Power
The AR Blue Clean BC383HS
With a 13-amp universal motor powering it, the aluminum axial (wobble plate) pump of this unit is capable of achieving a pressure of 2000 PSI (approximately 33 times greater than that of a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 1.7 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). 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 1600 PSI and the flow rate is 1.1 GPM. Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 1760 Cleaning Units.
The BC383HS's motor is effortlessly activated with a simple ON/OFF switch, ensuring convenient operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
With a portable design and approximate dimensions of D15 x W14.5 x H32.5 in, the AR Blue Clean BC383HS stands out for its focus on mobility. The telescopic handle further eases storage and offers a convenient pulling height, allowing effortless transportation.
At just 21.8 lbs, this unit is incredibly lightweight, ensuring hassle-free mobility wherever you need it. Partly owing to its plastic frame, it maintains its lightweight construction. Adding to its lightweight construction, two 6.3" never-flat wheels are included, simplifying mobility and transport.
