  A cinch to assemble and was testing it out in less than ten minutes. Sure, it's less powerful than the gas one that I had, but that was expected. It works well, does the job, but takes time. The biggest negative is the height of the handle, six to eight inches too low for taller people and as usual, the 25' hose is about 25' short. So far, so good.

  For a homeowner, small business to clean siding, gutters and high windows its a performer. Not the highest pressure out there, but for cleaning it works well. I've seen untrained users with higher pressure units take pain off buildings and vehicles. This unit cleans concrete, my truck without paint damage, gutters and siding. I use this at home and it does everything I need it to do.

  No more stopping to fill the gas tank, spilling gas on shoes, getting gas on hands... just this turn on and it is ready to blast things clean. I pressure-wash a LOT of bird cages (we have a rescue) and this thing is such a blessing! Super easy to use! And MUCH quieter than the gas model. I'd give this thing TEN stars if I could. It's super easy to swap tips the included tips, for using soap or more gentle pressure-washing. Love this! -- Dee

  I was skeptical about buying an electric pressure washer to use for vehicles and around the house, but boy was I wrong!! This is a great and compact machine that works much better than expected! The wand and all parts are quality built, and you can tell they are built to last. There are plenty of attachments included to get anything done that you may want to around the house. Plenty of power for a small and compact unit. I would highly recommend this product! 5 stars!!

  Easy to put together, easy to use, easy to move around, and makes my patio and driveway look like new! I tried another brand before buying this one. Greenworks is a bit more expensive than the other well rated brand I tried but worth every penny. It's just easier to manage and everything has a place so all the pieces can be easily stored and moved around together. Does a great job cleaning! So much better than paying someone to power wash your house, this machine is worth every penny

  If your budget for a pressure washer is between $100 to $200, you can't go wrong with this corded Greenworks one. We've used dozens of different types of pressure washers on our land over the years. From cordless lithium battery operated ones, electric plug-ins, and of course gas-powered. We have different pressure washers for specific uses, and that's often based on portability or PSI (Pounds per Square Inch of water pressure).In my experience, the battery-powered pressure washers tend to be the weakest. Gas-powered ones, be it a Craftsman or even an off-brand one, usually offer the highest true PSI needed for heavy duty jobs. Or when I need to clean off hard to reach areas of any of the homes on our land. Corded electric pressure washers can be really hit or miss.The problem is that most of the corded pressure washers that I've used over the years tend to exaggerate the PSI. They'll advertise it as 2800, maybe 3,000 PSI or higher. And then when you actually put it to work, it can barely strip grime off of concrete. They end up being used only for things like rinsing off vehicles, or very light cleaning. Most of the electric pressure washers I've come across on Amazon also look identical to one another. Which is to say, they all look like a knockoff of the classic Sun Joe electric washer. We own a Sun Joe, it works well for very light-duty cleaning. But the imitations tend to offer less pressure, so they're mostly worthless unless you want to do very basic cleaning. Or you plan on taking much longer to remove buildup from driveways and walkways, but needing to hold the nozzle an inch away from surfaces instead of farther away (which means a bigger sweep and less time spraying).This Greenworks washer is advertised at 2,000 PSI, and I'd say that's actually about right. So compared to most electric pressure washers, they're honest about the strength of the spray you'll have. In testing it out, it works fine on concrete, treated deck wood, siding, Though if you're looking to spray the exterior of a second floor of your home, you'd most likely need a ladder, or a 3,000 PSI pressure washer. As a pressure washer, it's good. It's not great, if you're comparing it to pressure washers that cost $400-$800. But for the price range, it's reliable, dependable, a solid choice. It's basically what you want if you have a limited budget, minor cleaning needs, and don't want to bother constantly filling one up with gasoline. It's about as convenient a pressure washer you'll find for under $150.One other benefit of going with Greenworks, is the brand itself. I must have close to 20 Greenworks tools in my main work shed. From small handheld ones, to battery-powered push mowers (practical for when we can't use the riding mowers after heavy rains). What's cool about Greenworks is that the batteries are interchangeable, so you can use the same 24V or 48V battery for one tool as any other tool. It's rare that I'll get something that's actually corded from them. But I'm actually pleased with this one. So we ended up ordering a second one. I also like that many of their commercial products are assembled here in the United States. Last I read, sometime in 2022 Greenworks is setting up a 20 million dollar factory in Tennessee. So it's nice to know that when you buy Greenworks, you're also helping to create more jobs here in America.Should you buy it? Pretty simple, are you looking to spend under $150 for an easy to use pressure washer, without having to ever buy or use gas? Then order it. Lots of convenience for a low asking price. If you're looking to use it for an actual business, consider something else. This isn't a commercial use pressure washer, for daily business cleaning (or what people would expect you to bring to a job). But don't just take me, or anyone else, at their word for how well it works. Order one yourself. Try it out for yourself. If you don't like it, just send it back and get a refund. So at least you're not risking anything.

  I just received this washer and thoroughly tested it on my pressure-treated wood deck, so this review is a "first use" type of review – I'll update it if anything goes wrong in long-term usage. I like using electric pressure washers for home use – they provide plenty of power for most cleaning duties while NOT providing too much power for things like cleaning wood decks or painted items (I learned this the hard way years ago when I rented a gas-powered PW and damaged my deck with too much pressure). They're also relatively quiet and easy to maintain. I ruined my old, cheap, off-brand pressure washer after a half-dozen years, so I hunted for a new one and chose this company and model.The packaging is remarkable (surprisingly small box) and assembly is easy, despite the somewhat lame instructions with tiny illustrations. It's packed in a very efficient but complex way, so you may want to take pictures as you unbox so that you can get everything back in the box if you choose to return it.I wanted a PW that would store on my garage shelving and not take up valuable floor space (my garage is my wood shop, so floor space is vital). I planned to modify it to be a "carry" type of PW, but to my delight, I didn't need to! The handle is easily removed, leaving a perfectly-sized item for shelf storage (I'll have to put up a hook for the handle and hose, etc).On my first use, I thought "this is going back." Using the highest-pressure nozzle, the pressure was just not as strong as my old "2200 psi" model (that was more like 1700 PSI). But I decided to try the nozzle, gun, and after-market pressure hose from my old PW, and the difference was remarkable! Instantly much more pressure – enough to actually damage my deck, which my old PW never had. And great pressure for washing my brick and driveway. So my first STRONG recommendation would be to get some after-market nozzles and a better hose. The provided hose seems nice, but I think it doesn't provide enough water/pressure for the gun. It seems to be a common problem with these cheap models – my old PW was instantly more powerful with the same upgrades. I bought the upgrades from HD – their cheapest hose (Power Care) – a bit stiff when you first use it, but the sun and/or Southern heat seemed to loosen it up nicely. It's plenty strong enough for an electric PW.A word on the "turbo" nozzle – it may be fine for washing cars (I don't know – I enjoy washing my cars by hand with a soft brush), but it spays a small circular pattern that requires multiple passes to eliminate, so it's not as time-efficient as regular nozzles.Some other notes:– the unit shuts down when the gun (or wand) trigger is released. This is SO great (with my old one, I had to keep the thing spraying as I walked over to switch it off – otherwise it would trip the circuit protection on the device). The cord on this unit has the typical built in circuit protector, but also has a "pigtail" (a short cord between the circuit protector and the plug) which allows it to fit more easily into outdoor outlets that have covers. Nice touch.– the "brass" looking connectors are just anodized aluminum. I suspected this would be the case, given the price point, and yes they're aluminum throughout. The problem with aluminum is that it will cause a dielectric reaction with brass (if you have brass fittings on your hoses), resulting in "galvanic corrosion," or a frozen connection that requires effort and tools to disconnect. Probably not a problem with a pressure washer, since you'll likely disconnect it after use. You might think "won't the anodized fittings prevent this??" and yes they may at first, but the anodized finish will quickly wear off on the threads. Another recommendation is to coat the fittings with Dupont Chain-Saver, a favorite wax-based lube that contains Teflon. This durable lube (it dries quickly on chains or threads and leaves a wax and Teflon coating) should cut down on any corrosion, and make the connections much smoother.– this washer is relatively loud, especially when idling (less so during use). I'd say the loudness level is similar to a loud vacuum cleaner – not nearly as loud as a gas motor, but louder than my old PW, which was quite quiet. But the way I see it, it's payback for my neighbors who somehow are able to hunt down the loudest leaf blowers known to man.– the plastic components seem very robust and well designed.– this PW is EXTREMELY light weight for a PW – easy to lift even when fully assembled. That's great for moving it around and lifting onto a shelf (after removing the handle) but it does make me wonder about longevity (I generally prefer heavy tools – maybe that's a woodworking thing). I purchased the 3-year Asurion insurance for $24, which I would recommend for ANY electric PW).– the wheels are held on with wire clips. On my first use, one fell off and I had to hunt for it in the grass (I have yet to find the washer that also fell off). Surprisingly bad design. A simple solution is to zip-tie the ends of the clips to keep them from spreading and falling off. A better solution is modifying the connection with a bolt (preferably stainless steel). This would require drilling out the axle to enlarge the hole, but I think it's the way I'm going to go.– the wheels are large and the device is super-easy to move around (the light weight helps here as well).– one last note: the instructions say to turn your hose on fully... I don't think this is wise if you have high water pressure like we do. The device can only pressurize a certain amount of water per minute anyway, and excessive pressure may cause internal leaks and damage. I mention this because I think that's what killed my previous electric PW – I typically turned my water on about half way, which was perfect. But one day I wasn't thinking (might have been temporary heat stroke from this ridiculously hot Summer) and I turned it up all the way. The unit stopped working and water was dripping from the case. I couldn't disassemble it because of super-deep screws, so I don't know for sure but it seems likely that the excess pressure ruptured seals and/or overloaded the pressure manifold. So be mindful – if you have strong water pressure, then maybe back it off a bit... you just need need a steady supply of water delivered to the thing... more water won't result in more pressure from the PW – it's limited by the pressure manifold.All in all, I've gone from "this is going back" to "I really like this thing" so I'll be keeping it. But I strongly recommend upgrading the hose (the gun, or wand, is fine) and the nozzles. Keep in mind that these devices typically have a short life span, so you may want to get the Asurion protection. And you might want ear plugs, or even better a pair of noise-cancelling ear buds so you can listen to your favorite music while doing a somewhat lengthy chore (I use Apple Airpods when doing any yard work – the noise-canceling is amazing, as is the sound quality).My main concern with this lightweight unit is durability – I will certainly update this review immediately if any problems arise. If you don't see any edited to this review, then you can assume all is well.All the best to you! You could have probably finished your deck in the time it took to read all this :D

  With the 25 degree green tip, I tried cleaning off the residue of grilled chicken from a gas grill grate.It was a new porcelain covered grate that had been soaking in water for over a month after cooking, so the chicken bits were quite soft.The pressure washer did not remove the chicken pieces very well. After spraying the grate thoroughly, there were many sections that still had chicken residue. With the skin pad of my thumb, I could easily remove that residue with very little rubbing pressure. I was hoping the grate would be clean all over without the need of me rubbing every spot. That was disappointing, as it was very soft material.I tried spraying some siding, and that didn't seem to do much either.So, with the sprayer tips provided, the washer did not clean well.I bought a black turbo nozzle, and that did better, but not as well as I would hope.Why don't they provide a turbo tip to clean with? That was the only tip that worked somewhat.The design of the electric plug is simply bad. On my outside outlets, the kind with a spring cap, it simply will not plug in since it is way too big. Their plug has ground fault protection built into it, making it very large. If they had only put a 6 inch pigtail at the end, then it would work fine. I had to use an outdoor extension cord, which I bought several over a year ago on Amazon, just to plug it in - so that is about $5 added to the cost; shouldn't be necessary.Then there is the high pressure hose that came with it. It is not very pliable and tries to retain its COILED shape, which makes it hard to use; tends to stay tangled. So if you want to have less hassle using the washer, probably should replace the hose; an additional cost.I ordered a pressure gauge from Amazon to check the pressure.The 25 degree green tip got 1600 psi.The 40 degree white tip got 1500 psi (see picture).The purchased turbo tip got 1200 psi.The sprayer is rated at 2000 psi, so seems the smaller tip should have more pressure than 1600 psi, and maybe clean the grill grate better.I also did a volume test; this is rated at 1.1 GPM.I sprayed into a bucket that was marked at a 1 gallon level.My first measurement was for my garden hose directly into the bucket.It took only 8 seconds to produce 1 gallon.Going through the washer, with no tip, and the washer *OFF*, it took 1 min, 13 secs for 1 gallon.Going through the washer, with no tip, and the washer *ON*, it took 38 seconds for 1 gallon.With the 25 degree green tip, it took 1 min, 4 secs.With the 40 degree white tip, it took 60 seconds.With the purchased turbo tip, it took 53 seconds.So, with the tips provided with the washer, the quantity of water delivered seems a bit less than the rated 1.1 gallons per minute.So, to use the washer comfortably, I think you need 3 things immediately:an extension cord: $5a turbo nozzle: $10 - $20a flexible hose: $20 - $40 (or more).Since the pressure delivered doesn't seem strong enough to be very effective, and with the above added costs, might as well buy a stronger washer with better equipment, psi power, and design.

  Make sure you have enough water pressure coming through your holes to use it properly. Otherwise it works great.
