Power
The Greenworks PW18HYB
With a 13-amp universal motor, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of 1800 PSI (roughly 30 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.1 GPM (values as per PWMA testing standards), resulting in the Greenworks PW18HYB's cleaning power of 1980 Cleaning Units.
The PW18HYB's motor is effortlessly activated with a simple ON/OFF switch, ensuring convenient operation. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
The main draw of the Greenworks PW18HYB is that it is a hybrid pressure washer. Thus, in addition to its corded operation, the unit can also operate cordlessly on batteries, which makes it ideal for cleaning areas with no AC hook up.
For this, you'll need two of Greenworks' pro-grade 60V lithium-ion batteries. Neither these batteries nor their charger are included with the unit. Note that when operating on battery, the PW18HYB max PSI drops to 1500 and max GPM to 1.0, for a total of 1500 Cleaning Units.
Design & Handling
Thanks to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D18 x W20.4 x H25.3 in, the Greenworks PW18HYB offers great mobility. Guaranteeing longevity, the robust steel tubing frame offers stability and protects internal components, even when subjected to demanding tasks. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the PW18HYB convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
With its featherlight weight of 26.5 lbs, this unit offers unparalleled ease of transport and handling. As if its lightweight construction wasn't convenient enough, the unit is equipped with two 8" never-flat wheels, adding further ease to its transportation and maneuverability.
Main Features
The Greenworks PW18HYB
The Greenworks PW18HYB comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: The pressure washer features a removable tank for detergent storage. Utilizing an automatic soap dilution mechanism, the Greenworks PW18HYB accurately mixes detergent to the defined ratio of 7:1, enhancing cleaning efficiency. The detergent is automatically mixed with the water flow by the pressure washer when a soap nozzle is connected.
- Pressure hose: The unit comes equipped with an included 20 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose, which can be neatly stored on the unit when idle, thanks to a set of convenient hooks, ensuring easy access and organization.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: Below, you'll find a table outlining the 4 included nozzles and their recommended surfaces.
