Just purchased Saturday 8/8! Washed two cars and cleaned my driveway! Great power washer!! Construction and very well engineered! Excellent power washer!
I have only used gas powered products in the past so was hesitant to try an electric power washer; however, am so happy I did. The power is incredible and just as powerful as my old 2300 psi gas power washer. This is quiet and very lightweight. I was able to carry this up with me on a ladder to clean out the gutters. The gas power washer was too heavy to do this. I would highly recommend this especially if you aren't sure you want electric vs. gas.
Got this about two weeks ago to replace a gas 2700/2.5 pressure washer. Super impressed! It’s as good as what I had without the need to change the oil or buy gas. Plug and go! I did upgrade to a longer hose, and my only negative is that with this longer hose the pressure washer is not as stable in storage.
I had purchased a driveway cleaner that was not compatible with my old pressure washer, so I bought this unit because the adaptability of the wands.
Was easy to assemble and worked great the first time I used it.
During the second use, I had to switch outlets - the cord is not long enough to reach the end of my driveway or my sidewalk from the garage outlet (it either needs a longer cord or needs to be able to be used with an extension cord).
Plugged it in to an exterior outlet and it would not start. Tried the reset process with the cord - nothing! Let it set for a few minutes - just in case - and still would not work.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I’ve purchased this a week ago to replace a gas powered washer that was becoming more of a pain to start and a inconvenience to refill with gas. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. Quiet, powerful, and convenient.
I used it one time after purchase and it worked nicely to clean the cement patio. Pulled out today to use for the second time and the gfi on plug kept tripping. Tried different outlets. Gfi on cord continued to trip repeatedly. So annoying at this point Thought I’d try green works because I have the weedwacker and love it!

Hello An32952,
Thank you for the feedback. We are sorry to hear about the experience that you have encountered. Unit tripping the circuit breaker, often is caused by a faulty nozzle. Please make sure to clean out the nozzle(s) prior to use. Even a small amount of debris can affect the performance of this unit. Take a small pin and clear out the hole in the nozzle. Prior to each use make sure you purge the unit.
Try following these steps:
The unit should be off. Connect the garden hose to the pressure washer. Connect the high-pressure hose and the spray gun/wand. No nozzle. Turn the water on. Hold down and squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to purge out any water or air from the unit for a good 1 - 2 minutes. This will relieve any built-up pressure. While you're still holding the trigger switch the pressure washer to on.
If these suggestions do not resolve the issue, please contact GreenWorks at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or by email on info@greenworkstools.com, and they will gladly do what they can to help.
A bit of internet shopping turned up this 2300 psi unit as the best value-for-dollar among consumer-grade electric units. Our pressure-washing needs are irregular (car washing; sidewalk, driveway and deck cleaning), so a gas model was ruled out early; too much maintenance to keep a gas engine healthy if it is used infrequently. This electric model is just what we needed. It's quiet, the power is more than enough, it's very easy to use and store, and it comes with everything needed to do household chores quickly and safely.
