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.

Purchased this product about three weeks ago, primarily for detailing cars and it works great! Did plenty of research and watched a lot of videos and reviews and the product did not disappoint!

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy set up took about 10 mins maybe even less only thing I struggled was putting the handle on my mom struggled a bit but we managed to get it on it works wonders only issue we have is the nozzle for the hose is leaking easy for travel and put in trunk don’t take up much space at all
