Electric Pressure Washer

Hi all, I'm curious to see if anyone has had any positive or negative experience with the Greenworks 1,600 Psi 1.2 GPM electric pressure washer. The price for it is cheap, just wanted to see if it is worth the buy or to save up a bit more for something a bit better to pair up with the Chemicals guys Foam cannon and Honeydew Snow foam set.

Thanks!

I don't have the exact same one, but I've got a Karcher 1600 PSI electric pressure washer and it's doing it's job. I get a very tick foam from it when paired up with the foam gun and am pretty happy with the purchase.

I have this unit and have used it twice so far. Nice thick foam from the cannon, but I added a bit more about 2oz of Chemical Guys soap. Worth the $100 for me!

What are you using for a foam gun? Don't you have to use one from Karcher?

Just bit the bullet and ordered a Sun Joe SPX3000 and an MTM foam gun. Everyone has their favorites and I was driving myself crazy trying to decide on the best value. The only thing that some others offer that the Sun Joe doesn't is adjusting the pressure at the nozzle instead of having to change tips.

Get the one which you can find the most spare parts for. Inevitably something breaks or wears out and you'll need to repair.

I'm using Concurs foam lance, where I can select the adapter for it.

Is the mtm plug n play with the spx or does it need an adapter?

I bought mine on Amazon and it comes with a fitting for a Karcher. You just need to remove it and replace with the bayonet fitting which was also included.

I have the greenworks unit and it has been working great for me so far. Have washed my car about 7 times with it now. No issues.

I did throw away the crappy foam canon it comes with and am using the chemical guys one.
