Quit working after second use

I had purchased a driveway cleaner that was not compatible with my old pressure washer, so I bought this unit because the adaptability of the wands.
Was easy to assemble and worked great the first time I used it.
During the second use, I had to switch outlets - the cord is not long enough to reach the end of my driveway or my sidewalk from the garage outlet (it either needs a longer cord or needs to be able to be used with an extension cord).
Plugged it in to an exterior outlet and it would not start. Tried the reset process with the cord - nothing! Let it set for a few minutes - just in case - and still would not work.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello jimdago
We are sorry to hear that you have experienced an issue with this unit. This is certainly concerning and Greenworks takes matters such as this very seriously. We would be happy to help! Kindly contact GreenWorks at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS).
A bit of internet shopping turned up this 2300 psi unit as the best value-for-dollar among consumer-grade electric units. Our pressure-washing needs are irregular (car washing; sidewalk, driveway and deck cleaning), so a gas model was ruled out early; too much maintenance to keep a gas engine healthy if it is used infrequently. This electric model is just what we needed. It's quiet, the power is more than enough, it's very easy to use and store, and it comes with everything needed to do household chores quickly and safely.
Just used it for the first time today. Working on dried baked in old bird droppings on a rock slab patio. Over all it did a good job. Presoaking helped. It got all of it up on most rocks, and most of it on the others. It looks 100% better. Works great on cleaning concrete patio and walks. Tried it on some furniture stain my wife spilled on the patio without success, but didn’t expect it to. Did a good job on the alge in the bird bath and dog drinking bowl. It’s not a 5000psi commercial tool, but didn’t expect it to be. Easy to assemble and use. I give it a five for what I need it for.
Ive owned a smaller GW 1600 psi PW before and it lasted me 3 years detailing cars (about 60 per year alone with my own 3 cars) . Went to the Big R that lasted almost a year. Back to GW now and Im loving this 1800 psi and cart!
For the time that this pressure washer was working, it did an amazing job. It’s quiet, the GPM was excellent. and the power on this machine Amazing. Unfortunately after 5 month’s of use a gasket blew inside the pump and water started leaking everywhere. This is why I gave it three stars instead 5. However things do happen. If want to buy this model go right ahead it will get job done
I bought this last year and used to power-wash my home and deck. This year I had an issue with the motor not triggering on and the folks in service (shout out to Tatiana!) were beyond amazing and got me up and running in no time! They stand behind their products and I would highly recommend selecting Greenworks not only for a pressure washer, but other products as well.
