Greenworks 2000 PSI 1.2 GPM Pressure Washer

The ad stated that this unit was 2.0gpm under the product description. The unit is not 2.0gpm it is 1.1gpm. I Would have like to of try the model that was advertised. Disappointing to say the least

Purchased the Greenworks model 3000 (psi) pressure washer on sale, and used it for two days outside surface cleaning in Aug 2023; liking the Greenworks model 3000 a lot. A quiet electric machine - online videos don't show how quiet it is. But online videos do show the Greenworks max psi is well under 3000 psi, eg the 15" Greenworks surface cleaner measured at 1000 psi (and the tips higher than 1000 psi), so the pwasher/surface cleaner should be safe for pavers. Packaged with wheels mounted; pwasher quickly assembled, no assembly issues, similar in size to my old gas 2600 psi Craftsman. Like its green appearance and its sturdy frame/body steel like my old gas pwashers. Its box arrived mostly pristine/undamaged, and parts looked sparkly new, unused - i see some one-star reviewers show otherwise. So thanks to those web videographers who measured the Greenworks psi pressures/gpm using pressure meters inline with gun and 5-gallon buckets to inform us of what each pwasher tip and surface cleaner psi and gallons per minute actually are. Greenworks should have easily provided that info, including their pump nomenclatures, so we as consumers can make a better choice, ie may not have needed the 3000 psi model if the pumps and internal electronics are the same for lower rated psi Greenworks models. For example, if a lower rated model has a pump to be avoided, then we can choose a better model. Used the Greenworks brand 15" surface cleaner on our wide (2-car) concrete driveway, concrete sidewalk, and 5' wide x 40 ft paver walkway, and delighted with the cleaning results. Even though I owned Craftsman gas pwashers for decades, did not know how low a psi pressure can be to clean concrete, so 1000 psi for concrete using the 15" diameter surface cleaner. (Using the surface cleaner is a must if you want to feel like a human when you are done, a great time saver). So the math falls to 500psi for each of the two surface cleaner rotating tips that clean concrete and pavers. Did not use the onboard soap reservoir yet- used a bucket of very diluted Zep concrete cleaner and just spilled it on and used a push broom. Phoned Greenworks, because neither their supplied instruction manual nor their online videos recommend a detergent, and their (annoyingly small print) instruction manual stated no acidic nor base detergents (page 9) should be used; that just leaves water as the detergent per their written directions. But the Greenworks responder suggested Simple Green as a guess for the soap dispenser Aug 2023. Purchased the Greenworks addon soap applicator on sale, but have yet to use it. fyi, entertaining to see the videos repeatedly miss which detergent to use; the video host only says "here is the Greenworks detergent reservoir", and skips to another pwasher part; an SNL moment. Did not find that the few second delay after pulling the gun/trigger or after elec powering on a nuisance as many reviewers suggested. An extension wand is required for the surface cleaner, because the supplied gun/wand are too short for using the 15" diameter surface cleaner. (Can purchase surface cleaner including an extension wand) No electric problem from a lamp post outlet 40+ ft from house with 12-guage underground wire on a 15 amp circuit ( I have not tried using an extension elec cord yet). Careful to keep garden hose and electric power cord and surface water separate. Initially, blow the surfaces. Rinsed the surface cleaner after each day of use; and relieved the gun pressure each time the washer was powered off to spend a little time rinsing a completed surface section. Smooth sailing so far. Btw, Trex does not recommend use of a pwasher, nor does Bob Villa recommend a pwasher on a house exterior - I still use the extension 22 ft aluminum threaded pole with replaceable brush and a bucket of very diluted Palmolive liquid dish detergent on vinyl siding to prevent my clothes from getting bleached by the stronger house exterior cleaning products, and this Palmolive solution is safe for Trex decks. More than a week later, amazed how good looking the driveway and sidewalks appear, wow! The age of the 36 ft concrete sidewalk is 42 years, the 50 ft driveway 25 years, and the 40 ft paver walkway 9 years. (Also cleaned a small concrete pad at our garage people door, and a nearby cluster mailbox concrete/aggregate pad for 16 neighbors on our cul-de-sac.) And yes, the Greenworks plastic holster for the pwasher gun is weak when in the upright/storage position; ok when in horizontal (working) position, but would prefer the decades old circular short plastic holding tube - reviewers are currently suggesting a bungee cord to bolster the holster; the reviewer used 3 holster bolts shown in his photos to anchor the gun whereas the model 3000 I received Aug 2023 only has two gun holster bolts. Also not a fan of the pressure hose holder which has a supplied bungee - our old gas Craftsman had a perfect hose holder on a strong plastic reel. But goodbye to gas pwashers! (applause). Hope this 3000 model will last; one-star reviewers do show some caution, and hope in general elec pwashers improve. Update 3/30/2025 Used Greenworks power washer again for the driveway. Pwashed each driveway section with Simple Green All Purpose cleaner - poured a very diluted solution by bucket, brushed it on, and used the surface cleaner. Had no problems using the Greenworks 3000 pwasher so far. Used a second hose for quick rinsing section by section. So our Greenworks pwasher is still alive after 3 years, and we keep it stored in our garage near our house wall so it's never below freezing for long. Driveway today looks amazing, and it hasn't been in dire need for cleaning for 2 years including today - so we could pass another year except for some mold on perimeter.. Sidewalk and paver walkway easily completed - nice! So Simple Green All Purpose Cleaner by spilled on bucket is good enough.

This thing is a beast! It's been the main pressure washer in my Chevrolet dealership's detail bay for almost 3 years and I can't believe how rugged this thing is. We beat the crap out of it, always run hot water through it and it still works perfectly. The stock hose just split this morning. This thing owes me nothing and I'd buy another one tomorrow. I'm going to buy one for my home as it's powerful enough to spin a surface cleaner for light concrete work. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Bottom line is this is as powerful as the gas one it replaced. And there's no tinkering, no smell, no spilled gas, no adding oil, no new fuel filter, no sparkplugs, no messing with the carburetor, no wrenching your shoulder with the pull start, etc. It is easily 20-30 dB more quiet than the gas one. You don't need hearing protection. It fires up immediately and is delivering good pressure very quickly. I ran this for hours and hours, pressure washing all sorts of surfaces, and it never overheated or had any issues. It can be fickle with lesser extension cords. Don't goof around with cheap 16 gauge orange cords. Get a good 12 gauge and it won't trip the GFCI. You will probably need an extension cord if you're running around the entire outside of your house to pressure wash siding, or you'll have to get a longer hose.

I have only had this pressure washer for a few days. I will update my review after a month. I had one minor problem assembling the device. The top tube had a tiny crease that prevents sliding the top tube over the base tube. I fixed the problem by using a pair of locking needle nose pliers to pull the crease out and allow the top tube to slide over the base tube. The only adverse effect is that I scratched a little of the paint off of the top tube. Other than this, I was up and running quickly. I washed and waxed one car and tested cleaning some wood siding on my old (1886) house. The device works well for both applications. Even the 15-degree attachment did not dig into the old wood siding when standing back about 8" from the surface. It did clean off most of the loose and peeling paint. I have not tested it using a longer hose for the wand which will be required for cleaning the second story of the house. For car washing, it easily cleaned up dirt that has collected in the seams and crevices from many years of neglect. When cleaning years of neglect, I found it helps to first do a pre-wash using clear water, then soap and scrub with a cloth, and then go through a complete wash. The pressure washer worked as I expected on cleaning a car after years of neglect I will recommend this pressure washer to others.
