Zoom on the Greenworks GPW1501
In summary, the Greenworks GPW1501 is a light duty pressure washer, that offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and also:
- cleaning of painted and fragile surfaces
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
The Greenworks GPW1501
Powered by a 13 amp motor, its axial pump can deliver a pressure of 1500 PSI (around 25 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.2 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). Combined, these values mean that the Greenworks GPW1501 has a cleaning power of 1800 Cleaning Units.
Since it is an electric pressure washer, the motor of the GPW1501 is started simply by an ON/OFF switch. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
With its portable design and approximate dimensions of D10 x W12 x H17.7 in, the Greenworks GPW1501 makes mobility one of its core strengths. The handle adds to the GPW1501 convenience of transport.
With a weight of only 18.4 lbs, the unit is definitely easy to carry around. Its plastic frame certainly plays a key role in this light weight. Because the GPW1501 is so lightweight, it doesn’t utilize wheels.
Main Features
The Greenworks GPW1501
The Greenworks GPW1501 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 2 nozzles and a detergent addition feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap addition: Detergent is added to the water at the exit, by attaching the included foam cannon to the end of the gun. The Greenworks GPW1501 is not equipped with a soap dilution mechanism, and thus, it is up to the user to ensure the detergent’s correct dilution ratio when using it.
- Pressure hose: The 20 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose, which is included with the device, can be stored neatly on the unit itself when idle, using a set of easy-to-use straps.
- Spray gun and wand: A dedicated slot allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
