Build Quality

Winner: Kranzle K1322TS
Circuit Compatibility
- K1322TS: 15A compatible (barely), recommended 20A for foam cannon
- Comet: 15A compatible (barely), recommended 20A for foam cannon
Winner: Tie
Foam Cannon Use
The Comet has slightly less GPM but more pressure, which still results in solid foam output. That said, the K1322 edges it out due to higher flow when paired with a 1.25mm orifice.
Winner: Kranzle K1322TS
Price
- K1322TS: ~$1122
- Comet Static 1700 Extra: ~$749
The Comet offers serious value for the performance it brings. Great cleaning power for $350+ less.
Winner: Comet Static 1700 Extra
