I hate my old gas powered 3hp 2.5 gal/min 2700psi pressure washer. It's really loud, smelly, vibrates itself in a circle on a flat surface and is no fun to start. But it does clean like crazy and I have a 300' driveway and lots of surface pavers around the house that need cleaning. I tried a lower power electric washer but had to return it because it could not come close to the cleaning level I need. When I saw the Greenworks Pro 3000psi electric pressure washer I thought if this one can't do it, I'm stuck with the gas burner, so I ordered it. It was easy to put together and the wand with various tips works really well. I also ordered a 12" surface cleaner to go with it that works great. I have an old 15" surface cleaner, but it requires more gal/min to work effectively than the GW3000 can produce. I am very impressed with the Pro3000 so far, it's quiet, smooth running and just keeps going. I've had it running continuously for hours while using the surface cleaner on my driveway, it never faltered. To be honest, when surface cleaning, it's not as powerful as the old gas burner. I have to allow more time for the same job, but the tradeoff is worth it; no more ear plugs, no more smoke, no more hard starts. Using just the wand with any of the tips seems to be just as effective as the old gas unit. Given they both produce about the same pressure, it's the volume that makes the difference when surface cleaning. The gas burner was rated at 2.5 gal/min while the Pro 3000 is rated at 1.1 gal/min. For surface cleaning I recommend using a wand extension to save your back. I love the fact I can stand it up in the garage, so it takes half the space of the old gas unit. I have a good collection of 80v battery powered Greenworks Pro tools, blower, lawn mower, string trimmer, chain saw. They all work well and even though the Pro3000 doesn't use batteries, it's a great addition to the set.
I'm very pleased with the pressure washer. It's exactly what i hoped it would be. I was looking for an electric pressure washer with at least 3000 PSI because i didn't want to deal with the maintenance issues of a gasoline pressure washer. This product deliverred big time! It's got very decent power for being electric and it's surprisingly quiet compared to other electric washers I've had in the past. It comes with plenty of various spray nozzles, which gives me control over the width and intensity of the flow of water. The wand hose is top quality and will not kink, which is great! I had one small problem when i first used it. The threaded hose connector leaked, but i was able to fix it by tightening the fitting hex bolt on the washer where you connect the hose. Other than that, the washer has been running like a champ!
So far I really enjoy how well it works, house a three day job, car and truck. Turbo really does the job on my deck. Amazing.

Hello Michael Strine
Happy to hear you are enjoying the pressure washer. We would love to offer some tips to help care for the pressure washer. When storing your pressure washer over the winter or for longer than 30 days, make sure it will be ready for your next cleaning project. Your manual will have specifics. Here are some general procedures:
• Store the pressure washer in a dry area, protected from freezing temperatures and other extreme weather. • Keep it away from heat sources that could dry out the pump seals. • Use a pump lubricant/antifreeze. A pump protector is liquid Anti-Freeze formulated to prolong the life of your pressure washer; the product can be found at most hardware stores. If you cannot do the Optimum Winterizing procedure, you can still protect your pressure washer from winter damage by disconnecting all water connections. Turn on the machine for a few second, until the remaining water in the pump exits. Turn off immediately. • Do not allow high-pressure hose to become kinked. • Store the machine and accessories in a room that does not reach freezing temperatures.
If it ends up that you are having an issue with the pressure washer, please contact our Customer Support at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS), and we would be happy to assist you further in remedying an issues. Thank you for your feedback.
Works better than expected. Easy setup, use and storage. Powerful and reliable. So far I have used for cleaning gutters, stripping wooden chairs and metal patio set, cleaning concrete patio, mower deck and cars. Excellent performance and quality hose and parts. Good length hose and electrical cord. Only defect was a kink in the plastic detergent hose because too short so I added the foamer to the wand!
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!
