Lightweight, efficient, and easy to store, it’s the perfect electric pressure washer for homeowners who want pro-grade results without gas, fumes, or maintenance headaches.
Zoom on the BE P2317EN
The BE P2317EN is a medium duty pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:
- focused spot cleaning on hard, unpainted surfaces, accessing high spots, and efficiently eliminating stubborn stains
- overall cleaning of hard surfaces, washing vehicles, and prepping surfaces for painting
- delicate surface cleaning, andbroad area cleaning with reduced pressure
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
With a 13-amp universal motor powering it, the axial cam pump of this unit is capable of achieving a pressure of 2300 PSI (approximately 38 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 1800 PSI and the flow rate is 1.1 GPM. Corresponding to these values is 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
Emphasizing mobility as a core feature, the BE P2317EN boasts a portable design and approximate dimensions of L23 x W16 x H38 in. The durable steel tubing frame of the assembly ensures its longevity, providing stability and shielding internal components from damage, even in tough conditions. The rubber-padded fixed handle adds to the P2317EN convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
This unit's weight of 26.5 lbs makes it a breeze to carry around, perfect for on-the-go cleaning tasks. As if its lightweight construction wasn't convenient enough, the unit is equipped with two 8" never-flat wheels, adding further ease to its transportation and maneuverability.
Main Features
The BE P2317EN's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent addition feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap addition: Detergent is added to the water at the exit, by attaching the included foam cannon to the end of the wand. Featuring a dial, the foam cannon allows for manual adjustment of 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: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzles: The following table provides information on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface uses.
0° | 15° | 25° | 40° | Turbo | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete, brick, masonry | |||||
| Siding, gutters, house | |||||
| Fencing, deck, patio | |||||
| Lawn equipment, boat, RV |
Important note: The shapes of the depicted nozzles serve for illustration purposes only and may vary. Symbols used include a for 'Not recommended,' a for 'Suitable,' and an for 'Use with caution.'
Other Features
- Total Stop System (TSS): This function automatically stops the pressure washer when the trigger is released, prolonging 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: Included with the BE P2317EN are also the owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and some basic documentation to get you promptly started, along with several accessories, such as pressure hose, nozzle cleaner, spray gun, foam cannon (to add cleaning solutions to the water), wand and power cord.
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.
- Among electric-powered pressure washers priced between $300 and $400, the BE P2317EN with 2300 PSI achieves a lower pressure. If the highest possible power of the water stream is your priority, one of the champions in this price range is the Westinghouse WPX3400e with 3400 PSI.
- The water flow of this washer, which reaches up to 1.7 GPM (gallons per minute) is one of the higher values found in the above-mentioned price range. If your priority is efficient debris removal, consider one of the products with the highest GPM in this price range, such as the Greenworks GPW2702A, boasting 2.3 GPM.
- Boasting 1980 Cleaning Units , the P2317EN places on the lower end of the spectrum in terms of cleaning power compared to other electric devices in this price range. For those placing importance on maximum cleaning power, the BE P2314EN and its 3910 Cleaning Units offer one of the highest cleaning efficiencies among units in the same price range.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other electric washers between 1500 and 2000 Cleaning Units, the BE P2317EN is on the expensive side of the price range.
While certainly not the cheapest of its cleaning power range, purchasing it could most likely also mean enjoying the reliability of a high-end product.
The bottom line
- 5 year (limited) warranty (after registration)
- Portable
- Good range of nozzles included
- Onboard storage
- High GPM for the price
- On the expensive side
- Low PSI for the price
- Low CU for the price
