Power
The Realm BY02-BIMK
The Realm BY02-BIMK's axial pump, powered by a 14.5 amp induction motor, can provide a pressure of up to 2600 PSI (approximately 43 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.75 GPM (values as per CSA testing standards). The Realm BY02-BIMK thus has a cleaning power of 4550 Cleaning Units.
Being an electric pressure washer, the Realm BY02-BIMK's motor can be easily started by a convenient 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 D18 x W16 x H26 in, the Realm BY02-BIMK makes mobility one of its core strengths. The handle adds to the BY02-BIMK convenience of transport.
The majority of users will be able to maneuver this unit easily, it only weighs 55 lbs. Since the motor accounts for a large part of its weight, Realm's utilization of a plastic frame keeps the unit at a reasonable weight. The BY02-BIMK can still be easily manipulated and maneuvered, thanks to its two 6" solid wheels.
