I never used, let alone, bought a pressure washer until now. First use was to clean my driveway and well it did a fantastic job! I then used the soap dispenser and cleaned the exterior of my house and again worked great. Has plenty of power to do what pressure washers are designed to do. Thanks for building such a great little machine.
I made the mistake of reading the reviews after my purchase. I was getting angry because I had to reset the circuit breaker every thirty seconds. After doing all the normal checks and balances I knew it was not working normal. That prompted me to visit the website to see if I was missing something and Unfortunately I was, All the same bad reviews I was experiencing. I did not call the 888 number knowing that I already went through the process of eliminating anything on my end, No extension chord, circuit breaker works perfect. Most of all the house is 7 months old and all the circuits are the new style. So my advice if your reading this is to not buy this model. It looks great and attracted me but the design is poor. The excuses of why its tripping so much are even worse. Do not purchase this model you will be disappointed. Im bringing it back tomorrow with receipt in hand. Greenworks my humble advice would be to take this off the market and redesign it. It looks great but performs sub par.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Got this to replace a 2600 psi gas-powered washer that I couldn't start any more. This unit did the job of cleaning my patio bricks just as well as the old washer and used half the water to do it (1.2 gpm vs 2.5 gpm). No more yanking on a starter cord!
I purchased my unit about 15 months ago. I really don't have any complaints with its performance. It is important that you read the manual prior to operating for the first time. I would like to see some changes in the soap tank. If you need to change soaps you have to essentially run the existing soap thru thus creating waste.
My 1600 works great. The only problem I’ve had with it was the soap/ solution attachment wouldn’t attach. All other attachments work and I’ve had it 4 years and really just use and put it away .
Oh my! Just fired up my new power washer to clean my farm truck, that sits-out all winter, up at my camp in NC.
Now, I've worked in construction all my life and I know quality tools. I also have a big gas run washer at my home in FL.
Pound for pound, the electric 1600 is miles above my gas driven washer monster. Literally plug it in and off you go. Simple to use, quiet, light and compact. Powerful enough to remove the winter crud from my truck, without taking the finish down to the bare metal. Did have a little difficulty installing the soap dispenser, but once I studied the picture in the Instruction Manuel I realized it replaces the outer end of the wand (easy, dripless switch between the two).
