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. As the Greenworks GPW1702 doesn’t include a soap dilution mechanism, the user must provide a correctly diluted detergent before proceeding to use it.

- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook.

The Greenworks GPW1702's performance versus other pressure washers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the Greenworks GPW1702 compare to similarly priced pressure washers.
Note: Even though we couldn’t list its price on this page, our research indicates that some retailers sell this unit around $130.
- The Greenworks GPW1702, a device which can produce up to 1700 PSI, is on the lower end of the pressure spectrum, among the electric pressure washers in the $120-150 price range. Prioritizing the highest water stream power? Check out the Westinghouse ePX3100—a top contender in this price range, delivering up to 2300 PSI.
- When measured against items within the price range mentioned earlier, this washer, with its 1.2 GPM, falls on the lower end of achievable water flow rates. If your priority is efficient debris removal, consider one of the products with the highest GPM in this price range, such as the Westinghouse ePX3100, boasting 1.76 GPM.
- With the GPW1702's 2040 Cleaning Units (PSI X GPM), its cleaning efficiency range may be considered average, compared to electric units of similar price. If the highest overall cleaning power is a priority, the Pulsar PWE2001V and its 3200 Cleaning Units are notable for their higher potential cleaning efficiency compared to units in the same price range.
