desi 14 Report post Posted January 30, 2005 Any experience with the craftsman 3400 psi 4gpm unit? -sold by Sears. Please post your comments Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newlook 265 Report post Posted January 30, 2005 Depends on what you are using the unit for. I compare the craftsman to the HD units that are sold ~ similiar purpose just a different engine. HD is all Honda and Sears is Crafsman. I am sure they are just as good/bad ~ depending on what day it is :) ~ as the HD units. Sorry I could not be of more help. Here is a question that I have....is craftsman the same maker of the briggs & stranton engines? Anybody? I thought they were the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PressurePros 249 Report post Posted January 30, 2005 Home units = Homeowners light duty (with some grades a little better than others) Skid Units = Serious Contractors If you can repair small engines, pumps, unloaders, drives etc then maybe you can get by with something from Le Depot de la Maison or Sears until you can afford better, but if you are looking for something reliable and you are not a mechanic (me) I would steer clear. How worth it would it be to save $1500 and be down for a day that you have $800 worth of work scheduled? The customers and all his neighbors instantly get a bad taste in their mouth. Just my thoughts.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tropical wave 22 Report post Posted January 31, 2005 The Sears here was selling that size at a discount, like $150 off, when I asked the sears guy he stated that sears was discontinueing making the bigger PW's. He said that the 1 year warranty would still be valid but sears wouldn't be able to replace it if need be because they were cutting the inventory to zip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Outlaw 14 Report post Posted January 31, 2005 Check out the Lowes unit, I'm pretty sure it said it carried a two year warranty for commercial work. Gav Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Outlaw 14 Report post Posted January 31, 2005 My bad, it's 90 day commercial warranty and 2 year homeowner warranty, though I don't know how they would know what you used it for! http://www.troybilt-gen-pw.com/pressure_washers/model.cfm?id=189 Gav Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beyoungsr 14 Report post Posted February 1, 2005 LOL...that's true Gav...I would just have my mother-in-law return it. I guess honesty, morals and integrity are long gone these days with some folks! Craftsman is a brand Sears sells. It could have a Briggs, Tecumseh (sp) or Honda engine on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
