Nice Pressure Washer

It's a nice unit; light, sturdy, quiet. The pressure house is not very good. It works fine, but is too stiff with too much memory. Difficult to straighten out for use and difficult to recoil. The holder? Forget about it. I wish it had a more pin point nozzle for fine work. The directions aren't clear regarding the use of the detergent tank. It says it only works with s specific nozzle. Will the soap stop if I switch nozzles.? Do you need to run the tank dry to stop the soap? It's a keeper, even with these aggregations.
Pros: Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad to hear you are enjoying the pressure washer's lightweight design, quiet operation, and cleaning performance. We also appreciate your comments regarding the hose, nozzle options, and detergent system instructions. To help clarify detergent use, the soap tank only dispenses detergent when the designated soap nozzle is installed. If you switch to any of the high-pressure spray nozzles, detergent flow will stop automatically and the unit will spray water only. There is no need to empty the detergent tank to stop soap application. If soap is not dispensing as expected, make sure the soap nozzle is installed correctly and that the detergent pickup tube is fully submerged and free of obstructions. For the pressure hose, laying it out straight for a short period before use can help reduce coil memory and improve handling. We also appreciate your suggestion regarding a more concentrated spray pattern and will share your feedback with our product team. If you would like additional assistance, the Greenworks YouTube channel offers helpful product demonstrations and operating tips. You can also contact our Customer Success team through the online chat feature on the Greenworks Tools website or by calling 1-888-909-6757. They will be happy to answer any questions about nozzle selection, detergent use, or general operation. Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing Greenworks.
Got this pressure washer the other week and just put it together long story short it's a beast for an electric power washer very well built runs super strong night and day from the cheap power washers
Pros: Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Effective, Powerful
Just got done using my new power washer. I cannot be more pleased. This unit is small yet powerful enough to wash the car and patio. We coated our patio surface and they said I needed to not use a strong power washer as it would void the warranty. At the same time we purchased a new car. So we have two new items in our lives that we want to keep clean. I cannot come up with one thing that I dislike. I love the fact that the pump stops running when you release the wand trigger. Why run the pump when you are not washing. I also noticed that the hose got kinked and that also turned the pump off. It is light and easily carried from the garage around the house to the patio. It is perfect for what I purchased it for. Now that I have it I'll think twice before I drag out my large gas powered washer.
Pros: Convenient, Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable
Powerful and portable great for around the house projects

Terrible product. I’ve only used it four times and it will not hold pressure. It just surges low to high pressure every 2 to 3 seconds making it impossible to power wash anything. It’s done this since first use and gets progressively worse each time.

We are sorry to hear about the pressure washer repeatedly surging between low and high pressure, especially since the issue has been present since the first use and has progressively worsened. This type of surging can sometimes be caused by restricted water flow, air entering the system, or a clogged spray nozzle. Before operating the unit, make sure the water supply is fully open, the garden hose is not kinked or restricted, and the water inlet screen and spray nozzle are clean. With the pressure washer turned off and the water supply running, squeeze the spray gun trigger for several minutes to purge trapped air from the pump. If the unit continues to surge every few seconds after these checks, please discontinue use and contact Greenworks Success team directly at 1-888-909-6757 or via our online support portal so we can look into this for you.
We got this pressure washer and have been very happy with how easily it cleans everything and how nice of a job it does on our porch and siding! The original one we got had an issue and the support here was super helpful in covering our warranty and getting us one that works amazing!
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Effective, Powerful
Now I don't have to borrow my neighbor's generic pressure washer. The GW pressure washer has been very versatile, from patio to the GW lawnmower deck. I must admit I didn't buy the floor attachment, didn't have casters.
