Description
Zoom on the Sun Joe SPX2680-MAX
In a nutshell, the Sun Joe SPX2680-MAX is a medium duty pressure washer that allows:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces or high reach areas
- thorough cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces
- cleaning of painted or delicate surfaces
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
The Sun Joe SPX2680-MAX's axial cam pump, powered by a 13 amp universal motor, can provide a pressure of up to 2050 PSI (approximately 34 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.65 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 1600 PSI and rated flow is 1.1 GPM. The Sun Joe SPX2680-MAX thus has a cleaning power of 1760 Cleaning Units.
Since it is an electric pressure washer, the motor of the SPX2680-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 SPX2680-MAX makes mobility one of its core strengths. The handle adds to the SPX2680-MAX convenience of transport.
Standing at only 16.3 lbs, this model can be carried around very easily. This is, in part, thanks to its plastic frame, which allows it to remain as lightweight as possible. To further improve its transportability and ease of use, the unit also features a set of two solid wheels.
Main Features
The Sun Joe SPX2680-MAX comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 3 nozzles and a detergent addition feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap addition: Detergent is added to the water at the exit, by attaching the included foam cannon to the end of the wand. The foam cannon features a dial to allow you to manually choose the detergent dilution ratio.
- Pressure hose: A neat storage for the included 20 ft high-pressure hose is facilitated by a set of convenient hooks.
- Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: The 3 included nozzles, and the respective surfaces they’re appropriate for, are listed in the table below.

works pretty good . nosel hose could be a little longer or have extension and the placement of the nossel to machine is kinda in a difficult position when trying to move around . perhaps if possibly have it on top with a swivel connector would be pretty ideal .. I wouldn’t suggest it for blowing out my gutter or washing my car .
