Zoom on the Greenworks GPW1800
In summary, the Greenworks GPW1800 is a light duty pressure washer, that offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and also:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching high areas, and removing stubborn stains
- gentle cleaning of delicate surfaces, and low pressure cleaning of larger areas
- applying detergents and cleaning agents, and rinsing off surfaces
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
Powered by a 13-amp universal motor, its axial cam pump can deliver a pressure of 1800 PSI (around 30 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.1 GPM (values as per PWMA testing standards). With these values combined, the Greenworks GPW1800 boasts a cleaning power of 1980 Cleaning Units.
The GPW1800 easily starts up with the press of an ON/OFF switch, providing seamless operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
With its hand truck design, the Greenworks GPW1800 provides great mobility. The durable steel tubing frame of the assembly ensures its longevity, providing stability and shielding internal components from damage, even in tough conditions. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the GPW1800 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
At just 22.9 lbs, this unit is incredibly lightweight, ensuring hassle-free mobility wherever you need it. Complementing its lightweight frame, two 8" wheels are integrated, facilitating effortless transportation.
Main Features
Along with the Greenworks GPW1800 itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap injection: A safe detergent storage is facilitated by a dedicated tank. The Greenworks GPW1800 is equipped with an automatic soap dilution mechanism, efficiently blending detergent to the predefined ratio of 7:1. Upon connecting a soap nozzle, the pressure washer takes over the task of seamlessly combining the detergent with the water flow.
- Pressure hose: With a set of easy-to-use straps, the unit provides a convenient way to store the included 20 ft 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 side hook.
- Nozzles: The following table provides information on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface uses.
