Ratings & Reviews for CRAFTSMAN 1700-PSI 1.2-GPM Cold Water Electric Pressure washer with 3 Spray Tips

Broken at only 4 years old with light usage.

I’ve had this unit for about 4 years and used about 15-20 times of light usage. The water outlet components inside the machine must have cracked and the nozzle completely came off when tightening. It leaked from the nozzles so I would tighten securely. I had hoped Craftsman would have lasted longer. Pretty disappointing.

Great little machine but!!!! the motor is junk..

3 years old and about 10 hours on it and the motor smoked ..

Wanted to like it

It Broke unable to repair or replace Apparently

cracked at the flimsy male adapter where you attach the hose on an otherwise nice lightweight machine

Craftsman 1700 pressure washer

wand hose connection not working after a few uses. Cant find replacement

Waste of no money not quality of works man ship

Less than a year the pressure washer body decided leak out pressure and water out of the body out it.

Hose thread to spray gun siezed

As others have stated, the hose where it threads onto the spray gun became seized together after maybe 10 uses. No, it was not cross threaded. In fact, it was in the process of uncoupling (loosening) them that it seized. Lucky my Lowes allowed me to return it even though the return period is only 30 days on pressure washer. Beware.

Don't expect the Turbo Nozzle to work.

After only an hour of use, the Turbo Nozzle stopped working. I've used the tool to clear it. It doesn't help. Water does spray out of it but it DOES NOT SPIN.

Doesn't last

First one lasted about 4 months. Contacted Craftsman and they sent out another one. The second one lasted about a year. Done with this product

Great for washing car...for three months...

This pressure washer worked perfectly for the light work I need it for - namely washing cars. It's nice that it comes with the foam bottle, though because of the relatively low pressure, it doesn't foam all that well. After about three months the pressure sensor malfunctioned so now I have to turn the device on and off manually -- it doesn't automatically shut off when I release the trigger on the wand. Since this was a gift I don't have the receipt, which is probably going to make getting it...

Worked fine, until it didn't

This pressure washer worked fine at first. If I had written a review a month after I bought it, I probably would have given it five stars. Then, a handful of months after the warranty expired, it quit working. The last pressure washer I had lasted nine years. This one, not even two. Definitely not going to buy another of these.

Powerful

This is small but powerful. This Powerwasher is so easy to use and so handy for outdoors. It cleans my porch, siding also my car.

Failed on 2nd use

This thing is brand new and failed on 2nd use. During 2nd use, it begun to produce a little smoke and potent smell that filled the air with only 3mins of use. It continues to smell when used again, water pressure is no longer strong. I definitely don't recommend to anyone. Gonna attempt to get a replacement with the warranty I purchased with it, even though the EPP number says it's invalid. Wish me luck.

First impressions are not everything.

I recently bought this pressure washer for the purpose of being small compact and powerful. After 2 uses this machine was great. Washed my dirtbike and my truck no problem. Then one day out of the blue I was washing both and it quit working in the middle of washing my truck. I read the troubleshooting part of the booklet and even researched what could be the issue. After multiple attempts to try and troubleshoot the pressure washer I still couldn't get it to have power. I could just have a bad e...

Great for smaller jobs

The product is fine. I wish it had at least one more nozzles

Ok purchase as base model

Basic Pressure washer , need diff nozzle head attachments and updated hose to perform better

Great for small project

It certainly beats dragging out the larger gas powered PW. I use it for washing vehicles and using the foam cannon from Chemical Guys. WORKS great! The two cons: both the inlet and exit tubes are aluminum, wish they were something a little more solid...brass would have been nice and I would have paid a bit more for that. Over all, if you want a small power washer for washing vehicles, and easy to set up and move around this is it. I'am sure it will clean other dirty items than just vehicles.

Light and compact

Have not used it yet but will edit as soon as i do. So far its perfect for what i wanted. Its nice and light, compact if i dont have my quick connects connected.
