We’re no strangers to Simpson pressure washers, and, based on our experience, they provide plenty of quality and value. Indeed, they’re among the largest gas-powered pressure washer manufacturers, who also put a lot of research and development into the design of their CRX engines. With this in mind, our reviewers put the Simpson Pro Series 3700 PSI Pressure Washer (PS61370) to the test.
Did it stand out from the competition?

Cleaning Power
Driving the PS61370 is the brand’s OEM CRX225 engine. This power plant delivers 3,700 PSI with a peak flow rate of 2.5 GPM. That level of force is appropriate for medium- to heavy-duty cleaning applications such as decks, paint preparation, walkways, and numerous other professional cleaning services.

When comparing the 3700 PSI to the Simpson Pro Series 4000 PSI model , the main distinction isn’t so much what you can clean as it is how fast you can do it. When deciding which model is best suited to your needs, it all comes down to PSI vs GPM .
