Easy to use and powerful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Replaced my old 2 tank greenworks pressure washer with this one. Pleasantly surprised. This unit takes up a lot less room, it also builds pressure up quickly.
Also electrical cord placement will prevent it from eroding away cord insulation like my previous unit did.

Functions well and easy to use. the 1500 psi was plenty strong enough for what I needed.
Only wish that it came with more nozzle choices and that it had a way to store/hold the cord when not in use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works great - More power than expected

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Instructions are great. Set up is easy to understand and complete. Used on a brick wall that was badly stained along drive way. Both nozzles worked fine. Attached pictures of results. Wall was about 20' by 4' and I finished it in less than 45 minutes. A little machine with great power and results. Photos attached. I was surprised at the power and results from such a small machine. Power cord could be longer to reach further from power source since it is recommended not to use an extension cord.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very capable multi-purpose pressure washer
on November 10, 2017

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this unit in exchanged for my unbiased review.
Unboxing: Pressure washer with two spray tips and 35' power cord with CGFI plug. High pressure hose. Trigger handle with trigger lockout and wand. Detergent tank. Owners manual. Quick start page.
Initial Impression: I was a little surprised by its compact size, approx 19h x 11w x 7d without accessories. I was expecting something larger and heavier. The accessories fit nicely behind the large, top handle of the washer. This well thought out design makes 1 handed carrying quick, light and easy. Another nice feature is the detergent tank that attaches to the trigger handle and the back of the washer when not in use. The water intake is located on the lower left side while the water outlet sits in the bottom center of the unit. The large on/off switch is easy to operate with gloves on.
Performance: I followed quick start page directions and allowed the water to run for 2 minutes with the unit off to purge any air in the system. Connections were a nice tight fit with no leaks. While small and light, this washer packs a decent punch. Now it's not going to strip the paint from your shingles or deep scrub your sidewalk. It doesn't have the psi or proper spray tips for those "heavy duty" type jobs. However, it was more than adequate at cleaning my screened in porch, windows, and wonderful on my cars without the risk of causing damage. The wheels came out sparkling like new and I was able to get to the backside of the rims to clean them. I realize nobody really sees it but I know the grime is there and I was happy to blast it away. Here in FL we also have a problem with certain insect nests attached to the house. This unit did a great job at clearing the black residue these nests leave behind.
Overall I find this to be a great general purpose pressure washer. I'm sure I'll find other uses for it in the near future.
I would recommend this to a friend!

GPW1602

I have a GPW1602. I bought this for the purpose of car washing last summer. I used it about once a month. But, that starts then stops repeatedly how do I fix it.
I works fine for about 1 or 2 minutes then starts then stops repeatedly.
I am looking for parts for repair purposes, but I need to replace the motor assy.
Also, I sent an e-mail to the customer center and they have no answer.

Hello Dongee,
I am sorry to read about your troubles with the GPW1602. The issue you're experiencing sounds as though there might be air in the tank. We do recommend that you purge the unit before use.
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.
If the issue continues to occur after purging, check the pressure of your water line, it should be at least 50 P.S.I which is the standard pressure from a household water line in North America. Make sure the hose is properly secured to the inlet and the clean the nozzle if necessary. Take a paper clip size pin (or similar tool) and use it to clear any debris stuck in the hole as you rinse it under water.
I apologize that you did not hear from us. There may be factors that prevent us from getting your email. Please allow up to 48 hours for response through email. If you have not heard from us by 3 business days, we advise emailing us again at info@greenworkstools.com. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Hello,
Our pressure washers have a one (1) year warranty.
If the pressure washer pulsates and the water stream is intermittent we recommend purging/bleeding the unit.
1. Make sure the garden hose is connected & turned on fully (and make sure there are no kinks in the garden hose or high pressure hose)
2. Hold down gun trigger handle so water runs through the unit - make sure customer takes off any nozzle that may be on at the end of the wand & that the unit is not turned on - hold down for about 3-5 mins
3. While holding gun handle down turn unit on.
Checking that all filters & nozzles are clean.
If you still have questions or an unresolved issue after going through this troubleshooting guide, or just want to speak to a Greenworks product expert, please contact our Greenworks customer service department at 1-888-909-6757 or email us on info@greenworkstools.com

Love this machine
on September 2, 2017

I've owned many of the gasoline power washers that come from the big box stores. I've finally gotten to the point where I needed something that would work without having to rebuild a carburetor year after year. To be frank, I was had some concerns about owning a machine that combined water and electricity, but the Greenworks PW's built in safety features (GFCI) and auto on and off, allayed any concern I had.
The first thing you notice about this machine is it's light weight - very nice if you're going to be power washing all day. Dragging around a 50 plus pound machine will wear you out after working with it all day. The box it comes in is nicely compact and fits easily into any trunk. Assembly is very easy and the provided single page instruction sheet simple to follow. I assembled mine on my bench and completed in roughly 15 minutes. The machine has storage for all components right on board which I like, I don't like having to hunt around for a particular nozzle so this feature is handy. There is also storage for the hose and electrical cable making for a nicely compact piece of equipment. I can probably put three of them where I store my one gas machine right now.
Operations are quiet and easy, you plug it in, add a water hose, soap and go. I find the power wand fits my hand comfortably and I like that the hose connection is on the bottom of the wand rather than the end. This adds balance to the power wand making it easier to use for long periods - like the hours it takes for me to wash my boat! I also like that I don't have to fool with gas every couple of hours or at the end of the season.
Having said all of that I am not sure that this machine would be sturdy enough for heavy duty commercial work but I haven't used it long enough to provide an accrate assessment.. However for the homeowner I highly recommend it, 1800 PSI is plenty of power for DIY operation.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect for my car foam Cannon and quick cleaning

I bought this to mainly detail my car. I find myself using this machine for small jobs all around the house like cleaning out the garage real quick or cleaning off dirt from my exterior walls. Works great for a little guy. Obviously not meant for big heavy duty jobs and which is why it seems like everyone is giving it bad reviews. Anyways. Washes my car great, perfect for my foam Cannon.
I would recommend this to a friend!
