Starting on
April 14th, there will be an instant $50 off coupon for this basic electric pressure washer.
This should be more than sufficient to clean most outdoor items.
- Redwood fencing
- Concrete patio/ pathways (very, very slowly)
- PERFECT for washing your car (granted, you're gonna need to spend some $ at Amazon for some upgrades: foam cannon, good soap, microfiber towels/ wash mitts, quick disconnects: these use m22-14 fittings)
** Do NOT expect the pressure of a gas pressure washer! This does about 1.2gpm. Check out Obsessed garage on YouTube for his observations on GreenWorks pressure washers (for washing cars).
** Similar to this model from the Greenworks website:

I recommend you get a foam cannon and stubby gun. You can get one for around $30. The stubby gun makes the cannon much less unwieldy. Also make sure you purchase a 1.1 orifice with the cannon.
I also recommend QD for everything but that's not cheap($10 for each connection for good ones).
For soap, there's tons of options. CG watermelon foam or whatever it's called is fine but not great. It's cheap and readily available though. Adam's Car Shampoo is better but more expensive. Honestly though pretty much any of the well rated foaming shampoo's will work. If you're washing a ceramic coated car, get CarPro Reset or Gtechniq G-Wash.
Just know that a foam cannon doesn't actually do that much besides look cool. It'll do a bit but the best way to do it is use the foam as like a secondary lubricant to a normal 2 bucket wash. So like foam, wash mitt with 2 bucket while the foam is on, rinse. If you don't mind using a lot of water I'd recommend foam, let sit, rinse, foam, wash, rinse.
Of course this is all just the washing phase. You should also be doing decon, buffing, waxing, etc.

If you want an actual step up, look at the Active VE52. Very high GPM output. Only issue is it's a no name brand, who knows if they'll honor the warranty in a year. And it a $220.

My Ryobi literally arrived today but judging from one of the comments if I still need a foam cannon (just bought on Amazon) that makes the green works pressure washer overpriced if it will do the same job as the Ryobi. Would still like to hear of any advantages to owning green works over Ryobi other than the wheels... lol

I had one of those cheaper wheeled ones for many years. Prefer the non-wheeled portable ones. Easier to move around and store on shelf or in a cabinet.
