I purchased the pressure washer as a late Christmas present. I have used it multiple times. I enjoy the convenience of it being electric. Very powerful tool to assist in cleaning surfaces around my home.
I bought this pressure washer expressly for washing our cars. It's light weight and small size are just what I wanted so it could be stored easily without taking up much room. I've owned several other makes of electric power washers in the past, and the one common issue I have with them is the ear piercing scream every one of them makes when they power up. To my amazement, this little Greenworks unit does not make that sound! Not only is there no high pitched scream, but it's amazingly quiet overall, and the pressure is just right for car detailing. I added a quick connect kit for the hoses, and it takes just a few minutes to get it up and running, and the same when I break it down. The one drawback to EVERY small power washer unit regardless of make, is the hose. I replace them right away with a better unit. That aside, this is my hands down favorite small pressure washer I have ever seen and would buy another in a second.
I've had an electric pressure cleaner before. It was a disaster. Didn't have enough pressure. This unit is great and easy to set up. The storage for cord and hose make it easy to store too. Love the unit.
I bought the pressure washer last month but have not been able to use it much due to the cold weather. However, I did have a 3 hour usage of it last weekend and it worked like a charm. I was a bit hesitant at first because I had made the connections and could get nothing to happen, not even the pressure working up in the machine. I was surprised that when I pulled the trigger to see if that did any good, presto, the machine worked and continued working for 3 hours. I was the one that wore out, not the pressure washer. Just waiting for warmer weather to do some more work with it. Hesitant in the beginning but well satisfied now.
Used it maybe about 20 times over the course of a year and a half. Plug now hums, unit does not turn on. Bad transformer in plug? Really frustrating.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Tvc895,
We're very sorry to hear about this issue. Please contact our product specialists at 1-888-909-6757 so that our team can appropriately assist you with this matter. We ask that you have access to the unit, nozzle, and hose at the time of your call so that we can complete troubleshooting and gather all necessary unit details.
We bought one if these a months ago and it's been great. Purchased a second to give as a Christmas gift. It's very easy to use and we prefer electric over gas - it's much quieter and it's easy to plug in and go. We find that 1500-1800PSI is perfect for cleaning around our house. We've used it on a concrete patio, a plastic shed, and a wood deck (to clean before painting it).
Oil leak after 2 hours of operation & support contact issues

I purchased this pressure washer a few months ago & used it for about 2 hours. Very pleased with everything about it. After sitting in the garage for a few months, I went out to use it & found a pool of oil under it (perhaps 4 tablespoons) that had leaked from the forward area of the motor assembly. I have not been able to make contact using the 888-908-6757#. Each of numerous call responded either busy or not a working #. There is no information in the manual showing how to check oil level & I don’t want to use it until the situation is addressed. Tough to rate product until I can contact & evaluate support.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
