TLDR Review: Greenworks 1600 PSI Pressure Washer
Pros
- •Lightweight and easy to carry, making it convenient compared to heavier gaowered models
- •Compact design saves storage space and avoids oil leaks that gas models have
- •Reliable during extended use without overheating or power loss
- •Long 35 ft power cord and 20 ft hose provide a large working area with less need to move the unit often
- •Suitable pressure for light to moderate cleaning tasks like washing cars, decks, patio furniture, and siding
- •Effective at cutting through slime, algae, moss on decks, and reviving wood or terrotta surfaces
- •Comfortable wand design, plus inclusion of two different wand tips and a foam cannon accessory
- •Stable enough for typical use despite some contrary opinions
- •Leaves concrete and outdoor surfaces noticeably cleaner, comparable to professional treatments
Cons
- •Power is relatively weak, barely stronger than a standard garden hose, limiting use on tough stains or heavuty jobs
- •Pressure hose tends to tangle and twist, causing some user frustration
- •Trigger can be hard or tiring to squeeze during long cleaning sessions
- •Assembly instructions, especially for the foam cannon, are unclear and frustrating
- •Foam cannon attachment performs poorly, producing weak foam and a weak water/soap mix
- •Reported water inlet leaks after several months of use, sometimes leading to detachment and water gushing
- •Some users find the unit unstable and prone to tipping over, suggesting design improvements are needed
- •No wheels, which could help with mobility given the power cord and hose lengths
- •Noisy operation reported by some users
- •Overall pressure output does not meet all user expectations for power
Bottom Line
The Greenworks 1600 PSI Electric Pressure Washer is a lightweight, ultra-compact unit perfect for quick, light-to-medium cleaning around the home, such as cars, patios, fences, and decks. It shines in portability and ease of use but falls short on power for tougher jobs, and the foam cannon accessory disappoints. If you need something with a bit more oomph or greater durability, especially regarding leaks and pressure, you might want to consider alternatives with higher PSI or user-favored builds. However, for basic cleaning tasks at a reasonable price point, this model offers solid value with decent performance. If durability and stronger pressure are priorities, you may want to explore pressure washers with higher PSI ratings or enhanced stability features.
