Commowner Electric Pressure Washer
Score: 72/100Rankings
The Kärcher K1700B is a CETA-certified electric pressure washer designed for light-to-moderate homeowner tasks, featuring a convenient foot switch and onboard detergent tank. Its universal motor and lower flow rate are trade-offs for its compact, portable design. It is best suited for users who value ease of use and storage over professional-grade power.
The Commowner 4800 PSI Electric Pressure Washer is a lightweight, high-power tool designed for heavy-duty outdoor tasks. It distinguishes itself with a unique 4-wheel anti-tipping design and a Total Stop System for energy efficiency. However, inconsistent spec reporting regarding flow rate and hose length raises questions about its true performance capabilities.
