    I have been looking at one of these to run a 15" Karcher surface cleaner, and for car detailing. Now I'm not sure if it'd be able to handle the surface cleaner. Hmm.

    • @TerryOtsubo
      @TerryOtsubo  2 года назад

      The problem is the GPM most of the surface cleaners require. If the Karcher 15" surface cleaner is made for electric, it should work.

    Homeowner here. Patio, siding , car etc,
    3000 is on sale for $349 and 2301 is $249 at Lowe’s. Thinking of saving the $100 and using that to buy a 25 foot uberflex extension, foam cannon and short wand. Thoughts?
    Thanks!

    Very nice video. I just bought one on Black Friday special, nice discount. Question, if the unit comes with a detergent tank, why people use the foam cannon container? How are they different?

    • @TerryOtsubo
      @TerryOtsubo  2 года назад

      Thank you for the comment. The foam cannon adds air to create the foam. It is adjustable. It can allows you to adjust the amount of soap, water and air basically. The down-tank on the pressure washer is more for things that don't need air mixed in. For example, I've seen some people pour Sodium Hydrochloride/bleach in it.

    How much water flow using the different spray angles?

    • @TerryOtsubo
      @TerryOtsubo  3 года назад +2

      I didn't test that.
      However, the rating is certified at 1.1 GPM or above 4 liters per minute. That is pretty standard with electric pressure washers. I do not think any electric pressure washer has the ability to exceed that flow rate (unless there is no tip attached).

  • @MEJB7
    @MEJB7 3 года назад +3

    I'm confused. It's rated for 3000psi, but on "idle" its 2500? And then the different tips give different pressures? Is there a regulator on it to adjust pressure? And if your pressure gauge is at the motor why would you get different pressures when you change your tip? The motor should be putting out the same pressure and your tip determines the power right?

    • @TerryOtsubo
      @TerryOtsubo  3 года назад +2

      There is no manual regulator adjustment. This is a quote from the Greenworks website:
      "Featuring our patented JETTFlow™ Technology - the digitally controlled brushless motor automatically recognizes the selected nozzle, providing the maximum amount of consistent water flow. With our heavy-duty cast aluminum axial cam pump, this pressure washer delivers Better Than Gas™ performance with the convenience of clean sustainable power. "
      I may have a defective unit. I'm going to contact them about why I cannot get a constant 3000 PSI with the 15 degree tip.

      The quick connects are getting damaged. The ball bearings inside them cause grooves in the mating surface of the odd connectors. I think this is common behaviour across all brass fittings. So, it is to be expected and will eventually wear out and need replacing. The rubber gaskets are holding the water fine. No leaks.

    What do you prefer for the average homeowner that wants to clean siding , a 25 foot driveway and porch concrete ? The Greenworks 2000 , 2300 or 2700 .. I doubt I need the GREENWORKS 3000. Just asking thanks

    • @TerryOtsubo
      @TerryOtsubo  3 года назад +3

      After using many different pressure washers for various things; such as driveway, siding and car, I find that having more pressure is better. Also, more flow is better for spinning those pancake-style surface cleaners. The small Ryobi surface cleaner for the electric pressure washers is good, but I have a lot of driveway. A larger diameter one would have been much faster but would require a larger pressure washer. With that said and with what I've seen online concerning the Greenworks 2700 and my own tests with the 3000 PSI pressure washer, I'd probably have save some money if I just picked up the 2700 PSI. The testing that I have seen shows pretty much the same results that for the 2700 PSI washer that I saw in my tests for the 3000 PSI washer.

    I purchased this last night and didn’t get the extended warranty for $65.00 for three years beyond the manufactures warranty. I’m wondering if I should go back and add the warranty or not. Purchased from Lowe’s. What’s your suggestion ? Thank you

    • @TerryOtsubo
      @TerryOtsubo  3 года назад +1

      I didn't get the extended warranty.
      I typically don't get the extended warranty. I use my pressure washer once every two to three months. I hope to get at least 10 years out of it. The only things I can imagine breaking are the motor and pump. Everything else, I probably can fix with stuff I keep around in my workshop. I'm not saying that the motor and pump would break, but if they did, I can't imagine them being more expensive than the blower motor in my HVAC system, which can be purchased for under $100 USD.
      The mathematics doesn't work out in my situation. However, it may work out for your situation.
      While I'm comfortable with fixing things when they break. However, as I get older (2021, I'm in my late 40s), my back gave out while I was disassembling my freezer... was lifting the door and then sudden pain. So, I can foresee that I may not always be able to repair and service my own equipment. Perhaps at that point, the extended warranty would make sense for me.
      I'd still read the fine print. For example, is it $65 and then if it breaks, you drop it off at Lowes? Does it have a deductible? What happens if they can't repair it? Does it cover both parts and labor? What if you can't drop it off? Does it cover onsite repair?
      I'm not one of those people who never buy extended warranties. For example, I have extended warranties on my phone and watch.
      Now, if you're asking if I think the pressure washer will break in six years... Depends on many factors. How much do you use it, how long do you let it idle, how do you store it, do you clean it after each use, do you store it indoors... I believe that under the best conditions, this or any other pressure washer will still break. I still have my gas-powered Simpson pressure washer with a Honda (consumer-grade) engine and even it has had issues. In my use case, I expect to get at least ten years. When I use my pressure washer it gets used 10 hours straight. So far, no problems.
      Greenworks support is not the best in my opinion. I still have an open ticket with them that I opened in early June about why the pressure I was seeing was 500 PSI lower. If this were Ryobi, which I've contacted in the past many times, my question would have been answered weeks ago. Ryobi's stuff breaks all the time, but their support is top-notch. I really wanted to buy a Ryobi pressure washer, but wanted to give Greenworks a try.

    • @TerryOtsubo
      @TerryOtsubo  3 года назад +1

      Thank you for watching. I wouldn’t use the tips provided for patio pavers. Instead, a surface cleaning attachment. However, if that’s all I had to work with and just needed to get it done, then I would start with the 40° tip to see if that worked. If not, then the next strongest tip and so on. The strongest tip is the turbo nozzle. The less cleaning you do with a pressure washer, the better.

I currently recommend the Greenworks 15-in 3100 PSI Rotating Surface Cleaner for Electric Pressure Washers opposed to the Ryobi 12 in. 2,300 PSI Electric Pressure Washers Surface Cleaner. This mainly due the pressure and diameter of the attachment. The larger diameter typically allows you to finish the job faster. Also, I wouldn't recommend any non-electric pressure washing surface cleaners as the GW 3000 unit doesn't have enough water volume to keep the spinners spinning. I hope this information is helpful.

      The Simpson surface cleaner attachment didn't work with the Greenworks pressure washer. The wands inside spun, but not very fast. I'm guessing the Greenworks didn't have enough pressure and water volume to move the wands. It probably needs more than 1.2 GPM. The recording on the pressure gauge read only 300 PSI.

After all this do you think the greenworks 3000 is priced correctly or is there other electric pressure washers lower in price that can perform close to the greenworks 3000? Do you think the greenworks 3000 can perform well at doing simple jobs at home?

      The Foam Canon was nice. The regular MATCC was not that great when compared to the MATCC III. In terms of price, that is a tough one. I think the 2700 PSI version would probably have had the same results. The pressure washer is loud, but not as loud as my Simpson 3000 PSI gas pressure washer. I had the pressure washer in my garage so I could wash the patio. It was quiet when it was in the garage. One thing that surprised me was that there was no noticeable pressure drop when using an additional 100 feet of hose. I was told that the tip elevation has more of an impact than the length of the hose in regards to pressure drop. Meaning, if the pressure washer was under my deck and I was on top of my deck pressure washing it, there would be a drop in PSI.
