The Black+Decker BEPW1850 is a light duty pressure washer, and enables:
- intense cleaning of tough, paintless surfaces

The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics and design, its main features and all the additional features it has to offer.
Power
The Black+Decker BEPW1850
The Black+Decker BEPW1850's axial cam pump, powered by a 13 amp universal motor, can provide a pressure of up to 1850 PSI (approximately 31 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.2 GPM (CETA-certified values). The Black+Decker BEPW1850 thus has a cleaning power of 2220 Cleaning Units.
As it is an electric pressure washer, the motor of the BEPW1850 gets easily started by a simple 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. It is lightweight, partly thanks to its plastic frame. As if this lightweight wasn't enough, the device also features two 6" never-flat wheels to further improve its ease of use and of transport.
