The Turbo Nozzle works great until it doesn't. We got four hours of use out of it with the last hour working off and on. Most frustrating. We tried cleaning it, shaking it and knocking it about a bit to keep that ball or what ever is inside loose. Then it would not do it's turbo thing at all. We have about four more hours work to do so I should probably buy two more to ensure the job gets done ... unless someone has any suggestions.

Hello Jay 17. Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how frustrating it is when a turbo nozzle stops performing properly partway through a job. Based on what you described, this behavior is often caused by debris becoming lodged inside the nozzle, which can restrict the internal rotating component and prevent the “turbo” action from working consistently. In many cases, this can be resolved with a thorough cleaning. We recommend soaking the nozzle in a 50/50 mixture of warm water and white vinegar for about an hour to help break down any buildup. After soaking, gently clear the nozzle using a paper clip or small cleaning tool to remove any remaining debris, then rinse thoroughly with warm water before reattaching. If the issue continues after cleaning, we recommend reaching out to our team for further troubleshooting. They can be reached either using the online chat function, on Greenworks Tools page, accessible by clicking “Chat Now” in the bottom corner of your screen or by calling 1-888-909-6757. We appreciate your feedback and are here to help ensure you are able to get your remaining work completed as smoothly as possible.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works better than other tips on harder stations for sidewalk/drive/etc. Only tip comparable for speed such as the surface cleaners. Definitely not one to use to edge clean to direct build up when cleaning behind your job, but it's not meant for that either.
I read some bad reviews about this product, but I ordered it anyway because the original one lasted 2 years. This replacement didn't last 2 hours before it stopped spinning the water jet. I turn it off, start it again, it lasts for 30 seconds before it malfunctions. I should have heeded the reviews I read. A waste of money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Redmagic
Thank you for taking the time to review your turbo nozzle. Sorry to hear of the problem you are experiencing. The nozzle rotates in a zero-to-15-degree spray pattern in a circular motion to break down tough dirt and grime. The spray pattern can cover area of 4 to 8 inches wide, depending on a distance between the tip and the surface being cleaned. If you are finding the nozzle is not function as expected we suggest clearing the blockage in your nozzle and prevent over-exerting your pressure washer, try soaking the nozzle in a warm solution of 1 part vinegar, 3 parts water, for 30 minutes, to break up any calcification inside. If this does not fix the issue, please submit an email to info@greenworkstools.com and our team will be able to send you further instructions on how to resolve this issue or contact Customer Care at 1-888-909-6757 and we will be happy to assist.
I bought green work power washer last weekend. It worked great to wash deck. The turbo spray tip was amazing at first. After about 30mins it would lose power and shoot single stream in a circle. Would have to stop wait a minute then start again. Everything was brand new don't know if I got faulty part .
I bought this nozzle as a replacement for one I managed to mess up (don't leave the nozzle soaking in vinegar for several days). These nozzles work better than anything I've used before. To get the same results from a standard nozzle you'ld need to use a lot higher water pressure.
