My experience was the same as Craig O's. I purchased the 2300 psi electric pressure washer, model # GPW2300 back on 4-17-19. The high pressure hose connector sheared off. It's a poor design relying on very thin aluminum. Like Craig O., I was very careful using the Power Washer- it was never abused. Making matter worse, entering the part number I would need to replace into the Greenworks search engine produced no results; the Chat window put me into an irrelevant loop; Help called back, but the product isn't supported after expiration of the three year warrant.y It's not an item you take to the repair shop, so they don't supply parts. This is bothersome because an otherwise working product in perfect condition becomes a candidate for landfill waste over a minor part that lasts about the length of the warranty period.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This was one of the easiest pressure washers I have assembled. The quality feels heavy duty and really didn't need the instructions at all. This is my first Greenworks products so looking forward to seeing the kind of longevity it has. I really needed something to detail my cars, but also pressure wash our patio and sidewalks. This pressure washer seemed to fit the bill better than any others I could find. Most were either aimed at detailing cars with a high GPM and low PSI or visa versa.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Environmentally Safe
I've owned this for a few years and it works pretty well for a light duty residential use, washing cars, patio furniture, etc. I struggled a bit with it on the deck as it didn't produce enough pressure with the surface cleaner attachment I had. I could use the 15° nozzle but it would take an eternity. If you have a large deck, driveway, or pool deck you are planning on cleaning I would look for something else. It's a bit fiddly to move around with the location of the hose and cord attachment points, that seems like it could have been thought out better. The lag for the pump to spool up can be a bit annoying as well, but for occasional use it's workable. I found myself limited by the extension cord more than I thought I would be, plus you now have three hoses/lines to deal with when trying to move it around instead of just two. This spring when I went to get it out I found that the casting on the pressure side of the pump was broken, I have no idea how it happened as it was working when I put it away last and hasn't been disturbed.

Hello KevinV
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. These parts can sometimes crack when the pump was not properly winterizing / stored and the water froze, expanded, and damaged a piece of the brass. We would recommend contacting Greenworks directly through chatbot on www.greenworkstools.com that will direct you to a live agent or call us 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) for a proper evaluation. This is not a difficult part to replace, so it should be a fairly smooth process. Your Greenworks pressure comes standard with a 3-year (homeowner) Greenworks limited warranty from date of purchase.
Bought the pressure washer in the morning and had my deck in top shape that day. This pressure washer is more powerful, better built, and much lighter than the previous one I owned. The larger wheels and lighter pressure washer made the stair climb effort easy. The metal frame meant less worry about cracking a plastic housing. I was able to clean the dirt with the 40 degree nozzle. It should be noted that I do not use anything other than water to clean my deck - no soaps, bleaches, deck washes, etc.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Durable, Effective, Powerful
