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.
Man, oh, man, excellent video. I picked up mine today from Lowe's for $399.99 (less my 10 % military discount). Yesterday, I had bought the 2300 psi GW pressure washer, but it would not run with my water faucet turned full on. If I turned the water on about 1/2 way it would run. I called Greeworks and after waiting on hold about 2 hours a very nice lady connected to me. She said it was supposed to run at "full faucet". I was concerned that the 2300 psi one was maybe going to give me trouble - I returned it. The 2300-psi one was the last one they had, so I bought this 3000-psi one. I'll put it together tomorrow.
I've read the more GPM you have the faster, the better it cleans. If that is true this GW would be a better unit, The Greenworks Pro 2700 PSI pressure washer is powerful and reliable, delivering 2.3 Max GPM
Yours still working??? And if so, how much have you used it? I be just tired of buying things just to throw it away because it's junk. I need something I can count on when needed. thanks
I still have it and it's still working just as good! I don't use it a ton, probably about 4 times per summer. It's done longer projects though like the siding all around my mom's mobile home plus several cement patio cleanings and some car washes. It's also been in the garage the entire time which can vary from -30 to 110 depending on the season lol.
Dumping my Gas 3100 Ryobi,I loved it for the three times I could start it and use it ! Season 1. Season 2, even though run dry and an additive in the gas, I could not start it, I had it repaired and rebuilt at 1/3 of its cost new, ran it on pure gas vs 10% methanol but ,, Every spring clean was a real family event in a negative sense.When and if it restarted it took us 30 minutes, even then the Honda engine hunting, NOW looking for an electric and going with the great review from A on Greenworks 2700 , then spotted yours more recent. Thanks for updating ! Great review, learned from other reviews. Some Questions to you as a user. 1) Were the handle 'nuts' still plastic thread or metal insert? 2) Hose seemed to have steel or aluminum fittings on to brass ? Dielectric problem later on as they interchange electrons with water and bind up? 3) A swivel on the power cord would be good, can you turn it 90Degrees and pull the whole power chord off ? 4) Install quick connects , what diameter ? Did you do this upgrade on your hoses, both makes seem good. Did you mention electric length and hose length use standard ? 5) It has a pressure gauge, did you add that >? (probably obviously you did) 6) Flow test advice, Bucket test advice, do as Aaron, Indeed you probably figured it out, from a cold start it takes time to build pressure for a smaller orifice ! Start the pump and then start the stopwatch at 10 seconds once the flow has built up and the pressure gauge stabilized. Count down 10,9,8 etc to 3,2,1 change from one open bucket to the measure bucket with no small fancy hole in the middle. Point the hose at the side and it will flow into the swirl in the measure bucket and not splash back. (I did this in the 90s on liquid additive pumps in the Oilfield, we had two be very accurate). 7) Interested to hear if the 'chrome' gun extensions rusted ? I had Ryobi and Orange Box extensions and they rusted like heck in Texas (high humidity garages) . 8) GREAT measurement on the 20 Amp vs 15 Amp and I have to review my outside outlets , well done !! Bottom line, a great review ! I am angled towards Greenworks electric pressure washers. To get my driveway and walkways clean is $400 from a handyman or Pressure washer company for one time. With this I can do all, in fact she can do all also a well as my kids! The physics to note, that I am not really able to calculate is that if you are going longer, from an outlet to say the front of your yard/driveway, you need either a long extension chord from your 20Amp external outlet or the same length of a water hose extension. Either way you will get a loss. My idea is that I buy a high (thick) extension chord and use a 25-50 ft hose. I think you will gain more on investing in a high flow electric extension chord to power it (less resistance) , to the unit. The pressure loss between 25 ft and 50 ft may be greater. Just my opinion as an old Engineer, but there are electrical and fluid dynamic people out there who may agree or disagree Thanks buddy ! Great review!
Thank you! This is an impressively long comment, so I'll do my best do address everything. I too, have been let down too many times by certain gas applications. Have a 1998 Yard Machine lawn mower that's never had the carb cleaned, yet somehow runs. Yet I bought a Remington gas powered weed whip last year and it worked great. This year, barely runs and bogs out when trying to rev it up. Going with a Milwaukee since I have Milwaukee batteries. Then probably the Milwaukee leaf blower too, once my Husqvarna craps out. 1.) I initially thought that the handle nuts on the GWP3000 were plastic because of Aaron's video, but upon closer inspection, mine are actually black painted metal inserts within the plastic knobs, but they did look plastic at first glance. I've had them on and off several times so far with no issues. 2.) There could be possible issues down the road with the mixture of metal fittings, but I THINK the steel is stainless, so I'm thinking the brass would just corrode if anything and need to be replaced. But other that possible hard water, the fittings aren't exposed to many other elements, and they're typically disconnected anyways when not in use. 3.) I'll need a little more clarification on this one. I'm not sure what you mean when you're talking about rotating the power cord and removing it. I'd have to check it out, but I'm fairly sure it's hardwired to the machine. 4.) I believe the quick connects were 3/8" ID, and the only quick connects used in this video were from the pressure hose to the gun and pressure hose to the machine. Machine was tested with standard 35' power cord and standard 25' Uberflex 1/4" ID hose. 5.) Yes, I added the quick connect pressure gauge. Got it for about $20 on Amazon. I actually have an accessory test video that will be coming out this coming Wednesday showing how this pressure washer works with an 11" surface cleaner and a foam cannon. I'll also show the quick connects and another handle. 6.) For the most part, the flow test seemed to be constant pressures once all the air was purged from the lines and the pump, but good to know for the future. 7.) No rust yet on the metal wand extensions, and we do get pretty humid here as well. 8.) Thanks! As far as an extension cord or extended pressure hose, they don't want you to use an extension cord with them since the breaker is at the end of the factory cord, but if you get a thicker cord with proper gauge wiring like you mentioned, you should be fine. I really don't think you'll be losing much, if any amperage with an extension cord though. You could always test this once you get your setup with a pressure gauge, once with extension cord, then again without. The PSI also didn't seem to change when I went to the 50' Uberflex vs the factory 25' hose. I recorded 2000 PSI with the 40 degree nozzle with both hoses. Hope this helps you out!
How is yours doing, still working good? I just ordered this yesterday, $349 from greenworks I had the greenworks pro 2700 but it was disappointing, of course I was used to my Simpson 3600 psi. The 2700 was ok for washing my truck but not so good for my vinyl siding on my home. So I thought I'd give the 3000 a try I heard it performed better, I just want a descent electric washer mostly for car wash and twice a year on the house.
Mine hasn’t had any issues yet! I’ve used it probably 10 times, and 1 of those times was to pressure wash the siding on my mom’s trailer. I think I ended up using the turbo nozzle from a few feet away because it seemed to work the best. Not sure how much better it actually performs over the 2700. This is about as powerful as you’re going to get out of a residential electric unit. Anything over 3000 psi and you’d need gas or commercial electric, even if the manufacturer claims over 3000 psi.
@TonyTheTruckGuy your right, it was the highest pressure I could find in electric. Thanks for the input and the in depth testing you did. My washer is scheduled to delivered on Friday the 16th.
Excellent review. Thanks. I just ordered one so this is very helpful showing everything from assembly to water usage to power draw. I am off grid so things like water usage and power draw are very important. Again, thanks.
Nicely done. You managed to cram so much valuable information into a single review. It seems you made a really good decision in your purchase of this model. From here, I'll be viewing your video on attachments, then checking my breaker box ratings to see if I can make this thing work for me.
Thanks, I appreciate it! Yeah this is about as powerful as you’re going to get out of a non commercial electric unit. If someone needs more heavy duty pressure, then gas or commercial electric is the only way.
Correct. You’re going to be very hard pressed to find a non commercial electric pressure washer that will actually hit that 3,000 mark while flowing. This one and Ryobi are the closest I’ve personally seen.
QUESTIONS: 1) what is its predicted reliability? ( my karcher k5 premium died after 40 uses 🤬 ) 2) what are the pros&cons of the pressure washer motor continually operating when no demand ? 3) are the accessories generic or proprietary?
I can’t speak on reliability yet as I just got this unit last summer and I e only used it a few times, so only time will tell on that. I’m hoping if there’s any issues, they will honor the warranty and fix the issue. The pros of the unit running constantly are that you have instant pressure without any lag when you pull the trigger, but they recommend powering the unit off of its going to be just idling for 5 minutes or more at a time. The accessories seem to be pretty generic. 14mm ID on the pressure hose with 22mm OD on the threads. All the accessories I’ve tried so far all worked without issue.
I don’t use it a ton, but it’s still working as it did in the video here with no issues so I can’t complain! Cleaned the patio probably 3 times with it, pressure washed the entire outside of my mom’s mobile home, and a few truck washes with it. Also sits out in the garage when it gets super cold in the winter and she keeps kicking.
How do you get the soap dispenser to work? I added soap to the reservoir, filled with water, put on the black soap tip. No soap comes out. Can't see any water flowing through the clear tube.
I had to install a 20 amp circuit to use this pressure washer. Ditched a Honda gas for it and I’m glad I did. 15 amp circuit tripped like crazy even with nothing else plugged in.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy well, I liked it enough to get a dedicated 20 amp circuit installed as well as a 100’ 12 ga. Extension cord. :-) Had the Honda for almost 20 years so it was time and I was tired of pull starts, oil changes and gasoline.
Amazing video. I’m a homeowner looking for a pressure washer for patio, siding, concrete wall, car. 2300 or 2700 or 3000? I know the 2300 has total stop and the 2700 and 3000 don’t. Help! 😂
Haha I feel you. I wasn't crazy about the constantly running motor, but I've had good luck with it so far. I would say higher the pressure the better though for the uses that you listed. If it was just car wash and such then I'd say just go with the 2300, but for patio and concrete and siding, I'd probably go for the 2700 or 3000 if you can find a decent deal. Not a pressure washer expert by any means, but just my 2 cents.
Great review. Pretty scientific and organized methods for test. I think your increase in pressure is due to the seals breaking in after a bit of use, and the expansion of the seals due to heat.
I purchased one directly from Greenworks and it was delivered by FedEx last week. I noticed a defect in the handle - it was drilled wrong and won't slide all the way in the lower handle causing it to be unstable. I called Greenworks and they don't have parts for that model since it is new so I need to place it all back in the box to be picked up by Fed Ex. They are shipping a new unit. Hopefully, that one is okay. Great service but the assembly line flaw spooked me a bit.
Darn that’s a bummer it showed up that way. Hopefully quality control steps up a bit. Glad to hear customer service was helpful, though! Look forward to hearing how the next unit works.
I hear you on the QC issue. I ordered the 2700 and it was leaking oil from the pump. Contacted Greenworks and they replaced it, promptly. Weird thing is it has the hose connections of the 3000 but it's on a 2700 chassis. I told the gal I'd pay for an upgrade but she said they couldn't do that. Maybe they did, I dunno but the sticker on the back of the unit says 2700. They had me dispose of the defective unit but I salvaged what I could before throwing it away. I'll test with a gauge when spring rolls around.
@@APrawks For me the drama with Greenworks has continued to a level that is almost comical. The first or original GPW3000 was picked up by FedEx. Received a replacement and I noticed there was an abundance of scratches on that unit. I called customer service and had to explain the entire situation to that person because he had no history of events leading to the replacements. Once all that time was wasted doing that, the rep told me that he will replace that second unit because he suspected it was a previous return from another customer. So, once again, I box up and it is picked up my FedEx. Then the third unit arrives, I open the box and it was immediately clear that the unit was definitely a return from another customer. Everything was not wrapped and it was clear the way it was packed that it was not "new" from the factory. Here is where it gets comical. Just out of curiosity, I took a photo of the serial number on that third unit, checked my past records and sure enough it was the same original unit I returned. So I was the previous customer that returned that unit and they circled it right back to me. LOL. I called customer service, once again had to tell the entire story because they were clueless of the history. Mind you, there were emails and also warranty registrations with my contact info. Now they have a fourth unit on it's way that I will refuse shipment on if I can catch FedEx during delivery. They don't ring the bell and just drop the box on my front porch. I found that Generac makes a very similar electric pressure washer for a bit less and will be ordering that. My opinion is that Greenworks does make good products but something is amiss with their manufacturing or design where a very few have issues. More importantly, those who are unlucky enough to receive a Greenworks product with issues will drive themselves to drink when dealing with their customer service.
@@anthonycotugno7369 Yeah, they like to refurbish returns and then pass them on. The problem is that if you pay $400 for something you should be getting new.
Yeah, if the person's house you're at only has a 15A breaker for that particular outlet, it will probably trip pretty frequently. What type of mobile service are you trying to do? If it's just car detailing, there's a few other pressure washers that may work better.
Depends how heavy you’re going to work it. Most “commercial” pressure washers are higher powered and draw more amperage. This is about as powerful as you can get while still using a normal 110v outlet and 20amp breaker. I’d does fine for tasks around the house but for commercial you might want something heavier duty.
I have not tested the sun joe, but even if it made the full 2030 psi, that’s still less than the 3000 psi from this unit. The sun Joe DOES put out slightly more GPM, IF their claim is accurate. Again, I have not tested that unit.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Thank you very much I did the calculations. The 11.7amp power surge is 1404 watts. The idle of 4.5 is 540 watts. 19amp surge when pressing trigger is 2280 watts 14.8 amp using nozzle(not turbo) is 1776 watts.. I need a bigger blueyetti power bank. Great video.
Does the handle on your pressure wobble where the hex head nuts are? I installed them correctly, but the handle still wobbles, kind of frustrating and indicates low quality.
You mean the handle of the power unit or the handle? If you mean where the tube handle attaches to the other tube handle with the plastic wing nuts then yeah mine has some play also. Not a very machined fit, but if that’s the biggest gripe then I think you’ll still be happy. It bothers my OCD also even though I know it won’t be a problem.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Yes, where the handle attaches to the other tube handle. It is a bit sloppy, thanks. I would JB Weld it, but then I would not be able to reduce the travel height.
I haven’t had a chance to use mine for anything like that and I’m not sure how much pressure is required to remove stain, but I would guess the 15° nozzle. The turbo nozzle is too fine and would etch into the wood.
I don’t think any pressure washer is really going to have any power left at 50 feet if I’m being honest. It depends what your goal is and how stubborn the cleaned surface is. This one has to be within about a foot or 2 for effective pressure. It will shoot water probably 20+ feet but there’s no pressure that far out as they aren’t designed like that. You may be able to get extended wand rods to reach higher places, but I haven’t looked into that.
You're only limited by the length of the hose, if you're climbing a ladder. You may want to look into buying an extension wand made specifically for power washing 2-story buildings. I have one and it's a bit tiresome trying to manhandle it but it beats climbing and moving a ladder multiple times.
As an aside, the hose holder goes on top of the metal plate, not under, but obviously either way works.Also, the power cord holder is designed so that the "arms" rotate, making it easy to simply rotate them and slip the entire cord off rather than having to unwind every time. Many vacuum cleaners have similar cord storage where a single arm rotates to allow the cord to slip off as one "unit".
Not sure how I would calibrate it or check the calibration, it just seems to be what it is. No adjustments or anything. If you look closely, there’s more line between the 1000 and 2000 psi mark than there are between 0 and 1000 which leads me to believe it probably needs a good 100-300 psi to even register.
excellent review! bought the same last year as well, so far this year I'm still really likes it. the problem I have so far is the turbo tip broke on me because I have dropped it once, user error I guess, wish they're more durable, second I notice the tips don't spread the water evenly, it hit harder at the 2 ends of the fan and weaker in the middle so when I use to clean something it leave a streak of a sort. lastly, the surface cleaner that comes with it is really hard to move while shooting, not sure i got a bad unit or I use it wrong.
Yeah that’s annoying that the turbo nozzle broke from 1 drop. I haven’t really had the fan pressure issue you mentioned though. Which surface cleaner did yours come with? Mine didn’t come with one so I got the greenworks 11”. I noticed mine is also hard to push sometimes but it seems to be when the trigger isn’t pulled all the way. I think it relies on the higher pressure to kind of keep it afloat. I always run the surface cleaner with full force and keep it moving out of large pools of water that may form.
Thanks for this. It was a thorough and technical review, and I learned what's considered good and bad and what to look for in a pressure washer. Do you think this could handle being used for a little commercial work? More specifically, do you think it can do a satisfactory job for a customer, and in an efficient amount of time?
I guess it depends what you’ll be doing with it and how many hours you’ll be using it. I have another video here testing a few products with it just to see what it can do - ua-cam.com/video/XiTRqv5S2T0/v-deo.html
I can’t really weigh in on that as this is the only one I’ve tried. So I don’t really have anything to compare it to. I’m sure there’s a few videos on UA-cam here of people testing different pressure gauges that could offer you better advice
@@TonyTheTruckGuy understood, but that wasted power has to go somewhere. i suspect that there is a bypass valve system which allows the pump output to go back to the pump inlet with somekind of restriction. would not this circulation loop at least heat the water going around?
@@arkrainflood Yeah there’s probably a relief valve like you said where it just recirculates the water or pressure it already made or something. That’s a good question though I’m not exactly sure how it operates but as far as I e witnessed there’s no warm water
You can see at 19:51 the machine itself produces 3000 psi, but the actual working pressure depends on the nozzle and orifice size. 2200 psi was about the highest I was with the 15° nozzle I believe. The turbo nozzle is only like 800-1200 psi but it still works great for cleaning because of how small the stream is. Even though it’s low psi, it has a ton of pressure.
Just an FYI, the spike pressure when you're not pulling the trigger, typically should be a couple hundred Psi above the rated working pressure. The working pressure should be within a hundred or two of the rated Psi. What that means in practice with a machine rated at 3000 psi, is you should see between 3200-3400 spike pressure, and around 2700-3000 working pressure. Elevation, fab tolerances, and guage accuracy tolerance, all would play in seeing slightly different numbers. But they shouldn't be 800-1000psi off the mark with... I would contact Greenworks and see if they could run you through a tech support checklist, and if nothing fixes the pressure issue, send you a new unit. The only other thing is they may have included the wrong size orifice tips, if nothing is technically wrong with the machine. The fact that Josh got 2700 working psi with his 15 degree tip, tells me something is off with ur unit...unless your guage is just lying to you, lol! Btw, one last thing, the motor in this unit isnt your normal DC Brushless unit, it should be an induction motor, which is why its larger, heavier and quieter.
I’ve yet to see any non-commercial electric pressure washer make their max rated pressure while actually flowing water. I bought this unit after watching some reviews on the 2700 psi unit, so I knew it wouldn’t be putting out 3000 while working.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy I'll grant you that all these budget washer companies lie on their specs. But still, you should be seeing higher pressure, at least with the 15 degree tip. Josh got 2700 psi out of the same machine with that tip. 500 psi less than that isn't a normal variance. Either they sent the wrong orifice tips, or there's something wrong with the unit.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy he was using the tip supplied with the 3000 psi unit. In his testing he got 2700 psi from the 3000 psi machine, snd 2500 psi from the 2700 psi machine. Both with their respective 15 degree tips.
As long as your garden hose has a threaded metal end on it, it just attaches right to the power washer. The power washer has a rotating collar that threads onto the garden hose and there's a rubber seal in there that gets pinched once it gets tight to keep everything sealed up.
Hi Tony great review, I just have a few questions, when they say 3000psi do they mean 3000psi while the motor is running and idle, or do they mean when we press the trigger, one of the tips should give us 3000psi?? Also does it come with a 0 degree nozzle if not, do you think we can 3000psi or close with a 0 degree nozzle?? Thanks
3000 is the max rated pressure. It will physically build that pressure when you power it up, as seen in the video, but when you pull the trigger, it drops. You’ll have to watch again because I can’t remember exactly but I think the actual working pressure was 2200-2400 psi. No 0° tip with this kit but it does come with the turbo nozzle and you can just buy a set of tips for pretty cheap if you really want a 0°
@@TonyTheTruckGuy thanks, I have seen the video and it was slightly under 2600psi, so this means as per your video 15 degree nozzle is the max psi I can get out of it. Actually I'm a newcomer in buying pressure washers so that is why I'm asking these questions and watching videos. The thing is I bought this washer a week back, so far impressive just that there are some concrete stains of either leaves or soil that I was unable to remove and was wondering do I need to get a stronger washer with 5000psi or do we take the help of some chemicals to soak the stain then blast it off. I'm sure you had same experience at sime point. I was entirely relying on water pressure and I feel I'm wrong. What's your experience with gas washers?
@@vixter1980 Yeah, unfortunately some stains may not be able to be removed with pressured water on concrete. It may need to by actually ground or sanded off. The turbo nozzle actually produces the most powerful stream, despite having a lower PSI. That thing can do some damage. Gas pressure washers can make more power for sure, they’re just more maintenance and make more noise typically.
Fun fact 2:02... 3,000psi is basically the TOP of what a residential pressure washer can do (above 1GPM) because you simply CAN NOT draw anymore power from a standard electrical outlet (NEMA5-15). Your standard electrical outlet have a max current rating of 15amps... which means any outlet in your house can NOMINALLY provide 1,800W of power, but for safety, appliances should only be designed to use 80% of the total capacity (so 1,440W) In order to compress 1GPM of water to 3,000psi, it takes 1,305W of power... This pressure washer is rated for 3,000psi @ 1.1GPM (which is 1,425W). See how close those two numbers (1,425W & 1,440W) are? Most of the pressure washers listed on Amazon are deceptively marketing their pressure washers by listing the MAXIMUM pressure and MAXIMUM flow they can handle, when in reality, they're never operating at those conditions... but they want you to mislead you into believing that that's their operating pressures. It's very sleazy.
Yep, I found after watching many reviews that all those cheap ones on Amazon don’t put out anywhere close to what they’re rated for. The Greenworks and Ryobi seemed to be pretty on-point though.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy yup, I was just looking at a few the other day and decided to look a little closer (as to how they were listing 3,500psi and 2GPM)... Turns out if you look down into the specs on most of them that's the MAX SYSTEM pressure and max flow at 100psi. In other words, it's only rated to not explode at 3,500psi... 🤦So stupid. Thus why I'm now watching videos on the greenworks power washer!
I actually have another video here showing how it works with a few accessories including their surface cleaner - ua-cam.com/video/XiTRqv5S2T0/v-deo.html
These cheaper electric units make me super nervous and distrustful. They constantly play games with their advertised ratings, they include different size orifice tips, so you never know what pressure you're gonna actually get until you get your unit home. The actual working pressure seems to be all over the place, one user sees 2700, another sees 2200, etc. I keep wanting to get an electric unit, as an add-on to my 4200 psi 4+ Gpm, belt driven gas unit, but can't trust the quality of any of the cheaper electric units - and find it hard to justify spending $1500-3500 on a proper commercial electric unit, just to wash my car and some other small stuff around the house easier. So I'm stuck. I have an opportunity to pick this Greenworks 3000psi unit up for $285, but not sure if I should pull the trigger
Greenworks or Ryobi are the only 2 reasonably priced, non-commercial electric pressure washers that even come close to their claimed numbers based on the videos/research I did before buying, which is why I ended up with this one. I’ve used mine to pressure wash the siding around my mom’s mobile home twice, also washed my truck a few times with it and used it with the surface cleaner on our concrete patio area a few times and it has held up well so far in the year or so I’ve had it. For $285 you’d be pretty hard pressed to beat it. None of those cheap ones off of Amazon will ever come close to the 3000 or 4000 psi sticker they slap on. It is a bit annoying that you don’t actually get 3000 psi working pressure, but I knew that going into it since I watched the 2700 psi review. It’s still enough pressure for most scenarios, and you’d have the gas unit just in case.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy my problem is currently the gas unit is in my house in FL, while I'm in my PA home. That's really why I need another unit, thing is I spend less time here, so I didnt want to leave my main washer here, or lug it back and forth. My problem is no matter how good of a deal it seems, if it won't do what I need, it doesnt work for me. I have a lot of asphalt to clean, if it can't hit close to 3000 psi, at a minimum, it doesn't work for me. At that point I'd rather spend $650-850 and get a direct drive gas unit rated for 3600-4000 at 2.5 - 3.5 gpm. I would consider a commercial electric unit, but only for garage use, as they're all 230-240V units. However I need mine to be mobile...I guess if I throw 100 -200 feet of hose on it, it might be alright, but thats a lot of expense for no real performance or convenience gain (especially considering that for an equivalent commercial electric unit it'll be over $3000).
@@TonyTheTruckGuy we get a lot of pollen, that turns everything a nasty shade of green, as well as regular old dirt, occasional small oil/gas stain, etc. I particularly need it for when I prep the ashpalt for resealing every few years. I also have a fairly large concrete slab patio area that needs regular cleaning as its under a bunch of trees. As well as a two story deck, that requires regular cleaning. That's all just regular maintenance items, which don't include any special projects, or regular car detailing.
@@BigBear-- Hmm. Well it does seem to work fine for stuff like that so far on the concrete I’ve used it with a surface cleaner. I have another video testing some accessories with this unit you can check out. Oil stains might be the only tricky thing. They don’t like to lift out so easily even with high pressure once they’ve had time to soak in.
For my needs I just bought the craftsman 2100 psi electric pressure washer on Josh’s recommendations, I ordered some of the accessories like the Uber flex hose, if I need more pressure I also have a gas pressure washer, really great review, definitely helps people out, thank you 👍😁
I believe I messed up on the side with the hose tray, it should be bolted on top of the plate that goes across instead of under but it doesn’t really matter haha.
Lol see you know I only followed your video because that’s how I did it. I’ll go and fix it tomorrow, made me look at the stock photo and you are right. Thanks for the heads up.
Did that on purpose just to see how the 2000 psi rated cleaner would hold up to higher pressure haha. Plus it was the cheapest so I went with that one over a 15”. Just used it the other day and it actually worked pretty good. I’ll have another video up shortly on the accessories.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy my gpw3000 actually just failed a couple days ago, the pump lost pressure even though the motor was still running. I called customer support and they asked me a few questions about the machine, and had me hook up the hoses and plug to hear the machine run. thankfully they are sending a new one out free of charge to replace it!
Just purchased one. I love the power and the low noise. I do which they has stuck to the design of the 2300 model, I prefer the upright handle to the curved back ones on the 2700 and 3000 models. The wand is also a little short but that's easy to replace and I already had a longer one from my gas unit.
True, I just have a long torso so I find that I have to bend over with the included wand. I had the same issue with my other units which is why I purchased a longer wand. I do find that I can turn the handle around when I'm storing it so nots not so long which is definitely a plus over the 2300 style. I can't wait to test it with my foam canon.
@@cm.5023 Ohhh yeah if you’re washing the ground I can see how it might be short. I got it mainly to use with the surface cleaner and foam cannon. Works pretty decent with a decent foam cannon despite not having high GPM
@@TonyTheTruckGuy A new surface cleaner is on my list of needs. I have the small greenworks model which I got several years ago but it has brass bushings and I want to get something that uses ball bearings. Which model do you have?
Picked one up, works great I find that the turbo nozzle seems to be most effective. It’s strong enough to strip paint from wood that is not in great shape. It’s def less fatiguing than 3000psi has machines when you get to hours of washing( which is a natural thing once you start seeing things come clean) you got a great deal I just went and paid $400 at Blowes
Have you actually compared them in person though? All these “3000 psi” pressure washers on Amazon don’t put out anywhere near what they’re rated for as far as all the tests I’ve seen on here. That’s actually why I ended up with this one. It was one of the few in this price range that actually lives up to the claims for the most part.
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 think you’re right and they have updated it since I got mine. I’ll have to see if there’s any other reviews on it to see that hose. If I ever get the chance I’ll definitely test it.
Great review! I bought one a few months ago and am getting ready to pressure wash our paver patio. When looking at the different gauges, would you recommend using the 40 degree to wash and 25 to rinse or 40 for both? Thanks!
You’ll have to kind of play it by ear and see what works best for you. The 25° cleans a bit better, but requires more back and forth since it makes a smaller stream. You may find that the 40° works just fine.
How did your cleaning turn out on the paver patio? What tip worked best for this job? Also, did it damage any of the joint sealer (polymeric sand)? I hear pressure washing pavers will wash out the sand.
How does you GPW3000 work with the Surface Cleaner? I purchased the my GPW3000 and the Greenworks 15-in 3100 PSI Rotating Surface Cleaner. It does not rotate when attach to the pressure washer. I do get water. I went through the troubleshooting process with Greenworks support and they are going to send me another surface cleaner. However, I am curious it the problem is not with the pressure washer itself. What water pressure gauge system are you using?
So I actually got the 11” surface cleaner instead even though it’s rated for less pressure. It works pretty well and I have another video dropping this Wednesday showing the surface cleaner as well as a few other accessories on the GWP3000. That’s odd that yours isn’t working. The pressure gauge is just something I bought for about $20 on Amazon and I’ll be showing that in my next video as well.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Cool... I am looking forward to the upcoming video. Also, I found the problem with the surface cleaner. The center section that attaches the rotating nozzles to the base has a very bad leak. This loss of pressure causes the assembly to not feed enough pressure to the rotating nozzles thus it doesn't rotate. I have to wait for the replacement from Greenworks. None of the many Lowes in the Jacksonville area where I live have any in stock.
Literacy must not be your strong suit, huh? Title and thumbnail say review & assembly. Where the hell do you see “demonstration” anywhere? Moron. What a genius you are. I guess you’ve never heard of timestamps, conveniently placed in the video description 🤡. Feel free to make your own video, cry baby!
@@TonyTheTruckGuy So demonstration is not part of review? This video is 30mins. long NOT a 3mins. One or two demonstrations can be done with voice over which could absolute make this review clip much better.
@@jixyana2145 Fantastic, make your own video since you’re such an expert! Otherwise, shut the hell up and move on with your day. Cry baby. This is not a “clip”, it’s a VIDEO, hence the 30 minute duration. NO, “review and assembly” does NOT mean “demonstration”. Learn to read.
@@jixyana2145 And you love complaining. I literally have timestamps laid out to save you time. I ALSO have another 2 videos DEMONSTRATING it, but you spent all this time complaining instead of checking my channel for those videos. You’re welcome!
Tough call, honestly. It depends on the specific application and what you're trying to do/how fast you're trying to do it. Most of the wet sand blasting videos I've seen people are using 2600 psi+ gas units, and using it to strip paint on body panels for cars. This unit will check in at a slightly lower pressure, but will probably still do the job if you're patient with it, and all you're doing is paint stripping.
@@hermencruz7665 I can’t say for sure but I’m thinking it won’t be strong enough. Heavy frame rust you’d need more power or straight up sand blast. Or one of them fancy laser rust removers but those are spendy lol
Tony, I need some advice! I am contemplating the GWP 2700 vs the GWP 3000. My concern is that I want to add a surface cleaner for sidewalks and driveways. At this PSI (2700-3000) it seems too strong for the 12" surface cleaners (for electric pressure washers up to 2300), but too week for the surface cleaners made for gas pressure washers (3200 PSI and up). What do you think? If you were to buy a surface cleaner for this machine, would you go with the 12" or move up to the 15-16" (recommended for gas)? I like this one from Ryobi because the castor wheels make it so much easier to move around. HELP! www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-12-in-2300-PSI-Electric-Pressure-Washer-Surface-Cleaner-with-Casters-RY31SC12VNM/318427723
Mostly anything you chose will work. I actually have the 11” or 12” Greenworks surface cleaner that’s only rated to about 2000 psi, but I’ve used it on this unit twice so far without any issue. It was like $40 which was way cheaper than the others, so I if it breaks, it breaks and I’ll get a bigger one lol. The pressure washer really only makes 3000 psi when not pulling the trigger. It drops to about 2000 or a little more at that point.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Good point! I'd rather go that way then get a surface cleaner too big for the pressure washer to handle, which I've seen videos of people using a surface cleaner WAY too large for their pressure washer to handle, with little to no spinning of the surface cleaner tips!
@@jimsaddler942 That’s kind of why I went with the smaller Greenworks one instead of the 15” or bigger. I was worried I wouldn’t have enough pressure lol
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.
What do you mean it cranks within 2-3 pulls?
Same bonehead that goes on other people's reviews to advertise a gas pressure washer
Lowes just put it on sale for $279.00 during Memorial weekend.
bro does the best review on youtube for this washer then apologizes for it lol - amazinggggggggg tysm for the amp drawwwww!!!! ty ty ty bro!!!
Excellent review! We need more reviews like this on UA-cam. I appreciate it!
Thanks! I agree! Lol
Man, oh, man, excellent video. I picked up mine today from Lowe's for $399.99 (less my 10 % military discount). Yesterday, I had bought the 2300 psi GW pressure washer, but it would not run with my water faucet turned full on. If I turned the water on about 1/2 way it would run. I called Greeworks and after waiting on hold about 2 hours a very nice lady connected to me. She said it was supposed to run at "full faucet". I was concerned that the 2300 psi one was maybe going to give me trouble - I returned it. The 2300-psi one was the last one they had, so I bought this 3000-psi one. I'll put it together tomorrow.
Tony how big of a surface cleaner (for my driveway) can this unit handle? I want to get this unit if it will drive a big enough surface cleaner
@@reality1958 I think they recommend a minimum of 12” up to maybe a 15” but mine is only 11.
@@TonyTheTruckGuyoh okay. Thank you
I've read the more GPM you have the faster, the better it cleans. If that is true this GW would be a better unit, The Greenworks Pro 2700 PSI pressure washer is powerful and reliable, delivering 2.3 Max GPM
Yeah that might be the better route for many people. Gotta check what psi that GPM is rated at, though.
Best review ive seen on any product not just pressure washers literally anything 👌 great job!
I appreciate the positive feedback!
Yours still working??? And if so, how much have you used it? I be just tired of buying things just to throw it away because it's junk. I need something I can count on when needed. thanks
I still have it and it's still working just as good! I don't use it a ton, probably about 4 times per summer. It's done longer projects though like the siding all around my mom's mobile home plus several cement patio cleanings and some car washes. It's also been in the garage the entire time which can vary from -30 to 110 depending on the season lol.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Thanks for the reply
@@btb6011 No problem, good luck!
Dumping my Gas 3100 Ryobi,I loved it for the three times I could start it and use it ! Season 1.
Season 2, even though run dry and an additive in the gas, I could not start it,
I had it repaired and rebuilt at 1/3 of its cost new, ran it on pure gas vs 10% methanol but ,,
Every spring clean was a real family event in a negative sense.When and if it restarted it took us 30 minutes, even then the Honda engine hunting,
NOW looking for an electric and going with the great review from A on Greenworks 2700 , then spotted yours more recent. Thanks for updating !
Great review, learned from other reviews. Some Questions to you as a user.
1) Were the handle 'nuts' still plastic thread or metal insert?
2) Hose seemed to have steel or aluminum fittings on to brass ? Dielectric problem later on as they interchange electrons with water and bind up?
3) A swivel on the power cord would be good, can you turn it 90Degrees and pull the whole power chord off ?
4) Install quick connects , what diameter ? Did you do this upgrade on your hoses, both makes seem good. Did you mention electric length and hose length use standard ?
5) It has a pressure gauge, did you add that >? (probably obviously you did)
6) Flow test advice, Bucket test advice, do as Aaron, Indeed you probably figured it out, from a cold start it takes time to build pressure for a smaller orifice !
Start the pump and then start the stopwatch at 10 seconds once the flow has built up and the pressure gauge stabilized.
Count down 10,9,8 etc to 3,2,1 change from one open bucket to the measure bucket with no small fancy hole in the middle. Point the hose at the side and it will flow into the swirl in the measure bucket and not splash back. (I did this in the 90s on liquid additive pumps in the Oilfield, we had two be very accurate).
7) Interested to hear if the 'chrome' gun extensions rusted ? I had Ryobi and Orange Box extensions and they rusted like heck in Texas (high humidity garages) .
8) GREAT measurement on the 20 Amp vs 15 Amp and I have to review my outside outlets , well done !!
Bottom line, a great review ! I am angled towards Greenworks electric pressure washers. To get my driveway and walkways clean is $400 from a handyman or Pressure washer company for one time. With this I can do all, in fact she can do all also a well as my kids!
The physics to note, that I am not really able to calculate is that if you are going longer, from an outlet to say the front of your yard/driveway, you need either a long extension chord from your 20Amp external outlet or the same length of a water hose extension. Either way you will get a loss. My idea is that I buy a high (thick) extension chord and use a 25-50 ft hose. I think you will gain more on investing in a high flow electric extension chord to power it (less resistance) , to the unit. The pressure loss between 25 ft and 50 ft may be greater.
Just my opinion as an old Engineer, but there are electrical and fluid dynamic people out there who may agree or disagree
Thanks buddy ! Great review!
Thank you! This is an impressively long comment, so I'll do my best do address everything. I too, have been let down too many times by certain gas applications. Have a 1998 Yard Machine lawn mower that's never had the carb cleaned, yet somehow runs. Yet I bought a Remington gas powered weed whip last year and it worked great. This year, barely runs and bogs out when trying to rev it up. Going with a Milwaukee since I have Milwaukee batteries. Then probably the Milwaukee leaf blower too, once my Husqvarna craps out.
1.) I initially thought that the handle nuts on the GWP3000 were plastic because of Aaron's video, but upon closer inspection, mine are actually black painted metal inserts within the plastic knobs, but they did look plastic at first glance. I've had them on and off several times so far with no issues.
2.) There could be possible issues down the road with the mixture of metal fittings, but I THINK the steel is stainless, so I'm thinking the brass would just corrode if anything and need to be replaced. But other that possible hard water, the fittings aren't exposed to many other elements, and they're typically disconnected anyways when not in use.
3.) I'll need a little more clarification on this one. I'm not sure what you mean when you're talking about rotating the power cord and removing it. I'd have to check it out, but I'm fairly sure it's hardwired to the machine.
4.) I believe the quick connects were 3/8" ID, and the only quick connects used in this video were from the pressure hose to the gun and pressure hose to the machine. Machine was tested with standard 35' power cord and standard 25' Uberflex 1/4" ID hose.
5.) Yes, I added the quick connect pressure gauge. Got it for about $20 on Amazon. I actually have an accessory test video that will be coming out this coming Wednesday showing how this pressure washer works with an 11" surface cleaner and a foam cannon. I'll also show the quick connects and another handle.
6.) For the most part, the flow test seemed to be constant pressures once all the air was purged from the lines and the pump, but good to know for the future.
7.) No rust yet on the metal wand extensions, and we do get pretty humid here as well.
8.) Thanks!
As far as an extension cord or extended pressure hose, they don't want you to use an extension cord with them since the breaker is at the end of the factory cord, but if you get a thicker cord with proper gauge wiring like you mentioned, you should be fine. I really don't think you'll be losing much, if any amperage with an extension cord though. You could always test this once you get your setup with a pressure gauge, once with extension cord, then again without. The PSI also didn't seem to change when I went to the 50' Uberflex vs the factory 25' hose. I recorded 2000 PSI with the 40 degree nozzle with both hoses. Hope this helps you out!
Great video.. Went ahead and ordered one. I do like the power of gas but hate cleaning carbs and filling up gas tanks
Same. The portability of gas is nice, but when you have 5 gas powered yard tools, you get awfully sick of them not starting in the spring 😂
Mine is being delivered today. Thanks for the info 👍
How is yours doing, still working good?
I just ordered this yesterday, $349 from greenworks I had the greenworks pro 2700 but it was disappointing, of course I was used to my Simpson 3600 psi. The 2700 was ok for washing my truck but not so good for my vinyl siding on my home. So I thought I'd give the 3000 a try I heard it performed better, I just want a descent electric washer mostly for car wash and twice a year on the house.
Mine hasn’t had any issues yet! I’ve used it probably 10 times, and 1 of those times was to pressure wash the siding on my mom’s trailer. I think I ended up using the turbo nozzle from a few feet away because it seemed to work the best. Not sure how much better it actually performs over the 2700. This is about as powerful as you’re going to get out of a residential electric unit. Anything over 3000 psi and you’d need gas or commercial electric, even if the manufacturer claims over 3000 psi.
@TonyTheTruckGuy your right, it was the highest pressure I could find in electric. Thanks for the input and the in depth testing you did. My washer is scheduled to delivered on Friday the 16th.
@@Jimmy-hs7zi I hope yours is good to you!
Excellent review. Thanks. I just ordered one so this is very helpful showing everything from assembly to water usage to power draw. I am off grid so things like water usage and power draw are very important. Again, thanks.
I believe this is the same pressure washer as Menards masterforce 3000 PSI unit. just rebadged. can anyone confirm?
Nicely done. You managed to cram so much valuable information into a single review. It seems you made a really good decision in your purchase of this model. From here, I'll be viewing your video on attachments, then checking my breaker box ratings to see if I can make this thing work for me.
Thanks, I appreciate it! Yeah this is about as powerful as you’re going to get out of a non commercial electric unit. If someone needs more heavy duty pressure, then gas or commercial electric is the only way.
The number one reason I won't buy one is because of it runs all the time.
It’s really not that big of an issue to me since it’s only on when I’m using it anyways
this is good to know right off the bat. thx. i wonder why they didn’t make it run with trigger pull..
@@DZX5000This way eliminates the pressure delay that many others have once you pull the trigger
In depth and comprehensive. Thanks, Tony. :-)
Absolutely the worst company to deal with, tried calling them, LOL
So no matter what tip, you weren’t able to see 3,000 psi while flowing, right? Looked like 15 degree tip peaked at 2,200?
Correct. You’re going to be very hard pressed to find a non commercial electric pressure washer that will actually hit that 3,000 mark while flowing. This one and Ryobi are the closest I’ve personally seen.
Thank you for all the detail. Lowers the stress levels seeing it used properly. 😃
Wow the power factor almost 1, saves you at the meter if that matters.
The newer one claim's 2.0 GPM, have y'all tried one? PSI is great but with 1.1 I dont see it cleaning very fast...
I have not heard of or tested that one yet. 2.0 GPM would definitely be nice though.
QUESTIONS:
1) what is its predicted reliability? ( my karcher k5 premium died after 40 uses 🤬 )
2) what are the pros&cons of the pressure washer motor continually operating when no demand ?
3) are the accessories generic or proprietary?
I can’t speak on reliability yet as I just got this unit last summer and I e only used it a few times, so only time will tell on that. I’m hoping if there’s any issues, they will honor the warranty and fix the issue. The pros of the unit running constantly are that you have instant pressure without any lag when you pull the trigger, but they recommend powering the unit off of its going to be just idling for 5 minutes or more at a time. The accessories seem to be pretty generic. 14mm ID on the pressure hose with 22mm OD on the threads. All the accessories I’ve tried so far all worked without issue.
Great video and testing. Very thoughrough. Well done lad keep it up.
Thank you!
How is this holding up?
I don’t use it a ton, but it’s still working as it did in the video here with no issues so I can’t complain! Cleaned the patio probably 3 times with it, pressure washed the entire outside of my mom’s mobile home, and a few truck washes with it. Also sits out in the garage when it gets super cold in the winter and she keeps kicking.
How do you get the soap dispenser to work? I added soap to the reservoir, filled with water, put on the black soap tip. No soap comes out. Can't see any water flowing through the clear tube.
See if your soap hose is kinked like mine was. Also I'm not sure if it matters how you have the washer standing up or laying down.
I had to install a 20 amp circuit to use this pressure washer. Ditched a Honda gas for it and I’m glad I did. 15 amp circuit tripped like crazy even with nothing else plugged in.
Strange. I wonder if mine was a 15 or 20. It only surged above 15 initially for me if I remember correctly. How do you like it compared to the Honda?
@@TonyTheTruckGuy well, I liked it enough to get a dedicated 20 amp circuit installed as well as a 100’ 12 ga. Extension cord. :-) Had the Honda for almost 20 years so it was time and I was tired of pull starts, oil changes and gasoline.
@@genodm Haha yeah the maintenance on electric is much nicer so long as you can find one that has enough oomph to get the job done
Amazing video. I’m a homeowner looking for a pressure washer for patio, siding, concrete wall, car.
2300 or 2700 or 3000?
I know the 2300 has total stop and the 2700 and 3000 don’t. Help! 😂
Haha I feel you. I wasn't crazy about the constantly running motor, but I've had good luck with it so far. I would say higher the pressure the better though for the uses that you listed. If it was just car wash and such then I'd say just go with the 2300, but for patio and concrete and siding, I'd probably go for the 2700 or 3000 if you can find a decent deal. Not a pressure washer expert by any means, but just my 2 cents.
Lowes has 2300 on sale for $249 and the 3000 on sale for $349
I’ll have to check my circuit to see if it can handle 3000
Great review. Pretty scientific and organized methods for test. I think your increase in pressure is due to the seals breaking in after a bit of use, and the expansion of the seals due to heat.
That would make sense as the pump warms up! Thanks for the feedback!
I just ordered this with a 20% off Haloween deal right now. I hope it works for me as good as it did you! Thank you for your great review!
Thank you this video was my final research for a power washers. Very helpful!
It comes to 385.19 with 10% coupon
Great video! Thanks for the review. Just bought myself one, waiting for pickup.
Hope you like it! It’s been a good unit for me so far and I don’t think you’d get much more powerful without going to gas or commercial electric.
I purchased one directly from Greenworks and it was delivered by FedEx last week. I noticed a defect in the handle - it was drilled wrong and won't slide all the way in the lower handle causing it to be unstable. I called Greenworks and they don't have parts for that model since it is new so I need to place it all back in the box to be picked up by Fed Ex. They are shipping a new unit. Hopefully, that one is okay. Great service but the assembly line flaw spooked me a bit.
Darn that’s a bummer it showed up that way. Hopefully quality control steps up a bit. Glad to hear customer service was helpful, though! Look forward to hearing how the next unit works.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Thanks. Will report back.
I hear you on the QC issue. I ordered the 2700 and it was leaking oil from the pump. Contacted Greenworks and they replaced it, promptly. Weird thing is it has the hose connections of the 3000 but it's on a 2700 chassis. I told the gal I'd pay for an upgrade but she said they couldn't do that. Maybe they did, I dunno but the sticker on the back of the unit says 2700. They had me dispose of the defective unit but I salvaged what I could before throwing it away. I'll test with a gauge when spring rolls around.
@@APrawks For me the drama with Greenworks has continued to a level that is almost comical. The first or original GPW3000 was picked up by FedEx. Received a replacement and I noticed there was an abundance of scratches on that unit. I called customer service and had to explain the entire situation to that person because he had no history of events leading to the replacements. Once all that time was wasted doing that, the rep told me that he will replace that second unit because he suspected it was a previous return from another customer. So, once again, I box up and it is picked up my FedEx. Then the third unit arrives, I open the box and it was immediately clear that the unit was definitely a return from another customer. Everything was not wrapped and it was clear the way it was packed that it was not "new" from the factory. Here is where it gets comical. Just out of curiosity, I took a photo of the serial number on that third unit, checked my past records and sure enough it was the same original unit I returned. So I was the previous customer that returned that unit and they circled it right back to me. LOL. I called customer service, once again had to tell the entire story because they were clueless of the history. Mind you, there were emails and also warranty registrations with my contact info. Now they have a fourth unit on it's way that I will refuse shipment on if I can catch FedEx during delivery. They don't ring the bell and just drop the box on my front porch.
I found that Generac makes a very similar electric pressure washer for a bit less and will be ordering that.
My opinion is that Greenworks does make good products but something is amiss with their manufacturing or design where a very few have issues. More importantly, those who are unlucky enough to receive a Greenworks product with issues will drive themselves to drink when dealing with their customer service.
@@anthonycotugno7369 Yeah, they like to refurbish returns and then pass them on. The problem is that if you pay $400 for something you should be getting new.
I thought the unit was advertised as 3000 at 2gpm? Totally confused at the ratings??
I heard the newer ones are higher GPM. I have one of the earlier versions.
The 2 gpm seems to be delivered at 200 psi. 1.1 is the honest rating.
thinking about grabbing this model for a mobile setup but im wondering if the amps will cause some issues that im not thinking about. thanks
Yeah, if the person's house you're at only has a 15A breaker for that particular outlet, it will probably trip pretty frequently. What type of mobile service are you trying to do? If it's just car detailing, there's a few other pressure washers that may work better.
😂😂 the same thing happened to me with the wand holder great review 👏👏
Haha glad I’m not the only one. Thanks for watching!
Is this pressure washer is good for commercial use?
Depends how heavy you’re going to work it. Most “commercial” pressure washers are higher powered and draw more amperage. This is about as powerful as you can get while still using a normal 110v outlet and 20amp breaker. I’d does fine for tasks around the house but for commercial you might want something heavier duty.
Thanks for the video! Did the box come with the round pressure gauge?
Unfortunately no, I purchased that separately on Amazon for about $20.
I don’t like that it does auto shut off when the trigger isn’t pulled.
Takes some getting used to but it’s worked well for me so far.
This, or the SunJoe 2030? Which is actually more powerful? The SunJoe is rated at 1.4 amps and 1.75GPM.
I have not tested the sun joe, but even if it made the full 2030 psi, that’s still less than the 3000 psi from this unit. The sun Joe DOES put out slightly more GPM, IF their claim is accurate. Again, I have not tested that unit.
Did you figure out which ones better
I’m probably asking too early or I missed it, how many watts does it consume?
I measured the draw in amps instead of wats. I’m not finding any wattage rating even online. Amperage tests start at 22:35.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Thank you very much I did the calculations. The 11.7amp power surge is 1404 watts.
The idle of 4.5 is 540 watts.
19amp surge when pressing trigger is 2280 watts
14.8 amp using nozzle(not turbo) is 1776 watts..
I need a bigger blueyetti power bank.
Great video.
Thank You!
Does the handle on your pressure wobble where the hex head nuts are? I installed them correctly, but the handle still wobbles, kind of frustrating and indicates low quality.
You mean the handle of the power unit or the handle? If you mean where the tube handle attaches to the other tube handle with the plastic wing nuts then yeah mine has some play also. Not a very machined fit, but if that’s the biggest gripe then I think you’ll still be happy. It bothers my OCD also even though I know it won’t be a problem.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Yes, where the handle attaches to the other tube handle. It is a bit sloppy, thanks. I would JB Weld it, but then I would not be able to reduce the travel height.
@@bradfordsparks329 Haha yeah exactly. And I’ve had to break mine down for travel a couple times, so I just deal with it.
What is the diameter size garden hose do you need for this?
Just standard garden hose. I have a 100 foot Flexzilla brand that’s 5/8” diameter that I was using with it.
what attachment is best for pressure washing stain on a fence.
I haven’t had a chance to use mine for anything like that and I’m not sure how much pressure is required to remove stain, but I would guess the 15° nozzle. The turbo nozzle is too fine and would etch into the wood.
thanks for details
How high up in the air can this reach? I need to clean the top of my 2nd floor house...needs to reach I think like 50ft with detergent.
I don’t think any pressure washer is really going to have any power left at 50 feet if I’m being honest. It depends what your goal is and how stubborn the cleaned surface is. This one has to be within about a foot or 2 for effective pressure. It will shoot water probably 20+ feet but there’s no pressure that far out as they aren’t designed like that. You may be able to get extended wand rods to reach higher places, but I haven’t looked into that.
You're only limited by the length of the hose, if you're climbing a ladder. You may want to look into buying an extension wand made specifically for power washing 2-story buildings. I have one and it's a bit tiresome trying to manhandle it but it beats climbing and moving a ladder multiple times.
As an aside, the hose holder goes on top of the metal plate, not under, but obviously either way works.Also, the power cord holder is designed so that the "arms" rotate, making it easy to simply rotate them and slip the entire cord off rather than having to unwind every time. Many vacuum cleaners have similar cord storage where a single arm rotates to allow the cord to slip off as one "unit".
Yeah I think I noticed after the video and put the wand holder on top of the metal plate lol
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Thanks for the review. It helped seal the purchase for me. Couldn't resist the current sale plus discounts. Ended up being $280!
@@dr.emilschaffhausen4683 Great price!
Maybe check the calibration on your pressure gage. It should be able to read the lower pressures.
Not sure how I would calibrate it or check the calibration, it just seems to be what it is. No adjustments or anything. If you look closely, there’s more line between the 1000 and 2000 psi mark than there are between 0 and 1000 which leads me to believe it probably needs a good 100-300 psi to even register.
excellent review! bought the same last year as well, so far this year I'm still really likes it. the problem I have so far is the turbo tip broke on me because I have dropped it once, user error I guess, wish they're more durable, second I notice the tips don't spread the water evenly, it hit harder at the 2 ends of the fan and weaker in the middle so when I use to clean something it leave a streak of a sort. lastly, the surface cleaner that comes with it is really hard to move while shooting, not sure i got a bad unit or I use it wrong.
Yeah that’s annoying that the turbo nozzle broke from 1 drop. I haven’t really had the fan pressure issue you mentioned though. Which surface cleaner did yours come with? Mine didn’t come with one so I got the greenworks 11”. I noticed mine is also hard to push sometimes but it seems to be when the trigger isn’t pulled all the way. I think it relies on the higher pressure to kind of keep it afloat. I always run the surface cleaner with full force and keep it moving out of large pools of water that may form.
Thanks for this. It was a thorough and technical review, and I learned what's considered good and bad and what to look for in a pressure washer.
Do you think this could handle being used for a little commercial work? More specifically, do you think it can do a satisfactory job for a customer, and in an efficient amount of time?
I guess it depends what you’ll be doing with it and how many hours you’ll be using it. I have another video here testing a few products with it just to see what it can do - ua-cam.com/video/XiTRqv5S2T0/v-deo.html
what is the turbo nozzle used for?
Really stubborn stuff. Definitely don't aim it at your hand, foot, or car paint. Works well for pressure washing things like sidewalk or small patio
which pressure gague is good & accurate?
I can’t really weigh in on that as this is the only one I’ve tried. So I don’t really have anything to compare it to. I’m sure there’s a few videos on UA-cam here of people testing different pressure gauges that could offer you better advice
awesome detailed review. thanks! 👍
Thanks for the feedback, glad I could help!
You every try a 40 3.5 orphis
Have not tried anything other than the nozzles it came with. Not sure what size stock orifice is.
if the unit draw 4.5 amps during idle, does that energy (500w) go to heating the water?
No there is no heating feature that I’m aware of on this unit, that’s just the amount of power required to keep the motor idling.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy understood, but that wasted power has to go somewhere. i suspect that there is a bypass valve system which allows the pump output to go back to the pump inlet with somekind of restriction. would not this circulation loop at least heat the water going around?
@@arkrainflood Yeah there’s probably a relief valve like you said where it just recirculates the water or pressure it already made or something. That’s a good question though I’m not exactly sure how it operates but as far as I e witnessed there’s no warm water
So 2200 psi is the highest you saw?
You can see at 19:51 the machine itself produces 3000 psi, but the actual working pressure depends on the nozzle and orifice size. 2200 psi was about the highest I was with the 15° nozzle I believe. The turbo nozzle is only like 800-1200 psi but it still works great for cleaning because of how small the stream is. Even though it’s low psi, it has a ton of pressure.
Just an FYI, the spike pressure when you're not pulling the trigger, typically should be a couple hundred Psi above the rated working pressure. The working pressure should be within a hundred or two of the rated Psi. What that means in practice with a machine rated at 3000 psi, is you should see between 3200-3400 spike pressure, and around 2700-3000 working pressure. Elevation, fab tolerances, and guage accuracy tolerance, all would play in seeing slightly different numbers. But they shouldn't be 800-1000psi off the mark with...
I would contact Greenworks and see if they could run you through a tech support checklist, and if nothing fixes the pressure issue, send you a new unit. The only other thing is they may have included the wrong size orifice tips, if nothing is technically wrong with the machine. The fact that Josh got 2700 working psi with his 15 degree tip, tells me something is off with ur unit...unless your guage is just lying to you, lol!
Btw, one last thing, the motor in this unit isnt your normal DC Brushless unit, it should be an induction motor, which is why its larger, heavier and quieter.
I’ve yet to see any non-commercial electric pressure washer make their max rated pressure while actually flowing water. I bought this unit after watching some reviews on the 2700 psi unit, so I knew it wouldn’t be putting out 3000 while working.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy I'll grant you that all these budget washer companies lie on their specs. But still, you should be seeing higher pressure, at least with the 15 degree tip. Josh got 2700 psi out of the same machine with that tip. 500 psi less than that isn't a normal variance. Either they sent the wrong orifice tips, or there's something wrong with the unit.
@@BigBear-- Was he using the 15° supplied with the unit, or a different one with a smaller orifice?
@@TonyTheTruckGuy he was using the tip supplied with the 3000 psi unit. In his testing he got 2700 psi from the 3000 psi machine, snd 2500 psi from the 2700 psi machine. Both with their respective 15 degree tips.
@@BigBear-- Strange. I’ll have to check mine again
Tony what do I need to purchase to make a good garden hose connection to the power washer? Thanks great video.
As long as your garden hose has a threaded metal end on it, it just attaches right to the power washer. The power washer has a rotating collar that threads onto the garden hose and there's a rubber seal in there that gets pinched once it gets tight to keep everything sealed up.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Thanks so much
Excellent video.
Thank you!
Hi Tony great review, I just have a few questions, when they say 3000psi do they mean 3000psi while the motor is running and idle, or do they mean when we press the trigger, one of the tips should give us 3000psi?? Also does it come with a 0 degree nozzle if not, do you think we can 3000psi or close with a 0 degree nozzle??
Thanks
3000 is the max rated pressure. It will physically build that pressure when you power it up, as seen in the video, but when you pull the trigger, it drops. You’ll have to watch again because I can’t remember exactly but I think the actual working pressure was 2200-2400 psi. No 0° tip with this kit but it does come with the turbo nozzle and you can just buy a set of tips for pretty cheap if you really want a 0°
@@TonyTheTruckGuy thanks, I have seen the video and it was slightly under 2600psi, so this means as per your video 15 degree nozzle is the max psi I can get out of it. Actually I'm a newcomer in buying pressure washers so that is why I'm asking these questions and watching videos. The thing is I bought this washer a week back, so far impressive just that there are some concrete stains of either leaves or soil that I was unable to remove and was wondering do I need to get a stronger washer with 5000psi or do we take the help of some chemicals to soak the stain then blast it off. I'm sure you had same experience at sime point. I was entirely relying on water pressure and I feel I'm wrong. What's your experience with gas washers?
@@vixter1980 Yeah, unfortunately some stains may not be able to be removed with pressured water on concrete. It may need to by actually ground or sanded off. The turbo nozzle actually produces the most powerful stream, despite having a lower PSI. That thing can do some damage. Gas pressure washers can make more power for sure, they’re just more maintenance and make more noise typically.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy thanks, I guess I'll be keeping my greenworks 3000😊😊
@@vixter1980 I would. It’s a decent machine for the money, probably one of the most powerful non-commercial electrics in my opinion.
Fun fact 2:02... 3,000psi is basically the TOP of what a residential pressure washer can do (above 1GPM) because you simply CAN NOT draw anymore power from a standard electrical outlet (NEMA5-15).
Your standard electrical outlet have a max current rating of 15amps... which means any outlet in your house can NOMINALLY provide 1,800W of power, but for safety, appliances should only be designed to use 80% of the total capacity (so 1,440W)
In order to compress 1GPM of water to 3,000psi, it takes 1,305W of power... This pressure washer is rated for 3,000psi @ 1.1GPM (which is 1,425W). See how close those two numbers (1,425W & 1,440W) are?
Most of the pressure washers listed on Amazon are deceptively marketing their pressure washers by listing the MAXIMUM pressure and MAXIMUM flow they can handle, when in reality, they're never operating at those conditions... but they want you to mislead you into believing that that's their operating pressures. It's very sleazy.
Yep, I found after watching many reviews that all those cheap ones on Amazon don’t put out anywhere close to what they’re rated for. The Greenworks and Ryobi seemed to be pretty on-point though.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy yup, I was just looking at a few the other day and decided to look a little closer (as to how they were listing 3,500psi and 2GPM)... Turns out if you look down into the specs on most of them that's the MAX SYSTEM pressure and max flow at 100psi.
In other words, it's only rated to not explode at 3,500psi... 🤦So stupid.
Thus why I'm now watching videos on the greenworks power washer!
Thanks mate
Happy to help!
How does it work with a surface cleaner?
I actually have another video here showing how it works with a few accessories including their surface cleaner - ua-cam.com/video/XiTRqv5S2T0/v-deo.html
@@TonyTheTruckGuy zee
These cheaper electric units make me super nervous and distrustful. They constantly play games with their advertised ratings, they include different size orifice tips, so you never know what pressure you're gonna actually get until you get your unit home. The actual working pressure seems to be all over the place, one user sees 2700, another sees 2200, etc. I keep wanting to get an electric unit, as an add-on to my 4200 psi 4+ Gpm, belt driven gas unit, but can't trust the quality of any of the cheaper electric units - and find it hard to justify spending $1500-3500 on a proper commercial electric unit, just to wash my car and some other small stuff around the house easier. So I'm stuck.
I have an opportunity to pick this Greenworks 3000psi unit up for $285, but not sure if I should pull the trigger
Greenworks or Ryobi are the only 2 reasonably priced, non-commercial electric pressure washers that even come close to their claimed numbers based on the videos/research I did before buying, which is why I ended up with this one. I’ve used mine to pressure wash the siding around my mom’s mobile home twice, also washed my truck a few times with it and used it with the surface cleaner on our concrete patio area a few times and it has held up well so far in the year or so I’ve had it. For $285 you’d be pretty hard pressed to beat it. None of those cheap ones off of Amazon will ever come close to the 3000 or 4000 psi sticker they slap on. It is a bit annoying that you don’t actually get 3000 psi working pressure, but I knew that going into it since I watched the 2700 psi review. It’s still enough pressure for most scenarios, and you’d have the gas unit just in case.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy my problem is currently the gas unit is in my house in FL, while I'm in my PA home. That's really why I need another unit, thing is I spend less time here, so I didnt want to leave my main washer here, or lug it back and forth. My problem is no matter how good of a deal it seems, if it won't do what I need, it doesnt work for me. I have a lot of asphalt to clean, if it can't hit close to 3000 psi, at a minimum, it doesn't work for me. At that point I'd rather spend $650-850 and get a direct drive gas unit rated for 3600-4000 at 2.5 - 3.5 gpm. I would consider a commercial electric unit, but only for garage use, as they're all 230-240V units. However I need mine to be mobile...I guess if I throw 100 -200 feet of hose on it, it might be alright, but thats a lot of expense for no real performance or convenience gain (especially considering that for an equivalent commercial electric unit it'll be over $3000).
@@BigBear-- Yeah you might just have to buy a second gas unit for that home. What needs to be cleaned off of asphalt?
@@TonyTheTruckGuy we get a lot of pollen, that turns everything a nasty shade of green, as well as regular old dirt, occasional small oil/gas stain, etc. I particularly need it for when I prep the ashpalt for resealing every few years. I also have a fairly large concrete slab patio area that needs regular cleaning as its under a bunch of trees. As well as a two story deck, that requires regular cleaning. That's all just regular maintenance items, which don't include any special projects, or regular car detailing.
@@BigBear-- Hmm. Well it does seem to work fine for stuff like that so far on the concrete I’ve used it with a surface cleaner. I have another video testing some accessories with this unit you can check out. Oil stains might be the only tricky thing. They don’t like to lift out so easily even with high pressure once they’ve had time to soak in.
Karma 🤘🤙
Lol hell yeah 🤘
For my needs I just bought the craftsman 2100 psi electric pressure washer on Josh’s recommendations, I ordered some of the accessories like the Uber flex hose, if I need more pressure I also have a gas pressure washer, really great review, definitely helps people out, thank you 👍😁

Did that on purpose just to see how the 2000 psi rated cleaner would hold up to higher pressure haha. Plus it was the cheapest so I went with that one over a 15”. Just used it the other day and it actually worked pretty good. I’ll have another video up shortly on the accessories.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy my gpw3000 actually just failed a couple days ago, the pump lost pressure even though the motor was still running.

@@TonyTheTruckGuy yeah i bought it back in may so around six months ago now.
@@benjaminleslie3155 Well I hope it was just a fluke or that they fixed whatever the issue is on their newer ones. I guess I’ll find out haha
Just purchased one. I love the power and the low noise. I do which they has stuck to the design of the 2300 model, I prefer the upright handle to the curved back ones on the 2700 and 3000 models. The wand is also a little short but that's easy to replace and I already had a longer one from my gas unit.
Yeah at least you can tip the pressure washer upright if you want. I haven’t had any issues with the wand length, but I kinda prefer mid length wands.
True, I just have a long torso so I find that I have to bend over with the included wand. I had the same issue with my other units which is why I purchased a longer wand. I do find that I can turn the handle around when I'm storing it so nots not so long which is definitely a plus over the 2300 style. I can't wait to test it with my foam canon.
@@cm.5023 Ohhh yeah if you’re washing the ground I can see how it might be short. I got it mainly to use with the surface cleaner and foam cannon. Works pretty decent with a decent foam cannon despite not having high GPM
@@TonyTheTruckGuy A new surface cleaner is on my list of needs. I have the small greenworks model which I got several years ago but it has brass bushings and I want to get something that uses ball bearings. Which model do you have?
@@cm.5023 Just the small 11” green works one. I don’t use it a lot, just every year once to clean our concrete patio.
Picked one up, works great I find that the turbo nozzle seems to be most effective. It’s strong enough to strip paint from wood that is not in great shape. It’s def less fatiguing than 3000psi has machines when you get to hours of washing( which is a natural thing once you start seeing things come clean) you got a great deal I just went and paid $400 at Blowes
Dude. This. was. an. excellent. review.
Straight-forward scientific approach. No BS.
Rip off, save your money the cheap Amazon one is better.
Have you actually compared them in person though? All these “3000 psi” pressure washers on Amazon don’t put out anywhere near what they’re rated for as far as all the tests I’ve seen on here. That’s actually why I ended up with this one. It was one of the few in this price range that actually lives up to the claims for the most part.
Yes, I have both. The tests I’ve seen on here I agree with your conclusion, however used side by side, the green works is definitely no better.

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 think you’re right and they have updated it since I got mine. I’ll have to see if there’s any other reviews on it to see that hose. If I ever get the chance I’ll definitely test it.
I have to assume this is why the GPW3000 is now on sale at Lowe's for 349. That plus a 10% military discount is a pretty good deal.
Great review! I bought one a few months ago and am getting ready to pressure wash our paver patio. When looking at the different gauges, would you recommend using the 40 degree to wash and 25 to rinse or 40 for both? Thanks!
You’ll have to kind of play it by ear and see what works best for you. The 25° cleans a bit better, but requires more back and forth since it makes a smaller stream. You may find that the 40° works just fine.
How did your cleaning turn out on the paver patio? What tip worked best for this job? Also, did it damage any of the joint sealer (polymeric sand)? I hear pressure washing pavers will wash out the sand.
How does you GPW3000 work with the Surface Cleaner? I purchased the my GPW3000 and the Greenworks 15-in 3100 PSI Rotating Surface Cleaner. It does not rotate when attach to the pressure washer. I do get water. I went through the troubleshooting process with Greenworks support and they are going to send me another surface cleaner. However, I am curious it the problem is not with the pressure washer itself. What water pressure gauge system are you using?
So I actually got the 11” surface cleaner instead even though it’s rated for less pressure. It works pretty well and I have another video dropping this Wednesday showing the surface cleaner as well as a few other accessories on the GWP3000. That’s odd that yours isn’t working. The pressure gauge is just something I bought for about $20 on Amazon and I’ll be showing that in my next video as well.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Cool... I am looking forward to the upcoming video. Also, I found the problem with the surface cleaner. The center section that attaches the rotating nozzles to the base has a very bad leak. This loss of pressure causes the assembly to not feed enough pressure to the rotating nozzles thus it doesn't rotate. I have to wait for the replacement from Greenworks. None of the many Lowes in the Jacksonville area where I live have any in stock.

Tough call, honestly. It depends on the specific application and what you're trying to do/how fast you're trying to do it. Most of the wet sand blasting videos I've seen people are using 2600 psi+ gas units, and using it to strip paint on body panels for cars. This unit will check in at a slightly lower pressure, but will probably still do the job if you're patient with it, and all you're doing is paint stripping.

Tony, I need some advice! I am contemplating the GWP 2700 vs the GWP 3000. My concern is that I want to add a surface cleaner for sidewalks and driveways. At this PSI (2700-3000) it seems too strong for the 12" surface cleaners (for electric pressure washers up to 2300), but too week for the surface cleaners made for gas pressure washers (3200 PSI and up). What do you think? If you were to buy a surface cleaner for this machine, would you go with the 12" or move up to the 15-16" (recommended for gas)? I like this one from Ryobi because the castor wheels make it so much easier to move around.

Mostly anything you chose will work. I actually have the 11” or 12” Greenworks surface cleaner that’s only rated to about 2000 psi, but I’ve used it on this unit twice so far without any issue. It was like $40 which was way cheaper than the others, so I if it breaks, it breaks and I’ll get a bigger one lol. The pressure washer really only makes 3000 psi when not pulling the trigger. It drops to about 2000 or a little more at that point.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Good point! I'd rather go that way then get a surface cleaner too big for the pressure washer to handle, which I've seen videos of people using a surface cleaner WAY too large for their pressure washer to handle, with little to no spinning of the surface cleaner tips!
