I love everything about this pressure washer- including & especially the warranty. It has a lot of versatility in the nozzles & a lot of PSI. The cradle that the handle sits in does not “hold” it securely, it perpetually falls out, hence the one star deduction
A bit too much pressure washer for a small print shop

A pressure washer is a staple piece of equipment in any screenprinting shop, so this is a printshop-specific review (because that's what I'm using it for).
I wanted something a bit more powerful than the standard, portable, 1500psi pressure washers that are on the market, and this definitely fits the bill. It's super powerful, and makes washing out exposed screens, and reclaiming old screens a breeze.
The only major drawbacks are space and noise. If you have some extra room in your washout area, it won't be a problem, but if you have a tight space, stick with a smaller, portable option (this is about 3-4 times the size). The motor runs continuously when it's turned on, which can get irritating if you're waiting a couple minutes for screens to burn. It also has a release valve, so if you let it idle for a couple minutes, it'll start spitting water on your floor.
I think it would be ideal for a larger volume printshop that has a dedicated pressure washer for reclaiming screens. Overall, it's a great washer, but if you have a smaller shop, you probably don't need much more than a small, portable model. I've only had it a few weeks, but I'm curious to see how long it holds up. Most of the portable ones I've had over the years burn out after a year or so.
I was expecting to be underwhelmed by the power compared to a gas pressure washer, I was incorrect. It is solid, it isn't as loud, and I no longer have to deal with gasoline. Overall I am pretty pleased with this. I won't be using it to blast concrete off construction equipment but I can't think of a single at home use this wouldn't fit the bill for. Good machine. I can't speak to the durability yet but I think it will be fine for a long while. I will update later if that changes, however I do not think it will break or wear out any time soon.
I bought this pressure washer a month ago to wash dirt bikes and home patio furniture, it works very well. The motor shuts off when you let off trigger. It’s very quiet also.
As advertised. I researched all available power washers in this class. Boiled it down to three and selected this Greenworks for it's quality, accessories and positive reviews.
