Hello Diego Alas
Thank you for sharing your experience for this Greenworks 1950 PSI Electric Pressure. We are sorry to hear your pressures washer is not starting.
Here are some tips that may help:
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.
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'.
We hope these suggestions help!

In addition to the front plastic piece arriving broken, so one corner is free, the GFI trips. This happens after about 15 minutes of use, then trips every few minutes afterwards. I've seen the other reviews and your canned reply of "The unit is rated for use with a 20-30A supply which is the standard code for all modern buildings in North America. Some older buildings with lower supply may experience these issues due to the power of the unit." This is NOT true, the standard in residential homes is 15 or 20 amps. Standard wiring is 12 awg or 14 awg in homes or 15/20 amp circuits respectively. I suspect that the GFI/Plug are not properly designed for this product since the pressure washer is tripping, not the home circuits. I tried using this on a brand new 20A breaker with 12 awg wiring, about 3 feet from my electrical panel and it still tripped the GFI on the pressure washer. I have NEVER seen standard outlets in a home wired with 10 awg wiring, which is the minimum for a 30A circuit.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought this 2 weeks ago to do some cleaning around my pool and works great. Easy set up and I love the hose reel for the water line. Definitely would recommend for the price.
We received this as a Christmas gift. We absolutely loved it! The power behind it was amazing & got everything off. Unfortunately I let a neighbor borrow it- I never got it back. So we are saving for a new one.
Bought this at Lowes during the memorial day sale two yesrs ago. Used it for cleaning cars. Underpowered and the pressure tubing kinks a lot. Hoping for a more sturdier and more power for next model

Hello RayRay
Thank you for taking the time to share your feed with us. We are sorry to hear that your 1600 PSI pressure tubes are kinking.
Excessive kinking of the hose can cause damage to the wire reinforcement and weakening the hose, making it more susceptible to failure and blowout. Excessive kinking often occurs when the user treats the hose like a rope and uses it to pull the pump along during cleaning operations. This puts excessive strain on the connection at the pump and can also cause an unreasonable amount of kinking when; for example, the operator uses the hose to pull the pump around corners. This is a particular concern with less flexible varieties of thermoplastic hose. As with other pieces of equipment, hoses should be properly cleaned after each use. Because of the pinpricks in the hose cover, the exterior of the hose is particularly vulnerable to solvents. These tiny holes can allow fluid to enter the hose from the outside. Therefore, hoses should never be allowed to sit in pools of liquid, as some solvents can permeate the hose through the pinpricks and degrade the wire reinforcement. Hoses should also be winterized properly. If water is allowed to remain in the hose under freezing conditions, it is likely to expand, causing damage to the tube or reinforcement. In addition, the metal fittings may freeze and be damaged.
We hope this clarifies the issue you have experienced with your hose. Greenworks offers may varieties of pressure washer and we would love to chat with you about our tools. We invite you to contact us at 888-909-6757 to talk in greater detail about or pressure washer.
