Ranked #5 in Best Pressure Washers Under $300

Greenworks GPW1951

4.3

$149.99as of Jun 7

The Greenworks GPW1951 is the tidy, hassle-free value pick, pairing a quiet 13-amp induction motor with an onboard hose reel and convertible vertical or horizontal storage. Its 1950 PSI and 1.2 GPM output is the most modest here, best suited to cars, patio furniture and light siding rather than heavy concrete. For buyers who prize easy storage and quiet operation at a low price, it's a sensible everyday washer.

Strengths

— Efficient 13-amp induction motor runs quietly and reliably
— Onboard hose reel keeps the 25-foot pressure hose tidy and tangle-free
— Convertible vertical or horizontal orientation for flexible storage

Watch-outs

— 1950 PSi / 1.2 GPM output is the lowest in this roundup
— Not powerful enough for heavy concrete or deeply embedded grime
— Shorter 1-year warranty than the Ryobi and Westinghouse

How they stack up

The lightest-duty pick versus the more powerful Sun Joe SPX3000, Ryobi RY142300 and Westinghouse WPX3000e, but the only one with an onboard hose reel. Comparable in compactness to the Karcher K1700 while offering more reach.
