Description
Zoom on the AR Blue Clean BC2N1HSS
The AR Blue Clean BC2N1HSS is a medium duty pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:
- thorough cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces
- use of detergent and cleaning solutions
- intense cleaning of hard surfaces
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
The AR Blue Clean BC2N1HSS
With a 14.3 amp universal motor, its axial (wobble plate) pump delivers a pressure of 2300 PSI (roughly 38 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.7 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). 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, resulting in the AR Blue Clean BC2N1HSS's cleaning power of 1980 Cleaning Units.
The BC2N1HSS is an electric pressure washer and thus, can be easily started 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
The AR Blue Clean BC2N1HSS is very mobile, due to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of L22.5 x W17.8 x H36.5 in. Its sturdy metal frame provides longevity to the assembly. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the BC2N1HSS convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
The unit can be very easily carried around, as it weighs just 31.1 lbs. A set of two 7" never-flat wheels also improves the ease of transport of the device.
In addition to that, the unit can be detached from the frame to become a versatile hand-carry device that allows you to use it anywhere on-the-go.
Main Features
The AR Blue Clean BC2N1HSS
Along with the AR Blue Clean BC2N1HSS itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 3 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 wand. The foam cannon features a dial to allow you to manually choose the detergent dilution ratio.
- Pressure hose: The 25 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 enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.

Other Features
The AR Blue Clean BC2N1HSS
- Wall-mountable: The unit can be stored on the wall thanks to the AR2N1-WMKIT (opens in a new tab) wall mount kit (not included). This is a welcomed feature when we need a neater storage solution or to clean the same area regularly (garage, barn, workshop, storage room, etc.)
- Total Stop System (TSS): This feature automatically shuts off the pressure washer when the trigger is not engaged, to prolong the pump's lifespan.
- Onboard storage: With the AR Blue Clean BC2N1HSS's handy storage area, you’ll always have all the necessary nozzles and accessories at hand and thus, you’ll be fully prepared for any job.
- Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation).
- Accessories: The AR Blue Clean BC2N1HSS comes with an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and some basic documentation to get you quickly started. On top of that, you also get wand, foam cannon (to add cleaning solutions to the water), power cord, pressure hose and spray gun.

The AR Blue Clean BC2N1HSS's performance versus other pressure washers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the AR Blue Clean BC2N1HSS compare to similarly priced pressure washers.
- With a maximum pressure output of 2300 PSI, the AR Blue Clean BC2N1HSS finds itself in the expected pressure range among electric units that cost between $240 and $300. If you're going after the highest possible power of the water stream, one of the best in this price range is the Greenworks GPW3000 that can reach up to 3000 PSI.
- In the aforementioned price range, the 1.7 GPM (gallons per minute) of this washer makes it one of the better performing units in terms of the delivered volume of water. If you’re after the highest rinsing efficiency, one of the units with the highest water flow in the current price range is the Greenworks GPW2700, that can deliver up to 2.3 GPM.
- With 1980 Cleaning Units, the BC2N1HSS is on the low end when compared to other similarly priced electric devices. If you consider the highest overall cleaning power as a really important factor, the Greenworks GPW3000 and its 3300 Cleaning Units has one of the highest cleaning efficiency of all the similarly priced units.
