We bought this with the GPW1951 pressure washer. The set works great for regular cleaning of small areas like our pool deck. You should note that the 120V power source of the pressure washer limits how much flow you get. It runs the two jets in the surface cleaner just fine for small jobs. Bigger jobs like a long driveway will take a long time.
lightweight appliance you can only use with low pressure from the power washer. Takes many runs over same area to clean. Get a high pressure washer and a stronger cleaner. totally worthless
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Fran Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, we’re sad to hear everything didn't go as expected. Greenworks surface cleaner is commonly used to clean large-surface-area spaces made of hard materials. This includes sidewalks, driveways, garage floors decks, and patios to name a few. A traditional pressure washer nozzle can also be used to clean these areas, though this can cause problems. There are many variables to giving the surface an even finish, for instance the actual pressure of the water impacting the surface changes if the washer is moved too quickly. This can cause some areas clean more thoroughly than others, requiring you to perform additional passes. This surface cleaner uses water only. If you still have questions or just want to speak to a Greenworks product expert, would be happy to discuss this further. Just give us a call at 888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). We look forward to hearing from you.
I am so happy that I purchased this surface cleaner. It made cleaning my back patio, my front porch and my driveway so so easy. Actually, I would never have attempted all of those in the same day doing it the old way with just the wand. With this surface cleaner, you use it kinda like a vacuum in that you just put it down and go over the surface you are cleaning. Its that simple. It saves time, water and your back too. I did have to go over my driveway a couple of times, but thats ok, the result is amazing. Wish I had had this before now. This is great!!
It works far better than I expected. I just wish you would make a unit a little bit larger. I have a large area to clean and this would make it easier.
I bought this 4 - 6 weeks ago used it a few times around the house for small projects. Used it today on the front walkway maybe 40 foot long. By the time i got close to the end i could tell it wasn't spinning like it should. I tried spinning by hand it would turn some by not spin.
I used it to clean a dirty walkway and was surprised at how easily it cleaned it. The paver colors really stand out now and I only used straight water.
This works on lightly soiled deck wood and concrete, but cleaning deeply soiled driveway concrete requires such slow movement it is difficult to thoroughly clean an area without picking up the device to see under it frequently. Once the driveway has been deep cleaned (using a 25° nozzle) this device is great for regular maintenance cleaning.
