CRAFTSMAN Electric Pressure Washer, Cold Water, Lightweight Corded Power Washer for Cars, Driveways, Patio and Garage, Powerful 1700-PSI, 1.2-GPM, Compact, Easy to Use (CMEPW1700)

The CRAFTSMAN CMEPW1700 is a compact, cold-water electric pressure washer designed for routine outdoor cleaning around cars, driveways, patios, and garages. It delivers up to 1700 max PSI pressure and a 1.2 GPM flow rate, offering a lightweight cleaning solution for homeowners looking to lift grime without handling gas-powered equipment.

Setup and daily handling are straightforward. The unit features built-in storage slots for its wand, nozzle, power cord, and hose, keeping all components neatly together between jobs. Cleaning flexibility comes from a 35-foot power cord paired with a 20-foot kink-resistant hose, giving you extended physical reach across driveways and around vehicles. An included soap applicator bottle lets you apply detergent for tackling stubborn dirt on sensitive surfaces.

A few functional trade-offs exist with this design. Because it operates strictly on cold water and relies on an electrical outlet, it cannot handle hot-water applications and requires an accessible power source nearby. Additionally, the 1.2 GPM water flow rate is tailored for light-to-medium domestic tasks rather than heavy industrial washing.

Verdict: This power washer is a practical choice for homeowners who need a simple, easy-to-store washer for routine vehicle care, patio rinses, and driveway touch-ups. Its organized storage, long reach, and CETA certification make it a reliable household washing tool.
