Zoom on the BE P2317EN
The BE P2317EN, a medium duty pressure washer, gives its user an all-around versatile cleaning experience, topped off by the following features:
- pinpoint spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, accessing high areas, and successfully removing stubborn stains
- broad cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface preparation for painting
- gentle cleaning of delicate surfaces, and low pressure cleaning of larger areas
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
Powered by a 13-amp universal motor, its axial cam pump can generate a forceful pressure of 2300 PSI (roughly 38 times 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 1800 PSI and the flow rate is 1.1 GPM. When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 1980 Cleaning Units.
The P2317EN is easily activated by an ON/OFF switch, offering convenient operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
Prioritizing ease of transportation, the BE P2317EN incorporates a portable design and approximate dimensions of L23 x W16 x H38 in. The robust steel tubing frame guarantees longevity of the assembly, providing stability and protection for internal components, even under demanding working conditions. The rubber-padded fixed handle adds to the P2317EN convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
At just 26.5 lbs, this unit is incredibly lightweight, ensuring hassle-free mobility wherever you need it. Enhancing its already lightweight design, the unit boasts two 8" never-flat wheels, making transportation effortless.
Main Features
The BE P2317EN comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent addition feature, which are detailed 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 is equipped with a dial, enabling you to manually adjust the detergent dilution ratio.
- Pressure hose: For easy organization, the included 25 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose can be stored on the unit using a set of convenient hooks when it's not in use, ensuring a clutter-free workspace.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: The table below shows you the 5 included nozzles and the surfaces they're the most appropriate for.

Other Features
The BE P2317EN
- 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: The BE P2317EN features a handy storage tray, which allows you to neatly store all its nozzles. The storage solution offered by this model is quite singular, as it allows storing the nozzles directly on the gun, instead of on the unit.
- Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation).
- Accessories: The BE P2317EN 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 nozzle cleaner, pressure hose, foam cannon (to add cleaning solutions to the water), power cord, wand and spray gun.
The BE P2317EN's performance versus other pressure washers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the BE P2317EN compare to similarly priced pressure washers.
- The BE P2317EN, boasting 2300 PSI, achieves a lower pressure compared to other electric pressure washers in the $300-400 price bracket. For those prioritizing maximum water stream power, consider the Westinghouse WPX3400e, boasting 3400 PSI, as a standout performer in this price range.
- Boasting a water flow of up to 1.7 GPM, this washer occupies the higher ranks of the price range mentioned above, ensuring a substantial water volume. If being able to rinse away debris as efficiently as possible is your priority, one of the products with the highest GPM in this price range is the Greenworks GPW2700, with 2.3 GPM.
- With 1980 Cleaning Units, the P2317EN is on the low end when compared to other similarly priced electric devices. If prioritizing the highest overall cleaning power, the BE P2314EN with its 3910 Cleaning Units may stand out for its exceptional cleaning efficiency among similarly priced units.
