I bought this 2 years ago. I have not used it even a handful of times because we have a bigger one. I went to use it yesterday and it would not do anything. It was like everything was dead on it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased this about a month ago and I have used it over a dozen times detailing cars. I also have a K1900 the 1700 was purchased as my back up. I go between both machines for each detail. Only problem is I need to buy 2.0 Tips so that they all will work with both PW.

I bought this product based off of a video about it I saw on youtube and I think that it is a great product for the price. There is an outlet on the handle of it which you can plug accessories into. I would recommend it.
Gun adapter leaking only warranty 90 days not 3yrs

Only 13 months into this 3 year warranted pressure washer and the gun adapter leaks rendering the machine useless... called support and they only guarantee the gun for 90 days??????? You need the gun for the machine to work so why only 90 days and not 3 years like the box said??????? Very frustrating!!!!!!!
Bought the unit used it 1 time for roughly 35 minutes. Pulled it out to use again water randomly spraying out of the end of the wand, no pressure. I am assuming it's a o-ring that is missing from the tip insert area on illustration 9. 2 emails with and 5 phone calls and 30 plus minutes of hold time later I still do not have a resolution.
I bought this from an authorized third party seller and wanted it to work so bad but it just doesn't give consistent pressure. Im not sure if it is the pressure out of the house that isn't supplying enough water but it just kicks up into higher rpm and won't put out water. There are no leaks and the product seems to run well just doesn't give consistent water.
I purchased the K1700 after watching dozens of online reviews. I watched the review from obcessed garage and ordered the unit immediately after learning that unlike other washers in it's price range that it used standard fittings. With the upgraded hose, fittings and spray gun from O.G. I have a quite, effective electric pressure washer that is perfect for washing cars and motorcycles with minimal chance of doing damage. The unit seems to be well made and with the obcessed garage upgrades has a lower psi but increase flow over the stock setup. Perfect for keeping my families vehicles clean. The k1700 puts out enough pressure and flow to effectively use a foam cannon with a 1.1 mm orifice installed. To be fair in my testing I used the original included hose and gun to want my deck and concrete pad in front of garage that had not been cleaned in 22 years. It did a fine job but took a little longer than using a higher flow gas powered model. The included gun and hose work just fine but to really appreciate the capability of the Karcher K1700 an upgraded hose and spray gun with quick connects makes the whole package seem to be worth more than the cost of the package. I have owned three other electric pressure washers over the years and all were really poor quality compared to the K1700.
