- If you're looking to replace a gas pressure washer and want all the power but with the ease of an electric power washer, then you've probably seen the Greenworks Pro 2700psi and the Greenworks Pro 3000psi. They are more expensive than other electric pressure washers from the big box stores. With the highest psi ratings ive seen on an electric pressure washer... are they worth the price and do they actually get those numbers? ENJOY!

![2700 PSI Electric Pressure Washer - Greenworks Pro GPW2700 [FOAM BLASTER]](/img/n.gif)
UPDATE:1 year and still cranks within the first 2-3 pulls. Probably will buy another when this one finally does bite the dust ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX . No issues at all. Very happy with it.UPDATE: After 6 months of use and over 70 uses I would still highly recommend this pressure washer. It does vibrate a decent amount but never had it “walk” like others have mentioned. No oil leaks, still seems to run like the day I bought it. Still cranks within 2-3 pulls every time. Very happy with my purchase!Have used it about a dozen times now. Plenty of power, cranks up on 1-2 pulls every time. My only complaint would be I wish it was a little taller to make it easier to walk with it (hits my ankles a lot) and that the two hose connections were a little further apart but it hasn’t caused me any issues. Seems to run a good 1-1/2-2 hrs on a full tank, overall a well built machine and definitely worth the money in my opinion.
Lol. Leach
dude stop posting this same post on all these videos, it has nothing to do with this video
Just wanted to say thank you for the incredible detail. I ended up buying the 2700 and am pretty happy. I thought the fluctuation in pressure was going to be annoying but it really doesn't bother me. And the 3.5mm nozzles yield great foam from CG Snow Foam despite having hard water.
I returned to say thank you again for your reviews. I was torn between the higher GPM of the Greenworks Pro 2300 and Ryobi 2300 models and the higher psi of the 2700 and 3000 Greenworks Pro models. In the end I purchased the 3000 psi model after calculating the cleaning units and because the delayed ramp up of the 2300 would have driven me bonkers. I just powered it on for the first time and man I am not disappointed. It has just as much if not more power than my 2500psi gas unit and a lot less noise. The pressure does not seem to fluctuate as much on start up as seen in your video which is great. One think I noticed and have already fixed is it would always sound like it had air in the line when priming it before powering it on, the problem was the large soap bottle. Its literally sucking air into the line if the bottle is empty. I pulled the clear tubing from the pump side and capped the nipple. Issue resolved, water now flows with no burbs. Lets home it lasts, thanks again.
How’s it holding up for you?
@@sirilolemus8188 so far no issues.
How did you end up capping the nipple? I've got the 2300 and the clear tubing seems to be glued on to the pump. If I cut it there will be an open nipple at the pump which will still suck air in
@@Xxshadowman11xX I don’t see why a 1/4” OD brass cap or even hex head plug wouldn’t be adequate for this. Less than $3 at Home Depot or Lowe’s.
Still?
I ended up getting the 3000psi model to use around the house as well as for car washes. I noticed in your review it seems to show the 3000psi unit runs at about 1000psi with the 3.5mm orifice tip but in the ending overview chart it shows 1900psi. I just wanted to confirm that is a typo before I use it on my car. Thanks for all your work on these!
Hi.. I am also thinking about buying it and wanted to ask you to see if it is safe for car wash and ok to use with 40 nozzle? Thanks
Hi, is it safe to use 3000 psi to clean wood fence? If so, is it much faster than a 2300 psi? For the 3000 psi unit It seems like a 40 degree nozzle should be used or 25 degree but spray far out?
Seems like a typo based on the gauge he showed.
Great review. Thanks for doing this. Keep up the great video demonstrations.
Thank you man for this video! Appreciate your thoroughness. You're awesome😊
Thank You for the reviews.
I used the "pressure washer" reviews (all of them) to make a decision on purchasing.
Your reviews are in depth enough that I feel confident in my decision.
Again, Thank You...
BTW - Really Nice Shop...
I was at Lowe’s eyeballing the craftsman 2100 psi unit, I think that’s the one I’m going with, thanks for the reviews Josh 👍😁
RE: motor fluctuation, yep it is supposed to do that. "Digitally controlled brushless motor automatically adjusts maximum pressure and flow appropriate for specific nozzle tip in use"
The constant on is to make it like a gas washer. "Continuous-run motor and pump operate like gas-powered pressure washers, offering the best pressure and flow response in the industry; thermal relief valve purges hot water from pump to cool it down during constant use"
Would be nice to see the numbers with a full set of 4.0 and 4.5 nozzles. Should be right around 1,000 with one of those I'd think.
Thank you for all the information about the GreenWorks 3000 Pro pressure washer , which I own ! I did buy the flexzilla 50' hose and the quick connects which are Both Great and make things easier to use !!! Thank You for the links !!! The GreenWorks 3000 does have 3 year warranty on every thing and 10 year warranty on the motor !!! Thanks Josh 😀😀😀
23:03 the pressure washer is probably setup with a pressure relief valve set at 3000 psi. Pressure Relief Valves control upstream pressure. When the trigger is closed, the motor rotates the pump, compressing the fluid, and then dumping it over the relief valve and then back to inlet. The hose is connected upstream of the relief valve and after the pump, thus your gauge sees the full pressure of the relief valve. When you pull the trigger, the pressurized fluid now has an alternate path of escape, so it shoots out the nozzle. Remember that fluid always takes the path of least resistance. This results in the relief valve closing and lower pressure at your gauge (path of least resistance). The two different states of the relief valve opened and closed account for the different sound. The system works harder when the trigger is not pulled, as the motor and pump is doing its max work. When open, less work is done, with equally less resistance for the motor pump. If you use an ammeter, you will be able to see higher amps drawn with trigger closed, and lower amps with trigger pulled.
I'm not a hydraulics expert but as a mechanical engineering I have dabbled in simple hydraulic system design.
Nice!!!
Which is why it's foolish to design a PW such that it doesn't shutoff when you release the trigger.
omg dude you made me sleepy... You reply felt like I was taking a test
@@internalharm You think yours is any better? Maybe try composing proper English before talking down to someone.
thanks for review. have the small one, and i like that it shuts off when not in use..
Thank you so much for your invaluable information, highly appreciate it, keep it up the outstanding job, have a great day.
You are the best!!!!!!!! I defitniely will buy something from your drop list below. Blessings!!! Still go for 2700.
Great video. Very scientific! Which is the only way to go when evaluating products. Great Job! Thanks for taking the time. I purchased the 3000 unit.
Total stop system would definitely benefit here. Good review!
Great work on the video! Good details!
I have the pro 2300 took awhile to get use to the ramp up for sure but i love the performance of the machine so far im 1 year in on it and it's holding up great! Thinking of making a vid for my channel of taking it off the cart and doing a wall mount set-up with it and adding the red uberflex hose that you mentioned a few vids back.. love the channel by the way, keep the content coming man 💪🏼
Still loving it?
Yes still love it ,but don’t use it as much since getting a wall Mount Giraffe presure washer 👍🏽
The non auto stop, fluctuating and lag in motor are the very reasons i did not purchase these washers, plus the high price tag. I've watched all your reviews and went with the dewalt 2400 and uber flex hose. I love this machine paired with the uber hose. Thanks for all your time testing and doing these vids.
3 year warranty 7 year motor warranty
Thanks so much, I’ve been considering this unit but wasn’t sure if it was worth it
I think you and Project Farm have the best and most honest product reviews. I will probably have to replace my trusty SunJoe spx 3000 in the future and GreenWorks will be one of my considerations. I do like the total shutoff feature though so I’m not totally sold.
My sunjoe spx3000 is starting to lose it's kick and I'm thinking of replacing it with the greenworks 3000 too
Thank you for your time!
Just bought a brand new murdered out silverado so while researching proper way to maintain my trucks finish I came upon your channel. I am still trying to figure out why I’m so interested in this stuff and your channel is great. Thanks for the content.
Thanks John! And congrats on the new truck!!!!
Excellent Review! a couple months ago, after getting my gas washer going, I discovered I wasn't to fond of pulling the rip cord. I even watched a couple of your video reviews. Today, I pulled the gas washer out again, and again came to the same conclusion. So now re-reviewing your videos. I know that you have more current videos and I've watched them; but this on compares the 2700 and 3000. It was informative, statistical, and you kept it going expeditiously. There wasn't a need to jump to your conclusion. I notice this was how you have been doing videos. Any hoot, Thanks.
Thanks James!!
One issue with the graphic at 33:54. The 3000 unit should say 2700 psi @ 1.125 gpm
I work at Lowe's and I'm not surprised it has damage out of the box. It's not a return is a miss handled product. The guys that load the trucks are expected to load so many items in a pre selected time this causing damage to products. It happens all the time especially with appliances. I bought a push mower but when I got it home the front wheels where bent at a 45° angle.
Ironically enough. I just bought one of these and returned it due to the motor being air locked.
After returning it and watching this video I now realize that lowe's sold me a 3000 psi unit that was labeled as a 2700psi
Josh you have the most thorough reviews, still can’t believe the Gold Class soap foams so well!
Excellent video!
Great review! Thanks for making it. The fluctuation of the motor and the sound it is making is part of the design. The jet flow technology or whatever they call it is probably a mechanical limiter that detects how much pressure is going through the machine. If the motor is not hitting that limiter the pump kicks in harder until it hits the limiter. I probably didn't explain it very well but I hope that the idea gets across anyways.
ha yea makes sense!
Hi, thanks for the in depth review of both machines. I have a question for you on the 3000 machine if you increase to a 40° 4 mm nozzle how much do you suspect that the psi will drop and the GPM go up?
Great review thanks
Great vid! Thank you for the data - very informative
Josh, thank you for always breaking things down to practical terms. What do you think is the best electric power washer for someone like me that does primarily cleaning around the house, driveway and stucco, and some. At washing? My budget would be $250 max. Thank you in advance
Did you know pressure on turbo nozzle on the 2700 vs the 3000? I own the 2700 almost always use the turbo. Thinking about buying a 2nd unit, not sure I like the water intake location on the 3000 since it would inhibit standing up the pressure washer while garden hose is attached.
I bought the 3000 a few days ago (talked them into a 20% discount since the box was open.)….I had the same staggering as u did in the vid and also popped the gfci on our water heater. The manual says 14 amps. So I plugged into a 20 amp circuit .. no more staggering
You should not run more than 12 amps for extended periods of time on a 15 amp circuit. 15 is the peak it will handle for short periods, but if you continuously run above 12 it will overheat. Basically, AC electrical circuits are only rated to handle 80% of their peak for extended periods. Also, something that runs at 14 but isn't a steady speed is likely to peak over 15.
On the 3.5 test with the 3,000 you held up the pressure gage showing 1,000 psi... but later on the comparison you showed it at 1,900?
great review
I would like to see how that 3000 psi unit does with a 5.0 nozzle. I would imagine it should get a decent usable pressure and probably over 2 gpm. Would be a good test and, if so, it should be excellent for detailing.
Good video. Quick question, I live in Florida where hard water is common. Without having a water filter system in the house how can or what do you recommend as far as a portable filtration system maybe to attach to the unit.
Hello. I bought the 2000 PSI at Costco. Costco is having a sale price of $349.99 for the 3000 PSI starting on 3/28/2023. After watching your great review and testing of the products, I will get the 3000. Thanks Again!
Do you turn off the pressure washer when say scrubbing something your cleaning or let it run?
I got the 3000psi pressure washer and I really like it .
Great review video man and Thank You for it bro much much helpful to finally buy a pressure washer now
Thanks for the video. They offering any Father's Day specials
Any chance you could let us know what these test at with the Active Brand 3.7 rating 40 degree nozzle? I am super curious about what you recommend between either of these and the GWP2300 2.3 GPM. Any feedback between those?
Hello Josh,
I’m a French Montrealer from Canada !
I appreciate your video and the way you delivered it.
I watched your review of Greenworks 2 x 2300 psi and it’s very well done.
You seems to say that is the best pressure washer 2300 psi from it’s class ( compare to ryobi and the others)
My question : is the Greenworks 2000 psi is the best of it’s class (with Uber flex hose) compare to the 2300 psi ?
Watch do I lose if l choose the 2000 psi model (except 10 years warranty on motor with 2300 psi model) for car and around the house cleaning ? Price matters for me but if longevity make really a difference, I will choose 2300 model !
I’m a fan of Pan the organizer who live in Montreal too but your channel was a nice discover on the US side.
Thanks for your effort and continue your great review.

Hi 👋! You recommend a 3.5 orifice for the 40° nozzle, if I wanted a 25° nozzle, would the 3.5 also be safe, or should that be a 4.0 orifice? I'd appreciate your help, looking to get this machine for washing my own car.
Great video, thanks! I ordered the 3000 PSI model, but want to build that "T" with quick connects and outlet for the PSI Gauge like yours. Can you provide parts list? Thanks again!
Hey I'm getting ready maybe tonight to order a pressure washer! Been thinking hard about one of these 2 but why to you suppose they don't put the auto off feature on them? I need one mostly to clean my house siding which one would you recommend even if not the Greenworks? Thanks and good video 👍
I have owned the 2700psi model for about 2.5 years now. There is a lot to like with this machine along with some bad. The cleaning power is pretty good overall. The noise will drive you crazy over time, I wish it had a TSS system. My unit is now sounding different and is surging frequently. I am hoping it lasts long enough for the new Active 2.0 to come out...
Which do you think is better the green works pro 3000 or the dewalt 2400 ! I know that dewalt makes great power tools but on pressure washers I only know gas and haven’t had much experience with green works products. Thanks!
Great video
Which pressure washer would be , your top pick for cleaning house vinyl siding.
So what size nozzle works best for washing cars with this model? You said at 32:35 that you were using the 3.5 and getting 1000 psi but your chart says the 3.5 gets 1900 psi.
Hello, I was wondering if you have a larger orifice than the 3.5mm to test? I was thinking if a 4.0 or 4.5 exists then would that give you close to 2gpm with a 1400-1500 psi?
Great video! I just got this machine 3000 and foam canon was just shooting in the straight line. I believe it’s due to the orifice. Should I change it to 1.65 or 1.4?
I had this unit and broke after 3 uses at home for washing my car... the machine would not have power when I squeezed the trigger, well actually it would have it for a split second and gradually whine down and the psi and gpm went down to where u squeeze water with the motor off... I saw other reviews having this similar issue! 2x it did trip my power lol. Well my worst part of it all is I went back and forth between lowes and the company greenworks itself of how I could get it replaced or my refund since I was fed up. After 3 entire months lowes decided to be the bigger person and just give me store credit for it and thats when I saw the 2100 psi craftsman and I've had zero issues with power surge and zero issues with the performance and reliability of it. Also I got the machine for sale since it was an open box missing the turbo nozzle and got it for 40 bucks cheaper! And all in all the greenworks 3k psi went for 500 while this craftsman barely broke over 100. Psi difference isn't noticeable really at all and it has more gpm than rated (according to the review he did with it I believe he got 1.25 gpm or something) I just got my mjjc in the mail today and will test it tomorrow with the 1m1 orfice but I do have hard water so I know it still won't be as good as his foam with the water softener. Greenworks after a while wouldn't even answer my calls so it had the worst customer service in my opinion. Lowes wasn't trying to give me a hard time but I ordered it online thru their website since they don't carry it in stores therefore couldn't give me a refund for it.
Cool.
Thanks for that.
Which electric washer around the house and car wash Auto shutoff when not using.
Please advice
you da man Josh!
I'm trying to decide between these two units for around the house work. Josh do you prefer the water hose inlet/outlet on 2700 or 3000 best? Can you tell any noise difference between the two units and lastly do you think the 3000 runs more voltage than the 2700 or about the same.
Great review! I realize this is almost 3 years old, but maybe someone can share with me their experience with one of these machines and a surface cleaner for concrete driveways. What PSI is best? Do I need a lot of PSI to do a good clean? Thank you all.
Just picked up the 2700 from Lowes to replace my 8yr old car wash rig (personal, not commercial) and it has the same connection orientation as the 3000 in this video. Pressure hose to the side, inlet water to the front. For those looking to buy…. if it matters to you.. keep your eye out when you grab the box. I cannot get used to the motor never going silent. Unsure if I’ll keep it. Part of the allure to an Elec PW is the noise level.
Noise and no gas expenses ⛽oil changes.
Did you keep it? I’m trying to de use between the 2300 and 2700
@@adamg.1845 no. Didn’t like the never stopping engine noise. I understand the reason behind it but it’s not for me. Went with a smaller $99 1800psi green works at Lowes instead. Works great for my car washing needs. I have had a Pressure Pros belt driven 4000psi for about 11 years. I use that for serious cleaning (house, driveways fence).
I've noticed green works pressure washers tend to suck air through the soap dispenser, I plug mine to remove fluctuation
Is any one else curious about if the 3K PSI model can get a higher GPM with a larger orifice? if a 4 or 4.5 was added, shouldn't that drop the PSI more and raise the GPM?
GREAT REVIEW! I need to share that (just as Greenworks did w/their 2300 psi model) they "updated" this 3000 psi model quietly and without providing any comparison of their GPW3001 to the original GPW3000 still being sold at Lowes. The cover is different, the start/stop may be different (as I spoke w/Greenworks), and the largest issue is they abandoned the Uberflex 25' (blue) pressure hose in favor of a 3,000 psi-rated (black) pressure hose stating: this “new” hose is a better fit than the Uberflex hose as this is their highest-pressure unit, yet I asked and they have had NO ISSUES with the Uberflex hose. Seems a $30 downgrade to me. I'm sharing as you may be able to review this "new" GPW3001 against its original GPW3000 we all had watched on this channel!
I have confirmed you get the generic Black hose with the BestBuy unit as well. When you ask Greenworks what hose you are getting they say it is a UberFlex Propulse hose. I can confirm it is not. The Lowes unit is still the GPW3000 with the UberFlex hose. Maybe they are being switched out though.
I have the newer 3001 unit and l can tell you that that black hose is braided steel and the blue uber flex is garbage. I bought the 50' uber and returned it once l saw how cheap and light weight it was. The uber does kink if bent hard enough!
I've had the Costco Greenworks 3000 PSI unit since last June and it's been fantastic. Worth noting that you do need to bump up to a 1.35mm orifice on MJJC foam cannon with it to get best foam results.
Sigh. Got mine 2 days ago and used for an hour and it shut off... permanently. It gets power but wont turn on. Its been "cooling down" for 3 hours now and still won't turn on
@@jpjrcj The good news is that if you got it from Costco, it's fairly easy return process. It's a bummer that it failed for you right out of the box.
The only difference will be a different spring tension for the unloader, to change the PSI, and thus the GPM?
Thanks for the in-depth review.
I decided to get a gas powered unit. 3000 psi should mean 3000 psi.
Odd I just purchase a new Greenworks GPW3001 unit and can confirm the supplied Black hose is not an UnberFlex ProPulse hose. I called Greenworks and they told me the UnberFlex is the supplied hose. I have compared both hoses the supplied Black hose is not a UberFlex ProPulse hose. Maybe ProPulse is making and supplying the hose to Greenworks but it is a completely different design. I also noticed the power button has been moved to black trapezoid area.
do you recommend a 1.1 or 1.25 orifice on a mmjc pro 2 foam cannon? for GPW3001
Wow I've learned a lot from watching your videos.I had no idea thadd.There was a difference in orifice.Sizes with different power washer tips.But after looking at a gas price when I have with higher GPM. VS a smaller electric with a much lower GPM. I could see a noticeable difference in the orifice size with the tips that came with the pressure washer. So for washing a car I'm thinking of getting a 3.5 orifice 40° for my green works 3000 ps. I pro I saw you testing that and that seems like. There would be a decent amount of water output to get the soap from the phone can't leave quicker
If I have soap in it will it only dispense the soap with the black nozzle? Is there a shut off for the soap? Will it stop dispense of soap if I use the other colors?
I just bought the Greenworks Pro 2700 Psi unit brand new sealed in box on craigslist for $225, and it came with a brand new sealed in box 12" greenworks 2300 psi surface cleaner. I think I got a pretty good deal. I was looking for an electric washer primarily for detailing my cars. I already had a brand new Simpson belt driven gas pressure washer rated at 4200 Psi @ 4+GPM, with a Honda GX390 engine. For gas powered... Belt Driven is the way to go, it really saves your pump and engine from a lot of wear and makes both last a lot longer. The gas one is just a little overkill with the GPM flow, particularly with my whole house reverse osmosis system in my house in FL, it would just drain the tank too quickly for no reason...we just bought the house, so in process of remodeling, and will probably either replace the current 300 Gallon tank with something bigger like 500-700 Gallons, or maybe just add a secondary tank.
Anyway, between the two, I think I got my needs covered. Now I kinda want the OG version of the Obsessed Garage Mosmatic spray gun...to replace my MTM Aqualine SGS-35 gun. I'll probably sell the MTM gun...I only used it like twice last season. Kinda want the various Mosmatic connections too, but hard to justify paying $55+ for a quick connect, when an MTM stainless steel one is like $10.
Still loving the 2700? I’m trying to decide between the 2300 and 2700
@@adamg.1845 For me those two are two different machines. The 2300 is more of a home gamer unit, the 2700 is a bit more robust. It has a proper induction motor, a better frame setup in case you wanna customize later, etc. Given the choice I'd go with the 2700 or the 3000 if thats all you need. Probably your best bet for electric pressure washers before going actual commercial electric, like Kranzle, Pressure Pro, Northern Tool, etc...The one annoying thing with the 2700/3000 is they don't come with a Start/Stop system, so you have to manually power them On/Off everytime.
Great content thanks. I have the Karcher K5 Premium and not really loving it. Washing cars, driveway and lawn furniture. After watching your review, I'm thinking of getting the Greenworks Pro 2300. Is there a better option you would recommend?
my k5 premium broke after only 30 uses! tried the usual fixes, but something electrical broke, would cost more to have it repaired than it was worth. considering getting a gas pw which are said to be more reliable.
4:15 Teflon is not needed as the threads are straight threads and do no perform any sealing function. Air and water will leak through straight threads. The sealing is function is provided by deformation of the o-ring into the mating boss. The straight threads are strictly to provide the mechanical connection.
This is in contrast to NPT Pipe thread which is tapered, and relay on both thread deformation coupled with a sealing agent (sealing compound and/or Teflon tape) to make the mechanical air/fluid seal.
Hi, suppose we were to get a 0 degree nozzle, will they ramp up the psi?? And how can we increase psi on the 3000 model, I remember you said working psi is 2700, so suppose I want 2900, for example??
Hey Josh. Impressive pressure for an electric home unit... too bad the gpm isnt better.. for home projects I'd say this is a great unit except for the constant noise... not sure I'd like that.... for vehicles it's still gotta be an active or CAT by active... great review ...
You probably already know this by now, but the way that motor starts, sounds like their using soft start technology. Which is a good thing, it's what will allow that motor to last longer. Also the ramping up and down is way better on the motor then it stopping and starting all the time, all of this puts way less strain on the motor and is far more energy efficient. The old ways of starting and running a motor was always pushing the motor to its maximum capacity whether it needed to or not. And motors really don't like the frequent stop and start, it wears them out much faster. So, that's actually a great selling feature, it tells me that the motor will last longer and raises my interest in this brand a lot more then it was!
How to find out what is the factory size of the orifice pressure washer nozzles?
Thanks much for your excellent review. I bought this unit because of your review. Question, every time I use it both water connectors get extremely tight to the point I need pliers to unscrew. Any reason why this happens, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
Here's a tip....i used pool/ spa lube on all the connections, threads, o-rings, and any quick connects. Makes assembly/disassembly easier, saves the o-rings, and helps prevent leaks too. Just don't use globs of the stuff. 😉
Just bought the 2700psi (4/22/23). Home use for deck, concrete, and siding cleaning.
Hope this Greenworks lasts; my old Karcher was 20yo. 🤞
What car soap do you suggest for cleaning vehicles?
Awesome...i want it.
I ordered the 50' blue hose and can't find quick connects that will work or fit my gas powered dewalt pressure washer. Even took a trip to the local hardware store and they didn't have any that would fit it either. Says 5/8 on advertising and says 1/4 on hose
That constant-on makes this a "no go" for me for car washing/detailing
You check out the Active VE52 pressure washer review that he did yet? Buddy of mine is getting into detailing and just swooped that one. Decent GPM and very quiet. Also doesn’t run constantly and is a very compact design.
Yup. Completely useless in my opinion. And the noise it made in the background was really annoying while Josh was talking.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Yes, I think thats what I'm going to go with (or its CAT counterpart). I already have a gas unit for the heavier jobs around the house, so I don't need a ton of PSI in an electric PW.
I used the 2700 psi model this past weekend. (Borrowed from work to test) The noise it makes is not loud at all and I used it to wash my Jeep. Worked awesome. Will be buying my own unit.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy He might have issues with the Active as a full time detailer. Those are only rated for 100 hours or so
How do I use the soap on the 3000 psi one. I used the soap tip. Put soap made for these. No soap just water. Nothing is coming in the little tube from the soap to the sprayer
Are the Quick Connect fittings listed in the details for this pressure washer?
What do you do with all these pressure washers you buy? Return them? Give them away? Keep them?
Do you recommend these over the Ryobi 2700 or 3000?
do you have a quick connect you like? Some of the ones I buy never seem to last
You spoke about whether the units can be run vertically? Once you attach the garden hose you run a sharp bend if you keep it vertical, if it rest horizontal you get a 100% straight travel for water flow efficiency. Hoses make a huge difference in elbows 90 degree with plumbing but here its not a 90 bend but a stiff hose would not rest comfortably vertically. I purchased the GreenWorks 3,000 PSI today 25% off for Black Friday and so I got it for $299 rather than $399.
Great Deal!!!
Has it been reliable? Today it's $279 memorial day 2024 sales
I'm considering the 3000psi model, but I'm really curious how it performs with something like a Karcher 15" surface cleaner for sidewalks and driveways. I want to use this for both cleaning my house siding and driveways, as well as car detailing.
I have the 3000 PSI Greenworks from Costco and you really need to use the turbo nozzle when cleaning sidewalks and driveways, unless you're only dealing with minimal amounts of dirt/moss. The surface cleaner just takes too long to remove any decent amount of buildup.
Where can I get the pressure meter, or a parts list to make it diy.
Hope that they are developing a 80v Pressure Washer.
so tell us what a 4.0 nozzle on 3000 unit gets. probably. 1200 psi @ 2.2gpm. ? wouldn't that be the best option
That’s funny, I actually started filming a similar video on my GPW3000 yesterday because nobody else had made one with pressures or GPM yet, and then you post one today 🤣 Interesting pressure readings though. Mine only made 2000-2200 with the 15° as opposed to your 2700. With the 25° I got 1800-2000 as opposed to your 2200. 40° I got 1800-2000 as opposed to your 2200. Mine also fluctuated a bit which is why there’s a small range of pressure with each tip. Not sure why it was doing that. My GPM’s were also slightly lower at around 1.15-1.2 GPM for all tips besides the turbo and soap. Those were almost to 1.7 GPM. Kinda weird, and I’m jealous yours performs slightly better lol. Great video as always!
Miami gets preferential treatment.
Are you going to test the new 60V 3000-PSI 2.0 GPM Electric Pressure Washer w/ (2) 5.0Ah Batteries & Dual-Port Charger I am wondering how long you can power wash with the batteries 20 minutes-60 minutes? Thanks.
Would you say this is a better buy than the harbor freight ..I just picked up masterforce from menards 2000psi verry low numbers
You also tested the Greenworks 2300 and you were quite impressed with it, except for the delay. The 2300 also shuts off when it’s not being used. Could you advise of the 3, 2300, 2700 and 3000, your thoughts?
Yes I’d love to know that as well
thing for me is I want it to shut off when your off the trigger 3000 runs all the time does the 2700 run all the time to my 2030 sunjoe shuts off unless trigger is pulled.
NEVER use Teflon tape or any other thread sealant on a fitting with o-rings. Remember, the seal is created by the o-rings, not the threads. Putting anything extra into the threads just creates risk of contaminating the o-ring seal, so you're more likely to do harm than good. Even if you tried, you could never seal a set of straight threads under 3000 psi with Teflon tape.
Even in high-pressure hydraulic systems with threaded connections (tapered thread, since the seal is created at the threads themselves as designed) Teflon tape is never recommended, only an approved liquid thread sealant. Teflon bits can get into the fluid and damage components like the hydraulic pump which has very close tolerances.
@Jack Boudreaux Because he's on the internet where all is 100% legit..like you.
Do a review of the 3000 PSI 2.0 GPM
