worked wonderful for about 2 1/2 years w/occasional use. psi suddenly fell off quickly. Pressure was not much more than a water hose. I feel I have not abused this item and should have lasted longer. guess pump is shot!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Daniel Landis
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review but we’re sad to hear this product left you feeling disappointed.
Pressure washer nozzles come in different styles. Nozzles with smaller holes put out more pressure, and nozzles with bigger holes put out less pressure. These different nozzles with their different pressures can be useful for different tasks.
If the smaller hose of the nozzle becomes clogged, the more clogged it becomes, the smaller the hole becomes, which means higher pressure. Higher pressure means more work for the engine and the pump. If you are finding the pressure washer is not function as expected we suggest clearing the blockage in your nozzle and prevent over-exerting your pressure washer, follow these few steps.
Remove the nozzle, if you clear the blockage without taking the nozzle off, it’ll likely just clog again, using the spray tip cleaning tool or a straightened paperclip try digging and poking the blockage backwards out of the hole. Hold the nozzle by the sides with the front of the nozzle facing you. Using the spray tip cleaning tool or the paperclip, try pushing the clog back the way it came. Rinse the nozzle thoroughly front and back; replace the nozzle and go.
If the nozzle remains clogged, remove it and try clearing it out again. Just remember that reversing the clog is the best way to unclog it. Push it back the way it came from. If you have a lot of trouble getting it unclogged, try soaking it in hot water and then attempt it again.
If you are using an extension cord then use a 25' 12 gauge. If you really need to push it then a 50' 12 or 10 gauge but if you notice any loss in performance, stop using the cord immediately. We recommend nothing longer than 50'.
Lastly, if the pressure washer pulsates and the water stream is intermittent turn the pressure washer off and continue to bleed air out of the system.
If there is anything we can help with, do not hesitate to let us know. We can be reached at 1-888-909-6757 or by email on info@greenworkstools.com
This is terrible! I am trying to pressure wash my front stoop and it will wash for about 2 mins and then flip the internal gfci in the unit. Not the switch in the outlet or my breaker. It is the only thing plugged in and no extension cord. I have had to reset it more than 20x to just halfway wash a 4x6 cement pad. Never, ever buy this product
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Frustrated_Jenn
We are very sorry to hear your 2200 PSI pressure washer is not performing. We completely understand why you're frustrated and we'd love to help turn this around. Please be sure to give us a call directly at 888-909-6757 or send us an email on info@greenworkstools.com. We look forward to hearing from you
The value of the 1600 PW is great does everything i need in a residential setting. I like the looks its light works well two nozzels turbo was terrific on the pavers and uad the 45 on compioste decking that had years of neglect. Very happy! Seems very durable.
I received this early last spring & I use it constantly. My gas powered washers sits & it is collecting spider webs. This has to be the easiest power washer I have ever used.
I bought this a year ago and we have used it to wash the car, the grill, the inside shower stall, the exterior of the house, driveway and the outdoor furniture. It is not as powerful as gas model but starts every time you plug it in. Easy to handle and light weight does a really good job. Great warranty.
Easy to use right out of the box. The diagrams posted on the unit are great reminders in case you forget the various steps of operation.
The unit is ideal for home and small shop cleaning. You aren't going to blow dried asphalt off concrete with this unit but overall, it is perfect for home use, including cleaning driveways, decks and sidewalks. I had serious reservations about an electric pressure washer since usually, a gas operated unit will win the cleaning battle but this one does a terrific job.
I won this several months ago and live having the convenience of gaving my own power sprayer. My neighbors live to have it available as well as we deal with. Lot of cobwebs here. Thanks so much for this great product!
