The short version is that it is a great unit except for one detail: the gun holder is terrible. The long version is that the unit is quiet, easy to use, powerful for a 120V electric motor (gas will be king for raw power for the foreseeable future), and great hose and cord storage, but the gun mount needs some work. It's fine while horizontal, but while stored vertically with the hose attached, the breeze from a butterfly's wings will knock it off. The hose acts like a loaded spring just waiting to be triggered, launching the gun towards the ground. I have to leave the hose attached at all times if I don't want mud daubers to clog the gun and/or hose. Ended up remedying this with a short bungee, but would have been nice if they'd duplicated the hose holder's strap and mount for the gun.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Effective, Powerful
This was given to me as an anniversary gift. I opened it, followed the instructions, and the motor started. Once I pulled the trigger, it stopped and nothing happened. I checked all of the connections and they were all correct. Do not buy this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Disappointedaboveall.
We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing an issue with your pressure washer. Your review is not detailed enough for us to know what the issue is, but we will try to cover all bases. Here you will find some troubleshooting suggestions for you to try. Cleaning Obstructed Nozzles: To clean the nozzles, soak all your nozzles in a half and half mixture of warm water and white vinegar. Soak all the nozzles for about an hour and then proceed to poke your nozzle cleaning tool or paper clip through the end of the nozzle hole to poke out any debris. After you have done this, rinse them with warm water. Your nozzles will now be free of any obstructions causing the unit to fail to function normally. Removing Air from The Line / Bleeding Out the Unit: Purge any excess air from the pump. Set up the unit as per usual and ensure you are not using an extension cord. Remove any nozzle that may be connected at the end of the wand. Make sure that you have a green light on the GFCI on the power cord. Turn your garden hose on but leave the pressure washer turned OFF. With the pressure washer turned off, squeeze on the trigger for about 3 minutes – allowing the water to run through the unit at no pressure. In doing so, you are bleeding the unit out of any air that may be stuck in the pump. After 3 minutes, turn the unit on. If it is running, reinstall one of your clean nozzles and continue using the unit. Lastly, ensure that the water source is fully opened and is at least 45PSI. There should be 10' of unrestricted garden hose between the hose connection and the unit, any kinks will prevent the flow of water going into the unit and prevent proper pressure. If you have tried these steps and are still experiencing issues, please contact Greenworks at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or start a Live Chat on www.greenworkstools.com. All we ask that you have access to the unit so that we can complete troubleshooting with you and gather necessary unit information, and we will be happy to assist with the warranty claims process. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and look forward to speaking to you.
If I could give this pressure washer more than 5 stars, I would. I have never used a pressure washer before so really didn’t know what to expect. This one was so easy to get started. It pretty much comes put together, you only have to do a few things before getting started
Pros: Convenient, Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Quiet, Effective, Powerful
First impressions it Feels well built and over all good looking quality. Has a nice long power cord and i love how you can store it upright or down. Power seems very good id say its right on par with its gas counterparts. Defiantly recommend
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Effective, Powerful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this pressure washer hoping I could clean our driveway and patio but also wash our cars. This one will do it all. It's got the pressure needed to get mold, mildew an moss off of our concrete patio and driveway as well as our limestone outdoor kitchen. At the same time it's gentle enough with the other tips to soap and rinse our cars without damaging paint or clearcoat. Loving it! So glad I opted for this model.
