRO convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
Most users can maneuver this model easily, as it weighs just 57.3 lbs. One of the largest contributors to its weight are its motor and its steel frame. But, as the SPX9008-PRO does have a set of two 9.5" wheels, it can be easily maneuvered and manipulated.
Main Features
The Sun Joe SPX9008-PRO
Along with the Sun Joe SPX9008-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: Detergent is stored in a removable 1 gal tank. The Sun Joe SPX9008-PRO is not equipped with a soap dilution mechanism, and thus, it is up to the user to ensure the detergent’s correct dilution ratio when using it. The detergent will be added automatically to the water when a soap nozzle is attached.
- Pressure hose: The included 20 ft high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when idle thanks to a set of convenient hooks.
