I've used my pressure washer about 4 times a year to wash the driveway, stucco, and pool decking. It works great for around the home. The only problem is the hoses are prone to kink and once the do the jacket is weakened and the hose will fail soon after. I am on my 3rd hose.
This is a light weight pressure washer, but VERY powerful for the size. This is my second one. The first one we burned up and the second one is still going strong. I did have to replace the hose because it sprung a leak while using, however it was well worth it! I had my first one for three years and now going on three years for my second one.
Went to replace hose and the Handle was corroded on water nozzle, not totally surprised by that. But the way the hose would always get Kinks and never be Easy to keep kink free without going over it multiple times was very disturbing. The hose eventually blew a leek that was unfixable. Went to take nozzle odd and it snapped, again I’ll take fault for that. Bought new hose and nozzle not realizing certain electric nozzle was needed. Into this machine near 100 already this year and still not sure what I’m going to get. Very quick to blow whatever fuse box it’s connected too. Just not happy with it, right now.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Ryguy973
Hello there, We're sorry to hear you are having issue you are having with our 2200 PSI pressure washer. Over time with use, the pressure washer nozzles may collect dust, dirt and calcium build-up which as a result cause the pressure washer to malfunction while in use. To solve this problem, you can 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 hot water. Your nozzles will now be free of any obstructions causing the unit to malfunction.
If you find that this suggestion does not yield results, please contact GreenWorks at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or by email on info@greenworkstools.com. We are here to help.
After only a few uses the wand is leaking. Determined its not the o rings. Opened up the wand and water is spraying out from the seam where two parts are molded together. It appears you have to buy a whole new wand which is a third of the cost of the machine and not in stock. I guess you get what you pay for. I bought this for weight savings and small jobs. Save your money and buy one that will last more than a few uses.
This is a a great unit for the homeowner. I've had my gas pressure washer in for expensive service twice in the past two years. I've always used ethanol-free gas and fuel stabilizer...no more! Picked this one up yesterday and restored 50 feet of fence in no time. It does a great job and works as well as my comparable gas pressure washer.
But this machine last year used It 2 or 3 times started it up today and a piece was broken on it don't know if it happened over the winter or when letting pressure build up it broke Like some of the other reviewers have mentioned. Can't seem to find a replacement part, It's sad we spent so much money for only a few uses.

I’ve switched over to all electric and was hoping I could find a powerful washer. I have had a greenworks mower and decided to try this unit out. You will not regret it! Great build quality! No leaks, instant on... no hassle of maintenance, etc. I’m extremely happy with it.
The machine is great for small jobs around the yard. Excellent for car washing. Not enough power to quickly pressure wash a sidewalk or driveway. Biggest con was that after only one month of use, the connection where the water hose attaches to the unit LEAKS AND SPRAYS WATER LIKE CRAZY! I needed something quick and cheap, so its good for the price, however, I wish I would have waited and got a gas unit with more power.
