Titan Tool 0580009 ControlMax 1700 High Efficiency Airless Paint Sprayer Review

Introduction

The Titan ControlMax 1700 is designed for DIYers and homeowners who want professional-looking results without hiring a painter. Using HEA (High Efficiency Airless) technology, it promises to cut overspray by up to 55% and deliver a softer, more even spray pattern. It’s built for medium-to-large projects like fences, decks, walls, and furniture, aiming to save time while providing a high-quality finish.

Key Features

  • HEA Technology – Reduces overspray significantly while giving more control over the spray pattern.
  • Durable Pump – A 0.6 HP motor designed to last longer than standard airless sprayers, with a rebuildable fluid section for extended life.
  • Strong Performance – Sprays at a maximum of 1500 PSI, supports up to a 0.017″ tip, and has a flow rate of 0.33 gallons per minute.
  • Convenient Hose Length – Includes a 50-foot hose for better reach without constantly moving the sprayer.
  • Direct From Can – Can spray directly from 1- or 5-gallon paint containers for less mess and quicker setup.
  • User-Friendly Design – Integrated storage for tips and accessories, plus a priming system to get started faster.

Conclusion

The Titan ControlMax 1700 does an excellent job balancing power, control, and ease of use for home projects. The HEA technology really does help reduce overspray, which means less wasted paint and less cleanup around your work area. Spray quality is smooth and consistent, making it great for large, flat surfaces or projects with repetitive patterns. However, it’s not perfect. Cleanup can be a bit time-consuming, and tip clogging can happen if paint isn’t properly strained. It’s also heavier and louder than some smaller models, so it’s not the most portable option. For homeowners tackling multiple projects a year, it’s a strong investment. For daily professional use, you might need something built for heavier workloads.
