Power
The Sun Joe SPX2700-MAX's axial pump, powered by a 13 amp universal motor, can provide a pressure of up to 2100 PSI (approximately 35 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.65 GPM (values as per CSA testing standards).

The Sun Joe SPX2700-MAX thus has 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.
