Greenworks Pro Brushless 3000 PSI CSA Certified 2 0 GPM Max 1 1 GPM Electric Pressure Washer Foldable

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. Read more

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. Read more

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. Read more

Recently purchased and have used once. Consider this a “first impressions” review. Item looks decent quality out of the box. There is some assembly required that takes about 10 minutes and a large head Phillips screwdriver. Pretty simple and intuitive. There are instructions but the print is so small it’s very hard to read. First use to clean some patio furniture and the concrete. I doubt the 3000psi claim, maybe 2000psi, maybe. Flow rate with hose cranked all the way up is pretty low, so it is a bit choked up, probably so it can build and maintain the pressure. Electric motor runs constantly when using but it is quiet compared to gas powered. The power cord is adequately long with a GFI in the end. The washer hose could be longer to be honest, but it is adequate. The turbo head works well for scrubbing concrete, stucco etc. I only used the 40 degree nozzle so I won’t speak to the 30 or 15 degree nozzles (and a soap nozzle) which are also included. I would say this is a decent washer for light household use. I got tired of clogged carburetors on the gas pressure washers causing frequent issues so I thought I’d try electric. Performed better than I expected but not as good as a gas unit tbh. I think the convenience will make up for that assuming it is reliable. Read more
