Kärcher K1700 Electric Pressure Washer vs Westinghouse ePX3100v Electric Pressure Washer
These are side-by-side facts taken from each product guide: published specifications, strengths and caveats as their sources state them. This page is not a test, a ranking or a verdict about which model is better.
Kärcher K1700 Electric Pressure Washer
Foot-switch operation and an upright rolling frame
Consider the K1700 for its foot switch, removable half-gallon tank and storage bin. Check that its 20-foot hose and three-tip kit cover your jobs; they differ from compact models and five-nozzle packages.
Published specifications
- 1,700 PSI TruPressure; maker table lists maximum 1.2 GPM
- 20-foot high-pressure hose
- 15°, turbo and 65° tips per the current listing
- 0.5-gallon removable detergent tank
- 20.7 lb without accessories
- 17.25 × 16.5 × 33 inches
Strengths
- On/off foot switch avoids reaching down to a low-mounted switch
- Removable tank and storage bin simplify storing the kit
- Rolling frame and no-flat wheels are included
Caveats
- Three-tip package does not include listed 25- or 40-degree tips
- Upright frame needs more height than low-profile compact washers
- 20-foot hose may require repositioning around a larger work area
Westinghouse ePX3100v Electric Pressure Washer
Carry-handle storage and smaller cleaning areas
Consider the ePX3100v when you prefer to carry a roughly 18-pound washer and can work within a 20-foot hose. Its detachable foam cannon is included, but the compact package does not make every supplied nozzle safe for delicate surfaces.

- 2,100 maximum PSI; 1.76 maximum GPM at lowest pressure
- 20-foot hose and built-in carry handle

- 15°, 25° and turbo nozzle tips
- About 18 lb; maker text also gives 17.6 lb
Strengths
- Carry handle and compact body suit moving between small work areas
- Foam cannon is included
- Maker discloses rated pressure and flow
Caveats
- Shorter supplied hose than the ePX3500's 25-foot hose
