Inexpensive and a Powerful Pressure Washer ~ Saved me tons of money in concrete color costs

Inexpensive and a Powerful Pressure Washer ~ Saved me tons of money in concrete color costs
I bought this in July and have not had time to open it and see what I got for my $100 during that big sale. It was 50% off. I live at the beach and have colored concrete around both sides of my home and during these last two years and all the rain here in Cali on the Central Coast I ended up with mold in the concrete and on my retaining walls. The concrete mold would NOT wash off so I thought, what the heck I am going to try a power washer and do it myself before forking out money to have my concrete recolored. Mold on concrete can be dangerous to your health and can cause allergic reactions, respiratory problems, and lung infections. Mold can appear in different colors, such as black, green, white, or brown, and can have a fuzzy, slimy, or powdery texture so it must be treated. I opened the box and the instructions were very easy to follow. I put on the wheels, struggled a little putting on the handle because it didn't fit great, so don't force it, just keep trying and once you get it in, it will click and be fine. The nozzles store easily on the unit. I did have an issue with the way the water hose attaches. The first piece you screw/twist on goes one direction and when you screw on the hose it goes the other direction, so a couple of times it would leak where the water hose attaches. I had to move it from one side of the house to the other so the second time I attached the water hose I was sure it was secure. It still leaked water but not as much and it didn't take any pressure away. I was barefoot and three times I ran that pressure spray over my foot and wow, that hurts. Don't make the mistake of plugging it into an outside plug outlet where it cannot lay it completely flat. My outlets have that plastic cover with a latch at the bottom so getting the plug to lay flat could not happen. I did this because I was rushing and it didn't occur to me it needed to be secure and flat. I could never get the machine to come on (motor sound) when I pressed to foot pedal, not thinking about the connection. It would still spray water in a trickle but no motor would come on. I moved the plug to my garage where it could be completely flat and it worked fine. The long cord was really nice to have so you can move around easily. The one thing I disliked was when I pulled or pushed the unit to move forward, it was difficult at times because the hose screws in on the side of the unit and hose curves because you have the hose in the front of the unit when you are working so when you pull it, its turns sideways. It was a minor issue. The pressure power was great. I used water only without any soap and was able to spray my vinyl fence down to clear all the spider webs and dirt. I cleaned my house walls which are stucco and my downstairs windows. I mostly concentrated on my colored concrete walkways. I used the large strongest nozzle and made small circles on the mold stains that were deep in the concrete. You can see in the pictures what looks like drops of paint that are Brown. And on the retaining wall it is just Green. I really thought I was going to have to pay to have my cement ground down and repainted. After a few hours I was finished and it looks brand new. I turned off the hose and sprayed out the remaining water. I unplugged the unit. Removed the hose from the wand and the unit and drained that water from the hose and put it away! I plan on taking it to my upper two decks to spray the ceiling of each deck next. I would recommend this unit. "I'm just a girl ~ one happy girl"

    I bought this brand because my Mom had one and hers had broken (she had it for awhile). Read the instructions and make sure you have air out before turning it on (there's youtube videos on this) but it works really well. It's not really designed for large spaces because it will take you awhile but we did a large carport area in sections over several days and it did the job. It has 3 spray nozzles but we only used one for this particular job. The nozzle for the soap would be good for washing your car because it's not as strong a stream. There is a nozzle that makes a more concentrated stream but we didn't have use for it this time that we used it. We ran it for several hours straight with no issues. Had plenty of electrical line and plenty of hose line for what we needed to do. Easy to move around as it has wheels but we did not try and pull it around like some of those that are lower to the ground. I didn't feel like we needed to move it all that much to cover the areas we were working on. The carport was heavily covered in algae so it did take smaller stronger sprays to get the algae off. In the one area not exposed to the sun, it went much faster to get the layers of dust off and some stains. We used a degreaser (not through the detergent bin) to get some of the more heavily stained areas clean. I haven't used any other brands but I can recommend this one as being sturdy and stores super nice with everything fitting in the device itself.

    Make sure there is no air in the system before you power up!
    I ran this pressure washer for just over an hour right out of the box with no issues whatsoever. Ten minutes later I ran the machine for another hour and a half and I'm pleased to say, no issues. Pressure is so strong I have to pull the trigger and then power up using the switch. Fast cleaning, several tips that snap into place. I feel like this is a tool that makes my "must have list". A swivel on the pressure hose is needed to stop the typical wrestling match to make it straight or roll it up... GREAT TOOL @ economy pricing and a real work horse...!

    It works okay. It got enough power to wash the wheel rims (arguably the hardest thing to clean). The hose and the power cable are long enough so I can wash my car without moving it. One issue I have is the soap tank. Once you put the soap in there is only one way out and there's no way to shut it off.

    I have only used it for one day but it ran for about 5 hours straight and had no issues. it was easy to assemble, has no leaks and 1700 PSI was plenty of power to wash my patio, deck, porch, and driveway. I like how the bucket holds the hose when not in use and has corner slots to hold the extensions and gun parts when broken down. while the gun is assembled I'm able to rest it on the area where you wrap the power cable while its not in use. everything about it was convenient and thoughtful. the only thing I would change is the built in nozzle holder. Instead of 2, id like to have 5 but for $5 I bought a holder that I zip tie to the arm and I'm good to go. Id recommend it to a friend or neighbor for the $100 price tag, its got the value.

    I’m a typical suburban home owner and after tons of research it was clear that the K1700 is the best choice for an around-the-house pressure washer. Check out Matt’s review of this unit on the Obsessed Garage YouTube channel for a very detailed performance test and rundown of its features. He personally tested around 30 electric pressure washers and found that he K1700 actually had more flow (1.45 GPM) than the competition, including more expensive models and even more than Karcher’s K4 and K5. Due to its performance and features he chose the K1700 exclusively to carry in his own store of heavily curated cleaning products and if you know Matt, that says a lot. The Obsessed Garage name is VERY fitting for his whole operation.

    My experience using it:

    I had it assembled in under 5 minutes without any tools, which only involved installing the wheels, handle, hose, and gun. Everything snapped or screwed together easily and all the parts fit perfectly and without issue. I read the manual in about 2 minutes and was power washing within 15 minutes of opening the box. Using it is as easy as a garden hose and works great for the things I purchased it to do. To be clear, this is not going to remove years old stains on concrete or strip paint from old cars but it did make quick work of my pollen and bird poop stained deck, mud stained brick foundation, grass stained Cub Cadet riding mower, and the bug covered front grill on my car. The unit is light weight, rolls easy, and has a nice long power cord so maneuvering it around the yard was very easy and low impact. After 2 hours of work around my house everything is looking basically brand new. Seriously, the bang for the buck here is incredible. Putting it away was as simple as disconnecting the garden hose, running the motor for 30 seconds to spray out any leftover water inside it, and coiling up the power cord and sprayer hose.

    Build quality:

    This is a sturdy feeling machine. All the plastic is nice and thick, the handle is metal and extremely easy to attach/detach. I almost went with the K1800 for the folding handle but that’s really not a necessary feature since the handle on the K1700 can be removed in 10 seconds without tools by just pressing two spring-supported metal balls. While feeling well built, it weighs under 20lbs so you can easily pick it up (or roll it) without breaking a sweat. The garden hose attachment point is metal and Karcher includes a metal swiveling female-to-female adapter for that connection as well.

    The best thing about the K1700, and a major advantage over the K4 and K5, is that this unit uses industry standard M22 threads and 1/4” quick disconnects on the hose and spray gun. That means you can purchase any brand of hose, gun, attachments, nozzles, swivels, quick disconnects, etc. as you expand your setup. I went ahead and bought a MATCC foam cannon and a set of various spray pattern nozzles ($17), a 50’ hose ($24), a 180 degree swiveling quick disconnect ($12), and an assortment of stainless steel quick disconnects ($8). All of them fit perfectly and work great on the K1700 and with the new quick disconnects I can snap everything together in different combinations on the fly (without needing to turn off the machine) like Lego pieces.

    Con?:

    If I had to pick one shortcoming on this machine, and this is literally the only one I can think of, it’s that the hose is too short for car washing. I highly recommend picking up a 50ft hose along with the various quick disconnects needed so you could attach the two hoses together for a total of 75ft if needed. I found 50ft to be more than enough for washing 2 cars parked in the same driveway without needing to move the machine but having the option for 75ft will be perfect when I get on the roof to clean out the gutters.

    Conclusion:

    Overall I’m extremely happy with this purchase. It makes pressure washing so easy that I can’t wait for things to get dirty so I can have a reason to use it again. I’ve been spending $20-30 per month at the car wash so the K1700 should pay for itself in car wash savings alone over 4-5 months. That’s not even counting the gas or time I use to drive and wait in line at the car wash.

    Setting up, using, and putting away the K1700 is so quick and easy that I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this unit to anyone, young or old, as an around-the house pressure washer. Even if you have no interest in cleaning your home/deck, this makes car washes so easy (and FUN with the foam cannon) that anyone that likes to keep their vehicles clean should pick up one of these. I even caught my neighbor sneaking a peek out his front window when I was foaming my car and then grabbing his wife to show her how cool it was. Anyone that lives in a typical suburban middle class neighborhood knows the joy making the neighbors jealous!

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Pressure Washer ... Especially for Vehicle Detailing!
    Reviewed in Canada on June 9, 2023
    Style: 2125 PSI (Cube)Verified Purchase
    I purchased this pressure washer to detail our vehicles (foam and rinse each vehicle’s paint, engine and undercarriage), power wash mats, etc. I am a weekend warrior … not a professional detailer. I only detail about 1-2 cars per week (on average) … so, I don’t need an expensive pressure washer. Given my needs, my research pointed me to this unit as my best value … being able to provide low enough water pressure to avoid damaging a vehicle’s paint while being both affordable and of reasonable build quality for weekend warriors use. In addition to good function and good value, I also wanted ease of access to (and storage of) the unit. So, I installed my unit on a wall shelf and added an MTM Hydro 50-foot hose reel below the wall shelf (see photo).

    Pros: The K1700 cube comes with fittings that are commonly used by higher quality pressure washers (M22 threads and 1/4” fittings). I bought and installed MTM Hydro 1/4" stainless steel quick connects to easily connect / disconnect the unit from my home’s water source, its hoses, etc. that were readily available and didn’t require special adaptor fittings to work on the K1700. This was important to me because I live in a climate with freezing temperatures in the winter, don’t have a heated garage and therefore store my setup in my basement for the winter. The K1700 cube is relatively light and compact … facilitating my shelf install. The K1700 cube has an easy to use and convenient foot pedal to turn the machine on and off. Because my setup is on a wall shelf, I simply press the pedal with my hand. The K1700 cube has a water intake on the left side and its water outlet on the front. These locations work very well for connecting hoses for the summer (and disconnecting the machine and the hoses for winter storage) … especially when you have a wall shelf installation. The K1700 cube’s water pressure and water output (that I have reduced by using a 40-degree 3.0 orifice MTM Hydro quick connect nozzle and an MJJC Foam Cannon with 1/4 Inch Quick Connector) is sufficient for my applications. This machine comes with a 25-foot power cord with built-in GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) protection designed to shut off the machines electric power in the event of a ground-fault (such as contact with water.). This hose length should be more than adequate for most every installation. The K1700 cube has a built-in storage container. I use mine for storing extra nozzles (I bought a set of MTM Hydro 3.0 quick connect nozzles), etc. Finally, the K1700 cube comes with a 3-year warranty (the cube unit … I don’t believe the warranty covers all the accessories). This is a very good warranty for a more “budget” pressure washer. I should point out that more “budget” units like the K1700 (although well made) are not designed to last forever. So, for Karcher to warranty this unit suggests their confidence in the product. Certainly, based on my experience so far, the K1700 cube appears well-made and has not given me any problems.

    Cons: The K1700 is not designed for cleaning decks, driveways, etc. If you are seeking a pressure washer to perform these tasks easily, look for a higher PSI machine. This is not a problem for me. I use my K1700 cube strictly for car detailing. I have a much more powerful pressure washer for handling tasks that require higher PSI ratings. This machine comes with “budget” accessories … a 20 foot pressure washer hose, a pressure washer gun and wand and some nozzles. The problem is that all lower cost pressure washers come with what I would describe as “budget” accessories (hoses that are too short in length, inflexible and tangle and break easily, pressure washer guns and wands that are made out of lesser quality parts), etc. I left the attachments that came with my K1700 cube in the box and bought higher quality attachments … a hose 50 foot MTM Hydro Kobrajet hose, a Mosmatic NEO pressure washer gun with swivel (again that can be quickly and easily connected / disconnected using my quick connects) … am very happy that I did. It has greatly enhanced my pressure washing experience … eliminating fighting with lesser quality components as well as making my pressure washer very convenient to use and to put away / store after use. The K1700 cube comes with a build-in soap dispenser. For me, this is a con because I use a foam cannon (or other foamers and sprayers) to apply cleaning products (like car shampoo, wheel and tire cleaners, engine degreasers, etc.). I never use built-in “features” like soap dispensers … which I should point out only function as a sprayer (not a foamer).

    Recommendation: I highly recommend the Karcher K1700 Cube. In my humble opinion, I am of the view that this unit was by far the best value for money to meet my needs (for all the reasons that I set out above). Notwithstanding, I suggest that if you are considering buying this unit (or any other unit that includes accessories with the unit) for car detailing (or other applications), that you replace the accessories (pressure washer hose, spray gun and nozzles) that ship with the unit with higher quality accessories. You also may want to consider buying quick connectors to make attaching / detaching pressure washer guns, foam cannons, etc. faster and more convenient. I made these modifications right at setup. But, these upgrades can be done at any time. It has certainly improved my car detaining experience.

    5 stars despite a minor but easily fixed problem.

    After 5 minutes use the cleaner was not as effective and the photos show why.

    A small piece of plastic “swarf” had blocked one of the white nozzles orifice.

    After removing the two retaining clips/nozzles/”O” rings I connected the surface cleaner to the pressure washer and pulled the gun trigger to flush any other bits of “swarf” out of the pipework.

    The piece of swarf* sticking out of the nozzle was cut off and the nozzle blown through with compressed air to eject the remaining swarf* out of the back of the nozzle (* the two black bits in front of the right hand “O” ring)

    If I had not had compressed air to use I would have tried to vacuum out the the nozzle rather than poking the swarf out with a pin and possibly damaging the nozzle.

    So, if you buy this surface cleaner, you may want to consider removing the two retaining clips/nozzles/”O” rings and flushing the pipe work before you first use the cleaner.

    We used this for cleaning our stone patio and sidewalk. It made a good difference and gave the stones a fredh look. The best part is that it keeps the dirt down with no sand spraying all over the plave. What an improvement to the process. Highly recommended.
