Handle-mounted bottle versus tank-and-soap-tip system, with 40° and 15° rating conditions shown separately.

  • CMEPW1700

    • 1700 PSI maximum pressure; product footnote uses the 40° nozzle condition.
    • 20 ft hose and 35 ft cord. 40° and turbo tips; soap bottle replaces the wand and hangs below the handle barrel.
  • CMEPW2100

    • 2100 PSI maximum pressure; product footnote uses the 15° nozzle condition.
    • 25 ft hose, 35 ft cord, 10-inch wheels and onboard tank. Manual describes 15°, 25°, 40°, soap and turbo tips; verify actual box because product overview and inventory counts conflict.

    Bottle replaces wand; 40° product rating condition.

  2. CMEPW2100

    Tank uses soap tip; 15° product rating condition.

    Isolate and depressurize before changing an attachment.
