Description
Zoom on the Sun Joe SPX9009-PRO
In a nutshell, the Sun Joe SPX9009-PRO is a light duty pressure washer, which not only offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, but that also allows:
- spot cleaning of hard, paintless surfaces and reaching far-away areas
- intense cleaning of tough, paintless surfaces
- cleaning of painted and frail surfaces
- applying detergent and cleaning solutions
The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics and design, its main features and all the additional features it has to offer.
Power
The Sun Joe SPX9009-PRO
Using a 13.5 amp induction motor, its axial pump delivers a pressure of up to 1800 PSI (roughly 30 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.6 GPM (values as per CSA testing standards). Together, the values result in a cleaning power of 2880 Cleaning Units.
Since it is an electric pressure washer, the motor of the SPX9009-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
Thanks to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D22.3 x W18.3 x H35.4 in, the Sun Joe SPX9009-PRO offers great mobility. The robust steel frame guarantees longevity of the assembly. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the SPX9009-PRO convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
Most users can maneuver this model easily, as it weighs just 63.4 lbs. Its motor and steel frame all add up to a substantial part of that weight. Since the SPX9009-PRO has a set of two 9.5" wheels, it is still easily maneuvered and manipulated.
Main Features
The Sun Joe SPX9009-PRO comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: Detergent storage is ensured by a removable 1 gal tank. It must be noted that the Sun Joe SPX9009-PRO doesn’t come with a soap dilution mechanism. Therefore, you must always make sure that your detergent is correctly diluted. If a soap nozzle is attached, the device will proceed to add the detergent to the water automatically.
- Pressure hose: Using a convenient hose reel, which also improves its lifespan, the included 25 ft high-pressure hose can be easily stored on the unit when it is not running.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzles: The 5 included nozzles, and the respective surfaces they’re appropriate for, are listed in the table below.

The Sun Joe SPX9009-PRO's performance versus other pressure washers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the Sun Joe SPX9009-PRO compare to similarly priced pressure washers.
- The Sun Joe SPX9009-PRO and its 1800 PSI, ranks amongst electric pressure washers with a comparably low pressure output, considering the units that cost between $400 and $500. If your priority is the highest possible power of the water stream, in this price range, we suggest checking out the AR Blue Clean MAXX3000, which reaches up to 3000 PSI.
- In the aforementioned price range, the GPM (gallons per minute) of this washer, which can reach 1.6, can be considered in the average. If you’re after the highest rinsing efficiency, one of the units with the highest water flow in the current price range is the Greenworks GPW2200, that can deliver up to 2.3 GPM.
- The SPX9009-PRO's Cleaning Units, 2880 CU (PSI x GPM), fall into the lower end when compared to electric devices of similar price. If you are after the highest overall cleaning power, the Greenworks GPW2200 with its 5060 Cleaning Units is one of the products that can achieve the highest cleaning efficiency in this price range.
