There were no surprises either in the final assembly out of the box or in its first usage. We also got the surface cleaning disk, which also worked as advertised. The system was easy to assemble, instructions were clear, and it was easy to use. In my research, this is the most powerful unit I could find without going to 240V electric or gasoline. That power limitation means it will take longer for really big cleaning jobs. No wand or hose extension or bigger surface disk options are available. But I expect it to be perfect for regular cleaning of my pool deck.
Worked great a handful of times. Helped a buddy pressure wash around his house. After using for about an hour the circuit breaker kept breaking. It did this about 10 times in the next 15 min. About 3 mo later I went to take it out and use it and the unit is no longer recieving power and the circuit breaker won5 reset. After looking at it only thing I can come up with is the power cable has a short somewhere. Looking around and other people are having similar issues. A good company should notice a trend and do what ever they can to replace the power cable and offer replacement parts. Can the power cable even be replaced by the consumer, and if so why is that power cable not in your parts search on your website?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The metal that they use to make some of the most important components are junk. Have replaced it twice in two years. These products are good for a month or two of light work and that't it

I've had this unit for about 6 months in my detail shop. I use a foam cannon with most of my jobs so a GPM rating of at least 2.0 GPM is a must. The machine has worked well and is still working but I would like to see GreenWorks make some changes to the design. First off, the motor or GFI plug or maybe a combination of the two is very finicky. Sometimes the GFI plug will trip over and over again. My shop has all 20A circuits and I think Greenworks could do a better job with this so it will run on 20A. The pump pulls the most load when you are requiring a larger GPM such with a foam cannon. The second thing is regarding the way the machine starts up. It has a solid 5-8 second delay upon pulling the trigger and the unit coming up to full power. This I absolutely hate! It is super annoying and I don't see why its needed. I would like to see Greenworks come out with a more fine tuned version. If not I will be investing in a Comet or Kranzle unit for my shop.

I am a general contractor and I bought this as a test since I had a gas powered unit already. The surge protector has failed and my unit went from working perfectly to not powering up at all. Is there any help for a very satisfied customer. Looking to delete this review and go for 5 stars if I can repair my unit..
I bought this 6 months ago and used it sucessfully 1 time on my deck. Since then I have tried to use it for various jobs and the inline GFCI CONTINUALLY trips. It was once every 20 minutes or so but has gotten worse. today it is less than 1 minute between every trip. Garbage...don't waste your money
