Description
Zoom on the Realm BY02-BIMK
The Realm BY02-BIMK is a medium duty pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces and high-reach cleaning
- thorough cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces
- cleaning of painted or delicate surfaces
- application of detergent and cleaning solutions
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 Realm BY02-BIMK
The Realm BY02-BIMK's axial pump, powered by a 14.5 amp 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 claimed by the manufacturer). The Realm BY02-BIMK thus has a cleaning power of 4550 Cleaning Units.
As it is an electric pressure washer, the motor of the BY02-BIMK 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 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.
Most users can maneuver this model easily, as it weighs just 55 lbs. As its motor accounts for a good portion of that weight, Realm's choice of a plastic frame allows the device to stay at a reasonable weight. Since the BY02-BIMK has a set of two 6" solid wheels, it is still easily maneuvered and manipulated.
Main Features
The Realm BY02-BIMK
The Realm BY02-BIMK comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: A safe detergent storage is facilitated by a removable 0.2 gal tank. If a soap nozzle is attached, the device will proceed to add the detergent to the water automatically.
- Pressure hose: The 19 ft high-pressure hose, which is included with the device, can be stored neatly on the unit itself when idle, using a set of convenient hooks.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzles: The following table illustrates the 5 included nozzles, along with the surfaces which they are the most suitable for.
