Greenworks Pro Brushless 3000 PSI (CSA Certified) 2.0 GPM Max / 1.1 GPM Electric Pressure Washer (Rugged Steel Frame, 25 FT Hose, 35 FT GFCI Power Cord)

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 review is for the 3000 psi version. BLUF: The brushless motor does 2 things: 1. It's quiet compared to alternatives. 2. It's efficient and maxes out a 110V plug. It's unlikely that a 110V electric version could be more powerful. To get more power you'd need to go for the MUCH louder and MUCH less convenient gas versions. I've had it for a couple weeks now and have run it for many hours. Coming from a smaller "upright" electric power washer that claims similar specs, this is quite a large improvement. While it doesn't blow me away with it's absolute power, it is quite nice because it is much quieter than other electrics and much much quieter than gas versions. I've run it for hours on end with no signs of overheating, unlike cheaper models. This somewhat makes up for what I perceive to be lower performance than expectations of 3000psi set. It will get the job done, but it will take longer than you'd expect. Since it's quiet and doesn't overheat, this is not a problem. I feel like this is probably the knee in the value vs performance. You can find cheaper ones, but they do not perform as well, you can find more expensive ones, but the performance per dollar doesn't scale. So in my opinion this is an excellent buy. I've made some upgrades to mine. I put quick connect adapters on both the high pressure hose and low pressure hose just to make storing it easier.

I have a nice, heavy duty Karcher gas power pressure washer that I use around my property. But I don't like using it in the winter due to the hassle of making sure it does not freeze (and it is too unwieldy to bring inside more than once each year for storage), and it is too large and heavy to take to my alternate property, or for small quick tasks. So I went shopping for a more portable, electric powered pressure washer whose price would not break the bank. I selected this "Greenworks 1500 PSI 1.2 GPM Pressure Washer (Upright Hand-Carry)"; note that the actual manufacturer's part number GPW1501. At just under $100 US, I was hoping that the quality was at least decent. I was a little surprised to see that this product was made in Vietnam (rather than China or Taiwan), although the Greenworks company appears to be based on Canada, and it appears that service and support is 'local', or within North America at least. The basic specifications are: - Pump housing dimensions; 18" tall, 11" wide, 9" deep (front to rear); these dimensions are approximate - Pump housing weight; 19 pounds (according to user's manual) - Pump maximum pressure; 1500 PSI - Pump flow; 1.2 GPM - Pump power: 120VAC, 60Hz, 13A (this should be plugged into a dedicated 15A circuit, or at least one where there is nothing else on the circuit currently turned on); the power cord is about 35 feet long and has a GFCI plug, so you can use this safely even with non-GFCI outlets; note that the GFCI plug head is pretty huge, so it might not fit into outdoor outlets which have weather-doors, etc; I had to use a short outlet extender cord in order to plug into my house's outdoor outlets - Handgrip has the usual pressure washer squeeze trigger control, and all high pressure hose and associated fittings are the conventional type used by most other pressure washers; I can use the longer pressure hose, handgrip, and accessories (including the nozzle tips) that are part of my larger Karcher machine when I am using this smaller Greenworks sprayer - High pressure hose is about 20 feet long (product can be ordered with longer hose lengths) - Accessories; 25° (green/narrow) and 40° (white/wide) spray heads/nozzles/tips, and a detergent 'tank' (bottle) with associated detergent spray head, and a small wire nozzle cleaning tool As with any home-use pressure washer, this one is easy to use, even easier than the larger gas powered ones since there is no need to mess with the engine, and THIS one automatically turns the electric pump on and off according to whether you are squeezing the handgrip trigger. Just screw the high pressure hose fittings onto the pump's fitting and the handgrip fitting, and connect a garden hose to the water inlet connection (which includes a screen), and plug in the power cord. There is a single control on the pump, "OFF/ON" (plus the handgrip trigger of course), so you turn that on, and start spraying. When you release the trigger, the pump automatically stops. When you squeeze the trigger again, the pump automatically starts. When you are done, turn the power switch off and disconnect the garden hose. As with all such pressure washers, you can quickly and easily replace the nozzle/tip according to the need of the moment, since it has the conventional quick connect fittings. Note that the handgrip has its own proprietary quick disconnect fitting where the 'spray wand' connects to the handgrip; this is not the conventional fitting, so you probably won't be able to use spray wands from other kinds of pressure washer with this machine's handgrip (but you can use other machines' handgrips with this machine). When you are using the detergent tank for spraying water and detergent, the detergent tank connects to the handgrip in place of the spray wand, using the same kind of proprietary quick disconnect fitting. The conventional quick disconnect fitting is found on the opposite end of the spray wand. I have so far used this sprayer to clean some siding on my house, and to wash my car. It worked fine and exactly as expected. It seems to be of decent quality, and the pump ran surprisingly quiet. I found the automatic start/stop to be a nice convenience (actually, having this feature might save cost since with it, the more common water recirculation valve on the pump is presumably not needed, and there is no worry about overheating). The handgrip trigger has a small piece of plastic that can be used to 'lock' the trigger in the OFF position for safety. However, it seems to be easily defeatable, thus is not of much real use. The manual does not describe the intent or use of this safety lock, other that to state that the user might need to move it from one position to the other. I found the power cord length to be very good, but it is a long and THICK cord, and what to do with it when the pump is not in use is the big question. I would have expected the pump body to have an integral pair of hooks, etc; which the cord could be wrapped around for stowage (as on vacuum cleaners, etc), and WHY Greenworks did not provide this is a mystery. I found the included 20 foot high pressure hose to be too short for my trial tasks, so I was happy that I was able to use the much longer hose from my Karcher washer. 20 feet of hose is really short once you actually try to use this sprayer, so I suggest opting for the model that comes with a longer hose. Also, the included hose comes tightly coiled, and I had a hard time trying to train it to relax so I could actually use it. Greenworks makes a similar, and somewhat more expensive, pressure washer which includes a reel for the hose (I did not choose that model since it looked like it made the overall unit too bulky). The GFCI plug does not include a grounding pin, and this is because the product is "double insulated". I think this is OK. Gripes: - The product overview diagram in the manual lists 14 pieces, but only three numbered arrows actually appear on the diagram, so pretty much useless. This kind of sloppy and ill-conceived content is found throughout the user's manual. - All illustrations are reproduced in a faint gray shade and very small, so hard to make out what is being shown. - The instructions for use of the detergent tank are confusing, in that they state that 'household detergents' should not be used since they might damage the pressure pump. 1) any kind of detergent one might wish to use with a pressure sprayer would be considered as a 'household detergent', 2) the pump is upstream of the detergent nozzle, with the 20 foot hose between them, so it seems very unlikely that whichever detergent is used would ever be in contact with the pump's innards. Stupid copy & paste mistake on the part of the manual's author. - "Do the instructions on the solution bottle to prepare detergent" is a not-uncommon bit of clumsy writing found in the manual. - There are no actual instructions for use of the detergent tank, other that how its quick disconnect works and the aforementioned clumsy cautions. - Just a few bits of plastic could have been added to facilitate storage of the power cord and hose, but Greenworks did not do this. - The rear of the pump unit has some shapes to the plastic that suggest a hint of storage potential, but if the designers intended a use for them, the manual does not describe or illustrate those uses. One tiny illustration seems to suggest that the handgrip and spray want might be stowed on the rear of the pump body, but when I tried to stow them, it did not work out, since I did not understand what was supposed to hold them in the pictured positions (the illustration shows the unit from the wrong side regarding this question). EDIT: After some fooling around over the course of several uses of this product, I have figured out a way to store everything: - Disconnect the spray wand from the handgrip. They then fit behind the large green plastic structure (I'll call it the LGPS) at the top rear of the sprayer body, and down into the two end pockets of the black plastic structure below that. - The detergent tank docks to the center of the LGPS, sticking out the back of the sprayer body. - The power cord can be looped such that its many coils hang over the rear of the sprayer body, hanging from the tops of the handgrip and spray wand as if they were hooks. - The 20 foot pressure hose gets similarly looped/coiled, hanging from the same devices that the power cord is hanging from. Note that if you buy the model with a longer pressure hose, there is probably not enough space to coil it in the manner I describe here. - The coiled power cord and pressure hose now surround the detergent tank. So, I think this is a decent product that should satisfy most casual users, for a reasonable purchaser price.

Works well, with significantly more power than a lesser electric I bought and returned. It did a good job on driveway, etc w/ the Westinghouse 15" surface cleaner. Things to know: Yes, when turned on, it "runs" all the time. The background noise is not very loud, and it still takes a moment to spool up in power when triggered, but you do get an immediate spray with good power. The unit is very easy to fold up and store, either as it sits, or on edge. HOWEVER, the wand cannot be left attached if you fold the handle!! This creates a storage issue. The pressure hose is high quality! But brace yourself for it not being so easy to coil and uncoil!

I am very disappointed with this unreliable product. The first pressure washer lost its water pressure within an hour of usage. I followed the step by step proper way of using this pressure washer and their technician also guided me with trouble shooting. However, to my disappointment it never worked again. The GREENWORKS customer service representative said that a replacement will be sent and that I could simply keep the old one. The replacement arrived after about a week but to my disappointment it never worked at all - it would not turn-on even with guidance of a technician from Greenworks. I called the Amazon customer service to set up a pick up via UPS to return the item and to get my refund. However it has been 3 times now that I have requested for pick up and 3 times the Amazon has failed to do so via UPS. They wasted several days of my time waiting at home but no one has showed up. I called the Amazon again today (9 April) for the 4th time and was told they will send a UPS pick-up tomorrow. Well, let's see what happens this time - I'll provide an update. This GREENWORKS 3000 PSI electric water pressure is highly unreliable - at least in my own experience, and the Amazon customer service is highly unsatisfactory, they do not follow through to keep their promise. I purchased this item because I have read a lot of good reviews online - I was misled. Regretfully, I DO NOT RECOMMEND this GREENWORKS 3000 PSI electric pressure washer. If I could rate this product a fraction of a Star, I'd be glad to do so. Update: Today, 11 April, I checked the return status online. It says the pressure washer has been picked up when actually the item is still sitting in the hallway of my house. This is so frustrating, no one showed up again. As I am writing this update I am with the Amazon Customer service rep on the phone - on hold, waiting for assistance. It seems they don't want the item back, so I am requesting for immediate refund.

So far I have loved everything about this pressure washer. Doesn't leak, lots of power and performs flawlessly. Itis a great weight, good cord length, Very easy to assemble and move around. Compact for storing.

My farm uses Greenworks tools for landscaping already. We have quite a few battery powered tools so I saw this and thought the other items have held up, so I gave it a try. Can I tell you that this thing exceeded all my expectations, I bought a stretchy hose with it and that worked out like a secondary power cord. I highly recommend you get a very flexible light weight hose, because you’re going to be dragging this thing around finding more and more and more stuff to clean with it. This pressure washer is outstanding. It comes with two different spray nozzles. It comes with a container that you put soap in. I have done all of my lawn furniture, my deck, and the entire surround going around my pool, inside my bathroom and inside the pool cabana, see the picture! This is not a shadow; that is what the deck around my pool looked like before I used this and I am using no bleach; no harsh chemicals. This thing blasts every ground in old mildew, mold stains out like magic. It does not damage siding. I have done the back of my house with it. It does not damage the pool cover. I’ve even sprayed off the pool cover. It doesn’t damage the furniture. It’s not so strong that you can actually blow paint off something. It’s just strong enough to get rid of the mold, mildew, muck,mud,grease etc. This thing works,it really works and because it’s plug-in you don’t have to worry about a battery dying. I could go and just wash until I’m done. Today I’m actually planning on doing the fences across my backyard. I hope it holds up for many years because this is my new favorite tool and definitely the best purchase I’ve ever made on Amazon. I think I got it for $105! It’s very portable and small for me to carry around and I love that. I’m really enjoying it, and I’m sure I will be using it on a lot of other projects.

I've used this a few times now, and it's a great power washer for home use. Plenty strong, I can't imagine needing more power - though I'm still confused if this is 1.2 or 2.3 gph, but the flow is plenty strong. I've cleaned my brick patio of heavy moss, our deck of algae buildup, and washed my cars. Easy to operate, with a push button start. It's not too loud, and was pretty easy to setup. Cons would be: it's fairly heavy, and isn't that compact in my garage and it's not a flat upright model. I also ended up getting a longer extension wand as the one it came with wasn't long enough. Overall, a good buy!
