Greenworks 2000 PSI Electric Pressure Washer

Fácil de mover y de utilizar. Ahorro de agua

I have 5 other Greenworks products. This makes power washing easy. It can hook up to an outdoor hose with a click on adaptor or to a bucket of water with a hose included. It doesn’t have the power of the big power washers but for small jobs it works beautifully.

Works as advertised. Used it in the bush and at the lake. Love it’s various methods for being used. Wish I had bought a few years back.

With the 25 degree green tip, I tried cleaning off the residue of grilled chicken from a gas grill grate.
It was a new porcelain covered grate that had been soaking in water for over a month after cooking, so the chicken bits were quite soft.
The pressure washer did not remove the chicken pieces very well. After spraying the grate thoroughly, there were many sections that still had chicken residue. With the skin pad of my thumb, I could easily remove that residue with very little rubbing pressure. I was hoping the grate would be clean all over without the need of me rubbing every spot. That was disappointing, as it was very soft material.

I tried spraying some siding, and that didn’t seem to do much either.

So, with the sprayer tips provided, the washer did not clean well.

I bought a black turbo nozzle, and that did better, but not as well as I would hope.
Why don’t they provide a turbo tip to clean with? That was the only tip that worked somewhat.

The design of the electric plug is simply bad. On my outside outlets, the kind with a spring cap, it simply will not plug in since it is way too big. Their plug has ground fault protection built into it, making it very large. If they had only put a 6 inch pigtail at the end, then it would work fine. I had to use an outdoor extension cord, which I bought several over a year ago on Amazon, just to plug it in – so that is about $5 added to the cost; shouldn’t be necessary.

Then there is the high pressure hose that came with it. It is not very pliable and tries to retain its COILED shape, which makes it hard to use; tends to stay tangled. So if you want to have less hassle using the washer, probably should replace the hose; an additional cost.

I ordered a pressure gauge from Amazon to check the pressure.
The 25 degree green tip got 1600 psi.
The 40 degree white tip got 1500 psi (see picture).
The purchased turbo tip got 1200 psi.
The sprayer is rated at 2000 psi, so seems the smaller tip should have more pressure than 1600 psi, and maybe clean the grill grate better.

I also did a volume test; this is rated at 1.1 GPM.
I sprayed into a bucket that was marked at a 1 gallon level.
My first measurement was for my garden hose directly into the bucket.
It took only 8 seconds to produce 1 gallon.
Going through the washer, with no tip, and the washer *OFF*, it took 1 min, 13 secs for 1 gallon.
Going through the washer, with no tip, and the washer *ON*, it took 38 seconds for 1 gallon.
With the 25 degree green tip, it took 1 min, 4 secs.
With the 40 degree white tip, it took 60 seconds.
With the purchased turbo tip, it took 53 seconds.
So, with the tips provided with the washer, the quantity of water delivered seems a bit less than the rated 1.1 gallons per minute.

So, to use the washer comfortably, I think you need 3 things immediately:
an extension cord: $5
a turbo nozzle: $10 – $20
a flexible hose: $20 – $40 (or more).

Since the pressure delivered doesn’t seem strong enough to be very effective, and with the above added costs, might as well buy a stronger washer with better equipment, psi power, and design.

Took a chance on this unit understanding that it would not perform as well as my electric 1900 psi but very happy the result. Its especially useful at our cottage where you can just dip the water intake into the lake. Its beem great for cleaning boats, the deck and furniture.

After using it only twice, the plastic male connector snapped off the hose connection while I was using it. I even had a soft flexible hose, not a hard type. Now it unusable and I’m out of $ 150. I was thinking by having a cordless power washer was the way to go.

This is written by a 74year old woman. I read all of the reviews carefully, so I lowered my expectations. I used it on my siding after charging the batteries. Heavy Moss on the north side. I worked beautifully. Enough pressure to do the job without going over it a second time. I love the various settings. The other thing I really like is the recommendation of using one of those shrivel up hoses. I have that and it makes it so much easier and lighter to use. It also comes with a siphon and works great on a lake especially to hose off boats. If I had one complaint it is the short battery life and very slow recharging. I was aware of that from other reviews so I cannot deduct for that. My solution was to buy the set of 24V 4Ah batteries and dual quick charger after ascertaining that would work with this. Genuine Greenworks parts. I am very pleased with my purchase, and I am now looking around to clean other things, patio furniture, deck prep for painting, and car wash, etc. Also easy to put together when you receive it. I would definitely recommend to others with the battery issue caveat. I think you can buy this without the batteries and then buy the 4Ah ones.
