Craftsman 1700 PSI Electric Pressure Washer REVIEW.

[@HockeyPurist]

Just picked one up at my local Lowes for $79.99. Thanks for posting the video.....helped me figure out what to expect and how to use it.

Thank you so much for posting this video. I've been doing research on pressure washers and watched about 4 videos on this product before I found this video. The other videos were not very detailed in how to use and they were more into comparing to other pressure washers rather than speaking about this one specifically. You were very thorough and honest and I feel I can now use this item confidently and more or less know what to expect.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks Allison👍🏻

That was the most informative video I've seen on this unit; everything was explained and demonstrated well. It was much better than the manufacturer's instructions! Many thanks.

Mine just came in today and im super excited to use it. I also ordered an mjjc pro foam cannon and a stubby wand. The reviews on the mjjc pro were amazing. I literally just bought this pressure washer solely for washing my car with a foam cannon.

I used it in brownstone steps and it worked fantastic with the turbo nozzle.

Ugh last thing I need is to watch a video on it when I don't need to buy it lol! Great video.

Thank you for pointing out where the 40 degree angle piece is attached when opening. Panicked when I didn’t see it in the box or wrapping.

I just bought this unit and used it for the first time today to wash my car. It worked awesomely! The guy at the store saw me looking at the other phone canisters and gave me a pretty good tip that seemed to have worked. He told me to fill the bottle up 1/2 - 2/3 with the soap ( I used the basic Turtle Wax car wash liquid) and filled the rest of the canister with water and shaking it up before connecting it back to the gun. While it definitely didn't do as well as your second try it certainly put out much more foamy suds then your first attempt. I still may eventually upgrade but you are 100% correct when it comes to all of the uses this little guy will be great for. I live in a townhouse and didn't think I would have much need outside of washing the car or maybe pressure washing the garage door but holyshit my next weekend will be fun packed with all the things I'm going to do with this bitch

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Lol. Have fun with that washer👍🏻👍🏻

[@erikmendoza8641]

Got mine 5-6 months ago and yesterday tried to wash my truck well it turns on but the pressure is just not there anymore

[@RyanEVANS-x7y]

hey i just got this and it’s doing pretty good and i also got the foam cannon but it dosent spray as much foam as yours maybe it’s my soap but what would you say the hot water to soap ratio should be and thank you for the video

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I use 1/3 soap in the canister. More than what is typically called for.

[@namit6100]

thank you🥰

[@soulinmeditation]

After 2 years i wonder how its held up. just came across this unit and am interested on your opinion

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

It’s still going strong👍🏻

[@David_Trang]

Did the craftsman end up lasting longer than the ryobi?

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Yes, still using the Craftsman👍🏻

[@kathleendemoya6089]

What can you use a pressure washer for in the house?

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Hosing down the kids😂👍🏻

[@DS-zo8xs]

If it can do a decent job on concrete, do you think it could do siding?

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

It should do okay. Keep in mind, this is not a heavy duty pressure washer, this is perfect for more light duty stuff.

[@DR-UTAH]

How’s it holding up? I just bought one I hope it lasts a while

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Still using it and running fine👍🏻👍🏻

[@HenG20]

[@jordynduttine1301]

How do you get the soap dispenser off?! Says twist counter clock wise but won’t come off for me

[@jameshodges4593]

Push in and then twiat

[@powertools2375]

Help me decide between this and the ryobi 16oo please. Exact same price

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

From my experience, my two Ryobis that I have owned have both crapped out on me. Not saying this one won’t either, but so far it’s been nice

[@powertools2375]

Thanks

[@Rapture_11B]

It actually looks simple, I just need a foam cannon not a soap cannon for it

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

[@MrLozts]

I just got this pressure washer and after a few minutes it seems to have trouble holding pressure. Eventually it regains pressure and I don't seem to have that issue again the rest of the wash. I purge the pump/hose of air before turning on the pressure washer but the only thing I can think of is that air is still getting stuck in the pump. Have you experienced this? Also, my pressure washer turns on randomly for like a second without me pulling the trigger. Does yours do that too? TIA!

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I have noticed that happening with mine once or twice, but in my case it was due to the water from the house side having “ bubbles” in it after I thought I ran it long enough and purged all of the air out.

[@jonathanrossman8657]

Mine worked great the first time. The second time water pressure was super low. Had to go back to my 20+ year old gas craftsman

[@robertglover3798]

How’s it holdin up after a month or so? I’ll probably buy one strictly for washing my vehicles lol

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

It’s holding up great. I use it about once a week for washing my truck and so far so good. No complaints over here

[@robertglover3798]

@@BrianWatersOutdoors Sweet! Good to hear. I may pick one up from Lowes here soon. Was just looking for something compact that can hold up for a few years to wash cars and other little small things. Thanks man!

[@jaypeetee2790]

will it work if the water source is from a bucket or drum?

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

No, this requires pressure from the water source
