Pressure washer is awesome. Super easy to use, lightweight and easy to haul around. I use it for cleaning muddy mountain bikes and especially the fishing boat. It blasts off week old fish guts and chum no problem! Great purchase. I read some of the less complimentary reviews and most of those folks clearly never read the directions for startup. Great product, I definitely recommend it!
Bought this over 3 years ago because it stated it was more powerful than the 1500 or 1600 model. I have a two-story house and wanted to reach the apex in the roof (wasp nest) and gave the lower model to my sister with a one-story house. Not better, had to use a ladder and the water goes in so fast or not going out fast enough from the container, I had to tape it down with duct tape. The water shoots out the little hole on top.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello HJMcNair,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that this pressure washer is not fully meeting your expectations. If the unit is not reaching high pressure, there are some factors that could contribute to this. Please check the following if your unit is not reaching high pressure. • That you are using a 1” (25 mm) or 5/8” (16 mm) garden hose. • Ensure that there are no kinks, leaks, or blockages at the inlet filter, in the garden, or a high-pressure hose. • That the water supply has been fully opened and is ideally 60 PSI (unit tolerates 45-75PSI). • That a high-pressure nozzle is installed. • Make sure that there is no air in the pump. Purge the unit by turning the machine off and pulling the gun trigger for a few minutes to release the pressure then try turning the unit on. • Clean your nozzles thoroughly with vinegar and water soak to remove calcium build-up.
If you are looking to reach the second story of your home, we would advise purchasing a designated second-story nozzle. While we do not currently offer one, you may purchase one from another brand that utilizes a 1/4" quick connect fitting.
I'm writing this review for my 12 year old son. He has started his own local car detailing business and uses his pressure washer to clean car exteriors. These are his words, although I may have cleaned up some of the grammar a bit :)
My green Works pressure washer is an amazing tool. It’s the only Pressure washers we’ve had, and the only ones we’ll ever need. We have two but we’re consider getting more, that’s how good and reliable the Greenworks tools are. setting up the machines were extremely easy. We have had no problems at all. It’s very portable unlike other pressure washers and quiet, not ear deafening! Just overall a very nice and neat tool.
Blasted the mildew off my deck and siding with ease. Does the job as I intended it for. Electrical cord of 35 feet is adequate length. Will add a second floor nozzle to reach better height
When our race cars come back from the race track covered in brake dust, tire rubber, caked in dirt, grass, and everything in between, THIS is the pressure washer we reach for. Not only is it compact and easy to use, but it’s just as powerful as any old pressure washer we’ve used in the past. With it being electric instead of gas powered, we love that we can use it inside and it’s not any louder than the machines we use on a daily basis. It’s also so convenient to store, that we can easily load it in any of our trailers. The only downside to this unit is when we want to use it outside, we have to be close to an electrical outlet or use an extension cord.
I BOUGHT ONE OF THESE ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. SO FAR IT'S DONE A GOOD JOB CLEANING THINGS UP. WHILE THE PRESSURE ISN'T AS GREAT AS SOME, IT DOES A GOOD JOB AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CUTTING THROUGH VINYL SIDING AND STILL CLEANS WELL WITHOUT DAMAGING THE SURFACES. GOOD WASHER!
