Power
The AR Blue Clean BC2N1HSS
Powered by a 14.3 amp universal motor, its axial (wobble plate) pump can deliver a pressure of 2300 PSI (around 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. Combined, these values mean that the AR Blue Clean BC2N1HSS has a 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 offers superb mobility, with a hand truck design and approximate dimensions of L22.5 x W17.8 x H36.5 in. The strong metal frame assures assembly longevity. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the BC2N1HSS convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
Since the unit weighs only 31.1 lbs, it is very easily carried around. To further improve its transportability and ease of use, the unit also features a set of two 7" never-flat wheels.
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.
