Bought this at Lowes during the memorial day sale two yesrs ago. Used it for cleaning cars. Underpowered and the pressure tubing kinks a lot. Hoping for a more sturdier and more power for next model
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello RayRay
Thank you for taking the time to share your feed with us. We are sorry to hear that your 1600 PSI pressure tubes are kinking.
Excessive kinking of the hose can cause damage to the wire reinforcement and weakening the hose, making it more susceptible to failure and blowout. Excessive kinking often occurs when the user treats the hose like a rope and uses it to pull the pump along during cleaning operations. This puts excessive strain on the connection at the pump and can also cause an unreasonable amount of kinking when; for example, the operator uses the hose to pull the pump around corners. This is a particular concern with less flexible varieties of thermoplastic hose. As with other pieces of equipment, hoses should be properly cleaned after each use. Because of the pinpricks in the hose cover, the exterior of the hose is particularly vulnerable to solvents. These tiny holes can allow fluid to enter the hose from the outside. Therefore, hoses should never be allowed to sit in pools of liquid, as some solvents can permeate the hose through the pinpricks and degrade the wire reinforcement. Hoses should also be winterized properly. If water is allowed to remain in the hose under freezing conditions, it is likely to expand, causing damage to the tube or reinforcement. In addition, the metal fittings may freeze and be damaged.
We hope this clarifies the issue you have experienced with your hose. Greenworks offers may varieties of pressure washer and we would love to chat with you about our tools. We invite you to contact us at 888-909-6757 to talk in greater detail about or pressure washer.
I received this pressure washer and tried it out worked then my wife took over she started washing her car then went to my suv after that she thought it was fun The next week she power washed the deck and still thinks it was fun The next week she washed the cars again then went to power wash the concrete l am getting tired of typing on my phone and watch her work time to do something .
Finally found a pressure washer that has enough power spray, is easy to move/transport, and is relatively quiet. I've only used it a handful of times so far, but already know that I like the job it does. Primary use for me is to wash driveways, sidewalks and rock walls.
I bought this about a year ago and I love it. It works great, light weight and easy to use. Don't have to keep putting gas into it. Very portable and I take it a lot of places. Has great pressure and I am glad I bought it. I used to have a gas powered one and I love this one more.
