Greenworks 2000 PSI (1.2 GPM) Electric Pressure Washer, Steel Wand, On-Board Soap Tank (25°, 40°, Soap, and Turbo Nozzle)

This was a perfect replacement for an almost identical Greenworks pressure washer that finally packed it in after being stored outside (perhaps "left outside" is more accurate). It works well and expect it to work for many years even if I continue to store it outside :).

This is a great pressure washer for tasks around the house. I use it to clean the walls and floor of my pool when I drain it. This new model turns on and off when you squeeze the trigger on the spray handle, my old one didn’t have that feature.

Compact Easy to assemble. Works great

I bought this to pressure wash back yard pavers and siding. So far this has worked just fine, cleaned all the mold and grime from the pavers. It was relatively not bad to put together, the hose is long enough, its not too loud. Giving 4 stars until i test this more on the car, deck etc.

Used as a secondary pressure washer, but one for the roof of our building. Save us the trouble of having to carry the gas one up. Great product, enough power

I just received this washer and thoroughly tested it on my pressure-treated wood deck, so this review is a "first use" type of review – I'll update it if anything goes wrong in long-term usage. I like using electric pressure washers for home use – they provide plenty of power for most cleaning duties while NOT providing too much power for things like cleaning wood decks or painted items (I learned this the hard way years ago when I rented a gas-powered PW and damaged my deck with too much pressure). They're also relatively quiet and easy to maintain. I ruined my old, cheap, off-brand pressure washer after a half-dozen years, so I hunted for a new one and chose this company and model. The packaging is remarkable (surprisingly small box) and assembly is easy, despite the somewhat lame instructions with tiny illustrations. It's packed in a very efficient but complex way, so you may want to take pictures as you unbox so that you can get everything back in the box if you choose to return it. I wanted a PW that would store on my garage shelving and not take up valuable floor space (my garage is my wood shop, so floor space is vital). I planned to modify it to be a "carry" type of PW, but to my delight, I didn't need to! The handle is easily removed, leaving a perfectly-sized item for shelf storage (I'll have to put up a hook for the handle and hose, etc). On my first use, I thought "this is going back." Using the highest-pressure nozzle, the pressure was just not as strong as my old "2200 psi" model (that was more like 1700 PSI). But I decided to try the nozzle, gun, and after-market pressure hose from my old PW, and the difference was remarkable! Instantly much more pressure – enough to actually damage my deck, which my old PW never had. And great pressure for washing my brick and driveway. So my first STRONG recommendation would be to get some after-market nozzles and a better hose. The provided hose seems nice, but I think it doesn't provide enough water/pressure for the gun. It seems to be a common problem with these cheap models – my old PW was instantly more powerful with the same upgrades. I bought the upgrades from HD – their cheapest hose (Power Care) – a bit stiff when you first use it, but the sun and/or Southern heat seemed to loosen it up nicely. It's plenty strong enough for an electric PW. A word on the "turbo" nozzle – it may be fine for washing cars (I don't know – I enjoy washing my cars by hand with a soft brush), but it spays a small circular pattern that requires multiple passes to eliminate, so it's not as time-efficient as regular nozzles. Some other notes: – the unit shuts down when the gun (or wand) trigger is released. This is SO great (with my old one, I had to keep the thing spraying as I walked over to switch it off – otherwise it would trip the circuit protection on the device). The cord on this unit has the typical built in circuit protector, but also has a "pigtail" (a short cord between the circuit protector and the plug) which allows it to fit more easily into outdoor outlets that have covers. Nice touch. – the "brass" looking connectors are just anodized aluminum. I suspected this would be the case, given the price point, and yes they're aluminum throughout. The problem with aluminum is that it will cause a dielectric reaction with brass (if you have brass fittings on your hoses), resulting in "galvanic corrosion," or a frozen connection that requires effort and tools to disconnect. Probably not a problem with a pressure washer, since you'll likely disconnect it after use. You might think "won't the anodized fittings prevent this??" and yes they may at first, but the anodized finish will quickly wear off on the threads, and it’s not really brass – just brass-colored aluminum.. My recommendation is to coat the fittings with Dupont Chain-Saver, a favorite wax-based lube that contains Teflon. This durable lube (it dries quickly on chains or threads and leaves a wax and Teflon coating) should cut down on any corrosion, and make the connections much smoother. – this washer is relatively loud, especially when idling (less so during use). I'd say the loudness level is similar to a loud vacuum cleaner – not nearly as loud as a gas motor, but louder than my old PW, which was quite quiet. But the way I see it, it's payback for my neighbors who somehow are able to hunt down the loudest leaf blowers known to man. – the plastic components seem very robust and well designed. – this PW is EXTREMELY light weight for a PW – easy to lift even when fully assembled. That's great for moving it around and lifting onto a shelf (after removing the handle) but it does make me wonder about longevity (I generally prefer heavy tools – maybe that's a woodworking thing). I purchased the 3-year Asurion insurance for $24, which I would recommend for ANY electric PW). – the wheels are held on with wire clips. On my first use, one fell off and I had to hunt for it in the grass (I have yet to find the washer that also fell off). Surprisingly bad design. A simple solution is to zip-tie the ends of the clips to keep them from spreading and falling off. A better solution is modifying the connection with a bolt (preferably stainless steel). This would require drilling out the axle to enlarge the hole, but I think it's the way I'm going to go. EDIT: I just did the zip-tie and it's fine. I have this way of making things complicated but I have learned to wait a day, laugh at myself, and just do the simple thing. – the wheels are large and the device is super-easy to move around (the light weight helps here as well). – one last note: the instructions say to turn your hose on fully... I don't think this is wise if you have high water pressure like we do. The device can only pressurize a certain amount of water per minute anyway, and excessive pressure may cause internal leaks and damage. I mention this because I think that's what killed my previous electric PW – I typically turned my water on about half way, which was perfect. But one day I wasn't thinking (might have been temporary heat stroke from this ridiculously hot Summer) and I turned it up all the way. The unit stopped working and water was dripping from the case. I couldn't disassemble it because of super-deep screws, so I don't know for sure but it seems likely that the excess pressure ruptured seals and/or overloaded the pressure manifold. So be mindful – if you have strong water pressure, then maybe back it off a bit... you just need need a steady supply of water delivered to the thing... more water won't result in more pressure from the PW – it's limited by the pressure manifold. All in all, I've gone from "this is going back" to "I really like this thing" so I'll be keeping it. But I strongly recommend upgrading the hose (the gun, or wand, is fine) and the nozzles. Keep in mind that these devices typically have a short life span, so you may want to get the Asurion protection. And you might want ear plugs, or even better a pair of noise-cancelling ear buds so you can listen to your favorite music while doing a somewhat lengthy chore (I use Apple Airpods when doing any yard work – the noise-canceling is amazing, as is the sound quality). My main concern with this lightweight unit is durability – I will certainly update this review immediately if any problems arise. If you don't see any edited to this review, then you can assume all is well. All the best to you! You could have probably finished your deck in the time it took to read all this :D

This machine has been great

UPDATE: Greenworks customer service walked me through all the troubleshooting steps, made sure my well was compatible and high enough PSI, and tried multiple outlets, and the motor is still dead after 1 hour of normal use. I bought a "defective product" and they'll ship me a new one in 2-3 weeks. I really wish I had just bought a comparable one from a different manufacturer, my entire patio and lanai could've been cleaneda long time ago, but I'm still sitting here in purgatory waiting for a new one to show up. Can't wait to see what critical defect the replacement has. Just finished assembling this earlier today. Went out and started to use it on my lanai and patio. Followed all instructions in the owner's manual, was only using the turbo washer to clean the concrete floor, didn't use soap or any other attachments. It worked really well for about an hour, got the steps to my patio cleaned and about 1/4 of the lanai floor clean, I was initially really impressed by how good of a job it did. But then I got a little bored of cleaning the floor, so I decided to switch to cleaning the screen of the lanai. I pointed it up and started spraying, it was working fine. Then I pointed it down and sprayed again, and suddenly the motor died. A trickle of water still flows through the nozzle when the trigger is held, but the motor, which is normally about as loud as a gas-powered lawnmower, now just makes a slight humming noise and there's no pressure or compression. The unit is still getting power. I've tried different outlets and tried plugging other things into the same outlet and the outlet seems to work fine. I tried using it with and without an extension cord, I disconnected and re-connected everything, I let it sit inside in the air conditioned house for 2 hours so it could cool down and still just a slight humming noise. The Owner's Manual says to call their customer service line if all of these trouble shooting steps fail and it's still humming. Haven't been able to speak to a human to figure out what to do next. I can't recommend this to anyone, please don't waste your money on something that stops working after 1 hour of normal use. This is planned obsolescence gone too far.
