This is a great pressure washer for a home owner. I also bought the 11" surface cleaner for our driveway and walks. It's NOT a giant commercial unit. It is easy to pull out and use and put away, which is what I wanted.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Long Term Durability Bad!

I got this unit back in September 2018. It was working great for the last couple years. I really enjoyed it as it was easy to use, portable and light. Also, got good pressure out of a small unit. Unfortunately, recently I went to plug it in and it started making a bunch of clicking noises in the plug. I tried several other outlets, extension cords, no extension cords, etc. Did the same thing on all of them. The unit will not turn on now. I tried resetting the trip on the plug, and nothing still. I also reached out to customer service and did not hear back. I really did like this when it was working, I have several other Greenworks products. So I'm extra disappointed when this broke. Hopefully it can be resolved soon!

Not dispensing soap
on June 22, 2020

I purchased this washer new about 3yrs ago. At the time it was the highest pressure electric washer. Did a great job washing the house and deck. I store the washer indoors due to freezing VT winter temperatures. Last year soap was not dispensing when using my long extension wand. This year it has finally totally quite dispensing soap from the reservoir. Knock on wood...I have not had some of the other problems mentioned, but not being able to dispense soap pretty much defeats the purpose of a pressure washer. Searching internet for parts and information is not turning up much. All the parts commonly offered are the cheap plastic bits and pieces. And all the advice in the manual and Greenworks site is basically worthless tank clogged, filter clogged, don't use bleach, drain the tank after use. I always use quality pressure washing detergent and dilute 50/50 with only water, never bleach. I do industrial equipment maintenance so I'm quite certain I know what I'm doing. The lack of information and lack of replacement parts is discouraging. If the reviews on this page were available 3 years ago I never would have bought it. I understand and occasional low rating but when nearly every review is a 1 or 2 star...that right there should tell you something about the product. Oh yeah, on final note...I pretty sure that Greenworks is aware of the low pressure soap dispensing problem because they now have a high pressure soap dispenser that attaches to the high pressure wand. That won't do me any good when using with an extension wand to reach the 2nd floor and roof gable peaks. I only use my washer 1-2 a year to do my house and deck. This should not have been worn out after only a few uses. Next purchase is likely to be a gas powered model from a brand with high quality reputation with readily available replacement parts and rebuild kits.
The problem is that there is not enough suction being created to dispense the soap. Even plain water does not dispense from the tank. Need a rebuild kit for the pump head. My old Karcher washer had pump head rebuild kits. Seems like all Greenworks wants to do is have you buy a new washer and throw the old one away...not very "green". I'm not buying a new Greenworks pressure washer every year.
The main reason this got a 2-star is because the high pressure still seems to be working well. It will blast away a lot of crud. Value and durability are only 1-star. Too bad that one of the most powerful electric washer is such a low durability and low value product.

Hello JohnE,
Thank you for the detailed review and taking the time to share your experience.
We're sorry for your troubles. Please make sure to clean out the soap nozzle 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. Make sure the right detergent is being used and diluted according to the detergent bottle. Check to make sure the line is clear. If soap has been left in the tank for a period, make sure to clean it out. If there's residue try adding a cup or so of hot water in the soap tank to loosen it and then run the unit with an attached clean soap 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 this information has not helped, please contact us at info@greenworkstools.com.
*Please be advised due to the current pandemic COVID-19 we're experiencing delays and longer than normal wait times. We thank you for your patience and understanding.*

Love the product.

I liked this product so much I bought one for my parents and grandparent. Like "all" pressure washers, you have to take care of hose and avoid pulling on it to create kinks, but for the price point it cant be beat. Great power. My favoorite part is the reel for the hose. so much easier than traditional hose you have to loop.

I bought just over 2 years ago. Worked well I was very happy. Drained and stored. Next season again was a champ, but this time when i drained and stored the aluminum pump broke. This is a huge problem for them. One piece pump and motor means it is a throw away. Even stored properly it broke. They are aware and don't care, they say we have a 1- year warranty........ Well by the time you use store and need to use again you will have a paper weight and no warranty
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I’ve only used this twice so far but it works great and well worth the cost! Very powerful. The only issue is that the soap doesn’t seem to dispense very well.
