Best Craftsman Electric & Gas Pressure Washer

Here we will take a close look at the industry’s best gas and electrical pressure cleaners. Until recently, these machines were sold exclusively on Sears, and now they are available on several online markets such as Amazon. They are best known for their price/performance ratio.

 

(Update : On January 5, 2017, Sears sold the Craftsman Brand to Stanley Black + Decker for $900 million and is now available in stores outside of Sears).

The name Artisan was created in 1927 by Sears for mechanics who are very proud of their tools. By this time the automobile era was in full swing and Sears saw an opportunity to refocus its core customer base from farmers to mechanics. It was a profitable business that helped Sears become a conglomerate worth over $20 billion.

The artisan is now a very well-known brand and in recent years has become the number one brand in America. Its main point of sale is value for money. While you can pay $700 for a Honda washing machine, you can get the same Craftsman model for half the price.

If you are a big fan of the Handicraftsman brand, then you have come to the right place. Now let’s have a look at the best electric and gas washers.

Best Electric Craftsman Pressure Washer

Craftsman 1700 PSI 1.3 GPM Electric Pressure Cleaner

For most people, the best electrician is their 1700 PSI machine with a hinged steam cleaner. I find it interesting that they connect the steam cleaner to the machine at $200, while most other machines with this hot water feature cost more than $1,000. It makes me think about the quality of the components.

Suppose first it works the way it’s advertised (then we talk to real users), then the steam cleaner will help you make a quick job on dirty patio furniture, rough garbage cans and small outdoor concrete surfaces that contain algae and other dirt. With the same appliance without steam, these jobs would take twice as long to complete. Just be sure to wash the plates in cold water.

That’s why the reviews on the Sears website are mixed. It’s a Chinese car, and it seems that quality control is a bit weaker than it could be. People had trouble assembling the car as soon as it arrived. But others described it as “an amazing pressure washer that’s easy to use and move”. One thing’s for sure: you get a bunch of pressure washers for the price.

Best Gas Craftsman Pressure Washer

Craftsman 2,800 PSI 2.3 GPM With Honda Engine

The best handicraft washing machine with a gasoline engine is the Honda engine. The engine is the heart of a gasoline washing machine, and Honda engines provide unsurpassed reliability.

As you can see in the picture, it has two wheels and a folding handle for easy storage and movement from one job to another. The handle has space to store the hose and nozzles for the pressure washer, as well as the spray gun and the spray gun. It weighs 52 pounds.

The Honda engine is a 160 cubic inch road train engine that runs about as loud as a small lawn mower and should provide 3-4 hours of continuous pressure washing. Sears is currently the most popular pressure washer on the Craftsman line. You can view it in detail by clicking on the link below.

All you need to know about buying a craftsman brand power washer

Whether you need spare parts or advice to help your master, there is a thriving community of enthusiasts and dealers who can help you. Here are the pros and cons of owning a high-pressure handicraft cleaner.

Spare parts for craftsman
The advantage of buying a popular brand like Craftsman is that spare parts can be easily found if needed. Sites like repairclinic.com, pwpump.com and ereplacementparts.com offer all the parts you may need for a high pressure cleaner craftsman: fasteners, seals, valves, filters,… And all at a low price that you can deliver to your door. All you need to know is your model number, and that should be enough to make sure you order the right part.

Craftsman Pressure Cleaner Pump
I am talking about the Honda engine mentioned above, which is the heart of the gas pressure washer, but what about the pressure washer pump on gas and electric models?

The thing is, judging by the total cost of the pressure washer, the pump is not as expensive as the engine. Once you know the model number, you can visit pwpumps.com to find a spare pump for your car. Most problems with pumps are not worth fixing… Replacing a pump is often more affordable.

Craftsman Power Washer Hose
The electric washing machine hose, which comes with handicraft washing machines, is a 25 foot plastic hose that is not very flexible. You can switch to a 50-foot synthetic rubber hose which is easier to use for $50-70. Just make sure you have the right equipment.

Craftsman Pressure Washer Manual
The device is accompanied by an operating manual, which must be read before use. If you need to find the manual online, you can find all the master manuals here at manualsonline.com. In this manual you will find all the maintenance requirements and installation instructions that will allow you to start up your pressure washer quickly and easily.

Troubleshooting Your New Craftsman
If you encounter problems with your device, be sure to refer to the Troubleshooting section of the User Manual. The most common problems between 5 and 10 can usually be solved with a small adjustment, and what this means is described in the Troubleshooting section.

Summary of
Honestly, I would stay away from Craftsman appliances, but instead, if you are on the electric market, you can buy a Karcher or AR Blue Clean car.

But if you are looking for a car that runs on gas, Honda Power Craftsman is a good buy. It’s affordable and has spare parts available everywhere if you need to replace something.
