Description

The user-friendly BC383HS is perfect for the do-it-yourself user in need of a pressure washer to occasionally clean stubborn surfaces such as decks, tools, and vehicles.

Zoom on the AR Blue Clean BC383HS

The AR Blue Clean BC383HS is a medium duty pressure washer, and enables:

  • intense cleaning of tough, paintless surfaces
  • application of detergent and cleaning solutions
  • intense cleaning of hard surfaces

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

Power

The AR Blue Clean BC383HS in use

The AR Blue Clean BC383HS

With a 13 amp universal motor, its aluminum axial (wobble plate) pump delivers a pressure of 2000 PSI (roughly 33 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 1600 PSI and rated flow is 1.1 GPM, resulting in the AR Blue Clean BC383HS's cleaning power of 1760 Cleaning Units.

Being an electric pressure washer, the AR Blue Clean BC383HS's motor can be easily started by a convenient 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 and approximate dimensions of D15 x W14.5 x H32.5 in, the AR Blue Clean BC383HS makes mobility one of its core strengths. The telescopic handle further eases storage and offers a convenient pulling height, allowing effortless transportation.

Since the unit weighs only 21.8 lbs, it is very easily carried around. Its plastic frame certainly plays a key role in this light weight. To further improve its transportability and ease of use, the unit also features a set of two 6.3" never-flat wheels.

Main Features

The AR Blue Clean BC383HS

Along with the AR Blue Clean BC383HS itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 2 nozzles and a detergent addition feature, which are discussed in further detail below.

  • Pressure hose: A neat storage for the included 20 ft high-pressure hose is facilitated by 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.
  • Nozzles: The table below shows you the 2 included nozzles, as well as the surfaces they're the most appropriate for.
