I recently purchased this 3000 psi pressure washer almost one month ago. I wanted a more compact yet powerful pressure washer that was electric. I have cleaned about 2,000 sf of hardscape to date and I am very impressed with the performance and ease of use. I would highly recommend this product. If I were to change one feature on this pressure washer it would be the length of the hose from 25ft to 50ft. Lastly, it is extremely easy to assemble and fairly lightweight if you need to haul it around.
I bought this last year and used it three times.Always applied water before powering up.I was pressure washing today and it just quit out of nowhere.No power at all.My brother bought one last year also and his just quit out of nowhere.For the price it worked well but I will not buy another one.I can hire someone every year for what I paid for this junk!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Rmadd,
Sorry to hear about this experience! If air has gotten trapped in the pump, this may prevent the unit from powering on. Set up the unit as per usual and ensure you are not using an extension cord. Remove any nozzle that may be connected at the end of the wand. Make sure that you have a green light on the GFCI on the power cord. Turn your garden hose on but leave the pressure washer turned OFF. With the pressure washer turned off, squeeze on the trigger for about 3 minutes – allowing the water to run through the unit at no pressure. In doing so, you are bleeding the unit out of any air that may be stuck in the pump. After 3 minutes, turn the unit on. If it is running, reinstall one of your clean nozzles and continue using the unit. If the issue does not resolve, please contact us at 1-888-909-6757 or submit an email to info@greenworkstools.com and include the headline "Help Request - Reviewer Response".
I bought this pressure washer after using noisy hard to start gasoline washers for over 40 years. This is a dream come true, every time I squeeze the trigger it works and it works well. It’s a tremendous value for the price and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s environmentally conscious. Great product!
I bought one of these about 4 years ago and use it every week to wash the vehicles, and several homes every year. Never had any issues. Still going strong.
Replaced gas PW with this electric one, so far it's great!

I replaced a gas 3000 psi pressure washer with this 2300 psi electric. I was a little skeptical the strength would not be enough, but after doing a driveway, sidewalk, and lots of brick and stone it's performed great. The reason for the switch to electric was my wife wanted to contribute to pressure washing but the gas pressure washer was not manageable. This is compact, light, and very easy to use. We're only using this around our house, which is under trees in florida, so lots of algae and mildew to clean, and this is a great fit. I would recommend it for homeowners.
I bought this pressure washer last spring 2020 to start a project on my fence. I’ve used it several times and loved its power and convenience. Now it is fall 2021 and started to use the pressure washer to clean a car, it made a terrible grinding noise and quit working. Pretty dissatisfied with the product for the price and length of use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Aptoolman,
We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing an issue with your pressure washer. Unfortunately, your review is not detailed enough for us to know what the issue is, but we will try to cover all bases. Here you will find some troubleshooting suggestions for you to try. Cleaning Obstructed Nozzles: To clean the nozzles, soak all your nozzles in a half and half mixture of warm water and white vinegar. Soak all the nozzles for about an hour and then proceed to poke your nozzle cleaning tool or paper clip through the end of the nozzle hole to poke out any debris. After you have done this, rinse them with warm water. Your nozzles will now be free of any obstructions causing the unit to malfunction. Removing Air from The Line / Bleeding Out the Unit: Purge any excess air from the pump. Set up the unit as per usual and ensure you are not using an extension cord. Remove any nozzle that may be connected at the end of the wand. Make sure that you have a green light on the GFCI on the power cord. Turn your garden hose on but leave the pressure washer turned OFF. With the pressure washer turned off, squeeze on the trigger for about 3 minutes – allowing the water to run through the unit at no pressure. In doing so, you are bleeding the unit out of any air that may be stuck in the pump. After 3 minutes, turn the unit on. If it is running, reinstall one of your clean nozzles and continue using the unit. Lastly, ensure that the water source is fully opened and is at least 60PSI. There should be 10' of unrestricted garden hose between the hose connection and the unit, any kinks will prevent the flow of water going into the unit and prevent proper pressure. If you have tried these steps and are still experiencing issues, please contact us at 1-888-909-6757 or submit an email to info@greenworkstools.com and include the headline "Help Request - Reviewer Response".
I was reluctant about an electric power washer. I have long driveway in Florida that constantly turns black. I purchased a Ryobi 15 inch circular surface cleaner for a gas model (green works version was out of stock). It powered the accessory and cleaned the driveway flawlessly. I would give it 5 stars, but there are no directions on how to properly use the soap dispenser. Simply says use with low pressure tip.
