Exclamation Pressure Washers on Sale!

I am not sure if anyone has had any experience with these models but the price is tempting!

Stanley Pressure Washer from The Home Depot - Model#: P1800S-BB

and this Greenworks one that is now a lower price. I need to make a decision soon

Shop Greenworks 1700 PSI 1.4 GPM Electric Pressure Washer at Lowes.com

Re: Pressure Washers on Sale!

I have seen some positive reviews of the Greenworks model, here on the AGO forum. Search around

Fyi, I just picked up a a CleanForce 1,800 PSI Electric PW from Home Depot and have no complaints.

Yeah, but it says free shipping.

Any idea how the wand is on that Stanley? I bought a B&D last year at HD but I hate it, liked my Karcher that I had gotten at Lowe's a bunch of years ago better.

EDIT: Looks like it's got some cool features, hose inlet is in the back, pressure hose reel is nice (dunno how long that rotary union is going to last though). Dunno what that pedal thing is for on the side, do you step on that while you are winding the reel? Also don't like how you have to break the wand down before holstering it.

Re: Pressure Washers on Sale!

Wondering about the Stanley because the reviews from Lowes on the Greenworks do not seem to be favorable...

Stanley makes solid tools. Not sure about their PWs.

I have a greenworks . works great . bought it cause of solid good reviews and has quick connect spray tips which allow a foam cannon to attach easily , no adapters needed . also has a low enough gpm to use with my cr spotless . the reviews has a decent 4 out of 5 stars and like 80% of the buyers would recommend it . yes there are a few negative reviews but u have to read them . got free shipping and last time I checked price was lowered like $30 . can purchase an additional warranty also . I don't know what people expect when u buy a $100-200 electric pw . it's good enough for me . if u want a really good one expect to pay $500+ for an electric pw . I don't need high gpm or psi so this works good for me . I did find that the wand-lance has fine or metric threads and u can't find replacement screw on fittings . not a big deal really . I actually put a quick connect right at the spray handle end to easily swap from spray wand to foam cannon without having to screw and unscrew all the time . I don't care for the foam cannon attached at end of lance , just too long and tip heavy .

Re: Pressure Washers on Sale!

well I bought the Greenworks. Got it with a 2 year warranty for $191 out the door so if it dies I simply take it back!

I ran it in the yard and my initial thoughts are good so far. Pressure is decent and the quick connect from the factory is a nice feature.

I now need to find a good foam/soap attachment for it now and ill be ready to rock.
