While it is most popular in its native USA, Craftsman, a subsidiary of Stanley Black & Decker, has been proudly producing electric tools since the late 1920s and is a major player in the pressure washer industry. Its products are recognizable for their bright red livery, and they cover every variant, from larger wheeled units to ultra-portable hand-held models.
Craftsman is another brand with a wide range of products, including battery-powered and corded electric models, with a choice of 21 pressure washers at the time of writing. Some of its electric models feature brushless technology for a more powerful and efficient operation, and there are several available accessories, including external detergent applicators, cleaning agents, and covers for storage. Stand-out models include its ultra-portable handheld and lightweight pressure washers, which provide up to 1,700 PSI of pressure and are ideal for yard work and lighter applications.
Craftsman is undoubtedly a well-respected brand, and it fares well in consumer surveys, including that of Consumer Reports’ fall survey of 2021. In this review, the gas-powered models fared slightly better than their electric counterparts, with the latter receiving a poor rating for owner satisfaction. That being said, the brand deserves praise for its diversity, portability, and range of accessories.
