Let’s start with the shipping box. At over 40-pounds, the box could benefit from having cut-out handles on the sides for better control in loading. The upper handle only slides onto the lower handle without any groves. Regardless of how tight you make the handle bolts and knobs, the upper handle will flap back and forth when moving the machine. The spray gun and wand combination is short for tall users (e.g., over 6-feet). Prepare for a sore back. The a.c. cord has plenty of reach. The high-pressure hose, however, could use another 5-feet of length to avoid having to move the machine as often. While the Quick Start Guide identifies the Power switch, neither the guide nor the Operator Manual describe the switch operation. Depressing the switch only places the unit in “stand-by” mode.” The pump will remain in the “stop” condition until you pull and hold the spray gun trigger. Then it will take about 3-seconds for the pump to energize and produce pressure. This delay is important to know as the pump is not constantly running as may be the case in other types of pressure washers. Releasing the trigger stops the water pressure and places the pump back in stand-by mode. A nice feature overall but one that needs a description in the manuals. The descriptions for both the 15-degree and 25-degree spray tips are the same (??). The 25-degree tip did a good job of removing algae and mold from the foundation and siding. It also made quick work of spider droppings. The 15-degree and 40-degree tips were not tested. The Turbo nozzle was lacking in its ability to remove long-standing stains. A 38-year-old,1500 psi unit performed better. The unit runs quiet given it is an electrical pressure appliance. It also eliminates the hassle of maintaining a gas-powered unit.
Pros: Easy to Use, Quiet, Effective
I would recommend this to a friend!

Replaced out an old electric pressure washer I’ve had a couple years now and the difference is CRAZY!!! The power behind what looks like a little pressure washer but packs a huge punch. This pressure washers is by far the best pressure washer I’ve owned and I cannot be any happier with the product. This is an awesome purchase for those who wants powerful pressure washer that is not so big and bulky it beats having to get gas and lug around a heavy pressure washer. It’s lightweight and portable but will definitely leave you in shock with the spectacular job it does. 10/10 would recommend!!!
Same problem as many other customers. The metal part at the outlet of the high pressure side of pump where the hose connects (through a metal pin) broke. This is a serial defect that can potentially cause injury. This product should be recalled and the part in question should be redesigned and replaced.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

After plugging it in and turning it on the connection where the pressure hose connects below the motor broke. Looks like the cast aluminum connection was too thin. Please not that I really like this pressure washer but that thin connection someone should have seen that it will not last. Also 45 minutes on hold is to TO long. Come on Greenworks get your support together.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello MPMa
We are sorry that you are having an issue with one of our products! With the spring season here, so is our busiest time of year which unfortunately means increased wait times. Please allow our team to gather some further details so that we can help find a resolution for you. We kindly ask that you give us a call at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). All we ask that you have access to the unit so that we can complete troubleshooting with you and gather necessary unit information.
I bought this last year and have used it many times! I just power washed my deck and it did an amazing job, yes I did get close to the deck with the nozzle, but it just ate the dirt right off! I have used it to power wash my house also, and again it did a great job as long as you get close enough to what you are washing! I love my Greenworks tools! I have a snow thrower, push lawn mower, riding mower and leaf blower! I thought I was having issues with my rider, but everything is good on that machine! These products are just so much easier for me to use!
Pros: Convenient, Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful
