Zoom on the Black+Decker BEPW1600
In a nutshell, the Black+Decker BEPW1600 is a light duty pressure washer that allows:
- mild cleaning for delicate surfaces, and low-pressure cleaning for broader areas
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, and removing stubborn stains
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
Using a 13-amp universal motor, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of up to 1600 PSI (roughly 27 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.2 GPM (CETA-certified values). When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 1920 Cleaning Units.
The BEPW1600'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
The Black+Decker BEPW1600's commitment to mobility is evident through its portable design and approximate dimensions of L14.4 x W10 x H11 in. The handle adds to the BEPW1600 convenience of transport.
With its featherlight weight of 17.4 lbs, this unit offers unparalleled ease of transport and handling. Its lightweight construction is partially attributed to its plastic frame.
