Power
The Greenworks GPW1602
With a 13-amp universal motor powering it, the axial pump of this unit is capable of achieving a pressure of 1600 PSI (approximately 27 times greater than that of a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 1.2 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 1920 Cleaning Units.
The GPW1602 gets going swiftly with a simple ON/OFF switch, making startup hassle-free. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
Designed for on-the-go use, the Greenworks GPW1602 offers a portable design and approximate dimensions of D10 x W12 x H17 in to facilitate easy movement. The handle adds to the GPW1602 convenience of transport.
This unit's weight of 19 lbs makes it a breeze to carry around, perfect for on-the-go cleaning tasks. Its lightweight construction is partially attributed to its plastic frame.
Main Features
The Greenworks GPW1602 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. As the Greenworks GPW1602 doesn’t include a soap dilution mechanism, the user must provide a correctly diluted detergent before proceeding to use it.
- Pressure hose: With a set of easy-to-use straps, the unit provides a convenient way to store the included 20 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose when not in use, keeping it organized and readily accessible.
- Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand may be conveniently stored in a dedicated slot.
- Nozzles: In the table below, you can see the 2 included nozzles alongside their respective recommended surface uses.

User Reviews
Does not have storage and zero nozzle as previous versions. Their attempt at improvements only resulted in an inferior product.
Very disappointed in this item. Found it easy to use. Found it to be lightweight. But after using it once a year to power wash my porch on the 4th year it would not start. It would briefly run and then stop. Very poor quality and very very poor customer service
