Description
Zoom on the Greenworks GPW1702
In a nutshell, the Greenworks GPW1702 is a light duty pressure washer, which not only offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, but that also allows:
- soft cleaning of delicate surfaces, and gentle cleaning for larger areas with low pressure
The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics and design, its main features and all the additional features it has to offer.
Power
The Greenworks GPW1702
With a 13-amp motor, its axial pump delivers a pressure of 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), resulting in the Greenworks GPW1702's cleaning power of 2040 Cleaning Units.
As an electric pressure washer, the GPW1702 is easily activated by an ON/OFF switch, offering convenient operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
With a portable design and approximate dimensions of D11.2 x W13.2 x H24 in, the Greenworks GPW1702 stands out for its focus on mobility. The handle adds to the GPW1702 convenience of transport.
This unit's low weight of 17.7 lbs ensures easy maneuverability, allowing you to tackle cleaning projects with minimal effort. Partly owing to its plastic frame, it maintains its lightweight construction. Enhancing its already lightweight design, the unit boasts two solid wheels, making transportation effortless.
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. However, since the Greenworks GPW1702 does not feature a soap dilution mechanism, you'll have to make sure your detergent is correctly diluted before use.

- Spray gun and wand: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
