Greenworks 2100 PSI (SGS Certified) 1.2 GPM 13Amp Compact Electric Pressure Washer Telescoping Handle Power Washer for Cars, Driveways, Patios, Patio Furniture & Around Pools

This is a nice machine. It has a slick design with places to hang the air hose, power cord and spray wand. It is light and easy to use and cleaned the moss off our patio and driveway nicely. It is easy to control the pressure so that the moss gets removed from the concrete and the debris gets rinsed gently from nearby structures.

The product came well package. Setup was a breeze and it is so easy to use. I primarily bought it because I was tired of trying to borrow or rent a pressure washer. This one appeared when I was searching on line and it looked just right. I had used a gasoline powered pressure washer several times in the past and for home use, it is overkill. This power washer runs on household electric current (110V) and provides a long cable and circuit breaker as part of the power cable. There are three nozzles and a high pressure nozzle. All of which I used, no issues with any of the hardware. Cleanup is simple, I just disconnect all hoses and let the unit dryout. Great product and I would recommend it for home use.

Put it together and got to using it right away. Already have had it running for a couple hours straight and its doing fine. Plenty of pressure. Its loud, but not super loud. Lots of different tips for a variety of applications.

Initial day 1 review.The unit works fine out of the box. Does pretty much what you would expect. Overall, seems to be a decent tool for the price. I would be ok recommending to someone who wants an upgrade from a bargain-basement-use-for-one-season pressure washer.The positive:Nice and compact. I like that it has a suitcase design rather than a cart. This makes it easy to move about, store indoors for the winter, or put in the truck of a car. You couldn't do that with a cart design.(Note: I lost two cheap pressure washers recently. Both had the same part fail due to ice forming inside and stressing the part. I would recommend always storing away from freezing temperatures unless you are really sure you got all the water out.)High quality and flexible high pressure hose. The previous two units I've used had very rigid high pressure hoses that could be permanently bent.The less good:I added quick connects for input and high pressure to make life easier. Unfortunately, the fitting on the nozzle and the low pressure input fitting are at exactly the same location when in the storage configurating causing interference (see pic).Also, the end of the nozzle that screws into the wand is very close to (maybe touching) the ground when in the storage configuration.The wand has a quick connect on the tip end but not on the other so every time you use it you have to thread those two parts together (see pic). Not a show stopper but time consuming.The badRight out of the box, the extension handle did not work correctly. It was difficult to extend and would not retract without a lot of work. Upon investigation, I found two screws missing (see pic). This part was preassembled and there was no hardware in the box to fix it. Luckily, I had screws for plastic assembly that I scavenged from an old broken tool. Once I added those two screws, worked fine. I don't think the average homeowner should have to go through that on a new device, though.Final Note: while fixing the handle, I came across a little sticker that said the unit should only be operated when horizontal. Maybe it was also in the instructions, but who really reads those until something goes wrong??

This Greenworks power washer is everything the advertising claims. Having owned more powerful gas powered washers, I find this little machine is more than adequate for most jobs around the house.

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
