Despite its power, this generator was built with portability in mind. Weighing in at 207 lbs, the BE12500T is no lightweight—but heavy-duty flat-free tires and folding handles make it surprisingly easy to transport across rough terrain, driveways, or tight storage spaces. Whether it’s moving it from the garage to the backyard or hauling it to a remote location, this generator rolls with ease and stores neatly when not in use.

All-Weather Dependability

When disaster strikes or deadlines loom, you can’t afford to let weather slow you down. That’s why the BE12500T includes weather-protected outlets that keep your connections safe from rain, snow, and debris. You get reliable power access in even the harshest conditions, perfect for emergency response, outdoor events, or demanding industrial settings.

For working into the evening or during stormy conditions, an integrated LED floodlight delivers high-visibility illumination exactly where you need it—whether you're connecting tools, adjusting settings, or checking fuel lines after dark.

Cold Weather and Safety Innovations

Operating in winter? No problem. This generator is equipped with Sub-Zero technology, engineered to start reliably even in sub-freezing temperatures. While lesser units may sputter or fail entirely, the BE12500T continues to perform, thanks to features that keep fuel flowing and components functioning in the cold.

Perhaps most importantly, the generator comes with an automatic CO (carbon monoxide) detection system, which constantly monitors surrounding air quality. If unsafe CO levels are detected, the system shuts down the unit immediately—helping to prevent potential poisoning in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. It’s a vital feature for indoor-adjacent use, RVs, garages, and temporary shelters.

Factory-Tested, Fully Compliant

Every BE Power Equipment generator is factory-tested before it reaches your door. That means you may notice some residual oil or fuel odor, a sign that your unit was quality-tested for real-world reliability. It’s also EPA and CARB compliant, making it suitable for use across North America with confidence in its environmental performance.

And while photos represent the expected product, actual units may vary slightly—especially as our engineering team continues to refine and improve product features to deliver the best performance possible.

Frequently Asked Questions about Generators

How to store a pressure washer?

To ensure the durability of your heavy duty pressure washer:

  • Empty the gas tank to prevent fuel from degrading or clogging the engine.
  • Empty the pump and hoses of any remaining water.
  • Perform necessary maintenance before storage.
  • Store in a dry area.
  • Cover.

What is a pressure washer?

A power washer is a cleaning machine that uses a gasoline engine to power a high pressure water pump and nozzle. It’s used to clean driveways, decks, vehicles, outdoor furniture and more by spraying water at high PSI to remove dirt, grime, mold and other debris.Many models also come with a detergent tank for added cleaning power.

How does a power washer work?

A power washer works by drawing water from a connected hose and pumping it through a high pressure nozzle. The gas engine powers the pump which pressurizes the water and then expels it through the nozzle at high speed to clean the surface. The water pressure is measured in PSI (pounds per square inch) and the flow rate is measured in GPM (gallons per minute).Many models also feature adjustable water pressure settings to cater to different cleaning needs. BE makes pressure washing easy with models available for light jobs and heavy duty commercial cleaning projects.

Gas vs Electric power washers?

The main difference is that a gas pressure washer, known for its cleaning power, is powered by a gasoline engine, making it more powerful and portable, while an electric pressure washer is powered by electricity and is generally quieter and lighter.

Gas pressure washers are for heavy duty and large areas due to their durability, whereas electric pressure washers are for smaller jobs.

Your BE electric pressure washer is perfect for smaller jobs and built for portability, and we offer a wide range of electric models. Included with our electric models is a long extension cord for use anywhere around your house.

What to consider?

When choosing a gas pressure washer consider:

  • Pressure (PSI): More PSI means more cleaning power but also more potential for damaging delicate surfaces.
  • Flow Rate (GPM): More GPM means faster cleaning as more water is dispensed.
  • Engine Power: Bigger engines mean more durability and power.
  • Portability: Weight, handle design and wheel size for easier to move.
  • Nozzles: Multiple spray nozzles to adjust the spray pattern for different tasks.
  • Adjustable Nozzle: Allows for fine-tuning the spray intensity and pattern for various cleaning needs.

How much pressure do I need for?

The required pressure (PSI) and cleaning power depend on the surface you’re cleaning:

  • Light duty (car washing, outdoor furniture): 1,300-1,800 PSI.
  • Medium duty (patios, fences, decks): 2,000-3,000 PSI.
  • Heavy duty (driveways, brick walls, large equipment): 3,000+ PSI.

Many pressure washers come with adjustable pressure settings to handle different cleaning tasks effectively.

Can a pressure washing damage surfaces?

Yes, a power washer can damage surfaces if used incorrectly. High pressure water can strip paint, dent soft surfaces or even cause structural damage if the pressure is too high or the nozzle is held too close to the surface. Always use the right PSI for the material you’re cleaning and keep a safe distance from delicate surfaces.

To prevent damage, consider using a model with adjustable pressure settings.

How to maintain your pressure washer?

To ensure the durability and smooth operation of a pressure washer:

  • Change the oil as per manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Clean or replace the air filter to ensure good airflow.
  • Inspect and clean the nozzle regularly to prevent clogs.
  • Drain the gas tank if you’re storing the washer for a long time.
  • Check the hoses for leaks or damage and replace them if needed.
  • Follow regular maintenance requirements to keep the washer in optimal condition.

Can I use a pressure washer in cold weather and low water temperature?

You can use a pressure washer in cold weather but it’s more difficult. The water flow rate in the hoses and pump can freeze and damage the equipment. If you plan to use your pressure washer in cold temperatures make sure to winterize it and store it in a warm area when not in use. You can also use anti-freeze solutions for pressure washers.

Some models are designed to use hot water, which can be particularly effective for cleaning in cold weather.
