The K1700 is great for LIGHT duty, as its not built for heavy duty applications. I needed a light duty machine for general cleaning & car washing. Using my 4000psi machine is too much for light jobs, even when throttling the engine down to an idle. I haven't had an issue with the wand or hose & if I do, they are easily replaceable; available from a well known tool supplier (no, not that freight place but the North place). The hose & gun are fitted w/M22 fittings and replacement/additional are widely available. I've used my 50ft hose w/o problems. Haven't tried the 100ft but I'm sure it'll work just fine. M22 couplers are also an option, it mates two hoses together for even added distance w/o having to buy an expensive 100ft hose. On a side note (an example of durability), I have a Karcher 2400psi gun that I've had for over 15yrs that I use on my 4000psi machine and it handles the pressure w/o issues. I've worn out many nozzles on that gun, so I would say the gun is close to being bullet-proof. The Karcher machine that it went to died (the pump froze one winter), so I rebuilt the cart into a CAT4000psi, 20hp Honda gas powered beast.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to set up and use. The unit is fairly quiet when running. It was a pretty long power cable and the hose is decent length but could be longer. I may buy a longer hose for it. Over it’s getting the job done.

I've now had the chance to use this to clean the bugs off my car several times, living on back country roads one gets a lot. The size an light weight make for easy use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am blown away by this pressure washer. It is intense and easy to use. Portable to move easily to do all nooks and is versatile. Low maintenance and durable to withhold all extra water spraying

Works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a little hesitant about this power washer at first because I have one and I don’t like it one bit. But this one is “wow”. I love the different nozzle options. It was strong enough to make my sidewalk look cleaner. This was also fairly easy to put together. The only problem I have is the water leaking where the hose connects to the machine.

Works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The K1700 pressure washer was easy to set up and get started washing. It took roughly 5 minutes to set up and required no tools.. which I thought was pretty cool. It is lightweight and easy to pick up or roll around being only 20 pounds. The machine itself seems durable and made well. I used the turbo nozzle to clean the siding of my home which was pretty bad and it worked very well. I used another nozzle to clean my car which made car washing fun and much faster. When it was time to put away.. I liked that the hose can be wrapped up nicely and kept inside the storage bin along with all the other accessories so everything can be all in one place. The porch and driveway are next on my to do list!
