Greenworks Pro 2300PSI Pressure Washer Review/Unbox/Demo

[@TheLawnGuardian]

Great review and thank for pointing out the delay on this model. I was able to purchase the newer model of this power washer at Lowe's for $183 (originally $250) since it had been returned. I went ahead and also bought the Greenworks GPW2006 2000 psi pressure washer on sale for $150 at Lowe's to see which one I liked. Although the 2300 was only $30 more I went ahead and kept the 2000 because that delay will become quite annoying to work around when doing various jobs. Anyone that has pressure washed different things, knows that many times you're not constantly pulling the trigger and not getting the power immediately makes a big difference when working.

[@kb04svt]

The reason for the delay is because its a brushless induction motor…. Without direct contact from a brush, the motor needs to spin up to create the fields necessary for torque- applying all the pressure at once would mean the motor couldn’t start or would have a tough time doing so. The holy grail would be to have a brushless motor, but instead of induction, use a permanent reluctance magnet motor. Naturally, that would be $$$. So the trade off here is a bullet proof motor that is cheap, with lots of power that will last forever- but with a tiny delay. Worth it in my opinion

[@aaronstestlab]

The Greenworks GPW3000 has a brushless motor without the delay

[@nanookdan]

Fantastic video. I was about to hit the Buy button on this unit and now I feel like a more informed buyer. Liked and subscribed!

[@denoca3261]

I couldn't care less about the delay. You gave it a thumbs up in spite of this and that's good enough for me!

[@xenalawarrior6916]

I bought the 2300 in the spring (April). Washed my front deck once and front siding. Washed my back deck twice. And the side of my house once. Went to use it again two weeks ago ( 2nd week of December), and water started spewing out of the bottom of the pump. (Not the nozzle connectors). Shut it off and called the company. Customer service is great for this company. I told them what happened and they asked for my contact information and I emailed them a copy of my receipt while I was on the phone with them. They immediately ordered a replacement for me and I got it in the mail within two weeks. Not only did they replace my 2300, but since they didn't have any more 2300's in stock, , they ent me the 2700 model. I have yet to try it out yet. Hopefully it does not have that annoying 4 second delay. I must admit it did drive me nuts when power washing the couple of times that I did use it. Everytime I stopped spraying for even a second, I had to wait for the spray. Very annoying compared to my cheaper units that I've had in the past that had an instant spray when holding the trigger. The only problem is now sending the old one back to them considering I threw out the box back in April! But before It broke I did enjoy the power compared to previous power washers and the ease of changing the tips out.

[@DavidErato]

I had a leaky pump out of the box. I called the # on the unit, but the CSR didn't seem to understand the issue at all. They're sending out a part (I don't see how that will help), but I decided to return it to Lowe's and order a second one. This has enough features/fit+finish the delay start didn't bother me for the few times I'll use it. The $100+ jump to the 2700 is a bit much for a tool I won't use often.

[@kevinagullana742]

I bought the 2300, I am using this for house hold stuff, driveway, patio, car washing etc. I don't mind the delay as a homeowner, and I know they did this to add longevity to the engine which is brushless which is better than a universal motor.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Gotta rewatch this full video later but just based on the pressure gauge test, I think you sold me on this unit. Specifically searched through your videos because you actually put a gauge on them and test different tips. Was leaning towards the Ryobi 2300, but now seeing that this one makes almost triple the power with a 40° tip, I think it will be way better for washing my truck and this one is still $50 cheaper than the Ryobi. Thanks for the review! Edit: I saw your comment about the green works 2700 and it’s actually the same price and even more pressure! I think the 2700 may be the one!

[@aaronstestlab]

I did a review on the 2700. It’s fantastic.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@aaronstestlab Saved that video to watch when I get home! Do you think that’s pretty much the best bang for your buck electric pressure washer for foam cannon/washing vehicles and the occasional deck or sidewalk cleaning? I had a snap-on 1650 psi with adjustable nozzle and even that worked ok for concrete.

[@aaronstestlab]

bang for your buck is kinda a tough call since it's among the most expensive. I might opt for the GPW2301 if I were looking for a great power/value combo.

[@adamg.1845]

So the 2700 doesn’t have the delay and no total stop tho right?

[@adamg.1845]

2301 doesn’t have delay? I’m confused!

[@bill40409]

Another fine pressure washer review. I had considered that GPW2300 but ended up getting the GPW2006 over Labor Day weekend. I'm happy with it, just hope it holds up over the long term. Looking forward to your next review.

[@aaronstestlab]

Good choice. Have run my GPW2006 pretty hard over the last year and it still runs like new.

[@RickyG225]

Seems like the younger brother 2000psi wins overall IMHO! Good Job!

[@lucindam6783]

Awesome video, Aaron!

[@MrBla99999]

the "delay" is so you don't blow the wand out of your hand on higher pressures, also a ramp on the motor and gearbox, pistons i'm sure apricate the ramp up as well. Get into high pressure like 15K @ 20gpm and you'll really see what i'm talking about. if you pin that system you'll spin the operator of the wand right around if they are strong enough to hold on haha.

[@aaronstestlab]

Greenworks' own more powerful pressure washers don't have the delay

[@rollingreclinerRecumbent]

That obnoxious delay is a deal breaker. My understanding is that the orifice diameter is what affects GPM and pressure not the width of the spray tip.

[@christophermandalas290]

Awesome review!

[@johngaspar4425]

The delay I believe is a feature - not a bug. Imagine if the gun is pointed somewhere wrong when it is started up.

[@aaronstestlab]

No other pressure washers behave this way.

[@vinsonhelton7141]

At Lowes as of 12/22 they have 2 2300 psi models. One is 200 dollars and one is 329 on sale for 300. The 300 dollar unit says it has the jet flow motor the other (the unit your showing) does not say jet flow and is 100 dollars cheaper. The 300 dollar unit when tested on other youtube channels produces 200 psi more with every tip.

[@StarryNight007]

I'm looking at both models right now at Lowes as I'm typing this. One is the GPW2302FC FC meaning foam cannon, its a bonus item. The other model, with jet flow tech is GPW2301, on sale for 269!

[@RogueShadowTCN]

At present I can only assume that start delay has something to do with why this can reach a bit higher pressure than every other electric pressure washer in this price range. Further research may be required, though that won't change the delay, or it's annoyingness.

[@charlesburkhalter4658]

They are good,but have leaky pumps after a few times of use. You can tighten bolts,but eventually one strips.i have went through 5 of them in a year. Hopefully the next one will last. Gonna give it one more chance.

[@bama3dr608]

I wonder if the soft start is meant to prolong the life of the motor or maybe to keep the amp draw spike in check when it starts to keep from popping a breaker? Maybe not though since you said no other washers you've tested do this.

[@kohnbonn9744]

I just picked up an older model 2300 and the pressure is way down on it. Is it beat or is there a way to get the pressure higher?

[@thesoldiermedic]

I just bought it he gpw2301 and it has the same delay as the 2300 and it is a bit annoying but while it’s going it does some amazing work for an electric pressure washer

[@aaronstestlab]

That's too bad. Was hoping they fixed that one annoyance.

[@greenidguy9292]

@@aaronstestlab The delay is on purpose due to their “jet flow” system.

[@matthewprendergast157]

Great reviews, I have watched your review of the 2000, 2300, and 2700. Did you test the amperage draw of the 2300? It seemed like the one thing that was missing. I love the enthusiasm for the 2700 but am leaning towards the 2000 since searching someone from strata to reset a breaker sounds painful lol.

[@coopula3387]

I agree amperage draw is huge on these things most garages have 15 amp breakers a lot of the ones I see tested go way over that on start up.

[@matthewprendergast157]

@@coopula3387 I have since purchased the Greenworks 2000 and used it for auto detailing quite a bit over the last 5 months (bi-weekly on average) with great satisfaction. I plug it into a 15 amp GFIC plug and have never tripped it. I did upgrade to quick-release connections right away. I am not a fan of the long wand and am happy that I upgraded to the M Mingle Short Gun. I did not like the excessive protective oil on the exterior of the product, but this is a small short-term issue. I never tried the built-in foam cannon/reservoir, but rather purchased the MTM Hydro foam cannon at the same time. Another 5 ft on the 25 ft hose would be nice but not necessary (although I have a small car). Hope this helps anyone considering the purchase.

Great review Aaron. I have a request: The GPW2300 has been discontinued by Greenworks and is no longer available. It has been replaced by the similar spec'ed GPW2301 which is now available at Lowes. Could you do a review of this new model?

[@DavidErato]

Yes, please!

A lot of people are asking about the 2700 psi and I myself am also really interested. It looks like ur considering it but do u think u will? That gauge test is a godsend lol nice to see what IS ACTUALLY the true power they all claim the same but who actuslly does it. I'm really hoping u do test the 2700 version

[@aaronstestlab]

I've got a few other videos on deck. But I think enough people have requested a review of the 2700 that I'll probably pick one up. Out of curiosity, where are people inquiring?

[@AverageReviewsYT]

@@aaronstestlab the comment section. I see people asking u lol and yeah im just really jntetested in one and ur one of the few that use gauges tk show true psi. Although i wonder if the 40psi tips arent a higher gpm compare to the 15.. i say that because u can get tip of any size in any catagory of gpm i wonder if ryobi and greenworks use diffrent gpm for higher angles. I think the 2300 would be solid but i guess getting used to that weird delay that i see other people having would be the worse thing. I wonder why they do that

[@manofreedom]

Just today ( July 3rd 2021 ) I bought the Greenworks 2700 PSI from Lowes. What a defective piece of junk !! Ran for 5 minutes then stopped. Every time I got it restarted just as soon as I squeezed the handle on the spray nozzle it would shut off. I took it back to Lowe's thinking I just got a lemon and exchanged it for another Greenworks 2700 PSI as they had two on the floor for sale. I took it home and it did the exact same thing.... I found out there are a LOT of people leaving comments that the 2700 PSI pressure washer was doing the same thing on them also. Don't waste your time on the 2700. It's a defective product. I have the Greenworks 80 volt weed trimmer and chain saw and they have been great but this 2700 pressure washer was not worth the time or money.

[@bltefft]

11-/19/21 - Great video - Question - I picked mine up today from Lowe's and used it to wash my car and it did great. But, when I first turned it on, it ran for a little while and shut down. I checked everything. I'd power it on and it would run for a fraction of a section of a second and immediately shout down, like something was tripping the switch. Finally, I went to the faucet and turned it half off (reduced the water pressure to the machine) - I'd had it full open. Then, I fired it up again and it ran just fine from that time on. Is it your experience that too much water pressure to an electric pressure washer will make it shut down and a moment after pressing the power button?

Yeah, that's pretty weird, I've never experienced anything like that.

I have no kinks in the supply line but my development has magnificent water pressure...honestly you can just about cause an injury or peel paint with the shower head.
