- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces or high reach areas

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 SPX2598-MAX
Powered by a 13 amp motor, its axial (wobble plate) pump can deliver a pressure of 2000 PSI (around 33 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.6 GPM. These are the maximum values that the washer can reach only under specific conditions. Under typical load, working pressure is 1500 PSI and rated flow is 1.2 GPM. Combined, these values mean that the Sun Joe SPX2598-MAX has a cleaning power of 1800 Cleaning Units.
Since it is an electric pressure washer, the motor of the SPX2598-MAX 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
With its portable design, the Sun Joe SPX2598-MAX makes mobility one of its core strengths. The handle adds to the SPX2598-MAX convenience of transport.
Because the device weighs just 15.8 lbs, carrying it around is very easy. It is lightweight, partly thanks to its plastic frame. As if this lightweight wasn't enough, the device also features two wheels to further improve its ease of use and of transport.
