Electric pressure washers are gaining more capability, making them more popular than ever. The Greenworks 3000 PSI electric pressure washer is one of the strongest options available without moving to a gas engine.
Greenworks 3000 PSI Electric Pressure Washer Performance
- Max Water Pressure: 3000 PSI (with 1.1 GPM)
- Max Water Flow: 2.0 GPM (with 100 PSI)
- Hose: 25 feet
- Cord: 35 feet with GFCI
- Wheels: 10 inches
There are two main ratings you need to know about any pressure washer: PSI and GPM. Greenworks can reach 3000 PSI with this model and up to 2.0 GPM, depending on which nozzle you’re using. Considering a decent electric model is around 2000 PSI/2.0 GPM, this is clearly a big step up. One of the ways Greenworks gets such high performance is its use of a brushless motor.
Brushless motors require electronic controls and that adds some possibilities. For the Greenworks 3000 PSI electric pressure washer, one of them is intelligent sensors that adjust the power and flow based on which nozzle you have on the wand.
However, not all ratings are the same. Some brands play games with where or how they take measurements, resulting in PSI Max and GPM Max that don’t accurately represent the working ratings. Greenworks has its ratings certified by the PWMA so there’s a high degree of confidence that the ratings on the box are what you’ll actually experience when you’re cleaning.
What you end up with is an electric pressure washer that really does clean with the power of entry-level gas models. And of course, there are no gas engine hassles, noise, or emissions to deal with.
