Still has the ratings locked out for me. I bought a green works at Lowes last week and took it back an hour later. It has a hose that looked like a supply line for a washing machine the hole thing was just flimsy built.

I purchased a Ryobi at Home Depot a couple of years ago. It was on sale a bit below $200.00 iirc.

We're very pleased with it for general household use. (Deck washing, siding, garage door, sidewalk, autos, etc)

+1 That's the one I've got and I love it. It does everything I need to do around the house.

It’s always been said electric can’t compare to gas in pressure washers. At 3000 PSI and 4 GPM, I don’t think this bad boy got the memo. You should get it and let us know how it works.

Little pricey for me. Lol. I could get a steam cleaner for that.

The Sun Joe brand has pretty good reviews from what I've read. Anybody have one of those?

My son moved to WA state and left me one of those.   I used it to power wash the deck before I treated it.  Not to shabby, the middle tip would scar the wood if left in one place too long.  I liked that the pump would shut off if I stopped squeezing the handle.  The black tip, for soap, was pretty good too, good dispersion but a little fast, but it came with two bottles so I guess it was ok.

My wife is a SunJoe fanatic. She has bought 2, over the years, of their pole saws. I laughed at it the first time I saw it and refused to use that "piece of junk." Well as you would think, I did finally use it to cut a lot of limbs, and even cut up to 5/6 inch ones when a Hackberry went down in the back yard.

I was very impressed with it. The little thing cut very well until I burnt the motor out on in last fall. 

We now have another, still in the box, and she did order a pressure washer recently. I don't know the specs on it, but if anything like the pole saw; it should be ok. I'm sure it won't be a real heavy duty model though. We shall see in the spring when it gets used.

I own a lot of Dewalt tools. Can't say that I have regretted one purchase, and thrilled with most. And yeah... the make you pay for it.

They're supposed to have a 2 year warranty, but who knows if the stand behind it or not.

I've had a greenworks for years now.   I'm happy with it.  I paid 99 bucks for it like 6 years ago.  Still works okay.  But it is getting tired (at connections) so I think its time to get something else.

Yes, but the amount of money to send it back make it not worth the trouble. I just won't buy another.
