Description
Zoom on the Sun Joe SPX2700-MAX
The Sun Joe SPX2700-MAX is a medium duty pressure washer, and enables:
- spot cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces and out-of-reach areas
- thorough cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces
- cleaning of painted and frail surfaces
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
Using a 13 amp universal motor, its axial pump delivers a pressure of up to 2100 PSI (roughly 35 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 1800 PSI and rated flow is 1.1 GPM. Together, the values result in a cleaning power of 1980 Cleaning Units.
As it is an electric pressure washer, the motor of the SPX2700-MAX gets easily started by a simple 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 SPX2700-MAX makes mobility one of its core strengths. The handle adds to the SPX2700-MAX convenience of transport.
With a weight of only 17 lbs, the unit is definitely easy to carry around. This is, in part, thanks to its plastic frame, which allows it to remain as lightweight as possible. Even though the SPX2700-MAX doesn’t have any wheels, their absence is fully compensated by this light weight.
Main Features
Along with the Sun Joe SPX2700-MAX itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent addition feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap addition: Detergent is added to the water at the exit, by attaching the included foam cannon to the end of the gun. The foam cannon features a dial to allow you to manually choose the detergent dilution ratio.
- Pressure hose: The 20 ft high-pressure hose, which is included with the device, can be stored neatly on the unit itself when idle, using a set of convenient hooks.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzles: The 4 nozzles included with the device, and the respective surfaces which they’re the most suitable for, are shown in the following table.
0° | 15° | 40° | Turbo | |
