Description

The user-friendly BC142HS is perfect for the casual user in need of a pressure washer to occasionally clean surfaces such as bicycles, outdoor furniture, and vehicles.

Zoom on the AR Blue Clean BC142HS

The AR Blue Clean BC142HS is a light duty pressure washer, and enables:

  • complete cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface prep for painting
  • applying detergents or chemicals, and rinsing surfaces afterward

Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.

Power

The AR Blue Clean BC142HS in use

The AR Blue Clean BC142HS

Fueled by a 11-amp universal motor, its aluminum axial (wobble plate) pump can generate a forceful pressure of 1700 PSI (roughly 28 times that of a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 1.7 GPM (values as per CSA testing standards). While these PSI and GPM values represent the maximum capabilities of the washer under specific conditions, it's important to note that under typical usage, the working pressure is 1300 PSI and the flow rate is 1.1 GPM. When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 1430 Cleaning Units.

Being an electric unit, the BC142HS easily starts up with the press of an ON/OFF switch, providing seamless operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included GFCI cord.

Design & Handling

Emphasizing mobility as a core feature, the AR Blue Clean BC142HS boasts a portable design and approximate dimensions of D12 x W13 x H29 in. The handle adds to the BC142HS convenience of transport.

With its featherlight weight of 16.1 lbs, this unit offers unparalleled ease of transport and handling. Partly owing to its plastic frame, it maintains its lightweight construction. Further enhancing its lightweight design, the unit features two 4.7" never-flat wheels, streamlining transportation and maneuverability.
