I received this early last spring & I use it constantly. My gas powered washers sits & it is collecting spider webs. This has to be the easiest power washer I have ever used.
I bought this a year ago and we have used it to wash the car, the grill, the inside shower stall, the exterior of the house, driveway and the outdoor furniture. It is not as powerful as gas model but starts every time you plug it in. Easy to handle and light weight does a really good job. Great warranty.
Easy to use right out of the box. The diagrams posted on the unit are great reminders in case you forget the various steps of operation.
The unit is ideal for home and small shop cleaning. You aren't going to blow dried asphalt off concrete with this unit but overall, it is perfect for home use, including cleaning driveways, decks and sidewalks. I had serious reservations about an electric pressure washer since usually, a gas operated unit will win the cleaning battle but this one does a terrific job.
I won this several months ago and live having the convenience of gaving my own power sprayer. My neighbors live to have it available as well as we deal with. Lot of cobwebs here. Thanks so much for this great product!
My uncle bought one and he is soo in love with his new tool. It works great, Awesome pressure it comes with everthing u need. If he swears by this product then I seriously need my own
Works great, only few months old but it won’t star

I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Diego Alas
Thank you for sharing your experience for this Greenworks 1950 PSI Electric Pressure. We are sorry to hear your pressures washer is not starting.
Here are some tips that may help:
If the pressure washer pulsates and the water stream is intermittent turn the pressure washer off and continue to bleed air out of the system.
Pressure washer nozzles come in different styles. Nozzles with smaller holes put out more pressure, and nozzles with bigger holes put out less pressure. These different nozzles with their different pressures can be useful for different tasks.
If the smaller hose of the nozzle becomes clogged, the more clogged it becomes, the smaller the hole becomes, which means higher pressure. Higher pressure means more work for the engine and the pump. If you are finding the pressure washer is not function as expected we suggest clearing the blockage in your nozzle and prevent over-exerting your pressure washer, follow these few steps.
Remove the nozzle, if you clear the blockage without taking the nozzle off, it’ll likely just clog again. Using the spray tip cleaning tool or a straightened paperclip, try digging and poking the blockage backwards out of the hole. Hold the nozzle by the sides with the front of the nozzle facing you. Using the spray tip cleaning tool or the paperclip, try pushing the clog back the way it came. Rinse the nozzle thoroughly front and back Replace the nozzle and go.
If the nozzle remains clogged, remove it and try clearing it out again. Just remember that reversing the clog is the best way to unclog it. Push it back the way it came from. If you have a lot of trouble getting it unclogged, try soaking it in hot water and then attempt it again. If you are using an extension cord then use a 25' 12 gauge. If you really need to push it then a 50' 12 or 10 gauge but if you notice any loss in performance, stop using the cord immediately. We recommend nothing longer than 50'.
We hope these suggestions help!

In addition to the front plastic piece arriving broken, so one corner is free, the GFI trips. This happens after about 15 minutes of use, then trips every few minutes afterwards. I've seen the other reviews and your canned reply of "The unit is rated for use with a 20-30A supply which is the standard code for all modern buildings in North America. Some older buildings with lower supply may experience these issues due to the power of the unit." This is NOT true, the standard in residential homes is 15 or 20 amps. Standard wiring is 12 awg or 14 awg in homes or 15/20 amp circuits respectively. I suspect that the GFI/Plug are not properly designed for this product since the pressure washer is tripping, not the home circuits. I tried using this on a brand new 20A breaker with 12 awg wiring, about 3 feet from my electrical panel and it still tripped the GFI on the pressure washer. I have NEVER seen standard outlets in a home wired with 10 awg wiring, which is the minimum for a 30A circuit.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
