Greenworks 1700 Pressure Washer with optional Quick Connects

- I mounted my Greenworks 2000 on the wall in the garage so I wanted another one that I can use in the backyard that is more portable like this Greenworks 1700. For those new to Pressure Washers, these do not come with the hose attachments quick connects. You'll need to screw them on, which can be a PITA! Like and comment on this video so you can reference it!
All the quick connects should work with all the popular pressure washers in the USA. Double check though!
CORRECTION: The included white tip is 40 degree, not 25 degree.

Just bought the pressure washer & the quick connects but I was wondering if I need the valve that controls the flow of water as well or is that just your preference so you don’t have to go back to the main line to turn the water off?
I came for the pressure washer review and left wanting the quick connects too. Very good review.
G. Holland I feel like quick connects should be included! Screwing hoses becomes a huge hassle over time. Thanks for your comment!!!
Hi, have ur bought and connected the quick connects? I just ordered them for 2 of my hose faucets and for the pressure washer. I’m just curious to see what ur opinion is. One of my hoses leaks and I’m hoping this stops that. Thanks!
Went and purchased this today and also ordered the quick connects.. this little pressure washer works great.. thanks for your video and tips.. great job
Great review, thanks! Just picked mine up today from Lowe's on sale for about $80 and looking forward to putting it to use. Will definitely need to get some quick connects. Thanks again!
Felt the same way but had difficulty finding them. Very informative video. Makes sense to show mistakes and how to correct.
This was an excellent video of this product thanks for tips on the quick disconnects.
Awesome tip with the quick connects, I bought one for no real purpose. Now I have a reason to buy another. Thank you.
GREAT Review! Totally picking up one of these......and especially the quick connects! I was on the fence between the 1700 and the 2000----and I think for washing my siding, car, and a little concrete---the 1700 will be fine.... I like that it's compact, etc.
Thanks for posting! Lowe's has a Quick Disconnect set that works much better. Easy On and Off each time you use it. I used an extension cord and it worked great.
I used this for the first time. I will have to say it is a nice little device and more with the quick connects... Thank you for the recommendation
Excellent informative video . Great advice to us all for the quick connects.
Gregg Mireau thanks for taking the time to leave feedback! Did you get one?
I appreciate the review..I just bought this today and was hoping someone had reviewed it and I too left wanting the quick connects which I will be buying tomorrow before I use it for the first time..Thanks again!
Thanks! It does make it a lot easier to setup and put away!
@@GaryCruzDotCom I got the quick connects..excellent advice..so much easier!
Awesome in depth review! Saved so much headache of trial and error thank you very much!!😊
Great Pressure Washer for the price your video was VERY informative and I ended up getting the quick connects too Thank you!
I couldn't imagine NOT having quick connects. Too bad they aren't included.
Thank you. I had to go through trial and error, finding the manual, finding the manual of no help, and 2 other videos before I found your video to see how the soap container is supposed to properly attach the washer. I had incorrectly thought the extender attaches to the soap container and your video shows that it is indeed NOT supposed to attach to the soap container.
This is one of the best reviews regarding any product I have ever seen. Thorough and well said!!
ANNA Smalls thank you for the compliment! Did you get one?
Thanks, I just ordered some of the connectors you listed.
Right on! They save a lot of time and hassle.
Old school Honda Accord! Still looks good!
I got one for washing my car and I love it! I did get an aftermarket hose and a foam cannon from Amazon. Over a year now and not a single issue.
That's great to hear!
@@GaryCruzDotCom I do like how you used quick connects. Think I might go that route
Nice you didn't have any issues. Mine started to make a crazy noise. I called greenworks, they heard the noise comming from the pressure washer instantly agreed on sending me a new one with no cost. After I got the replacement I opened the broken one to find out the screws that hold motor and pump together were out of place. There should be 4 screws but only 3 were put in place. I just finish putting it together at midnight. I will try it tomorrow, hope it works again.
I used this to clean my driveway, and it cleaned it beautifully. It's alot of standing and it takes time, but it is clean cleaned.
Neighbor came over trying to use it. I just purchased it from Lowe's. I have the house and shed to go. 🤫
It gets addicting! Glad to hear it working out for you!
Thank you so much for this video ! Love it
You’re welcome!
Man, you saved me some money, I thought mine was broken.
Great job & very thorough for newbies to pressure washers like me who own this unit but haven't used it yet. Also thanks for actually using the foam cannon which was what I was looking for as well. # How a video should be done.
Thank you for the feedback!
The sprayer needs to be held down tight when spraying. The machine wines down if you let go of the handle. Foam cannon is fun to use on outdoor rugs and siding.
@@GaryCruzDotCom
best review of anything i have ever seen!
Euridis Amarante what an awesome compliment! Glad you found it helpful ☺️
@@GaryCruzDotCom anytime brother
really good video man. thanks
thank you for the valuable info
Thanks for showing and explaining the quick connects cause I ruined the pressure washer connector from connecting to the garden hose because it ended up leaking from unscrewing the garden hose (ruined the threading) 😢 I bought another cleaner and will use quick connects-I didn't know how to use them. THANKS! for explaining and the visual tutorial 😊
We use it to clean our patio area .works great
I'm a female newbie! Thank you SOOOOO much for you video. Very simple abd clearly understood.
Glad I was able to help!
Thanks. Great review.
jeffj318 thanks for the feedback! Did you get one?
Thank you, very informative!
Thank you the only vid that showed wat I actually needed ur a lifesaver 🤦🏾♂️
Thanks for your feedback!
Thank you so much for doing this video. I'm a newb so laying out the items and how to install makes my life so much easier. Salamat!
Walang anuman Edwin! Thanks for leaving a comment!
Excellent video. Which replacement foam cannon did you use? I didn't see it in your video. I bought the Foam Cannon by tool daily and it does not fit my gun.
Best review ever thank you
I'm glad it was helpful! I hope you were able to get one! What will you wash first?
👍🏻Looks exactly like the Craftsman from Lowes.
The lance connection and soap dispenser connection is call a bayonet its one of the industrie standards out of 13 mostly used in that location on the gun
Dam good review 👍
Thank you!
Great detailed video thank you for providing links can ou use a different gun i saw you had a smaller gun ? Do quick connects fit that as well?
The wand and the soap dispenser are made of quality hard plastic, reviewers sometimes refer to plastic parts like they were bad when its not...I got the same washer and Im happy with it. Greenworks make good quality products..
I didn't say it was bad, but it's not as high quality as the Greenworks 2000 which feels like it will last longer. Some people may want to know that since I have both. Don't get me wrong, the soap dispenser is great and I've seen people rave about it on RUclips - after they said it was their first washer. I have another one that works a lot better and was giving my honest opinion.
Understood, sorry if I mislead your comparison...thanks
@@rondamon8004 No worries, I think 99% of the people who buy this who have never owned a pressure washer is going to be VERY happy with it :-) Thanks for stopping by! I have another pressure washer related video coming up (I usually post about tech I'm interested in - not just pressure washers) - Which washer do you have?
Great power washer
Yea, I think its time to retire muh old Karcher 210. So many accessories with this little guy. Off to the Lowes I go.
With the blue Teflon tape you only need to go around like twice maybe three times... otherwise it becomes too thick and things will crack.
Great tip! I'm sure others will find it useful!
You don't need any Teflon tape for this kind of fitting, they seal via an o-ring, not on the threads. You would need Teflon tape on NPT fittings that are tapered and seal on the threads themselves.
@@ScienceBitch123 Try it without it and you're gonna get wet!
Can you suggest a cheaper foam cannon and gun which will work with this
Hey sir, do you have a video of taking it apart??
Mine keeps going into “standby” mode every 3 seconds ! It keeps detecting their air in it but I don’t know how to take it apart, I don’t want to destroy anything
How is it compare to greenwork 2000 psi?
So if you want to replace the pressure washing hose on this model you need the 3/8” hose and not the 1/4” hose correct?
any recommendations to replace the gun..mine leaks..tighten the screws still leaks..tia
Thank you for the review. It was very helpful. Yesterday, I bought the 1700 pressure washer to remove paint from my shutters and porch ceiling. I believe it will do the job and alleviate the pain and time from me scraping and sanding. If so, it will be worth every penny. Because I haven't viewed the contents of the box yet, I didn't know if any quick connects are included and how much? I thought you referred to purchasing extras from Amazon.
Sharon Peace yes check out the description for links
Would this work with a water tank for mobile detailing? 😁
Love your old Honda. I drive around admiring all the older cars that seem to last forever. Some caan last up to 300, 000 miles. Am I weird or what? Maybe I am not really into cars. I just need a reliable car. Love your video.
Thanks for the comment! We have people asking if it's for sale, so you aren't weird!
Big help thanks
Great video ! For the twinkle quick connect - u got two of exactly the same right? One pair for hose to wand and one pair for garden hose connect right ? Both twinkle quick connect are same size right ?
What size is the orifice on the 40 degree tip ?
I see it has a large sediment catcher in the unit would it be good to purchase one that can collect a finer smaller pieces?, twinkle star has a 2 screen unit to filter and it's clear so you can see in.
Michael Maxwell we have pretty clean water where I live, could be handy depending on the quality of your water!
I believe the white tip is a 40 degree spray pattern.
Correct! It was in my description on RUclips as a correction.
Have you tried this one with the surface attachment from 2000 review? Curious if it’s adequate for light concrete cleaning. I’m guessing it needs more pressure for that, but hoping it might work.
It would work, but slower. Again, think of the analogy of a vacuum cleaner. Less suction means spending more time in one area. Similar with water pressure.
what if you don't have any nozzle connected, with the power on? Will the wand spray high power? If it does, is it wide or narrow output? I feel both the turbo nozzle and the 25 degree are too wide .
No nozzle = no pressure, it will come out like a hose
mine leaks from the water in put fitting
Hi i dont like the foam cannon this comes with. what foam cannons can i buy on amazon that work for this? because i dont think many work on this pressure washer.
Because it's not a foam cannon.
Where can I get the quick connect for the pressure washer hose part and is it 3/8?
I have all the links in my description.
Are those M22 Connections the 14mm or 15mm at the water outlet on the pressure washer?
I can verify this pressure washer uses the M22 14mm , hooked it up today. You do not want the 15mm for this.
So you remove the pressure washer hose after every use ? Is it better to store that way in between uses ?
I do, it saves space for me since it sticks out so much.
My power button doesn't turn on. Any idea where I can find a replacement
Try this: www.greenworkstools.com/contact
So how many of the quick connects do I need ..? It looks like you used 4 of them correct..? 4 of them which are sold separately?
1. body to high pressure (hp) hose (twinkle). 2. other end of hp hose to gun (twinkle). 3. body to regular hose (gorilla) 4. regular hose to faucet (gorilla). Hope that helps.
How does it run today? I just bought this replacing my 1600 version that didn’t run well would not build pressure
I use my 2000 at least twice a month. This 1,700 maybe once a month so I'm not pushing it that much. Still working great!
Will an extension cord damage the unit???
Not if you have one that covers the minimum amperage.
Do you think you can use this on an rv taking off mildew?
Absolutely. Mildew will blow right off!
Great video, thanks for all the info and efforts. So which pressure washer hose and gun do you recommend to upgrade from the factory ones?
I got this gun: amzn.to/3epnSZ3 and this hose: amzn.to/3dq4jOL
Thank you
I just bought this thing after I saw your review and I love it!! It’s much more powerful than I expected given it’s only 80 dollars. I am thinking of getting an extension cord for future use soon but the paper manual said they do not recommend extension cord (although they didn’t say you can’t use one). Which one do you recommend and has the one you used in the video given you an issue? If not what are the specs for it so I can get the same one? Thanks a bunch
Glad you love it! This is the hose I use: amzn.to/3FkdorO
I only used a small cord with a right angle head. amzn.to/3apmq8J
@@GaryCruzDotCom it’s all good! I didn’t think about just buying a longer a longer extension hose. I believe that would be much better!
Does anyone have an issue with the reset button constantly popping out?
You might have a bad ground
Teflon tape is not required when the connector has a rubber washer or gasket. This M22 connector has a double-rubber o-ring. So... nice job, but no need. And wrench not needed to tighten, for same reason. hand-tighten only.
I think using quick-connects is a good idea, but there are some downsides. First, the connector sticks out a long way, which negates some of its compactness, and makes it harder to store. Also, it makes the connector more susceptible to damage, because of the extra leverage.
did you try your other foam cannon with this new washer? how did it work?
Yes, it works way better than the included one.
Which foam cannon will work with this?? Links? Thanks for the vid!
Lowe’s and Home Depot have same quick disconnects
dtruth they cost more
The Unit doesn't provide the hose connector in the box. That's not good.
Do you have to use the connectors?
No, it comes with everything you need out of the box. The connectors are for convenience.
It sounds fairly quiet, maybe cus of the video? Is it like that up close as well?
Elevated - oh man! I should have done a sound comparison. Stay tuned, I’ll compare against the 2000. The sound is reduced in the video by -10db or so.
It’s extremely quiet I just purchased one I love it very small and convenient can store in trunk or a car
I left a comment somewhere but anyway, i found out you don't need the connectors unless you are using this everyday. great job. i love it and i will clear my pathway between my house and my asshole neighbor. he is one s,o.b that has no respect for anyone but i have been dealing with his b.s. for 18 yrs anyway, this washer will do my job. i took dirt from every where i never knew i had, imma use this jewel at least 1 times a wk.
It's a decent pressure washer for light duty cleaning but you're not cleaning any concrete with it or bricks in a timely manner. It is excellent for blowing spider webs off the side of the house though. The box never stated it came with a foam cannon as it's a high pressure soap dispenser.
Great point on the soap dispenser!
So how many Garden hose quick connect and pressure washer adapter quick connect I need?
ANIL PANICKER 2 sets each at a minimum.
@@GaryCruzDotCom Thank you!
See the description for the quick connect links:

Where's the Quick Disconnect power cord ?
Great idea!
How many quick connects are you using in total for this pressure washer?
A set for the wand to high pressure hose, A set for high pressure hose to washer outlet, and a set for the regular hose intake to faucet. A set comes with the female / male.
Gary Cruz Dot Com so three in total... I think I only bought 2 😂
Kerry Smith let me know how it goes!!!
does the surface cleaner attachment work with these quick connect?
Jonathan Torres yes, it will fit on the wand
@@GaryCruzDotCom thank you bro. Excellent video. Thank you for taking your time explaining everything and all of the tips. I have everything coming in. Its worth the extra money for less hassle. Thumbs up.
Jonathan Torres thanks! If you are like me, you probably watched all the videos! I think the stuff that was missing for me was detailed info on the quick releases!
@@GaryCruzDotCom exactly. I ordered all of the quick connects. Even for the spigot and the end of the hose. I like your setup.
Jonathan Torres it’s going to make it a lot easier for sure!
They were all recalled

Do you have a garden hose recommend? Length size
I no longer use the traditional hose, so I get one long enough to clear the bottom of the deck. I got this brand: amzn.to/3efcS0j
Went out and grabbed this while on sale after watching your vid. Two more questions, saw a 3/4 hose 50 foot, figured bigger hose would make easier pressure , would it hook up and work on this unit? Do you use pump saver to maintain the seals in this smaller unit, it's also for winterising.
Michael Maxwell I haven’t researched the pump saver yet, but it seems like a good idea.
Looking at a bunch this flexzilla is good, do you own one with the swivel handles? For the pressure washer
How can you replace the foam cannon? I bought a better one but it doesn't fit as it doesn't have the plastic connector that the included one has. Any clue?
no teflon needed if its twist connect.. it has oring to keep it from leaking. the thread is just to keep it in place.
Good to know. Hasn’t leaked or become loose.
i would spend the extra $25 for the foam cannon and gun kit from twinklestar
wont work all the time wont turn on watts up whithe that
Belinda Robinson-Cason you might have a defective one? I’d say contact Lowe’s or Greenworks.
mines doing the same.. did you have to return it?
Needs a bigger detergent bottle.
4.5/5 🌟
Good video I am in the market of buying a pressure machine, but this one will not suit me. I have green works lawnmower Rototiller awesome products, but this little machine now this is good for washing cars washing your house washing windows on your house and that’s about it. It’s just a washer not a high pressure wash, but good products and great review. Thank you.
You don't need thread tape in an o ring connection..... Just fyi
Thanks!
No problem..I used to overuse it. Funny thing about rubber washers and o rings is over tightening can smash and deform the ring and cause leaks. It's more about applying just enough pressure to seal the 2 connections
I tried to put mine together and found the quick connectors missing. Now i see they are not included so wtf ?? i asked the girl at lowe's and said everything should be in the box ?? well, i'm going for my refund tomorrow and get my washer somewhere else.
Hi Mike, sorry you thought they came with quick connects. All the videos I saw prior to getting mine never talked about them, that's why I made my video about the "optional" quick connects.
@@GaryCruzDotCom I never looked into buying one before so i knew little about them. I'm looking at the ryobi at home depot and giving it a real thought so, we'll see.
@@hotdog12ify I don’t think you can go wrong with either! You’ll have fun blasting away the grime!
@@GaryCruzDotCom no harm no foul buddy, i used mine with none of the above and works great. quick connectors are you choice respectully. works no better with or, with out them, enjoy.
@@hotdog12ify agreed! have a great weekend!
Nothing happens until 23:30 FYI
Didn't mix your solution
have you used soap more than twice in your life? LOL bubbles depend on soap concentration.
That was my 3rd time! My 1st with this one.
Halfway through this pressure washer review video that I’m watching to see if it’s worth my money and we’re still reviewing quick connects...
Human centipede lmao
You was using too much extra stuff
