  1. About The Details

    Easy to assemble and works as expected
    Karcher K1700 pressure washer: Assembly is very easy — wheels and handle. If you just use the supplied hose then screw it on to the outlet and onto the spray nozzle. Screw the garden hose adapter on and screw a garden hose on. Plug it in and it should work, mine did.I bought a Karcher because a review by Pan the Organizer who said his Karcher K5 lasted 10 years and still works but it was time to get a new pressure washer. As I recall he thought Karcher had a superior pump. I watched a couple reviews of the K-1700 as well. So, as I had no idea and the K-1700 seemed what I was looking for, I bought it. I have light work — a small cement patio, some siding and vehicles. Note that the high-pressure fittings are M22-14 not M22-15 as many electric pressure washers use so I ended up ordering another set. I knew the foam cannon used M22-14 when I bought it. I didn’t see any reference to the fittings in the Karcher manual or brochure. I did see that some Karcher products fit the K2 or K5 but not the K-1700 but was left to assume why. I guess Karcher wants us to buy their brand.I added some quick disconnect fittings. I had a leak on the appliance end of the pressure hose. It seemed the o-ring on the hose is too large and was pushed down when I inserted/screwed the quick disconnect on. I took an o-ring off another fitting and the same thing happened. I then added a garden hose washer to the supplied pressure hose fitting after cutting it down so it fit and replaced the o-ring with a piece of Teflon packing “string” which fit into the o-ring groove perfectly. I used silicon grease to get it to stay put. No leaks. I was testing with a car wash foam cannon which worked very well and produced a persistent snow foam coating.The pressure hose went onto the pressure washer without any leaks. The garden hose adapter leaked some, but I didn’t tighten with a wrench which I’ll do next time.I ordered another quick connect set for the high pressure fitting on the K-1700 and a couple different sets of o-rings to have on-hand.The electric cord wraps nicely on the supplied handle arms.CONS:1. Nozzle storage is limited to two regular nozzles and one hybrid rotating type nozzle (as supplied). So, I don’t have a place to put other nozzles except in a bag in the storage box.2. No built-in good way to keep the supplied pressure hose coiled neatly on the unit. The hose is a little stiff and making it fit in the storage box may not work well or conveniently and being slick plastic will likely push out.I added a piece of PVC pipe that went through the handle and that keeps the pressure hose coiled up around the handle and the storage bin. I’ll fit it with some closed cell foam to keep it in place as I want to be able to remove it.My initial impression is that I think the supplied hose will work for me but time will tell if a longer, more flexible hose will be needed. The K1700 seems like a good unit overall particularly for the price. I cannot see paying lots for something I don’t expect to use that often.Winter storage: per the manual, be sure to run it out of water. It seems that water runs out when I tilt it to the inlet fitting but the manual said to run it until just out of water. I think I can handle that.

    Nice
    Nice product. Works well for general house work type stuff. This would not be one for cleaning concrete perfectly or major projects. The force is not too strong and would be good for someone with less strength in their hands or someone who doesn’t want to be fatigued like other machines can cause. I like the GFI cord, which is long enough but the pressure hose could be longer. Overall, I think this is good for what we need (cleaning siding, cars, deck, etc). This would also be a good option for a smaller person or DIY female who doesn’t want to lug a heavy machine around. I made a video which I will attach so hopefully it helps someone make a decision.

    Worth the money spent
    Great product, everything works perfectly as was described

  4. Brett Burns

    Powerful lil washer!
    Very easy to assemble. No tools required. Power was great for a lightweight washer. Cleans great. Noise level low. I did have to re-tighten the water hose hook up due to leaking. Not leaking now. Read this on another review. Only used a little to make sure all was good. Register for the 3 year limited warranty.

  5. Commodity Junkie

    Worth it
    When on sale, this washer punches well above its weight. Competent build quality, with ease of assembly, it works well for most tasks. (Though I haven’t had to challenge it to maximum performance.) The power cable and hose are lengthy enough for what’s demanded of it. And the 3-year warranty is quite generous.My only gripe is that the inlet fitting for the garden hose has too few threads. It leaks constantly. But I can live with that.

  6. Avtomat Kalashni

    Lasted 6 months…2 uses
    Mine was good for 2 uses…washed my truck and then the carport.Went to use it today and it was dead. Took it apart to see what happened and the valve that opens to activate a pressure switch to let pump turn on was corroded not letting valve open.Many of the internal passageways were corroded after only using this twice and having it for 6 months…..cheap grade aluminum is used. My 1st harbor freight washer lasted me 8 years the next one only 4…but 6 months is just ridiculous!I will not buy this again just for the fact it is corroded after 6 months. I have many other things that use the same water and they are okay.Hi, i’m I did drain the water the best I could for the winter time… And this I did stay in my heated shop ( never drops below freezing)…. This is just a little bit of water that stays in the valves.That you can’t drain out.

    Excellent pressure washer
    Great pressure washer. I bought it almost a year ago, and it works perfectly. We use it for washing the cars, and it never disappoints.

  8. Scifi Reader

    Garbage – Doesn’t turn on.
    Garbage. Didn’t even work once! Should be Zero stars. I can’t return it since I don’t have the box anymore. The motor does not turn on. It is not the GFI nor is it overheating. I don’t know how it could over heat since it never turned on in the first place. Complete waste of money.***UPDATE*** Upgraded to 3 stars from one. I found that the electric connector plug does not make good contact with the outlet. Once I added an three prong adapter or an extension cord, the washer worked. The reason for the 3 stars is that this is barely better than a standard hose with a nozzle. This unit will work well for washing your car and very light work, but it does not have the pressure to be able to do anything else.

  12. Gus C.

    Exelente hidrolavadora, pequeña y ligera pero muy potente, llevo una semana utilizandola, para lavar Cisternas de agua.Sin duda la volvería a comprar!!!

  13. SENTINEL*DX

    Excelente equipo de muy buena potencia, fácil de usar y buena la calidad de materiales ! Solo revisar la palanca accionadora de arranque en la pistola muy dura y le falta un seguro eficiente para no estar apretando todo el tiempo !
