Zoom on the Black+Decker BEPW2000
In a nutshell, the Black+Decker BEPW2000 is a medium duty pressure washer that allows:
- thorough cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces
- cleaning of painted or delicate surfaces
- use of detergent and cleaning solutions
- intense cleaning of hard surfaces
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
Powered by a 13 amp universal motor, its axial cam pump can deliver a pressure of 2000 PSI (around 33 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.2 GPM (CETA-certified values). Combined, these values mean that the Black+Decker BEPW2000 has a cleaning power of 2400 Cleaning Units.
The BEPW2000 is an electric pressure washer and thus, can be easily started 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 H25.2 in, the Black+Decker BEPW2000 makes mobility one of its core strengths. The telescopic handle further eases storage and offers a convenient pulling height, allowing effortless transportation.
The unit can be very easily carried around, as it weighs just 22.7 lbs. This is, in part, thanks to its plastic frame, which allows it to remain as lightweight as possible. A set of two 6" never-flat wheels also improves the ease of transport of the device.
