BE Pressure 4000 PSI Whirl-A-Way Surface Cleaner Size: 20"

Item arrived as should seller stands behind his customer service. Would buy from American airless again.

Great sellers who answer the phone! They had to work out FedX shipping (I despise FedX) due to signature required. I would not have shipped it to my house since I work for a living if I knew in advance that they required a signature. The seller worked it out and the machine works great, will do business with again!

I have a 15' x 50' paver block patio and walkway that requires powerwashing once a year to keep mold, mildew, moss and staining at bay. Cleaning that many paver blocks with a powerwasher wand and 10 dgree nozzle spray tip, while effective, takes many, many hours. My Karcher powerwasher generates 2400PSI. I was concerned that it would not be sufficient to operate this surface cleaner. My fears were unfounded. The unit works perfectly at this pressure, even though it is designed for up to 4000 PSI. At the higher 4000 PSI pressure, I coud see the unit rising off the surface because of the downward force, but at 2400, the weight of the head keeps it nicely on the surface and it moves easily from side to side. As other reviewers have stated, the unit needs to be moved slowly to get the most effective cleaning action. There are several plusses to this sweeper: 1) It keeps the water spray contained within the housing so you and surrounding areas (i.e., walls & buildings) are not plastered with reflecting detritus. 2) Saves time and water - all of the water spray is being directed toward cleaning and a 20" swatch is cleaned with each pass. Once you get the right movement rhythm, it is possible to make a single pass over a 20" swath. 3) The handle is long which means you save your back by not having to lean over as you work. 4) The dual handle make for a comfortable working position as you no longer need to keep switching hands as with a powerwasher wand.I observed a couple of minor weaknesses: 1) There is no detent to hold the handle in a vertical position. When you put the handle down, it must be placed against a vertical surface or on the ground. 2) A stream of water is constantly running from under the head in all directions. This makes it more difficult to direct the dirty water in a single direction, like forward and away from the cleaned area. 3) The center shaft has a bearing with grease nipple and requires periodic replenishing with a grease gun.If you have large areas to clean, this unit is a real time saver and worth the investment cost.

Great quality. Heavy duty workhorse. Very happy with this addition

I’ve had for over 2 years now, not a problem on a 4 gpm machine, not a problem on a 5.5 gpm machine either.

Had it for a good while before writng review. The washer does a great job. This one like other cleaners are not speed cleaners. You have to take your time and allow them to clean with a slow-steady pass. Very satisfied with outcome.

I’m using this as a homeowner cleaning a barrel tile roof and paver driveway with a 4200psi 4gpm pressure washer. I purchased this version without wheels to allow for the cleaning of mold off of the highly irregular surface of a barrel tile roof. It moved very easily over the irregular surface and did a good job of cleaning moderate levels of mold. However on heavily molded areas it would clean off the mold but only after too many repeated passes, in which case it became more time effective to use a wand.On the paver driveway it moved across the surface as easily as if it were on wheels. It cleaned very well and prevented the sand between the pavers from blowing out all over the place.It’s made very well and the angled handles were very comfortable to use for long periods of time. I feel you would have to use at least a 4000psi 4gpm+ pressure washer to make this unit effective without having to go over and over the same area in many cases. This is not a knock on the unit, it performs very well. I’m making the assumption it is on the large size for a homeowner surface cleaner and most users with smaller pressure washers would likely need to use a smaller size surface cleaner.

Have used on many commercial and residential jobs and it’s still in great shape a year later. BE is definitely a brand you don’t have to worry about. Many worry about the trigger breaking where it’s clasped onto the metal shaft but as long as you take care of it you won’t have that problem. Besides bigger tips everything is still original and in good working order.
