Description
Zoom on the Black+Decker BEPW1850
In a nutshell, the Black+Decker BEPW1850 is a light duty pressure washer that allows:
- intense cleaning of tough, paintless surfaces
- cleaning of painted and frail surfaces
- application of detergent and cleaning solutions
- intense cleaning of hard surfaces
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
The Black+Decker BEPW1850
With a 13 amp universal motor, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of 1850 PSI (roughly 31 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.2 GPM (CETA-certified values), resulting in the Black+Decker BEPW1850's cleaning power of 2220 Cleaning Units.
Since it is an electric pressure washer, the motor of the BEPW1850 is started simply by an ON/OFF switch. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
With its portable design and approximate dimensions of D11 x W11.9 x H24.1 in, the Black+Decker BEPW1850 makes mobility one of its core strengths. The telescopic handle further eases storage and offers a convenient pulling height, allowing effortless transportation.
Standing at only 22 lbs, this model can be carried around very easily. Its plastic frame certainly plays a key role in this light weight. On top of its light weight, the transportability and ease of use of this model is further improved by the addition of two 6" never-flat wheels.
