Zoom on the BE P2317EN

Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
The BE P2317EN's axial cam pump, powered by a 13-amp universal motor, can provide a pressure of up to 2300 PSI (approximately 38 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow 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. Thus, the BE P2317EN achieves a cleaning power of 1980 Cleaning Units.
The P2317EN easily starts up with the press of an ON/OFF switch, providing seamless operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
Emphasizing mobility as a core feature, the BE P2317EN boasts a portable design and approximate dimensions of L23 x W16 x H38 in. With its strong steel tubing frame, the assembly is built to last, providing stability and safeguarding internal components, even in challenging environments. The rubber-padded fixed handle adds to the P2317EN convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
This unit's low weight of 26.5 lbs ensures easy maneuverability, allowing you to tackle cleaning projects with minimal effort. Further enhancing its lightweight design, the unit features two 8" never-flat wheels, streamlining transportation and maneuverability.
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 features a dial to allow you to manually choose the detergent dilution ratio.
- Pressure hose: With a set of convenient hooks, the unit provides a convenient way to store the included 25 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose when not in use, keeping it organized and readily accessible.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: Review the table below to learn about the 5 included nozzles and the surfaces they're recommended for.

Other Features
The BE P2317EN
- Total Stop System (TSS): Featuring an automatic shut-off mechanism, this pressure washer stops running when the trigger is released, enhancing the pump's durability.
- 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 foam cannon (to add cleaning solutions to the water), nozzle cleaner, spray gun, pressure hose, power cord and wand.
