About this product
The Kärcher K1700 Pressure Washer is a corded electric cold water unit offering a maximum pressure of 1700 PSI, powered by a 1700W motor with 1 HP. Constructed primarily from plastic, it features a noise level of 70 dB and includes detergent for immediate use. This German-made model has an engine size of 50 cc and an item diameter of 14 inches, designed for general home cleaning tasks.
Our take
For general household cleaning, the Kärcher K1700 is a decent entry-level electric pressure washer. The 1700 PSI provides enough power for tasks like cleaning patios, siding, or vehicles without being overly aggressive. The inclusion of detergent is a nice touch, allowing you to get started right out of the box. Being a corded electric unit, it’s lighter and easier to maintain than gas models, though you'll be tethered to an outlet. The 70 dB noise level is also fairly standard for electric units. However, the plastic material construction might be a point of consideration for long-term durability compared to units with more metal components, and the 1 HP motor, while effective, positions it firmly in the light-duty category.
