Featuring never-flat wheels and an ergonomic foot switch, it combines power with convenience for the modern homeowner seeking reliable, professional results. ## Description The Kärcher K1700 is a versatile electric pressure washer ideal for all-around cleaning. With a 1700 PSI CETA™ certified TruPressure™ output and a GPM of 1.2, this power washer is easy to use for any homeowner and offers convenient features for efficient cleaning. The kit includes three different spray nozzles with a universal quick-connect fitting: a 15° nozzle for regular cleaning tasks, a turbo nozzle for intense cleaning power, and a 65° soap nozzle for applying detergent and achieving a sparkling finish. The integrated detergent tank on the top of the unit makes it easy to apply your favorite pressure washer detergents. For added convenience, the detergent tank is removable to fill and clean when needed. Thanks to the three different nozzles, the K1700 can be used to clean cars, patios, fencing, decks, and much more. The integrated storage container on the back of the unit keeps the trigger gun, hose, and spray wand securely stored away while not in use, ensuring everything stays organized. The nozzles can be secured on the handle when not in use, so you never misplace one ever again. Keep the power cord neatly organized using the cord wrap on the handle, where you can also store the power plug. The portable power washer features never-flat tires, so you can transport and use the unit anywhere on your property. No tools are needed for the assembly of the K1700, so you can start cleaning as soon as it arrives. The on/off foot switch provides easy power control, allowing you to turn the pressure washer on and off with a simple tap of your foot. Water flow is controlled separately through the trigger gun. This set includes the K1700, a pressure washer gun, a spray wand, a 15° nozzle, a 65° nozzle, a turbo nozzle, an adapter for 3/4" garden hose, a removable detergent tank, and a M22 18 ft. pressure washer hose. Review: 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. Review: Exactly the right power for 85% of what we ALL use a pressure washer for.. - A decent amount of pressure from an electric pressure washer with reasonable GPM. The footprint is closet friendly. All the necessary tools are onboard. Easy to use for washing the car, spraying the house, and cleaning the patio furniture. The soap dispenser works as expected. Foam from the nozzle was reasonable, but if you’re a serious car retailer you’ll still want your favorite foam cannon in your routine. ## Features - POWERFUL & CETA CERTIFIED: 1700 PSI TruPressure and 1.2 GPM for effective cleaning of various surfaces. Independently tested and CETA certified for proven performance you can trust. - VERSATILE CLEANING OPTIONS: Equipped with three different nozzles (15°, turbo, and 65°), the K1700 allows you to tackle a wide range of cleaning jobs with precision - USER-FRIENDLY OPERATION: An on/off foot switch provides back-friendly operation, and the unit automatically stops when the trigger is released. A 0.5 gal detergent tank makes cleaning even easier - EFFORTLESS MANEUVERABILITY: Featuring never-flat wheels, the K1700 can be easily transported across various terrains for convenient use around your property - THE KÄRCHER PROMISE - CLEANER. QUICKER: The K1700 power washer is perfect for cleaning pavement, patios, decks, cars, homes, fencing, and much more ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01N20PROC | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,712 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #41 in Pressure Washers | | Brand | KÄRCHER | | Brand Name | KÄRCHER | | Color | Yellow | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 6,273 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00886622019831 | | Hose Length | 19 Feet | | Included Components | K1700 Pressure Washer, Turbo Nozzle, 15-Degree all-purpose Nozzle, Detergent Nozzle, 20' Hose, Spray Wand, Trigger Gun, Instruction Manual | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 17.25"L x 16.5"W x 33"H | | Item Type Name | K1700 | | Item Weight | 20.7 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Karcher | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1.106-109.0 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 2 year limited warranty | | Maximum Flow Rate | 1.2 Gallons Per Minute | | Maximum Pressure | 1700 Pound per Square Inch | | Model Number | 1.106-109.0 | | Power Source | Electric | | Specification Met | CETA, CSA | | Tank Volume | 0.5 Gallons | | UPC | 886622019831 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KÄRCHER - **Color:** Yellow - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00886622019831 - **Hose Length:** 19 Feet - **Item Weight:** 20.7 Pounds - **Maximum Flow Rate:** 1.2 Gallons Per Minute - **Power Source:** Electric - **Product Dimensions:** 17.25"L x 16.5"W x 33"H - **Specification Met:** CETA, CSA - **Tank Volume:** 0.5 Gallons ## Images ![Pressure Washer K1700, CETA Certified, 3 Spray Nozzles, Detergent Tank, for Cars, Driveways, Siding, Patios, 1.2 max.

If not, please point me to which unit you offer an extended reach wand.** A: Go to the mfg website for the part number. Other presure washers have extension or longer wands, available. I too need to research this as well. **Q: Does the spray wand have a button for continuous flow or do you have to hold it the entire time while using?** A: Hello from Karcher - no, pressure washers produce very high pressure which can be dangerous if the user does not have full control of the trigger gun at all times. No Karcher residential pressure washer provides for continuous flow and like a lawn mower, the unit will stop if you are not hands-on. Please avoid modifying or adding a part to hold the trigger gun in the on position. **Q: Will this unit fit a stanley shp2150 with quick release fitting?** A: It should. It’s a standard quick release fitting fit my Troy **Q: Did your unit leak from the water hose connection, did you have to purchase an adapter? From research, it seems this is almost a universal problem.** A: Hello from Karcher - Most all pressure washer brands use similar garden hose quick connectors. Where there is a water leak right out of the box, first check that the garden hose connector to the pressure washer may be reversed as they all can be installed in reverse and will leak as a result. For this model, the silver side threads to the machine and the larger black knobby side accepts the garden hose. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to assemble and works as expected *by A***S on September 16, 2023* Karcher K1700 pressure washer: Assembly is very easy -- wheels and handle.
