Description
Zoom on the Greenworks GPW1702
The Greenworks GPW1702 is a light duty pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:
- gentle cleaning for sensitive surfaces, and wide coverage cleaning with low pressure
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
The Greenworks GPW1702
Using a 13-amp motor, its axial pump delivers a pressure of up to 1700 PSI (roughly 28 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.2 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 2040 Cleaning Units.
The GPW1702 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 GPW1702 offers a portable design and approximate dimensions of D11.2 x W13.2 x H24 in to facilitate easy movement. The handle adds to the GPW1702 convenience of transport.
With its featherlight weight of 17.7 lbs, this unit offers unparalleled ease of transport and handling. Thanks in part to its plastic frame, it remains lightweight. In addition to its lightweight build, the inclusion of two solid wheels ensures easy mobility and handling.
Main Features
The Greenworks GPW1702
Along with the Greenworks GPW1702 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 2 nozzles and a detergent addition feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap addition: Detergent is added to the water at the exit, by attaching the included foam cannon to the end of the gun. Due to the absence of a soap dilution feature, users of the Greenworks GPW1702 must ensure detergent is correctly diluted prior to use.
- Pressure hose: With a convenient hose reel, which also improves its lifespan, the unit offers a practical solution for maintaining workspace order, allowing the included 25 ft high-pressure hose to be neatly stored when idle.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: The table below shows you the 2 included nozzles and the surfaces they're the most appropriate for.
