I'm old school, so the thought of "electric" + "water" is fundamentally wrong to me. But after buying (and ultimately trashing) two "traditional" gas-powered pressure washers, the GW 1600 was recommended by a co-worker. I've had mine for 5 years and have never had a performance problem! I use it all the time: deck, patio, porch, driveway, pool deck, pool & patio furniture, washing siding & cars... if it's dirty, I'm going to pressure wash that bad boy!
Based on it's small (or "compact" as the marketing department would say) size and light weight, I was prepared to get a year, maybe two out of it and then have to regularly replace it, but the cost math was still better than dropping major $ on a heavy gas monster.
5 years + down the road with my first unit and I've gotten well more than my money's worth!
Easy to assemble and use. Since I had never used one before, it took a little experimenting with the various attachments. The turbo attachment took care of all the green on my white lattice skirting on my shed. I also used it on a small sidewalk but ordered a surface cleaner attachment which should make the rest of that job and driveway much faster. My only complaint came from my trigger finger the next day.
I friend of mine bought me this as a gift for my birthday two years ago and the sparingly used it. the motor housing broke just "Jrands" showed in his review. I called and because I don't have receipt since it was a gift I am not covered under warranty. and they don't have the motor housing to even think of buying a replacement.
this sucks.. would not recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the car detailing kit 2000 PSI 1.1 - gallons cold water electric pressure washer, this particular product is absolutely amazing for the price you pay! you couldn't ask for a better product, I bought this about a week ago and I'm extremely happy that I have it now. Everything from cleaning the vehicles to pressure washing our house, sidewalks, and back patio, This pressure washer does it all!! from the bottom of my heart I want to thank Greenworks company for such a great product at an unbelievable price. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone who is considering purchasing one you will not be disappointed. piecing it together is self explanatory and quick start instructions are easy to understand. I've enjoyed using it thoroughly. Thanks again GREENWORKS. 👍👍
As a former groundskeeper, I spent thousands of hours using both hot and cold water pressure washers. I just wanted something inexpensive and light duty for around my house. It cleaned decades worth of black and green gunk off my patio like night and day! The only caveat is that it's not very powerful, so it's slow going. But on the other hand, you are less like to make the mistakes you might make with a commercial grade machine, like digging into the concrete or taking the paint off something. The rotary nozzle works well. Easy to assemble. With a 3 year warranty, this thing is a no brainer.
I bought the pressure to clean my deck and my deck furniture and umbrella. However, the first time I used it was to clean cushions and umbrellas, and the cement area around our community pool. It worked great! Everything looks new again. The unit was easy to put together and use. I highly recommend this product.
