Now that most of the country is slowly but surely making its way out of the pollen season, it’s time to get the pressure washers fired up. Decking, siding, windows, and pavers all need a good rinse, and there are plenty of brands to choose from if you’re in need of a tool to get the job done. One of them is the Craftsman CRX 3000 psi Pressure Washer.
Here’s a peek at what it has to offer.
Craftsman CRX 3000 psi Pressure Washer Design Features
Starting at the heart of this model, the Craftsman CRX 3000 psi Pressure Washer runs on a 163cc engine. According to Craftsman, this should give you 2.3 GPM or, as they put it, enough to tackle all of your cleaning tasks.
However, this latter point begs more explanation.
If you’re new to pressure washers, you’re probably wondering about the difference between psi and GPM. Which one matters more in terms of cleaning ability?
Most Pros rely on gallons per minute over pounds per square inch as the baseline indicator for cleaning power. Particularly when you have a cleaning solution in the mix, moving more water typically removes more dirt and debris.
That said, without having had our hands on the CRX pressure washer, we can say that 2.3 GPM may be on the light side if you’ve got heavy work ahead of you. Conversely, if your tasks are moderate, and you’re not in search of Old Faithful, this unit might be the one for you.

And like most pressure washers, the CRX enables you to tune the pressure to specific tasks. Four quick-connect spray tips let you easily adjust the spray pattern to suit various jobs–everything from windows and siding to decking and pavement.
Furthermore, its 25-foot Red Hyflex hose should help increase maneuverability, as should the 12-inch, never-flat wheels. Finally, Craftsman added a fold-in handle for easier storage.
